"Glacius tria!" Leili cried, wrapping Death eaters in a block of ice while Jo manipulated a dismembered set of armor. Using severing and mending charms she reworked the metal into a sphere around several wounded students, the poor concussed boy Jo had rescued among them.

"Are you done yet?" Leili asked impatiently before blasting a Death Eater away, "bombarda!"

"Nearly! Protecto Horribilus, Repello Inimicum, Fianto Duri." As Leili worked to keep Death eaters and spells away Jo created a safe haven for the injured. Once Jo had everyone gathered inside the metal ball Leili took over.

She crawled inside, took a deep breath and told the injured, "I feel it's only fair to warn you, I have no idea what I'm doing." Then, she cast a spell to keep the wounded in a sort of suspended animation, if it worked, they would be asleep and barely alive. After a moment Leili exited the sphere and closed it off with a quick "Expoximise."

"Did it work?"

"Gods I hope so. DURO!" she shouted at a Death Eater who blocked it, "Incendio!" she shot back. "Otherwise I just killed a dozen kids by trying. Glacius tria!" she cried, encasing a death eater's wand hand in a gauntlet of ice.
