Where: Somewhere outside of Leeds
When: Tuesday afternoon
Rating: Some swearing with a touch of violence
The day had been rather boring and uneventful, until the Patronus had arrived. Ron and Harry had spent the morning tagging along with the group overseeing the transfer of prisoners from Azkaban to their new location, one that was being kept secret for as long as the Ministry could manage.
But with late afternoon came the Patronus, belonging to their missing Auror. There was no doubt in anyone's mind that this was a trap. They'd already found her wand at her home, after all.
But it was a lead, the first genuine lead they'd had, and so they'd gathered a group to go to the address given them by the Patronus, with two clear goals; find the Auror if she was even there, and try to capture as many Death Eaters as possible, if they were there.
Ron and Harry had been amidst the group chosen to go, and Ron turned to Harry before they left, "Wonder if they're planning on massacring us there, or this is merely a diversion?"

Harry knew most guys in the DMLE weren't keen to sign up for guard duty at the new prison after what happened at the last one, but he didn't think he'd mind it too much. If the Death Eaters planned to come back - which he doubted, since they got what they came for - then he was game for whatever they wanted to throw at him.
He hadn't been assigned for that yet though, instead he and Ron had been assigned to a lead on their missing Auror. None of them were sure what they were going to find, if anything, but it was more than they'd had to go on in the last few days at least.
"Could be both," Harry answered with a grin. "Maybe massacring us is the diversion."

Fifteen minutes later spells were flying everywhere, between Aurors and hooded, masked Death Eaters. Bunch a cowards, the lot of them, Ron thought. Not bothering to show their faces.
Their Auror had been left in the open as bait, and secured, and Ron had to question whether or not the Death Eaters had given them any credit, because they had been prepared for as much, and were more than holding their own. The Death Eaters started leaving, or running and Ron chased after one, breaking orders.
He didn't care, and was barely thinking, other than he wanted something to show for the day, and so he ran.
The Death Eater turned around and faced him, shouting something just as Ron cast the first binding spell he could think of, ropes flying from his wand. He saw that the spell coming at him wasn't accompanied by a green flash, but that was all he saw, as the entire world seemed to go black instantly.

Harry still didn't know if it was a planned massacre or a diversion, but they'd been right in it being a trap. The 'bait' was even more obvious than he'd first given them credit for and he wondered how dumb the new lot of Death Eaters really thought they were.
The sides were evenly matched and Harry hadn't seen anyone even go down yet. He guessed that was a good thing for the Aurors, less encouraging when it came to the Death Eaters. Casting Stupefy as one of the hooded lot leapt out of the way, he realised most of the Death Eaters were now retreating.
They were given orders to stand down and Harry looked around for Ron, but he'd ignored their leader and had run off after one hooded figures. Great time to play hero.
"Fucking hell Ron you stupid git," he shouted across the grassy area, but either his partner didn't hear him or chose to ignore him. Harry thought both options were as bad as each other. There was a flash of colour before both Ron and the Death Eater he was chasing went down, Harry could hear half the team swearing, the other half congratulating themselves on taking one down.
The first guy that got to Ron yelled back that he was ok, just out cold and banged up. Harry was relieved at that, but didn't get too excited that his partner would live to fight another day. Hermione could still kill him yet.
