Who: James Sirius Potter and Victoire Weasley Where: Castle When: Day four, during the attack What: Jamie = Superman Rating/Status: TBD/Closed
The earthquake was supposed to be it. A natural phenomenon - not giant monsters that rose from the earth and tried to destroy them all. But things were only getting worse, and as the temperatures dropped, Kitty grew more and more fussy, refusing to eat or sleep. Not wanting to disturb the injured and sick, Victoire sought refuge in an empty room, bringing enough blankets to create a sort of mini-nest.
It was there where, as she tried to coax Kitty to drink her formula, the very foundation of the castle seemed to shake. It all happened faster than she could process - one moment the ground was shaking again, and the next, monsters attacked.
She didn't know what to do. Outside, something crashed through the castle, and she heard others shout. Scrambling to the doorway, she poked her head out long enough to see something hideous and huge crashing through the stone as if it were nothing.
Her blood ran cold. The hallway was her only way out, but if she went that way, she would be directly in their path, and she couldn't risk it. Not with Kitty there.
Clutching her wand, she backed into a corner, clinging to a shrieking Kitty. "Shh, shh," she murmured, trying to rock her and get her to settle down. They might have a chance if they stayed quiet, but with her screaming like that --
A stone wall fell, revealing another hideous creature. Shrieking, Victoire cast a shielding spell and clutched a crying Kitty. "Help!" she cried. "Help!"
