Where: on the street and in the Library
Rating: PG-13 for language ... to start
Status: Active

Logan was heading out to patrol after the sun went down. He cracked his neck and looked around, sniffing for any Weevils. Fuckers had gotten brave last night ... no telling if they'd do it again tonight. In looking around, he noticed something in the sky, and stopped to get a better look.

The hell? Looked like some wierd-ass skull and ... a snake? Made out of clouds? The hell? He sighed and rolled his eyes. No doubt this was some shit dreamed up by their 'keepers'. He shrugged, shook his head, and started to cross the street towards the carnival.

In her current state, with terror filled eyes, Luna easily was directed inside the library. Entirely silent, and moving nearly robotically, she was far from her usual self. Even while her view of the Dark Mark was blocked, she still felt compelled to look in that direction.

Still, one of her hands reached out to the arm that Logan had outstretched, another tangible sensation to ground herself. A Healer had advised her to find something to anchor her mind as much as possible in the present reality, rather than being swept back in time to memories she would rather not carry. This was not the first time she had been dragged back into the past, and the first had been a night long ago when she had helped Harry sneak into the Ravenclaw tower. The first time she had Stunned someone in battle.

On wooden limbs, she moved, only half in the current moment.

Tonks took another look around, peeking out into the darkness. Well, it wasn't entirely dark. There was the eerie glow from the symbol up above. She clenched her jaw tightly, wishing for nothing else but her wand and chance to go after the people who marred the sky with that.

But she was defenseless, and begrudgingly reminded herself of that. None of the Death Eaters could conjure that without their wand. Which put her in a predicament. Better to stay in, logically. Even if she hated the idea of hiding.

She followed into the library quickly, closing the door and looking for something to prop against it.

"C'mon, doll." Logan said, steering Luna into the library, towards the corner where he'd set himself up a place to sleep. He was mildly surprised when Tonks followed them in, one eyebrow going up. She'd seemed all ready to go kick ass a minute ago.

"Take a seat. I'll get a fire going." Ok, so some people would think it was heretical to use books as kindling, but shit. The ones Logan used weren't readable anyway. They'd been exposed to the weather too long, and were falling apart, or moldy, or some such.

"So." He said while he was getting the fire going. "What, exactly, does that thing mean, and who might be coming after us?" He needed to know what he was dealing with here.

Doing as directed, the (chronologically) younger witch sat down in the large nest of blankets, pulling her knees up to her chest to wrap her arms around them. Getting into as small a target as possible, it was harder to attack a small target, even with magic the smaller the target, the worse the accuracy.

Madam Pince would be going absolutely nutters right then, Luna thought a bit wildly. Wildly for Luna, even. To see books destroyed for a fire, it would have been the uttermost act of sacrilege one could perform. Then again, the librarian had had a habit of hexing students book bags to chase them out of the library when she felt that they had been abusing library privileges.

"The Dark Mark," the blonde supplied, tucking herself that much tighter into her upright ball. "Boasts of death, of torturous pain delivered with savage joy."

	Logan grimaced. Whoever was behind the cloud show, they'd /really/ messed with Luna. "Right. So, really, really bad news." He glanced over at Tonks, hoping for something a bit more specific than 'we're in trouble'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She had been ready to kick ass, but logic also kicked in. It was difficult to kick ass without a weapon that matched your opponents.

Still, Tonks hated running away like that. So she was shaking a hand irritatedly through her hair while Logan spoke about a fire. "Remus would cry.." Muttered absently. About the books.

She shook herself out of self-chastising thoughts and took a breath. Then started pacing. "Luna and I are witches. That mark," Pointed outside, "Is the sign of bad wizards and witches. Real bad. They've gotta have wands in order to make that mark. I don't have my wand." Hence her not kicking ass and taking names. Which she really wanted to do.

Luna kept silent, the only magic at her disposal was in the summoning of a golden bubble that cheered her minutely. Unfortunately, and this was why it did not occur to her just then, she required some sort of mental stillness. A kind that she could not, in that moment, summon. The bubble would have done little good, in any case, but that was not the point.

Defensive hexes, shields, disarming spells, they all required the most important thing this place did not have. Wands.
