Midnight...
"We've been camped out here for about six hours." Wyatt said to his two cousins, who were leaning against the walls outside the Dwelling.
"This attack better happen soon, or else, I'm going to go crazy." Damien said as he fidgeted against the wall.
"Look, my premonitions don't have a time stamp on them, so I don't know what this is going to happen. All I know is that it will." Maria said in annoyance. Suddenly, her eyes perked up, "Someone's coming. I can sense them."
"Who?" Wyatt asked as he stood up, his hands ready to freeze.
"Not sure." Maria spoke, "The potion is still in effect."
All of a sudden, Chris rounded the corner, he seemed out of breath.
"Chris?" Wyatt asked concerned and confused.
"Harry, Ron and Hermione snuck out of the dorms. I don't know where they are, and it took me forever to get here." He said out of breath.
"Why didn't you orb?" Maria asked.
"Couldn't risk it, if they saw me."
"Okay, do you think they are coming here?" Damien asked concerned.
"Perhaps? I'm not really sure. Damien, listen, I'm sorry, I really am." Chris apologized.
"It's okay. It's not important right now, finding this killer is."
"I agree. Perhaps, we should split up?"
"Why? This is the scene of the crime; shouldn't we be here, waiting?" Wyatt spoke.
"It's the most logical place to be? And if Harry and company are meant to be here, they'll find their way here. They always do." Maria said.
"So now it's just a waiting game." Damien said as he sat back down and leaned against the wall. The other three following Damien's lead. Chris sat next to Damien, in hopes that Damien wouldn't feel threatened by him.
They sat in silence for another hour, before Maria perked up. "Someone's coming." The four stood up and took positions. Wyatt ready to freeze, Chris ready to send whoever it is flying.
A young boy, a second year rounded the corner, running fast and scared. Maria could tell he was scared without using her power.
"Help, please." The young boy pleaded.
"What's going on?" Wyatt asked first, the other three surrounding the boy.
"Someone is after me." He spoke out of breath.
"Do you know who?" Chris asked looking behind him, to see if anyone else was following.
"No. I was just walking around, I can't sleep well. I went for a walk and this man in a black cloak started after me."
"Is he the one from your vision?" Damien asked Maria, and she nodded.
All of a sudden, the young boy started screaming dangerously. His robe caught fire and he went up in flames fast.
"What the hell?" Wyatt yelled as he froze the young boy, but the fire didn't freeze, just the boy.
"Oh my god!" Maria screamed as she pulled off her hoodie and started to try and put out the fire but to no avail.
The boy unfroze and his screams started again, piercing the night. A purple blast of energy came from Maria's head. "What did you do?" Chris asked, panicked.
"I sent him a blast to remove the pain. He can't feel the fire, but it's still burning his skin!"
"We need water!" Damien yelled looking around for any source of water, and all they could see is the lake through the window. Damien acted quickly and shot an energy ball at the window, blasting the glass into shards, and Chris stepped up. He focused his energy on the lake and a stream of water rose. The telekinetic sent the stream at the boy, but nothing happened the fire wouldn't let up.
"He's going to die, damn it!" Wyatt yelled as he tried to heal the boy, it worked, but as the burned skin healed, the fire would consume it again.
"Help, please." The boy pleaded.
Maria sent another blast putting the boy to sleep, so they could work without his screaming antics.
"Expelliarmus!" a voice called out and Wyatt was propelled into the wall, where he hit his head. A small trickle of blood coated his golden locks.
"What the hell are you people?" Hermione screamed as she whipped out her wand to put out the fire with a spell that generated water, but once again, nothing happened.
"Hermione, stop that! It doesn't work." Chris spoke as he went for her, but she backed away her want at his face.
"Honey, we are not the enemy. We are simply trying to save this boy."
"It looks otherwise." Ron spoke and pulled his wand and placed in front of Damien's face.
"What are you?" He snarled.
"A friend." Was all Damien said.
"Expelliarmus!" Ron cried and Damien quickly levitated out of the way and the blast hit Maria, knocking her out.
The fire burned more and more and the body was completely charred. The boy was dead.
"Put that away." Damien yelled as he floated back onto the ground, pissed.
"You cost this boy his life." Chris said to his 'friends'.
Harry stepped up and shot a red wave of energy at Chris who deflected it with a wave of his hand.
"I don't think so." Chris said as he placed his arm forwards sending the three wizards into the wall, knocking them unconscious.
'We are so royally screwed." Damien said as he tended to Maria and Wyatt.
"More like fucked." Chris said as checked on the three wizards.
