James threw her hard against the wall behind her still smirking. "I do believe I can force you into it!" he hissed in a tone that was so filled with hatred that the hair on the back of his own neck stood on end. He advanced on Amanda once more.
Amanda groaned loudly. She tried to get up but she was too weak. "I'm not going to help you!!" she said because she couldn't get up. She opened her eyes partly and the shut them again and opened them widely fort he last time.
Loral's gaze stayed on James. She had to help Amanda. With a mental grin, she flicked her wand, "PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!" she yelled, hoping Amanda would have the sense to get away from him.
James grabbed Amanda by the neck once more and brought her roughly over to Tigress. "Give me the wand or she will die of suffocation!" He squeezed her neck a little harder as he said that. James' eyes flicked to a look of complete exhaustion for a minute, his hand loosening, but then were cold again and his hand tightened.
Tigress winced as James' apparently took out his anger on Amanda. She made sure the wand was hidden before Carefully stepping slightly closer. "So what are we all gathered here for anyway?" She started. "As far as I can tell, he's only being arrogant and rude as always. We can see that every day in the halls." She threw a look of apology at Sirius and the others to show that she didn't mean it and she knew it was far more Serious than that.
Amanda clasped her hands to her neck once again. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't breath or talk or anything.
Laral sprinted over, behind Tigress, near the other side of the door. "Tigress! Accio bag, Accio wand!" She yelled darting forward at the same time to grab the stuff. She wanted Tigress to then get to the other side of the room so they could keep it from him.
Tigress tilted her head at James' threat and took a step backwards, towards the door, ready to dart out if he decided to curse or suffocate her. "Are you really in a position to make threats? I could easily leave, and if you do kill her, you still won't have your little stick." She blinked innocently at him and stepped just out side the door.
Laral mentally ran over all of the freeing spells she could think of, but was un sure if they would free James's spirit from his own body, or the captor from James's body, and then where would it go? Perhaps if she put a memory charm on herself then looked into his eyes.. what then if the captor transferred to her? It might help James.. She certainly had more energy and resistance at the moment.
James gripped Amanda's neck harder hearing a small cricking sound and threw her to the ground. He grabbed a vase and broke it over his knee. Bending over to pick up some pieces, he grabbed the largest one there and placed a foot on Amanda's chest to hold her down. "I think bleeding to death will be much more fun to watch, even if I don't get my wand back,"
Laral sighed, flicking her wand "ACCIO SHARDS!" most of the large pieces came flying to her and she ducked behind a bed as she saw the edges coming to her. Her forearm tore her robe, and she had a few shallow cuts, but she was okay. "TIGRESS. BIND HIM. STUN HIM, GIVE HIM A BODY BING FOR GOODNESS'S SAKE DO SOMETHING"
Tigress raised an eyebrow and let go easily when Laral summoned her bag and James' wand. "It would, now wouldn't it." She said stepping closer now that she was free from the wand and potion. "I must say that whoever you are, you certainly chose the right body to possess."
