DMLE Shenanigans
Who: Any DMLE employee
What: Stealth training aka hide and seek
Where: DMLE training room (think something like the Room of Requirement mixed with the X-Men Danger Room)
When: Saturday, Oct 25, afternoon
Rating: SFW, but maybe language?

Once every few months the heads of the various DMLE departments got together to devise a training scenario that would have members of the Aurors, Hit Wizards and Magical Law Enforcement Patrol working together. Anyone not on active duty, or in the midst of a case, would be called into the Ministry and assigned to one of three teams (teams are comprised of people from each of the three departments).

The object of the day? Capture the flags, using any means necessary (within reason). The room is equipped with different sorts of hexes, dangerous magical creatures, etc. and the teams also have to compete against each other For The Win. There are seven flags in play, and team who captures the most by the end of the exercise (let's say it's capped at 5 hours) wins and gets the Trophy until the next Inter-Departmental ~~Fun Day~~ Training Exercise.

To make this easier on us OOC, let's not worry about any sort of posting order. Feel free to start your own subthreads. I didn't assign characters to teams, but I think we can puzzle it out anyway?

When the frogs dispersed back into smoke again, Lavender was both relieved and apprehensive to see what would happen next. Then, she settled decisively on apprehensive as it formed into granite-like figures.

She made a quick decision, which was maybe not the smartest one in the world, and left her left her post at the base of the stairs. As soon as she set foot on them, her Disillusionment Charm was stripped away, though it took her another step to notice. Damn. Now she and Hyperion were easy targets. "Bollocks."

One of the sentinels swivelled to face her, somehow staring her down even without a proper face. A purple streak of a spell hit the stone banister about a foot in front of her; Lavender was almost offended by the sloppy aiming of whichever of their opponents was trying to take them out. She crouched down low to make herself less of a target. Another of the sentinels turned turned in her direction, the first shifting back to face Hyperion. Lavender frowned. "I think they might be confused that there's two of us."

Harry had been sneaking about under his cloak, though he didn't intend to use it the whole time. Mostly because one of the teams was stacked with his closest friends, and they'd know all his tricks. He was going to have to think outside the box if he didn't want them to guess his every move.

After taking in some recon, he looked around for the other members of his team and spotted Lavender and Hyperion at the top of the stairs, facing down...well, Harry wasn't sure what they were but he didn't like the look of them. They seemed confused though, and he could use that to his advantage.

He crept up the stairs, then cast de-animation charms on the sentinels. They froze, returning to their lifeless natural state. He swept off the robe and shoved it in his pocket, grinning at the other two. "All right, Ron's team is planning something--probably to do with me, but I couldn't get a read on the other team. I can act as decoy, while you two go after the flags."

"I was wondering when you were going to show up." Lavender didn't lower her wand, instead keeping an eye out for whoever had tried to hex her before; they might not be so unlucky with their next spell. "And we totally had that, by the way," she added. She spared a glance at the sentinels, not trusting them to stay still for long.

"You're sure? Okay. Remember to try and take out Susan if you get a chance, yeah?"

He grinned cheekily at her. "Someone had to do recon," he said, and mapped out what he'd found out about the other teams. "And I know you did, but it was just too good an opportunity to miss. Don't you know by now that I like my dramatic entrances?"

Harry was feeling a bit high from the adrenaline that always came with these sorts of exercises, and since he was around friends he didn't mind poking fun at himself.

"Okay, but remember to protect me when she comes for revenge, yeah?" He wasn't ashamed to admit that he dreaded the idea of Susan being out for revenge. He'd seen it before, but had never been on the receiving end of it.

Hyperion - narrowing his eyes warily at the sentinals - made his way quickly down the stairs, rolling into position next to Lavender in an impressive if utterly unecessary show of athetlicism. "So what did your recon actually discover then," he asked with a quirked eyebrow.

He looked from one to the other than shook his head resolutely. "I'm totally not going after Susan. She's a Hufflepuff: she knows where to hide the bodies," he deadpanned, before breaking out into a grin. "What are you going to do for us to make it worth sticking our necks out eh Potter," he asked, looking him up and down suggestively. "Dress up in women's clothing?"

"Team Bones, aka Team Betrayers, are locked up tight and I didn't get much, but Bode's team are planning an ambush. They're going to sneak up from the South, and take the flag in the East corner. I don't think they've thought much past that."

Harry nodded in agreement, Hyperion was a smart bloke. He did his best to ignore the way Hyperion eyed him, knowing that it was just a joke. He'd pretty much gotten over his crush on the older Auror these days, because it wasn't a good idea to mix work and pleasure. "I'm pretty sure that would only cause everyone to laugh at me. I wouldn't make a pretty woman."

Lavender raised her eyebrows at Hyperion as if to say, Can you maybe flirt later? She knew all too well what it was like to be on the receiving end of one of those looks of his. The Ministry ought to class it as a dangerous weapon.

"You wouldn't need to be pretty, just distracting," Lavender teased Harry. "You just go cause mayhem, maybe disrupt Bode's team? And I suppose I'm going to have to take on Susan if it comes to it, aren't I?" She shook her head ruefully. "Never send a wizard to do a witch's job."

Hyperion returned Lavender's look with one that clearly said Oh come on, let me mess with him a little! After a moment however he acquiesced and focused back on the conversation.

"You'd be perfectly pretty in drag," Hyperion disagreed with an emphatic nod. "But Lav's right, you just need to distract them long enough to-" he jumped back in time to miss a crudely aimed curse. He looked over to see Wendell grimacing from a spot half way down the opposite side of the room. Hyperion snorted contemptuously and flung a stunner at the man, send him toppling over. "Sorry," he said, turning back to his teammates. "Yes, you're going to have to take Susan, she'd kill anyone else."

	Harry pulled on his cloak again, mostly to hide the blush that refused to disappear. It was preferable being invisible if he was going to be such an idiot over things. "Good thing I'm good at distractions," he said, and went to do just that. (Reply to this) (Parent)
