Re: Moody and Aurors Arrive
Alastor wasn't quite fast enough. Even with his eye sweeping the area, he missed seeing the Death Eater until the spell hit and passed through a shield that faded completely as the searing pain flooded his nerve endings. The force of it dropped him to the ground within seconds, seconds that might have been hours for all he knew.
And then it ended, giving him a bare moment to grab for the shield once more and fire an attack of his own...
...only the shield never came and what should have been a powerful blast was little more than a flash of light and a weak push.
