| | The Wooden Bridge The wooden bridge is a covered bridge of questionable construction that connects the courtyard to the rest of the grounds. This rickety bridge has been damaged and repaired many times over and although it looks like it may fall apart and send students tumbling down into the ravine below at any given moment.... it probably won't. That would be highly unlikely. Most unusual. Possibly a first. Still, any exceptionally loud creaking should be reported to the groundskeeper just in case.
This long and narrow bridge has held its own for many, many years and deserves your respect. On your way between the grounds and the castle, why don't you stop and admire the view for a moment? |

Gabriel Hawthorne-Melo #47316F Law Enforcement | order side Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE! Peggy Laplace was not fully sure how she had ended up on the bridge. When she heard what was going on, she had come to Hogwarts straight away, not even stopping to send a message to her children to please don't come. Hopefully they would have the sense to stay home today. They didn't listen to the radio, probably. As for herself, she'd been waiting months for an opportunity to finally show the Neo-Alliance just what she thought of their ideology and methods. She hated them. Muggle, Muggleborn, or pureblood, all had value. Hopefully there would be some Muggleborn wizards here today to show the Neo-Alliance truly what that meant.
As for how she had gotten here, specifically, she had run from the gates, dodging spells and casting some in return. All those years of daily runs were finally paying off, she wasn't even winded.
She was not sure who was on which side here, aside from the obvious felons, she only recognized two people--someone from MLE, and her former headmistress. She started trying to draw conclusions, but did not have to make too many guesses as she quickly spotted a woman on the railing cast a killing curse. Surely only the Neo-Alliance side would use an unforgiveable curse.
Peggy quickly raised her wand to cast at the woman (Vesna). "Bombarda!" she aimed at the railing beneath the woman's feet, following up quickly with a knockback jinx aimed at the woman herself. "Flipendo!" |

| Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right. Move move move!! Oakey rushed back retreating on the bridge he attempted to advance on the moment the Neo-Alliance had noticed them. Spells whizzing past him and some being blocked and deflected off Minerva's Shield she threw up. He neared the end of the bridge when one of the followers started bragging about her time in Azkaban then a green light flashed from her. Oakey was in the path between Minerva and the spell. "MIN GET DOWN MOVE AWAY!" He shouted as the Green light instead made contact with his back...
There was a loud shriek a noise he had never heard in his 40 plus years on Earth. Oakey...he was fine...but what? He turned as he reached Minerva and looked to the edge of the bridge where a lifeless Elephant Beetle lay on his back.
NO!!
That beetle had been a part of the family for... only Merlin knew how long. He was Mordy's gift to him back in their days at Hogwarts. An extra lucky charm to help combat the ever growing bad luck Oakey always felt so consumed by. Then he was Mark's. Oakey let his son bring Tank as his pet to school, and he was very proud of how he cared for him. Better than he ever did... better than he ever would.
He quickly and with a mix of anger and sadness tossed his own non-verbal knockback jinx with the woman who seemed familiar at the insane woman who had killed the Gunter's life long pet. |

| Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something... Minerva had only moments to think when she heard Oakey scream about getting down and away. She threw another shield up and hit the ground just to see the green light that was intended for her hit someone that was more like a brother than a friend. She screamed as she thought she was watching Oakey be killed. Of all the things the two of them had been involved in together, the miss luck, even at Hogwarts this was something she could have never ever thought she'd watch her friend die.
As tears hit her eyes she realized he was still moving and she was on her feet with a hand on his arm, "Are you alright?" That's when she realized it was the beetle that took the spell. Bless that creepy adorable creature, but there would be no time for proper words because Oakey was sending spells towards the woman and Minerva was furious. "Go back to Azkaban! Impedimenta!!" She yelled sending the spell towards the followers as well as a disarming spell towards the woman that tried to kill her. She just watched her friend almost die and the emotions that were running through her body were making it hard not to use the killing curse back.

Unthinking and unfeeling, reinforcements for the Neo-Alliance fighters lumber through the castle grounds onto the wooden bridge. The hoard of inferi trample bushes and climb over bounders as if they were grass and pebbles. They make a beeline toward the fray, ready to cause whatever damage they can to the Order of the Phoenix and their allies.
There is no apparent uniformity to the group of animated corpses, the group including both the recently killed Ministry employees Nero Nykto and Milo Jordan and the older decayed corpses of previous victims of the Neo-Alliance. Their one uniting factor now is the Neo-Alliance witch who reanimated each and every one for this very purpose: to fight.
As they make their way onto the bridge, the Inferi reach toward those fighting on the side of the Order of the Phoenix, grabbing and pushing as they go.

Tabatha Krauss Janus Galloglass | (ง'̀-'́)ง books and cleverness | i like you a latte After months of convincing himself that good people outside would come to save the students and staff, Camilo Aguilar was finally proven right.
When he received news that the young students were safe in the spare office with Neva and Norman, he immediately ran to the wooden bridge. They had to stop the growing group of alliance followers from invading the courtyard and entering the castle. He had been an incompetent teacher all year long, so it was now his responsibility to protect the children, or die trying. He was halfway down the bridge, firing spells at the opponents in an attempt to push them back, before he noticed the dead bodies. It took him a second to realise that they were not casualties of this battle, but inferi on the alliance's side. As a few of them made their way toward him, Camilo took a deep shuddering breath and repeatedly conjured jets of flames in the direction of the animated corpses. "Incendio!"

The blonde clenched his already strong jawline and pressed forward.

He quickly removed the antlers from his head as traversing this rickety narrow old thing would be too difficult with those up there.
He started his run over the bridge, but stopped half way when suddenly the appearance of some more Neo-Alliance goons were on the very bridge he was now on with with them. This positioning was awful. His wand trained forward and now pointing directly at a body with some rather fiery red hair atop it. No...no way. Headmistress Bunbury...Truebridge... Why was she so clad in dark robes? What was with all those followers beside her?! "Stop!" He shouted trying to avert their attention his way and away from the castle they were rushing toward. "Stupefy! Stupefy!" Gunter sent two Stunning Spells their way. Trying to hit those following behind the Former Headmistress.
They were headed for the castle same as him, but now he was playing defense. The battle was all around them. Off in the distance there looked like bright flames coming from the direction of the Stone Bridge. What was Truebridge doing?! Why was she with the Neo-Alliance!? Josephina had one mission in mind when she had joined the order, which was to bring back justice and fairness to the wizarding world. What she hadn't expected as she made her way across the grounds, wand out and shield charm up was to come face-to-face with her former boss lady and former hufflepuff peer. "Anastasia. What are you doing?" Josephina said, hoping reason would work with the lady. She'd known Anastasia Bunbury Truebridge for DECADES.
It hadn't failed her gaze to notice her former hufflepuff student, Oakey there as well... and she probably filled up with pride in seeing him sending stunning spells at the alliance members, but her heart definitely stopped when she saw a green light headed towards his backside. Only, it hit his beetle instead???
Running to his side, "Oakey!!! Are you ...." She turned to send a disarming spell and stunning spell at his attacker in revenge, when she felt some creepy corpse hand grabbed at her wand arm twisting it and instead the woman found herself shrieking in pain from the grasp. "Let goooooooo of meeeee" Only she couldn't cast any defense because it had a hold of her arm, pulling her down to the ground. She did vaguely hear incendio cast from two people and hoped it would be enough for the inferi to release her, feeling flashbacks to the time she almost got dementor kissed. The pain and terror was equally as excruciating this time. |

| henlo it's ya boy Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight NEMESIS UPSTEAD: NEO-ALLIANCE The leap from the stone bridge had been fun enough, but not terribly exhilarating, though the way down had certainly been eventful, and the situation at the bottom something of a thrill. Having arrested their momentum just before reaching the point of impact, Nem had been aware of another who'd taken the plunge with them, and who had been slightly less fortunate.
For the record, it wasn't easy to use Mobilicorpus on one's self to get to clear ground, especially while laughing the entire time and avoiding numerous jets of green light in the process. But Nem had managed it, and was still grinning wildly to themselves as they sprinted off over the grounds to jump into another part of the fighting, occasionally rubbing at the cut over their eye, which seemed determined to impede their vision. Nem supposed they were looking pretty battered and scraped up, after all the debris that had been flying. The knuckles of their wand hand were searing with unmistakable burns, too.
But they didn't care.
Time of their life.
Halfway across the grounds, it occurred to Nem that something was about to go down on the wooden bridge. Naturally, they headed that way. Naturally.
The action was already well underway when Nemesis Upstead rejoined the fray. Not from one end of the bridge, or the other, but somewhere in between, clambering over the side of the bridge and all but stumbling directly into a red-haired dinosaur elderly citizen woman, right at the head of the Neo-Alliance column, and some henchwoman or whatever. The climb had been something else, with the throbbing in Nem's hand and the occasional shooting pain in their ankle, but magic had greatly eased the ascent.
Nem took a moment to get their bearings. Neo-Alliance. Then the bunch of do-gooders. Inferi. Oh. Neat. Sort of scuppered the plans for more Fiendfyre, though. Shame, would have been fun on this bridge, made entirely of wood and all. Maybe later.
Turning their wand into the crowd of oncoming Hogwarts defenders, Nem fired past the Inferi and into the adults, non-verbally. Impedimenta! Impedimenta! A tame spell, but they sort of wanted to see what the Inferi would do to them if they were too slow to run or defend. "Nice night for it," they remarked casually to the red-head, as though chaos was not reigning all around them. As though they hadn't just killed someone. As though that someone was not on the side for which they were ostensibly still fighting.

| Ethan McCarthy - order aligned o'course Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent To say that Ethan did not like the fact that Minerva wanted to come fight alongside him was an understatement. He had a feeling that this was going to be a very dangerous situation and he knew that he’d be worried for her safety if she didn’t stay home with thier other children. But he also knew what he felt about their middle child being caught in the midst of this and he could hardly blame her for wanting to rescue him from it all, as well as keep the world a decent place for the rest of their family. He was glad he could convince their oldest children to stay behind however.
And he was glad to see the Gunters there as well - though he could not believe that little Xaria (she was still little to him ok) also wanted to join in the fray. Ethan had been looking for any sign of Morgan as they pushed the resistance back closer to the castle and honestly he thought it a good sign that he hadn’t seen him yet. He knew their middle child was the most impulsive of their brood of five and he didn’t want to see him doing anything reckless or dangerous. He knew he’d feel better after seeing him though, after so many months, and taking him home.
After shielding a few spells directed his way, Ethan caught up to Min and Oakey, just in time to see a flash of green light. “NOOOO!” he yelled, running closer to them, knowing exactly what that spell was and certain that it had hit his friend, but thank Merlin not his wife. But luckily it hadn't hit Oakey either (which was extremely lucky, he had to admit), but his bug? Ethan did not have time to process that before aiming his wand at the woman (Vesna) who tried to kill Minerva. "Stay away from my wife!!" he shouted, the fury burning in his chest. "Stupefy!" Ethan turned to look at Min and Oakey. "Are you alright?" He would never forgive himself if anything happened to her.
Wait, was that -- He stared at a familiar woman who seemed to be leading the opposite side, before looking to Minerva. "Is that Headmistress Truebridge?" He never would have guessed that she was on the side of an extremist cult. "Stupefy! Stupefy!" He sent a few more stunning spells into the crowd of Neo-Alliance members behind her, not yet able to bring himself to cast against her.
Oh... no... Inferi, wasn't it? And they had ahold of Professor Hadley. He... could not focus on two things at once and made the split second decision to stick with his wife and Oakey, defending against the alive people. He was aware of people casting incendio as well, so hopefully that would be enough to stave them off.
And as he held his ground, Ethan noticed another familiar face, this one younger - Nemesis, wasn't it? He knew them to be a friend of his son Morgan, since he'd invited them to a couple birthdays in the past. "Nemesis," he called out to the teenager, concern clearly coloring his voice and not realizing which side they were aligned with. "You shouldn't be out here. It's really dangerous." People were getting injured and killed. Ethan certainly didn't want to see that happen to a child, and... Nemesis really kind of looked worse for the wear. That didn't mean Morgan was also around here somewhere, having the bright idea to get himself involved too, did it?

| Wade Potter (order aligned, naturally) • HuffleStud • Knight of The Zodiac • Manly Beard-Grower • Cicatrice de Harry • Wade made the toughest decision in leaving Indy at home with their youngest, Tierra. But this was personal. Once word came that there was another strike at the school that previously kept him out of contact from Tad and Daisy... now it was Daisy and Darius... No, not again. He can't risk losing another child at Hogwarts without giving his all getting them out of there safely. Not just his kids but everyone else's too.
Wade was here with Ethan and Minnie Mouse when the attacks came flying. Oakey..... he didn't die. Wade sighed in relief. "Everyone, alright?" He did a double-take at the sight of his former Headmistress leading the attack. What? "That can't be right.. do you think she's under Imperius curse?" Who was next? Professor Lafay? But he didn't have to look far to spot Hadley. His former Head of House in front of Inferi.... His worst fear.
Wade's eyes dilated in a brief instance as he eyed the unfortunate victims in the Inferi. Was his mother apart of them? Or.... his Taddy boy? He closed his eyelids, feeling something wet roll down his cheek.
"Protego Maxima!" Wade wordlessly screamed out in his head aiming to form a barrier for them. Wait, why was his arm now moving slower than usual? Who did this? Wade's brows furrowed. There was a traitor among them. But that didn't make sense since everyone was busy... except the kid. Did he? Wade didn't want to believe it. Perhaps this kid had another reason for being in this condition. Just in case though, he began stepping backward formulating a plan whilst Ethan attempted conversing with him. |

Zoryn Amari Chosen. That’s who.
And unlike the others attacking the inferi army with the power of their wands, Zor had other ideas. Namely, the brute force of her unapologetic backswing. That’s right. TIME TO WHACK SOME INFERI TUSHIE. She had experience with the undead, after all. Who knew, Hogwarts really had prepared her with something. ”AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, AY AY AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY,” was her battle cry as she lept forward, joining the two men (Dieter and Camilo) in fighting off the undead army. Pocketing her wand, the beater gripped onto her bat with BOTH hands and began a-swingin’! ”TAKE THAT, YOU GRIMY ZOMBIE LOOKIN’ CABBAGE HEAD!”
This was way better than therapy. Gryffindors, honestly.

| A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself. Kevin Hirase / Order Aligned If the primary task of the hoard of followers had not been to invade the castle, Kevin knew that they all would have died right here , right now. Luckily, only a couple of the bad group stayed behind and the 32 year old man casted a quick shield charm around him to protect himself from incoming spells. It was chaos all around and Kevin was glad to have some reinforcement coming.
Using Peggy’s spells directed towards the evil witch, Kevin used this opportunity to run after the back of the group, wand and shield at the ready as the man was busy firing stunning spells into the backs of the alliance members. So far,he had not even noticed yet who they were lead by. That was until he briefly recognized the face of the woman at the front and for a split second he stopped in his track. Headmistress Truebridge?
SURELY not?
Wasn’t it ironic that SHE out of all people here had told him he had been a DANGER to the school only moments before expelling him and yet here he was, defending the place and its students at all cost. The old him would have charged at the woman in a fiery rage, not caring what would have happened to him. But the new him did not. He had been changed ever since he started working for the Law Enforcement Department over ten years ago. He could control his personal anger now and he wanted to see her arrested, not killed.
An sudden impedimenta casted by a KID (Nemesis) hit his shield charm and Kevin, not wanting to hurt a child flicked his wand and send a non-verbal full body bind at the teenager’s direction.
At the sound of a battle cry that the short young woman yelled , Kevin looked around at the group of inferi getting closer and casted several Incendio’s to help the group.

| Atticus Aldredge - Order aligned Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia Pushing forward, depending on his trusty shield charms and his ability to dodge, determined to get to the castle, Atticus soon found himself at the wooden bridge and the section of the battle being waged there. It was no less chaotic and loud and brutal here, made worse by the horrifying presence of inferi of all things.
Of course the Alliance would stoop to using such creatures, to using people even after they were gone. It made him sick.
But he didn't hesitate to join Camilo, Dieter, and the young woman with a...Beater's bat? in trying to fend them off. Atticus aimed an "Incendio!" at the inferius that had grabbed ahold of his friend Josephina, trying to keep an eye on how close the flames from all the spells were to the wooden bridge itself, as well as keep track of the other Alliance members, though it was certainly difficult managing everything all at once.

"You COWARDS!" Using the dead like that. It spoke to everything evil about them. It boiled the blonde's blood. She sent a Cascading Jinx in the direction of several followers, hoping to take out several in one go.

David O. Truebridge Mysteries | feel free to make up a spell that hits you cast by Bunz, but make sure it's BAD lol Professor Pink | Mrs. Bruce Wayne | I'm on a Goat | Glitterpuff | Dumbledore's Defense Squad | BHB What was she DOING? What WASN'T Anastasia Truebridge doing, honestly?!
The redhaired woman snarled at Gunter, quickly deflecting two of his spells with one strong protego totalum. Josephina received only a scathing look, along with a defodio (harmless) Annie sent her way. "The better question is... why are you on the wrong side?" This was a WAR, woman. A war for the end of the world. Why was Hadley still playing with Muggles? Did she really believe in loyalty and justice? Please.
Anastasia Truebridge had always looked out for customer number one, aka, herself. She would never listen to anyone but herself. And her brain. And rarely, her heart. As she had aged, she had just gotten worse and worse. Now she had somehow managed to convince herself that THIS, what she was doing NOW, was for the greater good. THIS was going to be the new future, with purebloods, like herself, in their rightful place, and everyone else at the bottom.
No one of note was really going to be harmed by these spells, right? Least of all, the worthless, lazy children. She fired off one nonverbal, then another, and another, and another, and shook her head suddenly at the appearance of a child beside her.
What was this, one boy who had seen the light? Who had seen the future and wanted to be part of it? "Nice night indeed," she agreed mildly, eying them, shooting off another spell (this one of the green AK variety), and following up with, "Who are you?"
Had to ask. Couldn't be too careful these days.

| A LOT is happening here @__@ Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right. More reinforcements were here!
And they appeared just in the nick of time. He looked quickly back over to Tank still lifeless on the ground but shook his head quickly. "Min, I'm fine. I'll be okay. We can't let them advance to the courtyard." His eyes moved back to the Old Headmistress. What was she doing?! Why? How had she fallen so far from grace. This was not the same woman who ran Hogwarts in his later half of Hogwarts.
He stood back up also nodding over to Professor Hadley. He wasn't going to die here. No. No he was not. Oakey Gunter was going to see this through. "Ethan?" Good, Oakey trusted Ethan would be great back up. "I'm not sure. Why she's aligned with the enemy? We need to subdue her." Then they can question her. Perhaps determine if she's been mind controlled to do all this against her will. He wiped away some sweat from his forehead and looked to his other side. The woman who had tossed jinxed with him at the crazed female who killed his pet...was that Peggy? And there. Wade, and Ella, Minerva beside him. Alec couldn't be too far if Ella was charging this way. He tossed up a couple of shield spells as more spells were sent their way. A few more allies had shown as well. What had Ella said? A Team reunion. It was more than that. All his classmates from his time and more were converging at the Bridge.
Then the Inferi crawled up and toward them. Oakey hadn't seen Inferi before. Even during his brief stint doing freelance Curse Breaker work most of the tombs he delved into held other traps and dangers. Xaria had spoken about them when she was at School during her first year. Were these the same undead that were from the Black Lake? This situation just got from worse to terrible.
Was that girl (Zoryn) swinging around a beater bat?!..."Use Fire!" There was bravery and then there was...She was going to get herself killed. At least set the Bat on Fire or something.
Where had... No Hadley! She was being overtaken. No, not Mama Badger. Others were tossing flames at the undead but Oakey was right there. If he used any serious jets of flames that close to her it could seriously burn her. Wordlessly Oakey moves his wand and conjured a long thin flame from the tip of his wand. Striking it against the ground then whipping the flames toward the Inferi that were grabbing at his old Arithmancy Professor. She encouraged his career path he was where he is today because she encouraged his love for Curse Breaking. He even taught a few Arithmancy classes at University before settling on Rune Studies.
He jumped out of the way as more killing curses were thrown their way. No more reminiscing mid-battle. He threw up a wordless empowered Shield Spell up once more. In time to deflect what could have potentially severed one of his limbs that had been thrown at him by Headmistress Truebridge. Then he went back to whipping flames at the inferi. |

| Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something... "What the hell are those things?" She was a dance instructor, she owned her own dance studio, this was not in her job qualifications. Minerva was quickly realizing Ethan was right and she probably had no business trying to be a fighter, but she was determined. Her eyes searched around them as she tried to figure out what the hell those things were and why their former headmistress was on the wrong side. Giving Ethan's arm a squeeze she nodded, "I'm fine, just keep your eyes open." She was so worried about her family and how this was going to turn out. Giving Oakey another nod as she said about the courtyard she knew they had to keep moving.
She sent a few nonverbal stunning spells towards the alliance and glanced at Wade and Ella, "You both alright?" Ella's quidditch team comment did get a small laugh even if it was short lived by needing to send another shield up to help. Hearing her former head of house scream she turned and pointed her wand cutting at the Inferi that had ahold of Hadley. Being distracted by helping Hadley she didn't have a chance to get another protective spell up before a spell hit into her and threw her to the ground hitting her head.
Sitting up she felt the blood from the cut that was just made. Feeling a bit confused she tried to scramble back to her feet before anything else could come at her.

Lucille Pembrooke Law Enforcement x5
| Lucille is now Pro-Order (not quoting due to a lot happening) Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when Lucille was determined to find Fiona or at least find out if her beloved cousin was safe. The scene before her was beyond chaotic as she watched the multitude of spells from both sides of the war. She spotted the Inferi and a redheaded woman (Truebridge) that was firing curses aplenty. Aiming her wand at the woman's torso, Lucille yelled, "Avada Kedavra!" She then turned to the group of Neo-Alliance members and fired the curse made famous by former Death Eater Dolohov a few times, hoping to cause severe injury, if not death.
She took a moment to get her mental focus under control before firing a series of fireballs at the undead horde, hoping to ensure only the creatures were hit. |

| Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight NEMESIS UPSTEAD: NEO-ALLIANCE First of all, rude. Nem saw that spell, even if there had been no incantation to hear. Their wand went up again, and they produced a shield charm of their own. With a little extra concentration, they momentarily focused the energy of the shield into one area - where the spell connected - and sent it back towards the caster (Kevin). With their wand still raised, Nem eyed the group closely. McCarthy's parents were two of those who had made it to the fight, but the father's concern was utterly wasted on Nemesis, and not only because he was sorely mistaken in his assessment of the situation. Nem regarded the man for a moment; they had not been oblivious to the possibility that they might encounter the parents or other family members of some of their contemporaries. On either side, actually. Maybe they'd already met some in the other fight. No doubt Jake was around here somewhere too, maybe even Becca. Wouldn't that be an interesting meeting. "Dangerous?" they called back, reaching up with their free hand again to wipe away that slow trickle of blood from above their eye. They stared blankly at McCarthy Senior and his pals, the Inferi between them, while different coloured jets of light from a myriad of spells and no small amount of fire threw their empty features into sharp relief. "It's not that dangerous." The drama, honestly. And as for where they should or should not be, that was all a bit subjective, wasn't it?
But enough chit-chat, at least with the other side. As the Inferi did their thing, and a gasp-could-that-be-a-Gryffindor-wow-shocker-of-shocks tried to fend them off with a bat, Nem watched, glanced towards the woman at their side as she sent off a Killing Curse, and then fixed their eyes on the opposing fighters again as they answered. "Nemesis Upstead. Neo-Alliance. Rosier's favourite student, so they say." Yeah, well. They were probably right. Nem looked at her again. "And you?"
A jet of bright green light caught Nem's attention, and they turned back towards the other group of adults, not waiting to see if the spell connected... and let out a burst of laughter, over as quickly as it had started. "They're going rogue."
For the third time that evening, Nem drew their wand back and whipped it forwards again, sending a lightning bolt spell in the direction of the kill-happy Order sympathiser (Lucille).

Airey Flamsteed Mysteries Diagon Alley Employee:
Zachaël Lufkin Owl Post x12 x12
| antigravity is not in place on the whole bridge but a section. Use if you'd like! astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf AIREY FLAMSTEED | ORDER OF THE PHOENIX ALIGNED
Battling his way through and, admittedly, making a wrong turn somewhere...Airey Flamsteed found himself at the mouth of the wooden after making a hard sprint through the courtyard. He continued to be impressed by the effects Jane's elixir was having on his body, the limberness and fluidity to his joints and limbs that had his brain all variety of confused because it was so unnatural given the ordeal he had been through. Not entirely unscathed, a Severing Charm or a hex of some variety grazing his modestly oversize forehead and left a deep gash in his brow along with debris and a Knockback Jinx leaving him with a black eye, but he was still feeling relatively fit as a fiddle. Enough to continue. Enough to finish what he had started - and Airey hated doing anything in halves or not seeing a project through. Plus...he had to fine Andromeda, Aries, and Atlas.
Sprinting across the rickety wooden bridge towards the spells being thrown this way and that, it was the stench of the inferi that first smacked him like a ton of bricks. "Sweet solstice, that's foul," the man Wand raised, the Mysteries department head prepared to cast against his side's foes...when he picked out familiar faces in the crowd - specifically the one belonging to his very own employee. The memory from the gala was fuzzy and disjointed, his consciousness at the time battling futilely against the Imperius Curse played upon him at the time, but he remembered well enough that it had been Dr. Nykto's disgruntled shouting against him that served as the cause...and now here was the effect. While, logically speaking, he was well aware that while that was physically his former employee...it was not, in fact, really him. It was now the least he could do to...put the man, and the Games and Sports employee who had verbally lashed out at the Minister, to rest and free them from the Neo Alliance's hold.
Having hardly allowed himself the time to look around prior, it was only now that the man's forget-me-not blues searched the dueling faces of the area...so many of his former pupils here............and Headmistress Truebridge herself. Her wild red hair nearly caused him to lose his focus, her mere presence still striking a bit of fear to his core, as his mind raced in the realization that she was striking against those who she had once taught. SHE was aligned with the Neo Alliance. Suddenly all those decades years of being petrified of her felt, well, validated.
Stunned by her presence, he failed to fully process an oncoming curse cast by the woman herself which grazed sharply over his left shoulder and felt as though he had been run through with a spear and the man was flung against the side of the bridge immediately with a howl of agony. On top of the bodily harm...the woman had the audacity to Sectumsempra his suit!
Pushing himself off the side and planting his feet firmly to the ground, Airey's eyes narrowed with conviction as he mustered up his strength and composure. "GRAB AHOLD OF SOMETHING!" he barked, flourishing his wand as his mind jumped to plan B. "DETRAVITAS!"
Unorthodox? Certainly. But only able bodied individuals with minds of their own would be able to hold on to something and prevent themselves from rising into the air with his antigravity charm. And if they did not and were lifted, well, they would still be able of maneuvering their way out of things by grabbing on to the wood and pulling themselves forward or simply casting Finite on themselves. As for the inferi, well, they could be like bugs smushed against the window of a speeding vehicle for the time being - they would easier to manage up there. Or at least those that ventured into the isolated area of his charm and at last part of the pile that had. Also, given the abundance of open air and this particular charm being more suited towards enclosed spaces...he gave the effects of it at best two minutes before the enchantment was severed as the magic evaporated.
Feeling his own feet begin to lift from the ground, the former Astronomy professor reached back and wrapped his GOOD arm around one of the window decors to pull himself back out and away of the antigravity bubble he had created.

| • HuffleStud • Knight of The Zodiac • Manly Beard-Grower • Cicatrice de Harry • Not only did it appear Wade would be putting to use his old defensive skills from school, but coupled with experience of Chaser rolls from Pro-Quidditch days, and chasing rogue Hippogriffs tonight. The fourty-year old man backed away long enough for spell Inpendiment Jinx that hit him earlier to disappear.. but only in time to dive an array of spells. A green one flashed past him near his ear, causing him to nearly gasp in shock. He was safe.. for now.
"I'm good," Wade said to Min, then practically chuckling at Ella's comment. He hoped after all of this they could get some drinks. More were joining the fight on their side which sent hopes up. "I'm sorry," Wade thought privately, before firing a non-verbal Incarcerous at his former Headmistress and then immediately shooting up a Protego Maxima, Fianto Duri, and Repello Inimicum in the vicinity of the former team members.
Then he heard the voice of one of his former Professors, Flamsteed. "What?" Wade asked. Oh he heard, but he didn't know what was going to happen. Grab ahold of something. There was a pillar he could hold onto. Reaching out he felt himself lifting just as his arm tugged around it from behind. Oh great, we're flying. Wade wasn't a stranger to flying but he couldn't stay afloat for long unless he wanted to be a free target to the Alliance. He fought the anti-gravity to press his feet against the pillar before pushing himself to get away back onto the gravity side. |

As for herself, she'd been waiting months for an opportunity to finally show the Neo-Alliance just what she thought of their ideology and methods. She hated them. Muggle, Muggleborn, or pureblood, all had value. Hopefully there would be some Muggleborn wizards here today to show the Neo-Alliance truly what that meant.
As for how she had gotten here, specifically, she had run from the gates, dodging spells and casting some in return. All those years of daily runs were finally paying off, she wasn't even winded.
She was not sure who was on which side here, aside from the obvious felons, she only recognized two people--someone from MLE, and her former headmistress. She started trying to draw conclusions, but did not have to make too many guesses as she quickly spotted a woman on the railing cast a killing curse. Surely only the Neo-Alliance side would use an unforgiveable curse.
Peggy quickly raised her wand to cast at the woman (Vesna). "Bombarda!" she aimed at the railing beneath the woman's feet, following up quickly with a knockback jinx aimed at the woman herself. "Flipendo!" Quote:

Aurora Bagnold: Order aligned Aurora had left for Hogwarts right after she had listened to the Minister’s broadcast. She was immensely glad that her eldest wasn't going to start Hogwarts until September. By then the chaos and all the bad things the Neo-Alliance was responsible for had been stopped and life at Hogwarts was back to normal.
She had battled her way from the Winged boards and over and out onto the wooden bridge. It was hard to know who was friend or foe, but Aurora trusted in her instincts, training, and listening to what shouted around her to know that many were good people. "Confringo!" Aurora casted in the direction of the wicked inferies.
Letting her gaze sweep over the faces in search of her friend Peggy that she had lost sight of in the battle’s scuffle Aurora hadn’t reinforced her shield again which she after getting hit by the former Headmistress Truebridge’s bad jinx regretted forcefully. As she felt the antlers start sprouting out on the sides of her head with force Aurora let out a loud shriek of pain. "Flaming Chimeras! Who did this to me? It hurts, It hurts like mad." crouching down on her knees the blond Creatures department head raised her hands to her head hoping to stop the pain and the antlers from sprouting even more.

| evil lady attack mode (also anti-gravity and decloning) Sardines ♥ BHB ♥ Dallie ♥ Grumpy ♥ MY SUN AND STARS ♥ i love julia Vesna wasn't terribly old, but she was old and skilled enough to dodge the spells that came next with a few good leaps and jumps. It excited her - released endorphins, really. The Bulgarian woman cackled as she landed on her feet and send a purple lightning bolt towards her offender (Peggy) in retaliation. And then another one, just for good measure.
Wait, was that a dead beetle? How disappointing.
Vesna blocked the spells that came from the beetle's owner, sending a curse of a hundred tiny lightning bolts toward him. She had meant to kill him, or the woman behind him, but the damn beetle took the fall instead. And she was taking it personally. "Go back to Azkaban?" Vesna repeated with a mocking laugh. She raised her wand quickly, flicking it back and forth, and blocked the woman's spells from hitting her with ease. "How clever!" She shot a silent stunning spell her way. "Did you come up with that yourself?" harharhar.
Oh good, the zombies had arrived. As the dead crawled over the sides of the bridge, Vesna sneered an evil, twisted grin and started to move backwards, continuing her travel towards the castle. Ugh, but then some BLOKE came in whining about his WIFE. How annoying. You know, this was the reason she had killed her last two husbands. They were ANNOYING. Vesna barked out a laugh as she side-stepped the stunning spell he sent her way. "MAKE ME!" she shouted back, laughing again. COME ON, DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU!
While the inferi raged on, Vesna continued making her way across the bridge, creating a larger gap between the order-aligned and herself, narrowly missing the explosion caused by one of them. "Let's go play with the childreeeennn!" She called out to her "friends" with a shiny, white smile that didn't match the rest of her aura. Vesna started to skip down the bridge, distancing herself from the inferi and the fire and the crazy child with a beater's bat... until she wasn't skipping anymore. She was...... floating???
WHY WAS SHE FLOATING???
It caught her off guard, that was for sure, but only for a moment. She gathered herself quickly and then kicked herself to the edge of the bridge. There, she plucked a tiny twig from her pocket and cast a quick spell on it to enlarge it. Once the twig was enlarged, it was clear to see that it was a broomstick. Vesna mounted the wrangly, scraggly black broomstick and flew in stride of the redheaded woman, the child, and the rest of their group. "I'll see you lot inside!" she called out with an evil grin. And then she blew past them on her broom, flying towards the castle, sending spells to the ground along her way. |

| curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog Tucker Schultz - Order Aligned
Having gone to Beauxbatons for most of his school career, Tucker Schultz wasn't here because he wanted to protect the castle. He hadn't even KNOWN what was going on there until a few days ago when he conveniently came to London to meet up with his step-father, who'd informed him about what had been going on.
No, Tucker was here because his MUM was in there. Knowing her, she was keeping calm and kicking cultist butt on her own - Gabriela Recard was the toughest woman he knew. Still, he wasn't going to just sit back and HOPE everything was alright.
He arrived at the wooden bridge JUST in time to see...Headmistress Truebridge shooting Killing Curses at people!? What had he gotten himself in to?! The man was nearly fourty years old, but he was still limber thanks yoga and dodged the spells as they flew around his head, trying to advance closer and closer to the castle. That was short-lived, however, as his former professor Airey Flamsteed suddenly made the gravity disappear completely, and Tucker was able to grab onto a nearby tree with hardly a second to spare.
As he floated into the air, he spotted a woman growing HORNS out of her head nearby. Horns? Antlers? Whatever, Tucker didn't go to school for Care of Magical Creatures. YIKES. This was truly showing him that anything - literally ANYTHING - could happen here, and he needed to be extra vigilant. "Here! Finite!" he cried, waving his wand while keeping a grip on the tree. Royland Gladin - Order Aligned Despite the fact that Royland didn't want to leave his sister Trinetta at the front gates, he knew she could handle herself. He wondered briefly if Jimmy was there but...he knew for a fact he wasn't. The boy was selfish as all get out, so there was no way he'd be risking his life for a school he had no connection to. They were needed elsewhere, so hand in hand with his wife Hattie, he'd decided to head to the wooden bridge. There was a lot of shouting and commotion coming from the area, so...this seemed as good a place as any. "WHOA!" Royland threw out his arm suddenly stop Hattie as he watched the group of Order supporters literally start FLOATING IN THE AIR. That was ONE way to fight, he supposed. His eyes quickly scanned the air and spotted a number of Inferi floating around as well. As long as they floated in the air like that, they were helpless. "TAKE OUT THE INFERI!" he cried, aiming at one a few feet away from him, waving his wand and wordlessly shooting a fireball right at its ugly zombie FACE!

Hattie Gladin; Order aligned Harriet was going to try her hardest to not get separated from her husband. She knew that would potentially be super hard. They were in the middle of a battle. But she would try her hardest. She wanted to take the castle back from the Neo-alliance, but she also wanted to make sure Royland was okay. She would do anything to protect him. So she clung tight to his hand. She knew she would eventually need to let go, but for ow, she was holding on tight.
The fact that some of the Order members were floating probably would've surprised her. But she was more focused on the inferi, her mind instantly flitting back to her final year at Hogwarts. After that year she hadn't thought that she would have to battle against inferi again. But here she was. The woman cursed, blinking as she looked ahead, luckily Royand's stopped her from getting any closer. Good thing she could count on her husband.
She nodded at his words, having just managed to come around from her shock at seeing the inferi. Waving her wand, she followed her husband in shooting fireballs in the direction of the inferi. Her eyes also landed on the retreating broom of a lady (Vesna) "We need to get to the castle!" She murmured, pointing her out, before finding some more spells at the inferi.
