Deep in the forest, in the very depths of the village, Tala and her
squad, once again were surrounding a map of Hogwarts.
"It's just like we practiced, except for this time, we're serious. Nadlie, you'll stay with me." Tala demanded.
"So what's the object of tonight's mission?" asked Cera.
"That I'll worry about-"
"But we need to know, in case."
"Taking captives." replied Tala sternly. "The Merfolk have been our allies for many years; they're on standy by and waiting for action, so let's go." The group smiled and went their ways. -------------------------------------------- At the school everyone was fast asleep; even the prefects who usually patrolled the halls at night. Tala and Nadlie appeared at the edge of the forest, closely followed by a herd of unicorns. One with a large trailer drawn behind it. They waited patiently, when finally the two girls with pixie haircuts came to them and took the unicorn with the trailer. Tala stood waiting for the others to return with news and hopefully captives; soon she stood smiling in satisfaction as teachers were brought out; bound at their hands and feet, blind-folded, and gagged. They were put onto the backs of the unicorns and taken to the edge of the lake where the Merfolk awaited them. "Now it's our turn, Nadlie." Tala teased. "You'll take the captives as I set them out." Nadlie nodded and headed to the side of the school and started climbing. Tala, climbed through a lower window and set off toward the 7th floor. On the 7th floor she found the Gryffindor house where she found Hermione sleeping with her nose in her text books. On the 5th floor, Ravenclaw house. Tala quietly removed stones around the entrance way, magically. Inside she found Luna Lovegood sleeping heavily on one of sofas. Tala was carefully tying Luna's hands and feet when she began to wake up. Tala quickly forced a gag into her mouth and took her wand; Luna was fully awake and struggling. After blind-folding her, she was set outside the entrance way. One the 4th she found the hospital wing. A little while later she had searched all but the dungeons. In the dungeons, Draco was soundly asleep in what was previously an empty class room before he was taken.
Tala
"Come on! They can't all be upstairs!"
Soon she came to a suit of armor in the dungeons, and removed stones from the door way like before. She went in and found a select few to take. First, Goyle. Second, a first year by the name of Charlotte. Soon after, she came to what appeared to be a class room, but she could here someone inside. She opened the door causiouly and found, Draco, sleeping in a mess of blankets.
Glad to see he's enjoying his night back.
Tala stepped over to the bedside and observed him for a moment, then, like she had done the others, tied him up and gagged him. He didn't seem to have noticed at all that this was going on, so she took him outside the entrance way where Nadlie was standing, waiting for the last captive. "Tala? Is he being taken to the city, like the other students?"
"Yes. But he's going to be treated like a prisoner this time. No, strolling around." Nadlie nodded and took Draco by his waist and carried him outside to a group of centaurs.
"It seems as your plans have finally been put into action.You've done well, and you have our trust. Is there something you would like us to do?" said the centaur leader, noting that there were 3 others with him.
"No. But we may need you later, in case our prisoners give us problems." he bowed his head and he and the other centaurs left at a gallop.
--------------------- Tala left the castle and headed towards the lake. There was one lone merman left at the bank.
