'BANG.'
A wall explodes.
'CRASH.'
A body flies through the air and hits a packing crate.
'WALLOP.'
A person hits the deck, hit by a stunning spell.
It was all out war. The Order were fighting and dying for the light.
Tonight Gideon and Fabian Prewett are in the thick of things, fighting side by side.
They'd tracked Mulciber and Nott to an empty warehouse on the other side of Diagon Alley. They were wondering what they could have possibly been up to and followed them. Little had they realised that they knew they were being watched and led the two red headed twins into an ambush.
Gideon the slightly older twin, curses that they've been led astray into a trap and uses some very choice curse words.
"Gid, I've always been jealous of the way you verbalize," said Fabian with a grin.
"Shut up Fab, you do realise this is a trap right?" asked Gideon.
"Of course, just trying to diffuse the the tension for a moment," said Fabian frowning.
"We're probably about to die and he says he's trying to diffuse the tension?!" Gideon mutters to himself making his twin grin.
A spell is finally fired off causing both twins to duck quickly and pull their wands out and fire off hexes and jinxes in quick succession. Gideon hits Nott and sends him flying. Now it's two on one. But Mulciber is quick and deadly and the fight becomes more intense. It's not long before more Death Eaters arrive and the twins find themselves out numbered. It's seven on two. Both boys are hiding behind a stack of packing crates at present. Gideon digs around in his back pocket for a small mirror, he looks at it and sees his own grubby reflection before he whispers the name 'Dumbledore.' Meanwhile Fabian is sending stunning spell after stunning spell at the Death Eaters, whilst his twin sends for help.
Finally five more members of the light arrive within moments to help the twins. Now the numbers are even. James, Lily, Alice, Frank and Marlene take on Dolohov, Avery, Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle while Gideon and Fabian take on the two that led them into this mess in the first place. Soon the air is full of dust and debris. The air crackles with the amount of spells being thrown around.
Finally it comes down to Gideon and Mulciber. The others are down and wounded, possibly dead for all he knows. Except Fabian, he would know if his twin was dead, he would feel it in his heart. He knew that together from the cradle to the grave they would always be together.
The duel between them is becoming more intensified. The harder Mulciber fights, the harder Gideon fights back, till finally the elder Prewett twin disarms and stuns the man he's duelling with. It at that moment that it's all over. The light have won this time. But it was a close call like every time.
