Halloween Ball [Event] [Open]

[Yellow Bosque-Verde]

Yellow was almost uncontrollable with how much she was trembling and was surprised to find she had somehow gotten on the floor when the blue light of the strange cat penetrated the darkness. She looked up at Professor Katsuragi in awe as the professor seemed to have made the cat, and then she realized that she wasn't sad anymore....or particularly cold either. The sadness was still there, she knew it wasn't gone, but it had been pushed away from the forefront of her mind and the worst of the cold was being kept at bay.

[Doyle Blackwell]

Doyle picked up his broom and made his way over to where Violet and Fenris stood. He didn't know them, but he did know they were still too young to have learned the Patronus Charm, whereas the group of Anri and Shion would. Pointing his wand at the dementor headed their way, he thought of his nephew as he shouted "Expecto Patronum!" A kite emerged from the silvery mist that floated out of his wand, and the bird flew over to the dementor, in between it and the two teens.

[Anri Sonohara]

Scrambling for a happy memory, 'Shion' thought of the time their trio had attempted to carve a pumpkin. Encouraged by the memory, she lifted her wand. "Expecto Patronum!" A bright white creature formed from light zoomed out of the tip of her wand, making a beeline for the approaching group of dementors.

[Shion Sonozaki]

'Anri's' eyes narrowed at the creature approaching them, and she backed up, trying to block her friends. When 'Shion' told her what to do, she gave a curt nod, and waved her wand. At first, she had a bit of trouble thinking of a happy memory; she tried to think of Satoshi, but then she saw Anri and Masaomi. "Expecto Patronum!!" she cried, her memory fully alive. A serpentine dragon burst from her wand, and weaved its way towards the looming dementor.

[Clow Reed]

Mimiko's cat herded the small group of Dementors away, but one slipped past it and continued approaching the woman and the two first years.

The silvery kite produced by Doyle, however, had seemed to take up a more defensive approach and separated Fenris, Violet, and the teacher from the circling creatures. The Dementors were unable to come closer, but they also didn't leave.

Anri and Shion's patronuses each took out a Dementor as they dashed past, leaving only three advancing towards the girls and their dates.

[Fionna White]

"Woah!!" Fionna cried, shocked by the dementors. She knew they were bad guys, and she had always been good at beating up bad guys!! But she didn't have her wand... Oh well, improv! She leapt into action, without thinking about it, like always, taking off her tiara and flinging it across the floor. She ran at one of the creatures, her fist raised. "Let's go, big guy!"

[Mimiko Katsuragi]

Mimiko called her Patronus back to her, angling it toward the last dementor. No way was she going to let them harm her first years.

[Isabela Rivaini]

Isabela rolled her eyes as her friend ran forward. Hadn't she noticed the fact that people got WEAK when they went near dementors? Come to think of it, did the girl even know what they were?! Isabela only knew from the stories the upperclassmen Slytherin boys had tried to scare her with when she was merely a first year...

"No Fionna! You can't run TOWARDS a dementor!" She yelled, rushing after her friend.

You know, typical Isabela, doing exactly what she'd just warned someone NOT to do.

[Anri Sonohara]

Flicking her wand, 'Shion' directed her patronus, a snowy white kitten, to assault the remaining dementors. Her patronus began running circles around them to prevent them from getting any closer.

[Masaomi Kida]

Masaomi remained resolutely stationary, unable to tear his eyes away from the dementors. He saw his friends working along with other students and staff members working to dispel them, but the information didn't process in his mind. The only thing he felt was an overwhelming sense of dread, and an all too familiar sense of fear.

[Doyle Blackwell]

Doyle glanced back at the two students he was protecting, keeping his Patronus up as a shield. "Did you two see how I cast that spell? Do you think you could copy it? You have to think of a happy thought, the happiest memory you have. That's what allows you to create a Patronus shield or form and the dementors then feed off that instead of you. So can you try it?" He wanted to send his Kite around to attack the dementors but couldn't do it if the kids weren't protected.

[Shion Sonozaki]

'Anri' glanced back at her friends as the dementor vanished, and saw that Masaomi was frozen. With a sigh, she looked at 'Shion'. "We have to save everyone, Anri-chan!" She ran towards the remaining dementors, calling out for her patronus again. The dragon burst out again in a brilliant light, and headed for the dementor that 'Shion's' was at.

[Rita Mordio]

Rita, having finished eating, had been on her way back to the Slytherin common rooms. She was glad that no one had decided to stop her at the dance, though maybe if she was being honest with herself she may have been just a tad dissapointed. She sighed and relaxed a bit, greatful for the silent environment the ball had provided her with in the other areas of the school. Though, as she followed the torch lights on the walls back down to the dungeons, she suppressed a feeling that something wasn't right.

[Anri Sonohara]

Nodding quickly at 'Anri', 'Shion' pointed her wand in the direction of Fionna and Isabela. "Expecto Patronum!" The kitten launched into the air, landing between a dementor and Fionna.

[Fenris Candor]

Fenris jumped forward. "Of course!" He thought of Amitola, the way her hair hung gracefully over her shoulder, and the way she was such a terror of a Gryffindor....

"Expecto Patronum!" He yelled, sending all the power of his memory behind the spell. And.... Nothing happened.
