Messer listened carefully when Arya was speaking. "Yes. I agree with Arya." There's no need to capture another flag if they already got enough, right? If they do that they might lose another flags or even worse their housemates. And he was up to defense their flags until his last breath the game is over.

"Well, I can help you with the human barrier." he said. But with the charm he can't help much. "All I know that might help us is Protego." he shrugged. "And maybe a Confundus Charm. We can use it to confuse our opponents when they're about to steal our flag?" But he didn't know if he could do that particular charm or not.

Tayla needed to take a risk if she wanted to get a flag. She moved slowly and quietly, hiding herself behind boulders and bushes. She'd have to be as patient as she could, waiting for the right opportunity.

"Oh I don't think so missy." Minerva smiled as she saw a young girl hiding. She didn't know from which house, but she was ready either way.

Whilst on his way to attack, Hades had followed Selena's advise on casting the Gripping Charm on his wand hand to lower the chance of getting disarmed. The first fort he planned to infiltrate was the Hufflepuff's. With his experience in stealthing and Slytherin's cunningness, he sneaked behind the Badger guards cautiously to avoid notice. Nevertheless, Hades kept his guard up as he extended his hand to reach the yellow flag.

"OH I DON'T THINK SO" Minerva saw the green and rushed over pointing her wand. "Immobulous" as she said it she reached her hand to tag the boy.

Isobel had no idea what was going on? How had she missed the Hufflepuff team capturing three flags? Where had she been? Isobel sure had not been a part of the capturing; Isobel was not very good at this game; even though she loved it. Isobel made her way to the group of Hufflepuff's gatheres by the Whopming Willow, protecting the flags. "Whoa, what's going on?" Hopefully one of them could fill her in. Wait! There was someone trying to steal their flag! Well, it looked like a second year had it covered.

Minerva was trying to capture the Slytherin when the sixth year acted confused. "Did you get a spell on you or something?" she looked oddly at the girl. "We have three flags, but this one" pointing to the boy "thinks he can come and take one and there are others hiding out so keep ready and watching."

Sophie also saw the girl hiding and pointed her wand at her. "Don't move, I can see ya!"

Still staring at the Gryffindor girl, Sophie waved at Min and the older girl. "Hey, take care of the Slytherin, you two!! When you're done help me out with her!" she was kind of confidente about holding back this Gryffindor girl, but since she looked a little older than Sophie anyway, it would be good to have help, if she needed it.

Luckily, he expected the incoming attack. Without looking clearly at his attacker, Hades swished his wand before him. "Protego!" he spoke and saw as a little girl was reaching for him. That was when he knew that he should put his martial arts skills at use. A kid trying to attack him? Oh~ He didn't think so. As fast as lightning, he jumped back a foot away and twirled his wand in the girl's direction. "Expelliarmus!" Take that, kiddo!

Before another filtyhy Badgers tried to tag him, Hades pointed his wand on the grass where the others were standing. "Glisseo," he mumbled before running off for the flag.

"Oh great!" Tayla thought. Immediately realizing that she was spotted, she made a run for it before anyone could try and grab her. "Come on Tayla! You're a third year. Think fast!"

"Confundus!" she pointed towards the first Hufflepuff girl who saw her. That could bid her some time.


"Expelliarmus!" Tayla said the Disarming Charm quickly towards the first year pointing her wand at her.

She ran away as quickly as she could.

Sophie was looking back and forth from the Gryffindor girl to where the others were with the Slytherin boy. She heard him charming the ground in front of them and quickly pointed her wand to the same spot. "Finite!!" There, no more slippery ground for any of them! "HIT, Whomping Willow! HIT!!! she thought looking back and pointing her wand at the Gryffindor girl again.

Then she started running towards the girl, with her hand stretched out to tag her, but never lowering her wand, of course.
*
Sophie saw her wand flying from her hand and saw the Gryffindor running away. "Gaaahh!!" she ran to get her wand back and looked again in the direction of the girl.

Minerva laughed "Protego" "Protego" she said at the spells coming at her. She still was after the boy. She pointed her wand at the girl "Expelliarmus" to get her some time and reached for the boy. "Come on Mr.. your mine."

As Janice passed the Huffie area, she saw a Snake pointing his wand towards the ground, performing that charm everybody started using for this game. Think fast, Janice, she said to herself, think fast! And that was when she remembered that thing her cousins called 'Stealth Roll'. If she does it correctly, she would roll twice and end up on her feet, and if she's really lucky, she would end up running. Deciding to just do it, she lunged forward just before the spell hit the ground.

And she did it! Apparently, her hand that had been affected by the Gripping Charm worked on slippery surfaces like what the 'Glisseo' had done. She had literally rolled herself out of the charm's effect and is now running towards that pesky Snake who was attempting to capture the flag.

Janice quickly caught up with the boy. She decided that she would be coming from his right since Minnie is already nearing up his back. She reached her hand forward, towards his sleeve, and.................

Oh, great! Now all those yellows were attacking him and another girl. "Hey!" called Hades, still jumping around like a monkey to avoid the spells. "Lets help each other out in this," he meant blocking the spells. "STUPE-" shouted Hades, but stopped halfway as he recalled that the Stunning Spell wasn't allowed. Did the Puffer just claimed him hers? "Sorry, kiddo! I'm not into Hufflepuffs," he said cheekily, still jumping and running around.

"Silencio!" said Hades with his wand pointed at the girl. Now, how'd you like not being able to speak the incantations, kiddo?

"Immobulous" Minerva screamed at the snake pointing her wand. She had enough messing around even though she was still laughing. She reached out her hand to her once and for all. "Jail time buddy." she said as she was putting her hand up.

Nate saw 2 people. He saw that the slytherin was taken care of. So that means the gryfinndor. He pointed his wand at her and said "Expelliarmus!"

As the Gryffindor girl ran away, Sophie turned to face him and started going his way too. All of them could focus on this Slytherin guy now.
"It is indeed jail time, mister! Immobulus!" at least ONE of their spells had to get to him, huh? "Get him, Minerva!"

Nate then aimed his wand at the slytherin. "Expelliarmus!"

"Good spot! I'll add mine up there too... on the opposite side." Still in their territory, but hard to catch. But oh! She had tentacles for hands, Arya looked at them. Could she still cast? Hm.

She glanced over at the younger badger, "No... the tree is it's own protection, they should be fine so long as we don't let anyone near the tree." And she was sure they'd do an awesome job protecting the flags!

She smiled at the pair of them. "Don't worry, I can cast those." Maybe. "What you guys CAN cast." And she was looking at all the little badgers now. "Is cast finite! They can't get a hold of the flags without the gripping charm, if we remove the charms, it'll take them longer to try and give us more time to tag them." A good idea, right? She thought so.

"Great! Tag as many as you can, and cast finite at their hands to remove their gripping charms." She sure hoped the little Puffs had good aim. Hehe.

"You can cast finite at their hands, too, Messer." She grinned at the ickle Puff. He was such a smart little Puff. "Confundus is great charms to use as well!" They were so creative!

An intruder! She spotted the Slytherin, but didn't need to run after him. The other badgers were doing such a GOOD JOB going after him. And they'd removed the slippery floor. Go them!

Not all she had to do was get rid of the tentacles so she could help. "Hey guys? I need some help." Hehe.

Sophie looked at the older bagder and her... tentacles. She got closer to her, looking at those weird things with wide eyes. "I'm not sure if it'll work, but..." she pointed her wand at the girl's tentacles. "Finite!" she waited to see if her spell would work. "I'm Sophie, by the way!" she added smiling up at the older Hufflepuff.

"What do you need help with? Oh and I'm Nate."

Alyssa quickly ran to join the rest of her house mates. "I'm finally here to help. I'm sorry that it took so long to get here. But now I am, and I'm determined to not let anyone get our flags,"Alyssa said with a determined look on her face. Taking out her wand she was ready for anything.

Sophie smiled at Alyssa. She was glad to see more Hufflepuffs coming to help out. It would be a lot harder for the other houses to get the flags back with all of them there at the same time! Woop!

"Hi, Alyssa!" she waved at her. "Welcome to our territory!"

"Hi Sophie. You guys did a good job. Let me just cast one more spell." Taking out her wand, Alyssa waved it around the surrounding area and said "Homenum Revelio." This spell will reveal to us any other human presence in this area. And sure enough a loud alarm immediately went off. "We have an enemy in our territory. Quick, Defensive Mode."

At the sound of the alarm, Sophie jumped and held her wand at the ready, looking around eagerly.
