Chapter 2
The Fight
"A Dementor? No! It can't be. What was it Brandon told me about them? Oh yeah. It can't be a Dementor because Muggles can't see them," replied Maria.
"But what can it be if it's not a Dementor? If your right only wizards and witches know about them so it must be magical people playing jokes on Muggles, but they don't know a witch and a wizard live around here," wondered Tiara.
"Stay here," warned Maria "and I guess we'll just have to call them Denominators because you called them Denominators when I first told you what they were and these ones aren't real." Maria pulled her wand out of her pocket and went down to the fire pit. She had her mind made up if they were indeed wizards then they would have their wands with them so she should do Expelliarmus to have their wands fly at her then she would snap them and throw them into the fire pit for wood.
When she got there a large hooded figure jumped out from behind a tree and took out his wand. "Aha," whispered Maria, and then shouted "Expelliarmus!" The figure's wand flew to Maria and she snapped it in two then threw it in the fire pit as planned. "Wingardium Leviosa!" Maria shouted and the man rose up and up into the air. She directed him with her wand to turn upside-down then she sent him falling facedown toward the ground. In a matter of seconds the man crashed headfirst into the ground. He got up dazed, blood gushing from the top of his head only to be blown backwards into a tree with a point. It happened so quick that she had no time to react. The man's chest had been impaled and she saw the point of a bloody stick sticking up through his chest. Maria fell back with horror. Never before had she seen such a terrifying sight in real life. Also she could not belief she had killed a human being.
She got up and turned around to face another hooded figure (this time the hood was down to revel a terrible looking face) pointing his wand at her throat. Before she could do anything a blast of light flew at the man and sent him flying. She turned around to see Brandon pointing his wand at him. "You get him and I'll get that one over there," shouted Maria as another man shot out from behind the shed.
Brandon dashed over toward the fallen man and kicked him in the groin. He groaned and was laying in a fetal position on the ground. Then Brandon waved his wand and shouted, "Flagrate!" A big fiery X appeared on his chest and Brandon picked up an axe they used to split wood and smacked the man with all his might. Blood was gushing everywhere and Brandon fell to the ground covered with blood panting.
Meanwhile Maria was still fighting the last 'Denominator' behind the shed. "Impedimenta!" cried the man. Maria was flung backward and smacked into the shed.
She got up blood was covered all over her face and shouted, "Silencio!" She had caught him right in mid scream. His lips immediately shut. Then she screamed, "Petrificus Totalus!" His arms and legs snapped together. Then she punched him in the nose. As blood sprouted from his nose she punched him again and again in the nose until she barely had enough strength to grab her wand. "Impedimenta," Maria cried and the man flew into a tree and collapsed. She went over and felt his pulse. He was dead. Then she fainted.
A couple of hours later she woke up to her mom shaking her. She sat up and rubbed her eyes and cried, "I'm sorry Professor Flabbergaster. I had to do magic! They were going to kill us! Please don't expel Brandon or me!"
Professor Flabbergaster smiled then said, "Why would I expel you two? You did the very first thing that came into your mind which was to pull out your wand and fight. And I couldn't be more proud because those men were sent to America to kill all of the Muggle born witches and wizards by none other than Lord Voltemort. At the mention of his name Brandon and Maria shuddered with fear.
"Doee Tiara, my friend have to have her memory erased because she watched us do magic?" questioned Maria.
"No because she knew that there really were witches and wizards before she saw you and Brandon use your wands and I didn't come to erase her memory then," answered Professor Flabbergaster.
"But how did you-," Maria began to say, but she saw him smile and knew that she could never hide anything from one of the greatest wizards on earth.
Professor Flabbergaster smiled, and then said, "Oh and I expect you to keep this a secret so the whole school won't start doing magic outside of school. See you next year." And with his last word he left.
