Mimiko managed to banish the few dementors who had been menacing her, and they took to the air, visible only as swirling dark silhouettes against the starry enchanted ceiling.
The dementors who had been held back by Anri's kitten rushed forward the moment she redirected it, almost near enough to the students to touch. The closer they got, the more the temperature dropped, and the more a numbing fear slipped into the students' minds. Soon the more traumatized of the students would begin to experience flashbacks...
((Mod Note: Hey, just a request; if possible, please don't post more than once per character between mod posts in this particular thread. It'll make it much easier to keep track of who's done what and how to react. Also, replies are a bit slow from this end merely because I'm trying to give everyone a chance to jump in. Thanks!))

Violet watched Fenris fail. She took a deep breath and concentrated on the happiest moment she had. Whirling around the room in a dance with Fenris, staring into his eyes. The first time she cast the spell, only a wisp trailed forth, but on her second try, an incorporeal form burst forth, putting a shield up in front of herself and Fenris.

Doyle looked back to see the shield Violet had cast. He hoped it would be strong enough to protect them because he needed to get rid of this dementor and then go and help the group of students who had three dementors closing in on them. He flicked his wand and the kite flew toward the dementor it had previously been warding off.

Fenris blinked at Violet. How had SHE managed to get a Patronus on only her second try? He'd already tried thrice during that time, and still hadn't managed even a whisp. Maybe... Maybe it was the memory he was using....
His eyes flitted to Violet. Maybe... That was the answer. He concentrated on the memory of his dance with Violet. The pride he'd felt, as well as the strange new feeling floating around in his stomach. "Expecto Patronum!" He yelled, and suddenly an incorporeal Patronus burst from HIS wand. He blinked as he and Violet were now fully surrrounded by Patronus light. "I did IT!"

Realizing what was happening, 'Shion' shouted out to Fionna and Isabela. "Use Expecto Patronum!" Using her patronus to push the dementor further back so that Fionna and Isabela would have more time to cast the spell, 'Shion' focused back on the much larger, and much nearer group approaching she herself. Taking a deep breath, she got ready to redirect her patronus back to the dementors attacking her as soon as Fionna and Isabela got things under control on their end. For now, she would have to hope that 'Anri' would be able to hold this group off.

Fionna didn't hear Isabela, or anyone else for that matter, for as soon as she got closer to the dementor, she froze. Fear overcame her, and she collapsed to her knees, eyes wide. She was weak, her body completely drained of her normal exuberance. She thought back to when she was an infant, being cold and alone... Her mother abandoning her... She had no one then. And she felt as if she had no one now. Tears began to flow down her cheeks, but she made no move to wipe them, for she was practically paralyzed.

Throughout the commotion, Gumball had been backed to the wall by the dueling students and teachers, his eyes wide. He tried to shake himself out of it; he was a prefect, an older student! He should be protecting his younger classmates! But he couldn't break the dementor's hold on him. Through his mind flashed images and memories -- laughter and cold hands and save me. He dug his fingers into the stone of the wall behind him, trying to dispel the thoughts...
((EDIT: LOL Fionna I think we're psychically connected for posting at the same time XD))

Isabela sighed, caught between Gumball and Fionna. Was ANYONE going to be useful? She pulled out her wand, concentrating on her happiest memory: getting her letter from Hogwarts. "Expecto Patronum!" She ran forward with an incorporeal Patronus and shielding Fionna. "Get up! We have to save Gumball!"

Seeing that Isabela had cast a Patronus, 'Shion' brought her own back to the large crowd of dementors in the center, circling them once more.

'Anri' watched her patronus for a moment, before she spotted the two girls running towards a dementor. Both her friends. Gasping, she redirected her patronus there, but that's when she heard Isabela..
"-save Gumball!!"
"Gumball?" Her eyes moved around the room, and she couldn't see him. Fionna fell, and 'Anri' knew that she needed help as well. "Damn these things! Damn them!" she snarled. She peeked over her shoulder at Masaomi. "Masaomi, move!! Help us!!"

Around Fenris, Violet, and Mimiko there was clear halo of safety as their patronuses -- two hazy shields and one sharp-edged bird -- protected the three.
But as for the dementors, there were still more of the vile creatures drifting through the doorway, and the ceiling was thick with them, lurking above their heads. One rushed Isabela, ducking around her patronus and heading straight for her. The air was filled with a feeling of infectious panic, and even more dangerously, a deep numbing sadness.
The battlelines between the wizards seethed and shook as the Dementors forced themselves forward but were countered as more and more voices took up the cry of the incantation.

Isabela flattened herself on top of Fionna, hoping that her simple motion would sheild the girl from the already painful emotions the other girl was experiencing. She felt her head swim as the creature got closer, and she was close to passing out.
She remembered a crewmate.... A man whom Isabela had been quite close to... And the day he had been drowned by a rival ship, as a lesson to her father.
Tears brimmed in her eyes and she stared down at Fionna. "Don't... move...."

Seeing that Fenris and Violet were protected, Doyle looked around the hall to see where he was needed next. And that would be Isabela. Hopping onto his broom, Doyle raced over the heads of the students to reach her faster, his kite racing along beside him. Once there, he sent the kite flying straight at the charging dementor.

Fenris turned to Violet, still concentrating hard on the spell, but able to expend a bit of energy to turn to her. "Violet... I thought of you!" He felt that, in case the creatures DID overpower them and he died, she should know that.

(( OLAWD GUMBALL. I told you: I won't let anything in this world keep us apart. So we HAVE to be connected psychically :x ))
Fionna couldn't move, she was in a hold. Had she brought her wand, this ordeal would be over, but she didn't think she would have needed it. Boy was she wrong. No, she was lost for now, deep in the memories of her first few days of life. Even as Isabela fell on her, she didn't seem to feel it. She was too far gone.
