Characters: Lavender Brown, Michael Corner & Ernie Macmillan
Setting: Lavender's flat, 10 November 2003, 12:38pm
Rating: PG for language and freak outs
Summary: Breaking Lavender 'Nutter' Brown out of her own 'safe room'.

Michael Corner probably looked the complete loon, standing outside Lavender's door scribbling in his journal furiously. He felt the complete fool, talking to someone who was not but a few metres away from him but yet out of his reach thanks to magic and a few walls and whatever weird set-up Lavender had constructed for herself. Why was she so sodding paranoid? He was getting tired of waiting and he was about to toss the book and start working on these wards, sod Lavender and her safe room.

But then he saw Ernie's handwriting appear. He said he was bringing Hit Wizards, thank Merlin! Michael was a brilliant wizard, don't get him wrong, but one wizard would take quite a long time to break into that flat and he would be glad of the help as it would speed up the process completely. So he stood there waiting impatiently for Ernie and his team of Hit Wizards to arrive though he didn't quite expect their arrival to be so...eventful, to say the least.

Ern hesitated for a moment, but quickly noted the more rational Michael coming through once more. "We'll have to write up a few reports back at the Ministry, but assuming that her health is alright after that it's up to her as to where she goes."

He smiled for a moment. "You're not particularly skilled at name-calling, but I'm glad that you can cool off quickly enough. I didn't want to have to leave you here in this state since it has its own risks." He removed the spell. "Now stand back, and promise me that you'll leave if I tell you--or if this becomes messy."

Ern was inspecting the work that had been done so far, to secure the perimeter. The tension was palpable. It was normal since they could be facing anything in there... He pulled out a tiny communication device from his uniform.

Michael didn't want to have to deal with Ministry official bullshite and reports and all that. Damn the Ministry and their reports. "Alright fine," he replied, still annoyed.

When he felt the spell lift he jumped to his feet almost instantly, cursing under his breath. "Merlin, finally!" Michael rolled his shoulders and moved his arms around like he'd been lying in a particularly uncomfortable position for too long. "You try being held against your will by one of your supposed mates while someone you care about is trapped inside her own flat whilst some nutter might be after her and tell me the brilliant names you come up with, Ernie!" Michael looked a bit frazzled, but he wasn't screaming like before, just frustrated still. He didn't like being told to stand back and do nothing when he was the one who had been supporting and helping Lavender the most since seventh year—when she let him at least. Although sometimes he didn't even care if she wanted him to or not, he'd do it anyway.

He grumbled and picked up his journal that had fallen to the floor when the Hit Wizard put him in the body bind. "Fine, but you have someone tell me what's going on or you get your arse back out here and tell me yourself, yeah? If you expect me to stand aside and not get involved, you best tell me what's happening inside. I wasn't the first one here so that you could come along and just shoo me away, thanks. And you might have training, but you haven't any in Lavender Brown, I can tell you that much. So if you expect to get anywhere with her once you reach her 'safe room' you might want to bring me in on that part, mate. She's not going to come out for you." Michael chuckled a little to himself, because it would even be difficult for him to get her out of there. Fat lot of luck they would have trying to get her to come out, especially crashing and banging their way into her flat.

For someone who was being told to leave immediately and wanted their loved one saved, Michael had a lot to say, Ern thought as he briskly checked everyone's position once more. Those positioned outside were ready as well as those in the hallway. They awaited their word.

"So she's in a safe room," Ernie affirmed the information that he needed. "We'll deal with it as it happens. Just let me do my job," he said quite plainly, letting Michael talk himself out without paying that much attention. Right now we'll just need to focus on capturing Zurlo and ensuring that Lavender's life isn't in immediate danger--not to pander anyone's bruised ego. "In on three," he said into the communication device before counting it out.

Sounds of the door finally being kicked open, as were spells directed to make entrances where they saw fit (of course, surveying for bookshelves, other walls or other things blocking the way had been completed)--occured on cue. They were rather quick and good at their work, which was something Ernie was rather proud of.

Of course that didn't quite go without a bit of destruction, but the Ministry will send its restoration crew once the operation was complete. The team broke off into smaller teams, wands at the ready, and immediately had taken to search out the fireplace, bed room and apartment.
