Lionesses of Gryffindor
Parvati Patil
Parvati was flamboyant. Loud. Girly. Proud. Easily the one in Gryffindor that stood out the most amongst her classmates look-wise. The only other person darker than her was Angelina Johnson but she graduated ages ago. Pravati had this way about her that dragged everyone's eyes to her. To her only. When she was young she found it unnerving, into her teenage years she loved every moment of the spotlight. When the War came to Hogwarts she wanted to blend into the background.
However her looks, her bright proud nature immediately attracted every Death Eater in the castle. Engrossed by her exotic looks and the fire that burned brightly they followed her, watching her every move. Being a leader in the Gryffindor House and seasoned DA member this was hardly was Parvati needed. But Neville saw the advantage. Neville the Lion of the Gryffindor Pride found a use for one of his own to help rather than hurt.
She was going to be bait.
So Parvati began. She had Death Eaters following her everywhere, she led them into traps where she would also get caught to not raise suspicion. She wheedled information from them, attended their little parties and began to get to know each and every single one.
Runwood was really a half-blood who has a deathly fear of mice. He liked to drink heavily before his patrol shifts.
Carmmon was blind in his right eye and he has slow reflexes on that side.
Melbourn was born with a gimpy leg that was unable to be healed with potions, he couldn't run.
The list of what Parvati had found out went on and on. Slowly each Death Eater was brought down. Runwood found mice littering his rooms. Carmmon was cursed from the right sides. Melbourn was attacked on patrol by threstals (of Luna's design of course).
Parvati was a wellspring of information, a deliverer of news and data. Patrol times, timetable, weaknesses, dates that Death Eater parties came along, locks, code, spells and potions. Parvati was Lioness in the Snake Nest, she crawled low and bit slowly at each one slowly consuming the nest. When the Battle Of Hogwarts came, the Death Eaters thinking her to be with them despite the whole half-blood and Gryffindor business flocked to her. Her plan worked and they were mowed down by the members of the DA.
One Death Eater screamed at her why she had betrayed them, their little kitten as they'd taken to calling her, had betrayed her allegiance. Parvati smiled as she raised her wand and said, 'Only cowards whisper and hiss, I roar now listen to our thunder.' She watched as the light left his eyes and she turned to Neville, 'Red and Gold is what we bleed.' From then on she fought the night through, amongst the men she had deceived and the brother and sister of her own pride.
Parvati was a lioness through and through, a snake bite here or there didn't make her one of them.
