"This is so cute!" Samantha exclaims.
"Yeah, very quaint" Maxine says while holding on to Dylan's hand.
"Where do you guys want to go first?"
"Let's check out Honeydukes first, then we'll check out Zonko's joke shop, then The Three Broomsticks for some Butterbeers" Dylan tells the girls, they all agree.
They go into Honeydukes and are immedietely assaulted with wonderful smell of all sorts of candy and chocolates.
"Wow this place is great, it puts any other candy shop to shame."
They walk in looking at all the goodies that the shop has to offer. Acid pops, Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, Cauldron Cakes, Chocolate Frogs, and Chocolate Wands, Fizzing Whizzbees, Liquorice Wands, Sugar Quills and so much more. The quartet split up and explored the shop, Alina bought several Sugar Quills and Chocolate Wands, Cauldron Cakes, some Chocolate Frogs as well, she even bought Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. Dylan bought a little of everything in the shop, excluding the ones that either look or tasted like blood.
They leave the shop and go into Zonko's Joke Shop, there they see the Weasley twins stocking up on supplies. They were buying dungbombs, Hiccough Sweets, and other items. The Quartet get a good laugh at all the items in the shop.
Meanwhile, Logan climbs on top of a building where he could better watch Alina and the gang. He watches them go into Honeydukes and come out with bags full of sweets
"I'm gonna kill her if she eats all that shit." Logan grumbles to himself. He watches as they head into Zonko's Joke Shop, they come out a little while later empty handed. He suddenly loses sight of her when a bunch of wizards and witches pass by, Logan stands up and sniffs the air trying to pick up her scent. The scent he picks up makes him growl, Sabertooth.
Once Alina and the others come out of the joke shop and were heading to the Three Broomsticks, they run into a crowd of people. Trying to push her way through the crowd, she loses sight of Dylan, Maxine, and Samantha.
"Great now where did they go?" She looks around disoriented she starts walking in the opposite way of the Three Broomsticks. She fines herself on the seedy side of Hogsmeade. She turns down an alley, it turns out to be a dead end. Then she hears a familar voice behind her.
"Well, well, well, I finally caught up with you, Squirt."
Alina whirls around and comes face to face with Victor Creed, A.K.A. Sabertooth. He smiles at her showing off his canines, it was just like the boggart. He takes a step towards her, she takes one back and collides with a brick wall.
Victor laughs, "No where for you to go, Squirt, and no one here to save you this time."
Alina half expected him to pull Logan's head from his coat.
"Victor, please, I've never done anything to you, please let me go."
"That's right beg for life, it'll make it more enjoyable torturing you to death. Oh, that's right you have healing factor like me and Jimmy, well don't expect your death any time soon. And you're right you haven't done shit to me but Jimmy cares for you and that's enough reason for me."
At the same time, Logan is looking for Sabertooth, when he comes across Alina's scent as well. Logan jumps from building to building, hoping that these shacks will hold his weight. He follows the scent into a dark alley just in time to see Victor lunge for Alina.
Alina is so scared she freezes, forgetting completely that she can teleport. She closes her eyes expecting to feel Victor's claws dig into her flesh. But right as he's about to connect, Logan leaps down from the building landing in front of Alina and takes the brunt of Victor's attack, he grunts as he shoves Victor back.
"Well, hello there, Jimmy, Nice to see you again."
"Shut the fuck up, Victor, and leave the kid alone, your fight's with me."
"Nah, I don't think so, Jimmy, I'd prefer to torture her instead of you. And I think she old enough to receive a special type of torture, you never know she might enjoy it." Victor says with an grin then licks his lips.
Logan sees red after that disgusting comment, he unsheathes his claws and charges at Sabertooth. Sabertooth roars and comes at Logan, they collide in the middle of the alley. All that can be heard are growls and roars and the tearing of flesh. Victor sinks his claws into Logan's chest, lifts him off the ground and tosses him through a building. Thank goodness most of the buildings around them were abandoned, Logan shakes his head and gets up, he growls. He rushes Sabertooth, tackling him to the ground and begins beating him to a pulp.
He started shredding his face with each punch, busting his lip, breaking his jaw, his teeth, busting his nose. But Victor only laughed as the wounds begin to heal. Victor uses his knees to heaves Logan off of him, he stands up laughing.
"Come on, Jimmy, you can do better than that." Victor says as he spits out a mouthful of blood.
They rush each other again but Victor is able to trap both of Logan's arms, giving him the opportunity to rip Logan's throat open. Blood sprays out of Logan's wound coating Victor in blood. Logan presses both hands to his throat trying to stop the bleeding, when he begins to choke on his own blood. Victor takes a swipe at Logan, shredding his chest open down to his Adamantium bones. Logan's legs give out from the lose of blood and he slumps forward, falling face first into the ground.
Victor laughs then turns and begins stalking toward Alina. Thinking clearly now, her first instinct is to teleport away, but that would leave Logan and frankly everyone in Hogsmead vunerable. She pulls out her wand instead, pointing it at Victor.
"What are you going to do with that stick, Squirt, stab me in the eye?" Victor says as he stalks closer to her.
She knows she can't defeat him, she only needs to keep him focused on her long enough for Logan to come back around. So she makes her move.
"Stupefy!"
A red light erupted from her wand and hit Sabertooth, right in the chest, sending him flying right into a brick wall. He crumpled to the ground but after a few seconds, he got up and dusted himself off.
"Very nice, Squirt, looks like you've learned some new moves."
Victor lets out a loud roar and rushes toward Alina.
"Bombarda!"
But Victor easily jumped out of the way, using his claws to scale the wall.
"Impedimenta!"
Victor once again leapted out of the way, but when he did, Alina was ready for him.
"Incarcerous!"
Victor landed heavily on the ground, bound by thick ropes. Alina smiles triumphantly, thinking she has him. But Victor makes quick work of ropes, shredding them with his claws. He gets back to his feet.
"Now I'm pissed, I was going to give you a quick death and take your head, but forget it now, I'm going to torture you until, I'm bored of your screams."
But just as he's about to make contact with his claws, Logan stabs Victor through the back, his Adamantium claws protruding out his chest. Victor cries out in pain as blood comes spurting from his mouth. Logan lifts Victor off the ground with him still impaled on his claws.
He looks to Alina, "Run, Kid." Alina hesitates.
"I said run!" She takes off running.
Rounding the corner, she crashes into the one person she was not expecting, but was glad to see, Remus Lupin.
After Remus had spent some time with Harry, Harry's friends returned and Remus took his leave. He decided that he was going to go down to Hogsmeade and get a Butterbeer. In reality he was going down to see if he could get a glimpse of Alina, but he had no intention of admitting that to himself or anyone else for that matter.
When he got to the Three Broomsticks, he looked around wondering if he could spot Alina anywhere. What he saw had him very distressed. Remus had spotted Dylan, Maxine and Samantha, but there was no sign of Alina anywhere. He casually sniffed the air and her scent was no where to be found. He decided to listen in on what her friends were talking about.
"Where do you suppose she is?" Maxine asks
"I don't know, I lost her in the crowd." Dylan says.
"Should we go look for her." Samantha asks.
"Nah, I think we should wait here, otherwise we'll miss each other. Besides what could happen to her in a village like this." Dylan says.
Remus turns back to the bar, taking a sip of his Butterbeer. 'So, the group had been separated, where could she be?' He thought.
Suddenly Remus gets this terrible feeling in the pit of his stomach. He decides to leave The Three Broomsticks and search for Alina. Stepping out into the crisp Autumn air Remus begins to head towards the outskirts of the village, reasoning that if she got turned around she would have headed in the opposite direction of the The Three Broomsticks.
Getting closer to the edge of the village Remus begins to hear, what he can only describe as, a fight between two wild animals. He can hear a great deal of growls, snarls, and roars, not to mention the sound of flesh being ripped apart. He pulls out his wand as a precaution, and starts heading towards the source of the noises. He makes it to the entrance of the alley way, as he's about to enter someone comes barreling into him nearly knocking him off his feet.
He looks down and sees that it's Alina. Remus lets out a sigh of relief, but upon looking at her more closely he sees how frightened she is. Taking her by the shoulders he gazes into her frightened eyes.
"Alina what's wrong, are you hurt?" She shakes her head.
Looking behind her she starts pulling on Remus' sleeve, "No, I'm not hurt, Professor, but we have got to get out of here in case he gets away."
"Who, what's going on down there?" Remus asks as he tries to walk into the alley, wand held at the ready.
Alina clamps onto his arm and starts dragging him with all her might in the opposite direction.
"No, Professor, don't get involved, he'll kill you."
"Who will?"
"Sabertooth."
Remus' eyes widen as he remembers the fearsome man dressed in black with the large canines and retracting claws that makes Fenrir Greyback look like a small puppy, he shutters at the thought. He lets Alina pull him away from the alley way as he hears the fighting continue, Alina begins running and Remus follows her. Once they've gotten a good distance away and can no longer hear the fighting, Alina slows down, but continues to walk at a fast pace, every now and then glancing behind her.
"Alina, slow down."
"No, no we need to keep moving, we need to put as much distance between us and him as possible, just in case he gets away from Logan."
"Logan, who's Logan?" Remus asks.
Alina glances behind her, "Logan is my unofficial bodyguard and best friend, he's fighting Victor right now.
"What do we do?"
"We need to get the others out of here, if Victor catches my scent on Dylan, Maxine and Samantha, he'll kill them just to spite me." Alina tells Remus.
"They're in the Three Broomsticks, I'll show you the way."
Remus lead Alina to the Three Broomsticks, Alina kept glancing over her shoulder as they were walking. Once they got there, Remus opened the door for her. She walked in scanning the room for her friends, the minute she saw them, she made a beeline straight for them leaving Remus standing by the door. She went and plopped down right in front of them grabbing Dylan's Butterbeer and taking a swig.
"Alina where have you been?" Samantha asks once Alina puts the Butterbeer down.
"What's wrong with you?" Maxine asks as looks at the paniced look on Alina's face.
"We've got to get the hell out of here." Alina whispers.
"Why?" Dylan asks then takes a sip of his Butterbeer.
"Sabertooth is here!"
"Dylan starts choking on his Butterbeer, Maxine starts pounding on Dylan's back.
"What?!" He whisper yells
"He's here, in Hogsmeade Village. I don't know how he got here or how he found me, Logan is here too and they're in an alley fighting right now. We can't hang around here just in case he gets away from Logan we have to head back to the castle. Or better said you guys need to head to the castle."
"What do you mean us?"
"I can't take the risk of Victor coming after you guys just because you're my friends, so take Professor Lupin and go back, I have to go back."
"Professor Lupin?" They all look up at the door where Remus hasn't budged, "What does he have to do with this?"
"I ran into him outside the alley way where Logan and Victor were fighting, if Victor picks up his scent with mine he'll come after him too." Remus' eyes widen, he hadn't realized his life was now in danger.
"So you guys get going," They all got up and headed for the door. "Professor, you need to head back to the castle with the others, I need to go check on Logan."
"No, Alina, I can't let you go back there with that maniac." Remus tells her as he takes her by the hand, Alina blushes.
"Don't worry, Professor, I can handle myself, besides I won't be alone, Logan is there, he'll protect me no matter what. Now, please don't argue, get going." With that Alina turns and takes off running in the opposite direction.
Remus watches her run off, his heart clenches. He turns to the others "I want you three to head back to the castle and stay there."
"What are you going to do, Professor?" Maxine asked him.
"I'm going after Alina."
"I don't think that's a good idea, Professor, Sabertooth is a very dangerous man." Dylan tells him.
"All the more reason for me to go after her, Mr. Whitlock." Remus turns and heads off after Alina.
Alina is running throught the streets of Hogsmeade,weaving her way through the crowds of students and teachers and local resident who are enjoying their day, blissfully unaware that in a blink of an eye they could all be massacred. She quickens her steps and goes back towards the seedy side of town.
When she gets to the alley where she is before she is surprised that no one has bother not to come to investigate, houses have collapsed, the street has been ripped up, in places, windows broken, gaping holes in the sides of building, but Logan and Victor were nowhere in sight. It was eerily quiet. Alina walks further through the distructution, until she finally saw Victor bashing Logan's head on a spike over and over again bursting Logan's eye, blood splattering everywhere, Victor pauses for a second then continues on with what he was doing . He finally lets Logan slump to the floor.
Meanwhile, Alina was trying to sneak closer to Victor, she was going to bind him again, with chains this time, but then Victor tossed Logan aside like a rag doll with his back to her he starts laughing.
"Hahahaha, so, Squirt, you came back. Well, that saves me the trouble of ripping this place apart looking for ya." Victor tilts his head to the side.
"Who's the weakling with you brought with you?" Victor asks as he turned around.
Alina gives him the confused, Victor motions with his head and Remus steps out of shadows. Her eyes widen and her heart begins to race, Victor quirked an eyebrow.
Alina rushes to Professor Lupin's side, "You can't be here, sir, this is dangerous." She says as she hugs him and starts pushing up the street.
He hugs her to him briefly closing his eyes then pushes her behind him. "All the more reason for me to be here, I can't let you face this man alone."
Remus pulls his wand out and points it at Victor, Victor scoffs crossing his arms in front him and rolling his eyes. "Oh please, not that shit again."
He lets out a loud roar that shakes the building leaps onto all fours and rushes towards Remus with the intent of ripping him apart. Remus casts spell after spell, some of them hitting him, and doing nothing to him and most he easily avoided . Remus keeps backing up, pushing Alina behind him until finally Victor leaps right at him and Remus casts one last jinx.
"Levicorpus!"
Just as Victor was about to pounce he was hoisted into the air by his ankle. Victor is dangling upside down, he looks at a Remus and sneers.
"Just, wait til I get down from here, Weakling, I'm gonna rip your heart out and feed it to ya." Remus takes a step back. Victor starts laughing.
"I don't think so, Punk." Logan says as he punches Victor so hard in the back of the head you head, Remus heard metal collide with bone and the sickening sound of bone breaking.
"Get out of here you two, I'll take care of this, but first put him down."
Remus utter the counter - curse.
"Liberacorpus."
The minute Victor hit the ground Alina ties him up, this time using chains. Logan started dragging Victor away. Alina grabbed Remus hand and starts leading him away a spring in her step. Remus looks down at his hand in hers and blushes. He turns around and to his amazment the two men are gone.
