She gave him a mock salute, but turned her attention away as two 'soldiers' (as she didn't know what else to call the uniformed persons) stormed her from her left. She swiveled further left to evade a spell cast her way and used her knee to knock the air out of the second attacker. The first re-aimed his wand at her, just in time for her to grab the second by the arm and drop backwards, flipping him over her to land in a heap near a group of screaming people.
Lying on the floor, she rolled to the right to avoid a spell, then to the left, this time getting sliced along her calf for her troubles. Ignoring the pain as she'd been trained to do, she flipped up onto her feet and shot a blasting hex at the soldier's feet. Just as he went flying, she felt a pair of arms encircling her neck, and not in any sort of amorous gesture either.
It seems soldier #2 wasn't out for the count after all.
