Auria watched as the Death Eaters looked carefully around the neighborhood.
They quickly moved themselves into a line in front of the house, so as to
block any means of escape. Auria glanced across the street and nodded to
James and Remus. Looking back she saw that one of the Death Eaters had
positioned itself in front of the front door. The instant it raised its
wand Auria, Sirius, James and Remus attacked.
The four friends jumped out from between the houses and in unison shot the disarming spell at the four closest Death Eaters. Caught unaware their wands flew out of their hands and landed with a soft clank on the pavement. As they dove towards them the fifth Death Eater spun around and hit James with the jelly legs curse. James began to dance dangerously close to the four Death Eaters that were picking up their wands.
"Finite" Auria yelled, pointing her wand at James.
As soon as his legs stopped dancing James quickly backed away from the Death Eaters. The four had gotten their wands back and all five assassins began heading towards them. Sirius, Remus, Auria and James slowly backed away.
"What do we do now?" Sirius whispered to her.
"Each of you get one, I'll get the leader and the one on the end" she said so that they could all hear.
Auria raised her wand, feeling anger course through her body.
"This is what the months of practice have been for" she said to herself before shooting the spell.
"Capitcont" she screamed swishing her wand across the two Death Eaters.
A jet of orange light flew out of Auria' wand and wrapped them together. Then the jet of light became a rope and it swung the two people into each other. The Death Eaters' heads smashed together with a sickening thud and they both fell to the floor unconscious. In the lamplight Auria could see a pool of blood being to form on the street below.
Just then a jet of red light zoomed by her head. She turned around and dove onto the grass just in time to avoid a second spell. She heard Sirius yell "stupefy" and the Death Eater fall to the floor with a thud. Suddenly a horrible scream filled the air. Sitting up Auria saw Remus lying on the floor twitching in pain with a Death Eater standing over him. Auria's anger boiled over, and without thinking she ran straight for the Death Eater. Sirius and James had already tied one up and were working on a second when Auria ducked to avoid one of their spells. She reached the Death Eater and threw him to the ground with all her might. Jumping up Auria towered over him, her wand pointed straight at his heart.
"Kill him, kill him" her brain screamed, but her heart told her no.
"Not again" she thought to herself.
Instead she raised her wand and shouted, "acuderm."
The Death Eater suddenly started grabbing himself all over and yelping in pain. Auria was just about to do another spell, when out of the corner of her eye she caught the lead Death Eater running towards the house. He had woken up and taken advantage of the distraction his friends had provided. Auria gave the Death Eater beneath her a good kick in the head, before running off after him.
She had just reached the driveway when she was thrown to the ground by a huge explosion. The Death Eater had blown the front door off, and by the time the smoke had cleared, was inside the house. Ignoring the pain in her cut knees, Auria scrambled to her feet and went inside.
The house was dark and quiet. She realized that the noise outside had stopped and looking back, saw that James and Sirius had tied up the remaining Death Eater. Her head snapped back around when she heard a stair creak. She silently made her way through the kitchen, pocketing a large kitchen knife along the way. Finding the stairs she pulled out her wand and headed up. She stopped and held her breath when the fifth stair creaked below her feet. There was only silence.
Reaching the top she looked around and saw a bedroom door slightly ajar. Hoping that the Bengers were still alive she made her way across the landing. Auria was about to push the door open when a hand grabbed her mouth from behind and another closed around her neck. Before she had a chance to struggle she felt a wand tip against her temple.
"Come to save the Bengers have we?" a cruel voice whispered in her ear.
Auria remained silent; knowing that her young sounding voice would give her away.
"I like to see who I'm killing. I like to see the look on their face just before they die" he whispered grabbing hold of the back of her hood.
Auria knew that it was now or never. The Death Eater spun her around. Before he could pull the hood off she drew out the kitchen knife and stabbed it all the way into his stomach. He screamed in pain and staggered backwards. A light came on in the Bengers bedroom and the door opened. Auria pulled her hood farther down and spun around.
A man of about 50 stood in the doorway wearing a blue robe, his wand drawn. Looking beyond him Auria could see, at the back of the room, a door surrounded by bright white light.
The man took one look at the Death Eater and pointed his wand towards Auria.
"He's the evil one" Auria said pointing to the Death Eater, lying in a pool of blood on the floor.
As soon as the man looked down she turned around and bolted down the stairs.
"Alright, lets go" she said to Remus, James and Sirius when she caught up to them outside. "The ministry should be coming."
Sirius had just disappeared down an alleyway when they heard the popping sounds of several ministry wizards apparating onto the Benger's front lawn. Without a glance back Auria changed into her phoenix form and carried her friends back to school.
