Default The Field Trip to the Dragon Reserve



Hidden in the higher mountains of Wales, Unplottable and rumoured to be located somewhere within Snowdonia, lies the Welsh Dragon Reserve. Established centuries ago, this reserve is home to the native Common Welsh Green; however, over the years other other breeds of dragons (such as the Hebridean Black, Peruvian Vipertooth, Norwegian Ridgeback, Swedish Short-Snout, Romanian Longhorn, and Chinese Fireball) have been added to the reserve for training and research purposes as well as the safe-keeping of these dangerous beasts.

Dragons roam freely within a valley, which has magically drawn perimeters, containing a wooded forest, grassy plains, and numerous streams. There is a well-worn path that dragonologists use to make their way around the reserve, which begins and ends at the base of a snowcapped mountain. Some of the smarter dragons like to linger around this area as the feral goats trekking on the lower ranges make for an easy meal.

A large and deep cave can be found up alongside the mountain, which is where many dragons like to brumate during the winter months. The cave also doubles up as the training and research facility used by the dragonologists that work at the reserve. University students who aspire to work with dragons are encouraged to visit the reserve, where they can observe under the supervision of an employed dragonologist.


-------- Friday, January 11, 2104 --------
-------- continued from THIS CLASS LESSON --------


The students arriving from Hogwarts via portkey landed near the dragonologist base of operations, right off the well-worn path. Their arrival was not announced nor expected, per the strict NO COMMUNICATION rules that were currently in place at the School. Some students may even have had parents, friends, relatives, or acquaintances already working at the reserve or visiting by coincidence on this day. Some students, on arrival, may have viewed this day as an opportunity to cause chaos for the rest of the world (after all, dragons are... very large, and do deserve to be free). Others may have seized the opportunity of this trip outside of the school boundaries as a chance to take back the freedom the Neo-Alliance has been limiting all school year.

Well well well, and welcome, Hogwarts Students. Welcome to your new playground?



OOC NOTE from 6:30 PM EST on 21 FEB. 2021: This thread will be closing to students in the next 24 hours, so please grab a portkey and get back to the School.

Nooooo! This wasn’t small talk, Aboli. This was code talk. Hence the emphasis. Lilith almost face palmed. They were outside of Hogwarts. HELLOOOOOO. Her baby blue eyes drifted around for the hood guys. Of course they were there. Of COURSE they hadn’t been splinched. OF COURSE.

There was a dragon in the vicinity. It was sleeping and breathing fire as it snored. ”No, thank you,” Lilith said with a solemn shake of her head. She was only here because she had to. Because skipping class might get her killed. She kept in step with the only person she trusted out here. Aboli.

”Isn’t that your school quote or something?” She asked her group. You Hogwartians. She was still Ilvermorny. In fact, she was so Ilvermorny that if she lives after all of this she’s going to ask her dad to transfer her back.

The Slytherin found herself jumping, startled. Before Aboli could completely take her hand away, Lilith reached out for her, holding for dear life. Not too tight, but also not letting go. Please. She needed this. “Oh, look. There’s another adult,” she whispered to her group. “I don’t think he’s lost his marbles. There other adults here.” Which meant they could totally tell on Rosier. It was a cry for help. Did they not understand? Or was she the only desperate one?

Things were beginning to unfold and chaos seemed to followed. This was a big nope from Lilith. If a war was to break out...LOL...there was no safe place to hide here. She clung to Aboli’s hand. If Lilith had to pick a big sister, she’d choose the Prefect.

Breathing down her neck a bit, probably.

"I'm William Williamson, Creatures Professor at Hogwarts, former dragonologist at the Romanian reserve," he whispered at her hurriedly, barely sneaking in a breath, "and the school is outta control. You HAVE help us. They-- they-- forced me to bring the kids here, and I think they're planning to release all the dragons, I don't know---"

He didn't know how candid he could be, and glanced over his shoulder to see if anyone was coming or hearing him.

"You should probably stun me or make it look like I attacked you or something, PLEASE. You have to help our kids. Things are bad. Real bad." Or or or maybe he could stun himself, because he wasn't sure he was going to make it out of this field trip alive either way.
No matter HOW excited Louise was to be able to be around dragons, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong. First of all, it kind of seemed strange that they were just allowed to just waltz around a dragon reserve. Second, she thought that Williamson had been acting more strange than usual, and - wait, did that hood just cast a spell on one of their group members??? Louise opened her mouth to get after them (even though Phoebe would probably have a fit if she did), but was distracted by the commotion happening back at their landing site.

She turned. Uncle Willy was getting yelled at - there were dragons flying around and spells being shot and... wait, where did those other people come from? Were they coming in via portkey too? Louise was frozen in her spot, letting the other group members walk ahead of her. They were too far away for Louise to hear what Willy and that other lady were saying, but there was a pit in her stomach. Something WAS terribly wrong. Or it was about to be.

This was a cry for help.

Uncle Willy was trying to get help, which was brilliant, but also STUPID because if it went sideways, he'd get HURT or KILLED and Louise was NOT okay with letting her favorite uncle (who technically wasn't even her uncle) get killed.

Fear rose up in Louise and she suddenly bolted away from her group, running back towards where Williamson was. With all the commotion of the dragons and the new people showing up, perhaps The Hoods wouldn't notice?

"UNCLE WILLY!" Louise yelled as she ran back to him. She didn't know WHAT to do or what she could even do to protect him, but she couldn't let him do this ALONE. He was her mum's BEST FRIEND and her mum had already been through enough in the last two years - Louise HAD to make sure he was okay.

"Willy-" Louise started to say as she barged in, but her fast feet slipped on the wet ground and she slid, colliding right into the blonde lady (Aurora). She grabbed the lady's dragon hide gear as her feet slid and fell right to the ground - but not before whispering LOUDLY: "YOU HAVE TO HELP US."

Although primarily based at a reserve in Scotland, Fintan Darcy had been known to help out on other sites. The dragon handler was well versed in looking after infants, particularly orphaned ones, and he had the scars to prove it. It was research he was doing on the Welsh reserve that day, looking at the growth of some of the new hatchlings - he had an orphaned Norwegian Ridgeback up north, and there was the possibility of moving it here, in order for it to grow with others. That was if he thought the older dragon would be willing to, for want of a better phrase, take the little one under her wing. (heh)

But all of that was out of his mind when he rounded the corner and saw the chaos in front of him. He'd checked in with Georgia earlier, and she'd not mentioned anything about a hoard of -

Wait, were these Hogwarts students?!

Mind half on the task at hand, Fin's sleeves were rolled up and his wand was out, but his eyes darted around the kids, looking for Flynn.

“Motto,’’ Claudine told Lilith. Hogwarts had a very weird motto, didn’t it? Oh well. Momentarily forgetting about the dragon her group had come across, her keen eyes swept the happenings that were in her line of vision. It certainly seemed as though there were many more adults around. “What’s going on?’’ came her bewildered whisper. “Should we go back?’’ Because based on her observations, something serious was definitely up.

Then again… that would mean leaving the sleeping babay.

Claudine turned to give him another appreciative look.

Whoever this was had some nerve yelling back at her. She was in charge here. Not him! Georgia stared at him as the twins circled overhead. Hopefully the shield charm she had tossed up would hold. ”You-what-a-what-what?” Was he speaking English? Why would a teacher bring children to a Dragon Reserve without an appointment?! Was he trying to get them killed? Because she didn't know how ending up as Dragon chow would 'help the kids' as he was asking.

There was a lot of information being tossed at her. Children were whispering or yelling and squealing and nearby a Chinese Fireball baby was hopping around. She was distracted as it bounded forward but then looked back at the man as he approached her whispering like a mad man. She raised her wand at him. ”Stop or I will - - “ she had no idea what was going on, but he seemed desperate and desperate men did desperate things. ”Stup-e-fy...."

Had she known reinforcements would have responded that efficiently, she might have not used the stunning spell on the man. As it was, she had been distracted enough by the arrival of the Ministry peoples, that the spell didn’t hit the man with as much power as it could. She was a dragon keeper, after all, and her stunning spells were pretty powerful. She only felt a little bit guilty about stunning the man too. He had been trespassing and he had asked for it. Literally.

”I have no idea. But there are students trespassing on the reserve all over the place. I have no idea of how many or why they are here.” She motioned to the man she had just shot the stunning spell at. ”He asked for it,” she said a little manically. ”Said something about releasing the dragons.” Surely the Ministry official understood how dangerous that was!

Post ATTENTIONS BOOTS!!!! Kitty's comin' for ya! Also, Quinn with da Muggleborns
The Gay Agenda™< >Homiesexual uwu

Quinn peeked up at Ash's words. Oh... they had a shield over them. Huh.

Quinn shakily stood up and looked around him. At least the dragons couldn't get in, but... how were they supposed to get out? What did the dragons want, anyway? To eat them?

He didn't really know any way to defend himself, so he went and cowered next to Minjae—he was the oldest, and most likely to know something. "So, uh... what should we do..?"

•••


Kitty was absolutely E-LA-TED when he got the call from the Ministry. He had only just been hired, not even first day, but he was already going on a mission? Sweet!

Kitty POP!ed into existence with his ink-less pen Portkey not too far from Aurora and Carson, and it seemed like that other cool guy had those other students covered...

...wait....students? What were Hogwarts students doing here? He had heard there were intruders, but he was expecting some punk wizards that had snuck in. Wasn't the term going on now? They really should be at school. And who were those freakishly large folks with big hoods that he couldn't make out any distinctive facial features under? Weird situation, this was.

Kit looked around to see what other students he should be corralling, and he spotted a group walking away from him. He started jogging after them. He, sadly, did not notice the sleeping dragon.

"Hey! Please come back over here! You know you're not supposed to be here, right?"

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

There was a guy! WALKING TOWARDS THEM! THIS COULD BE THEIR CHANCE! She tugged on his sleeve and gave him her most EFFECTIVE puppy eyes. If there was one time she needed to look like someone in obvious trouble, who needed obvious saving, it was now. She needed ATTENTION! There were adults here, and she was gonna get RESCUED. "Please, sir," she whispered, out of the hearing of any hoods. "Save us. And I'm not talking about the dragons. We need to escape." She glanced at the hoods. "I don't want to go back to Hogwarts." She sniffled loudly, and gave more puppy eyes. "Don't let me go back." And then she stepped back, acted casual, and said LOUDLY, "wow, I think he has fireproof clothes. How cool is that?" She had adults all figured out. The non-alliance ones needed her to act like something was obviously wrong, and the alliance ones needed her to act like everything was fine. So while Ash was the picture of cool, calm, and collected, her eyes were begging anyone she saw who wasn't a hood to help. This was her chance, and she wasn't going to throw it away.

Listen, Phoebe wanted to be the CHILL one, and anyone who knew her well would say that she generally wasn't bossy... so it pained her that the rest of her group was looking at her like she was the jerk of the universe. And even still, she was right, because Ithrel couldn't talk and the Goon Squad was looking murderous.

But then everything went sideways, and Phoebe didn't have time to fret about how very uncool and bossy worrying about people's safety was making her look. The hexing was one thing, but Professor Jawline was scrabbling with some adult lady, Louise had basically thrown herself down the mountainside... and was that a baby dragon squawking from somewhere nearby?

"Should we go after Louise, or...?" Did it seem like there were suddenly a TON of adults around? "O-or maybe we should get down? I sort of feel like things are about to get really bad."

There was more interesting stuff happening around them than this conversation. Like, asking adults to rescue them and then Phoebe panicking over such a small comment. Bahaha. Ilya had a lopsided smile. Also, did anyone notice a hooded figure walking super close to them all of the sudden??? Ilya noticed. He didn't know why or what the figure had done, but it was disconcerting.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Yep, yep. "Oh yeah, you'd be deaf if you didn't hear. I think..." Ilya looked backwards where the other students were, but he could not see where the professor was at this time. "... I think it's just the dragon... that we're looking for... although following the sound doesn't sound like such a good idea." He had his wand clutched in his hand. Unlike Ivy, he didn't care if he broke a law if he was trying to save his life! "Let's go back." Was he a coward? Maybe. He was a wise coward, though.

His hair started darkening just slightly...

She should have known what was coming - she had not been very discreet, after all. If she was not irrationally angry about being forced to stay silent, she would have felt lucky that she was pure-blood, therefore only receiving minimum punishment for stepping out of line. She nodded at Ivy in response to her kind query and continued the climb up to the cave. This dragon field trip was pointless, they were so close to freedom, so close to -

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!

- a hungry dragon. Or maybe a sad dragon. How many were there? Were they the Welsh Green? The Ravenclaw would have been curious in normal circumstances, but did not really care at this point. She stopped in her tracks and turned to face the older students. She rolled her eyes at Heath's question, ignored Ivy's because she could not cast spells non-verbally anyway, and gave a half-nod half-shrug at what Ilya suggested. WWW told them to look at dragons and take notes, so he probably thought this was safe. On the other hand, he had been acting really weird this morning, making her doubt everything he said. She glanced back at the hooded figures, wondering what they wanted to achieve. They had followed the students all the way here - surely they would not just let them go back.

Ivy was relieved to see the nod from Irithel as extra confirmation that she wasn't hurt. She also wanted to undo the spell now that they were presumably getting close to a dragon, in case she needed to defend herself, but again there was still the question of whether they were allowed to use magic right now. Plus...the hooded figure would probably still get mad at her for reversing their punishment. And then maybe make it worse. So...maybe they'd be fine just with there being older students here.

There was definitely a lot of loud noises in the direction they'd come from - and suddenly Louise had bolted back that way. And Ilya and Phoebe were questioning whether to keep looking for the dragon.

Ivy was torn too. This was what the professor had told them to do, and now they were close. And if it was a baby dragon, she was curious to see one up close. But also... "Yeah, I have a...bad feeling too." Something hadn't been adding up in this whole lesson. Everything just felt...off. "So maybe we should follow her? Professor Williamson said to stick with our group." They couldn't just leave her, right? Even if she'd been the one to leave the group first.

She was distracted as it bounded forward but then looked back at the man as he approached her whispering like a mad man. She raised her wand at him. ”Stop or I will - - “ she had no idea what was going on, but he seemed desperate and desperate men did desperate things. ”Stup-e-fy...."

Jasper hadn't been to the Dragon Reserve since his collegiate days. These were not the circumstances he would have preferred for his return. He had no idea what to expect. But he had an anxious feeling in the pit of his stomach at what he may find. Emergencies like this didn't come often at the Ministry.

He arrived with a loud pop, coughing a bit at the force of the landing (he never did enjoy traveling via portkey). His eyes darted around the scene as his hand found his wand in his pocket. With his other hand, he tossed the rusty metal bucket-turned-portkey aside.

Were those....students? Wearing Hogwarts robes? Jasper's eyes widened in disbelief. He had expected fires and angrily flapping wings. Or something of the sort. Whatever he had pictured....it wasn't this.

A few of his colleagues had already arrived, but his eyes were glued to the group of students (the boot group) walking straight toward the Hebridean Black. Followed by an unfamiliar face, who Jasper remembered from just this morning as a brand new employee (Kitty). Merlin, this was bad. Where were the adults? Who let a bunch of kids into the dragon reserve? Japser had no clue what was going on, but one thing was clear: kids walking toward a sleeping dragon could not end well. Not to mention that Kitty had just yelled out, which would probably startle the creature. He somehow felt like his newest coworker might need some backup monetarily. So the committee agent immediately took off in a jog toward the group, giving his department head (Aurora) a head nod as he passed.

Valencia was somewhat bothered by the fact that they seemed so rattled with just a little noise. This was supposed to be a fully staffed reserve. Things were probably going to be fine.

She shrugged indifferently when they all seemed to want to leave. "I wouldn't be against being a little closer to our... chaperones." As in the not-to-be-trusted hooded ones. She wanted to keep an eye on them.

As for the wands... "Yes. You can use them. It's a school trip. And even if it wasn't, if it's a serious matter, you're allowed to."

The hooded figures along the perimeter continued their work until all the protective wards around the reserve were gone, finishing just before the woman (Georgia) appeared. Fortunately, the figures following the students were alerted to the screaming and descended on the professor and the woman, but not before the woman had time to send off a patronus. More people soon showed up, and spells went flying.

A hooded figure drew their wand, aiming a stunning spell at the old woman (Georgia). More figures joined in, casting stunning spells at the man yelling at the students (Kitty) and that insufferable department head (Aurora). Then the figures turned on the other less annoying workers. “Incarcerous!” one commanded, aiming the spell at the man jogging by (Jasper).

“Petrificus Totalus!” Another aimed at the man whistling at the Chinese Fireball (Andrei), while another hooded figure sent a Finger Removing Jinx at the man pointing his wand at the two dragons (Carson).

Then there was the foolish Gryffindor (Louise). A loud BANG sounded as a hooded figure sent a powerful knockback jinx at her. “Get back to your group, girl,” the figure snarled. Just be thankful they didn’t do worse… yet!

Amidst the chaos, one figure turned and shouted to the students, “STUDENTS, RELEASE THE DRAGONS! Destroy their environment. Use any means necessary.”

Free...the...dragons?

How about free the Eden Alexis Tilly?

Eden drew her wand out among the chaos, looking around for where she was meant to "release" the dragons to. An exit, if you will.

There was a treeline. Maybe the exit was that way? They could at least maybe hide. But she was only a first year. Firstie + Dragon = Here Lies Disgrace To Ravenclaw House Eden Tilly.

"Hey Moose," Eden whispered, tapping her elbow to his. She wanted to take advantage of the chaos. "Want to get out of here?"

"I think I saw a dragon behind those trees,"
Eden added, louder this time.

Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!

Mamie was NOT okay, for the record. Things were happening, spells flying, there were suddenly many more adults. And Williamson was down. With Williamson down, and apparently a bunch of other adults getting attacked by the Inquisitorial Squad, Mamie clung to the young man (Carson) who had come and stood between them and the dragons and gotten his fingers...um, removed. He looked familiar. Familiar was good. Minjae was lucky this adult had come near their group, otherwise she'd be swarming him with the others.

But now the Hood Squad wanted them to...release the dragons? Mamie was all for saying dragons should be free, but...didn't these people know dragons were a danger to wizards and Muggles? If they could eat Muggles, they could eat wizards. There was no difference between them! (Well, just the one)

"Please please please help us," she whispered to man who was thankfully not stunned like Williamson and Georgia. They were just stunned, right? Not dead? She was so focused she didn't notice Eden and Moose over there, plotting an escape. Mamie didn't want to escape, she just wanted to go back to Hogwarts.

She'd gladly return the man's fingers if he could tell her how to do the counter-jinx.

Yes, the young Gryffindor (Cecelia) was right. Dragons did get grumpy when they’re woken up. This Hebridean Black was, by all means, no exception. All the yelling from nearby adults (Kittredge) caused him to abruptly awaken.

And. He. Was. Angry.

Rising from his slumber, the large dragon flapped its wings and began breathing fire towards the group of nearby students (Aboli, Lilith, Cecelia, Claudine, Morgan) and flying in their direction.

****


Unable to penetrate the shield that had been cast between themselves and the children (MUGGLEBORNS) with the SHINIES, the Vipertooth twins, instead, began flapping overhead others nearby (Carson and Inquisitorial Squad).

Did they know what it felt like to be hit by dragon dung? Well, now was their opportunity because these twins had consumed a LARGE breakfast and it was time to relieve themselves. Ah.

DUNG, INCOMING!

The children best be careful too! There's enough dung to go around.

****


The baby Fireball wanted a SNACK! The children (Ingrid, Nemesis, and Kinsay) looked so tasty!!! Except. HEY!

BOINK. BOINK. BOINK.

There seemed to be some sort of shield blocking it from the kids and the baby was not happy about it. She waaaaaaaailed in Dragonese, only to be momentarily distracted by whistling. Redirecting her attention towards the whistling man (Andrei), the Fireball started running towards him instead!!!! She wanted to nip at him!!

*****


The group of first years (Atlas, Tahdg, Dahlia) were spared by the shield thrown between them and the dopey Ridgeback thanks to one of the adults nearby (Aurora).

But from behind, an angered Chinese Fireball flapped over and picked one of the children (Dahlia) up with its talons and began flying off.

*****


Perhaps the two girls (Phoebe and Ivy) were onto something in suggesting going after their friend (Louise). Unfortunately, a large Welsh Green had the same idea. It made quick work of dropping down and picking up the red-headed child (Louise), scooping her up, up, UP into the air.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Kittredge Flannigan

The Gay Agenda™< >Homiesexual uwu

Why was so much happening????

Quinn's head was spinning with confusion. People were popping into existence, Professor Williamson got Stupefied, one of the people worked for the Ministry, someone was helping them, dragons were—pooping? Ew! Quinn made sure to stay away from that.

But... the Hoods wanted them to... release the dragons? As in... away from the reserve? How were they supposed to do that? Quinn was just fine under this shield charm for now, thank-you-very-much!

•••


Kit barely had time to dodge as a Stupefy was sent his way—luckily the hooded guy was in his peripheral, and he saw the red spell before it hit him. He managed to whip out his wand and wordlessly cast a Shield charm, sending the spell hurtling back towards the person. "Hey! I'm a Ministry Official, you know!" Who did these people think they were? You couldn't just release dragons out into—

Uh oh.

He was kicking himself now for not being more observant. Something to chew on in the future, I guess. He pumped his legs as hard as they could take him towards the students—they may be trespassers, but nobody would be dying if Kittredge Cornell Flannigan had anything to say about it!

He made it over to the group and shouted "Protego Maxima!", creating a very nice and strong Shield charm if Kittredge did say so himself. This should protect all of them from the dragon and any wayward spells that happened to get sent their way...so long as he could keep his focus. He chuckled a bit out of embarrassment.

"Hey..! Er... sorry about that... ahaha...ha..."

“Yes, I meant bromating”, Ingrid replied, her eyes now narrower as she eyed the older boy (Nem), her eyes moving from Kinsay up to him and narrowing with an icy stare. Sure, she had technically mispronounced the word but the stupid, older boy knew what she had said. “Good, I’m glad. I thought you were… but what she thought Kinsay was would have to wait because a baby dragon had just bounded towards the group in all of its splendour!

“KINSEY! Kinsey! It’s a Chinese Firebolt! KiNSeeeyyYy! her mouth now open wide in absolute delight, the stupid Nem boy all but gone as her eyes drank in the baby dragon! It was real and perfect and of so incredibly beautiful.

“Come ON! Let’s go….HEY!

Why do people always ruin everything! “It won’t hurt us! See! Look, it’s trained. It’s listening to the whistle and everything. Kinsay, we can go see it! A real dragon!. Forget the stupid boy and his shielding charm, they could get around it!

It wasn’t until one of the hooded figures shouted however that Ingrid began to actually stop, her excitement dwindling. “Destroy their environment? NO! DON’T LISTEN TO THEM! DO NOT DO THAT!”. How dare they try and hurt these cute, amazing creatures! If the sound of her shouting didn't frighten the hooded figures then the absolute look of pure anger and heat radiating from her face would freeze them in place. Or maybe she just looked constipated, but like, scary.

Chaos may have been all around her but she was oblivious for the most part, as she stood there, in between the Nem boy and Kinsay, her eyes on the hooded figures as they hexed and cursed practically every adult in the vicinity. Sure, some kids might have been worried about their teacher or the random adults who had had spells thrown at them but, you know, BABY DRAGONS!

“Let’s follow the Firebolt! We NEED to protect it! her eyes now looking imploringly at her friend. “You saw the way it wanted to come see us and play!” Maybe to some, she would sound crazy but she knew Kinsay would understand. There was also the added bonus that they would then hopefully get the chance to escape the hooded figures and hopefully escape Hogwarts so that was also a plus. But, you know, saving dragons first and then escape. Maybe they could even ESCAPE ON A BABY DRAGON!

Flynn typically was BEYOND excited about anything dragon related, and typically Care of Magical Creatures was his favourite class, it was just that this year things were kind of different and he had taken to disassociating in most of his lessons to cope with whatever the traumatic event of the day happened to be.

He had silently tagged along with his group, the [insert portkey here] kids, and then a bunch of things happened at once: dragons, spells, people, yelling for them to free dragons for some reason that honestly Flynn couldn't figure out, and more importantly, an unexpected familiar face.

"Fin!" Flynn BOLTED for the man who was like a second father to him. Fintan had been with his mum for most of Flynn's life and even though his mum and Fin weren't married, the man was his legal guardian and his little brother's father and and and--- he practically collided with him, wrapping his arms around him in a desperate hug. This wasn't real. Was it real? It couldn't be real.

WHY. WAS. THAT. MAN. YELLING?

Didn’t he KNOW that you shouldn’t be yelling around sleeping dragons? Wasn’t that a THING adult wizards knew? Gosh. Cece’s attempt at putting her finger to her lips to shush the man were too little too late as the guy WOKE THE DRAGON! And no, this wasn’t their fault at all. They’d been being super quiet, at least. Maybe Williamson could be proud of that much.

Wait, more adults... MORE ADULTS! This was good! But the angry dragon was bad! But ADULTS! But being BARBECUED! Cece let out a little shriek and felt the HEAT and shouting about releasing dragons and spells and then...nothing.

Blink. Blink. Blink.

That man. The yelling man. He was laughing. He’d made a shield and he was... laughing? UH. Could they trade adults over here or?

”What do we do?!” She was asking Aboli here, because the adult person needed to stay occupied with the shield and was Aboli old enough to do magic outside school?

Default old boots + Kittredge + RELEASE THE KRAKENS?
A Poop * k8 *

Ah, it WAS there school motto. Don't bother a sleeping dragon? Or tickle? Or wake? Something in Latin, which Aboli still didn't know. Valencia knew, but she did not. She squeezed Lillith's hand once more as chaos ensued, but let go to grab her wand as an adult approached. She shot Claudine a look of concern.

Now, they were close to the dragon, but not like....SUPER close. And this guy - who was he???- WAS YELLING. Oh crap! "SHHHH!" she told the older adult man, feeling much more like an adult as she was the oldest in this group. She started to approach him. "We're from Hogwarts....we're here on a field trip! It's not OUR fault we're - "

Well. She wasn't able to finish her sentence. Because someone had rendered a stupefy, for Aboli had heard it. She gripped her wand and held it out, seeing Williamson go down yards and yards away. So he was out. Cool. They had no protection now. Zero. The hooded figures yelled SOMETHING about releasing dragons which was really dumb - could some of the dragons step on/burn THEM? She wished she had that animal talking to potion so she could communicate with one of them -____-

Baby dragon was awake. CRAP. He was MAD. HE WAS DOING HIS FIRE THING AT THEM. Aboli was SPRINTING back to her group, the adult person forgotten momentarily, "PROTEGO!" she yelled, trying her best to put up a shield between THEM and the FIRE. The adult guy had also casted a shield, so they'd REALLY Be fine, but she had not missed the look from Cece, and Aboli GLARED AT THE MAN [Kittredge.]

"You are an IDIOT you know! We're in DANGER! Stop laughing! Those guys are gonna hurt you!" she gestured at the hooded figures. "Did you NOT just hear them tell us to release the dragons?!" which how did one EVEN DO? "Does that sound like a rational LESSON PLAN to you, sir?" She added the sir for good measure because she was frustrated and didn't know what to do and how they should even follow the hooded guys' orders.

"I don't care what the hooded guys are saying - we need to get away from the dragons. Williamson is down - " she said, breathing heavily. "Is there somewhere we can take refuge???" she glanced around.

!!!!!

Now that Irithel was silenced, Louise decided to do something dumb? Apparently Professor Williamson was her uncle, which would explain why she was risking her life to run to him and do precisely what Irithel suggested a few minutes ago. Speaking of WWW, it looked like he was also doing something dumb and - *gasp* he was dead! The second year shrieked (which she could still somewhat do with her tongue stuck to the roof of her mouth), then twice more but louder when Louise was knocked back by a hood and snatched by a dragon. She nod nod nodded at Phoebe and Ivy. They should go after their group mate and save her. The hooded chaperones wouldn't mind them prioritising precious wizard life, right? They could destroy the dragons' environments if/when Louise was back with them. She finally took out her wand, unintentionally sending sparks due to the strong emotions she was feeling. She then pulled at Valencia's sleeve. Let's go!!!


. . .


"Yes, ma'am!" he quickly replied to his boss, though he was still waiting to see what the Vipertooths would do. As he was not a dragonologist, he needed some time to figure out the creatures' traits and predict their next moves. He did not want to harm them unless it was necessary. What they did was not completely unexpected - excretion was a normal part of life, after all - but did the twins really have to do it at the same time, on innocent humans? "Evanesco! Protego Maxima!" he shouted, vanishing some of the precious fertiliser material and blocking the rest with another magical shield. Heavy dragon dung splattered onto the invisible barrier and dripped down to the ground.

Carson shifted slightly for a better aim and cast a Sleeping Charm on one of the twins. He was about to do the same for the other dragon when he suddenly dropped his wand. Oops! Maybe he was too nervous for his first assignment. Or maybe he no longer had fingers. What kind of idiot pranked a Ministry employee in the middle of an emergency? "What was that for?" he spat angrily at the hooded student.

Then other non-hooded students, smol ones (Ashley & Mamie) were clinging to him and giving him puppy eyes and asking him to save them. Of course, he knew that Hogwarts was a dangerous place, and he had been unable to communicate with his younger sister at all in the past few months. It was just starting to dawn on him that things were terribly wrong, the students were here on some torture field trip, and the hooded people were not students. Because not even Prefects removed all wards around a reserve and ordered their classmates to release dragons. "Um, o - okay. P - please return my fingers?" and he told them the incantation of the counter-jinx.

He ... he could Apparate them out, all of them. Once his hands had fingers again. "You might want to d - destroy the environment, like they said," he said to the child who asked what he should do (Quinn). He was catching on that the students had to comply with the cloaked figures' orders. They should do that, save themselves, and the Ministry would do everything they could to contain the dragons.

Freedom. Nem took half a step back once Limpet was unlatched, but for the moment had eyes mostly on the baby Chinese Fireball, and then beyond, still expecting a mother to make itself known at any moment. "Not a good idea to mess with a dragon's young," they said to the enamoured kids. "Even if it does approach you first." Which made it a good idea, really, depending on what it was you were aiming for.

All around them, a sort of entry-level chaos was starting to reign. Dragons were everywhere (in a dragon reserve, shocking), Weasley was down, kids were panicking and several looked like they were trying to get help. Adults were portkeying in - if the items they held were anything to go by - and it took a moment for Nem to work out whether they were dragon reserve employees, Neo-Alliance members or followers, or just people arriving from wherever that old woman's patronus had gone. The fact that they were swooping in to help the dragons and the kids implied the former or latter, and the portkeys suggested they might have come from further afield than the reserve itself. Ministry or some other specialist group then.

One such bloke had come to whistle for their dragon, and so Nem lifted the shield charm. This, as it happened, was the perfect opportunity to disappear, and while the others were more or less likely to be distracted, they rapped their wand down sharply on top of their own head, and felt the familiar cool trickles of Disillusionment. Gripping Limpet's shoulder and briefly squeezing it, they leaned down and muttered into her ear, "Stay near the nice fire-bender, look after the others, and be smart." And then quickly darted away... slowed slightly by the sharp pain in their knee, but not entirely hindered by it. If Limpet thought they were fleeing to find more help, that could work, but Nem didn't care to try very hard to convince her or anyone else.

Then things stepped up a gear. Nice call, Neo-Alliance Grunt, but Nem was way ahead of you. On their way to the grassy plains in the middle distance, however, they did pause to turn back, aim their wand at the do-gooder Luck girl, and shoot a nonverbal Oscausi at her. Not waiting to see if it hit its mark, they continued on their merry, Disillusioned way to the plains.

Chaos. There was so much going on that Atlas did not even register a familiar face among the group of Ministry employees that had just arrived. What he did register, because it happened a few yards in front of him since he was still glued in space to his arrival spot, was that one of the girls in his group had been picked UP by one of the dragons and was now being taken away. To be eaten, he assumed. Flight instincts kicking in to high gear, Atlas looked around for somewhere to hide - anywhere to hide - and that was when he saw Professor Williamson fall...and fall HARD.

Oh no.

Oh no.

oh no no no no no!
Hoping that the ensuing chaos (yikes at that one Gryffindor getting knocked back like that with the jinx and then ALSO getting scooped up by a dragon) would cloak him as he made a dart across the area towards the man, Atlasknew he could rely on only one spell so far this term and that had been Protego. Sure, it was unlikely to do much good against a DRAGON but...oh well. Darting and then flopping down beside the man to play possom, Atlas' hands hovered over the man and he was afraid that he was dead. Was that a little bit of drool though....OH NO CHEST MOVEMENT EVERYTHING WAS FINE!

Only it wasn't fine at all but at least he knew Professor Williamson was alive and that gave him...some hope. Wand out, since casting magic was surely okay with the Ministry on site, Atlas cast a Protego around them both and then curled up into a tight ball, fingers plugged into his ears, beside the man while pulling his dark robes all around himself to hide. With how much dust and dirt that had now covered the material...maybe he could blend in and look like a rock next to the professor.

There was courage in a little self preservation, okay?

Grinning as the Chinese Fireball turned its attention to himself, recognizing that hungry gleam to the beat's eyes, Andrei twisted his hand holding the small ball of flame at the wrist and curled his fingers in more and more rapidly to continue to amass the heat. His thick boots dug into the dirt as he walked backwards, glancing briefly over his shoulder to ensure he did not trip over anything, and soon the elemental magic in his hand had accumulated to roughly the size of a watermelon, which should be plenty for him to manipulate for this young Fireball.

Pivoting suddenly as the beast charged on, Andrei wove the flame into the shape of three small hens and with a grunt released them from his hand in a similar fashion that one would use Oppugno - only his intention was not to cause harm but to distract and have the young dragon chase the fire hens around for a bit. They did not exactly cluck but each time their beaks opened there was a loud POPPING sound like wood in the fireplace.

He was just turning his attention back to the group of students when suddenly the people in hoods began attacking his colleagues. The 25-year-old had about a split second recognition that something had been hurtled his way and he just barely leaped out of the way of it. In fact, the spell just barely grazed his right shoulder as he dove but it was enough to render it dead. He therefore fell to the ground hard on his left side, his right arm hanging loosely across his hip and incapacitated.

Cursing to himself in Romanian as he jumped back to his feet, he immediately began to wandlessly manipulate the air once again to create more fire to his hand. Who were these people and what in the bloody hell were they trying to accomplish here?! Torn between retaliation and protection, Andrei wanted to check on the group of kids the Fireball had been previously charging towards...but dragons were the more predictable species here today...and thus he hurtled his own attack in the form of a bludger sized ball of fire right back to the hooded figure in hopes of incapacitating them temporarily.

"Move into the building!" he barked, his Romanian accent rolling off the tongue as fluidly as the flames from his hand, to the group of kids while blocking the path between them and these mysteries people. "Get inside and stay there!"

He was going to have to take care of his other shoulder, and arm, soon. But after he dealt with this figure who had first attacked him and only after he ensured that both the Fireball and children were in safer positions.

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

Oh no. Lots of people were down, and Ash couldn't tell if they were dead or stunned. And... there was falling poop. That she mercifully avoided. Ash quietly returned the mans fingers, probably. He might be missing a couple. To distract, she said loudly, "I think there are dragons over there. Let's release them." And she pointed in a direction where she could not see any dragons. "By 'destroy the environment', does that mean fire? I can do fire." Maybe she could put up a fire shield between herself and the hoods. Any means necessary. But she waited for confirmation from someone before she started lighting stuff on fire. What else could she do though? She couldn't go with Carson. They would all just get murdered, and he was way too young for her to be willing to do that to him. The safest way was to comply and go back, and she really didn't want that. There were no good options.
