Both the Deatheaters advancing on Risa and Jake wore their hoods down and had their masks off. Malfoy was the first and to his right was a ragged woman, who Risa recognized as Bellatrix Lestrange, an utter sadist who took pleasure in torturing people into insanity and her victim list included Frank and Alice Longbottom, Neville's parents. Jake however knew none of this and was solely focused on Malfoy.

"Arisa," Risa's headset cracked into life but it wasn't any voice she knew. Male and middle aged it belonged to Greg Parker who was fifteen hundred feet above her head in the Atrium. "This is Greg Parker with the SRU, your teammate called us in for back up?"

"Hai, Bletchley-san?" she hissed back hoping Greg spoke Japanese or at the very least someone who spoke Japanese was with him. Jake shot Risa a side glance. How could she be conversing while two Deatheaters had them at wandpoint?

"I can't really talk now Greg," Risa hissed in Japanese.

"Excuse me?"

"She can't talk now," said another voice in the headset. Risa breathed a small sigh of relief as she recognized Jen's voice.

"I don't know what your game is," Malfoy said advancing on Jake and Risa. "Where is the Prophecy?"

"I don't know," Risa answered. Malfoy grabbed her by the wrist pulled her into him by the hair and held the wand at her throat.

"Tell me boy, where is the Prophecy?" Malfoy yelled at Jake jabbing his wand deeper into Risa's neck. "Tell me now or I'll kill the girl!"

Jake was rooted on the spot in a loose-loose situation. He had no idea where the hell Potter had gone or whether Shuhei and Renji had caught up with him. And if he didn't say anything he'd watch Malfoy kill his best friend. Plus Bellatrix had her wand pointed at him so if he did anything then she'd kill him. Then it hit him, pure terror, and panic. He was unable to say anything because anything he might say could kill Risa.

"I'll tell you where I sent the boy," Risa gasped seeing the panic in Jake's eyes. "They boy has the Prophecy, find the boy find it."

Jake stared at Risa. He could tell she was bluffing but he couldn't do anything because Bellatrix had him pressed against the wall, her wand pointing directly at his heart.

"Where is it?" Malfoy snarled at her. "Tell me where it is!"

"Up, up top," Risa gasped. Malfoy loosened his grip on her and she broke away and fell on the floor. Malfoy pointed his wand at her head. "In the atrium, you'll find a door, big and silver. I sent the boy there."

Bellatrix's hollow eyes lit up and she tucked her wand away and ran up the stairs with Malfoy at her heals.

"Arisa, Arisa is everything alright?" Greg's voice came through the headset. "Arisa can you answer me?"

"Where are you?" Risa asked. "Tell me how close you are to the atrium!"

"I'm in the atrium, my team set up base at the security desk," Greg answered.

"I just sent two Deatheaters up toward you guys," Risa exclaimed horrified. Jake looked at her in utter confusion. She grabbed Jake by the wrist and dragged him up the stairs. "Greg, where is the rest of your unit?"

"I sent out members to help yours, Jules caught up with Jen and Sam just met up with Flint and Emmerson three minutes ago."

Jake broke free of Risa's hold, stood on his stair and looked at her.

"Arisa Uchimani," he said. "What the fuck is going on?"

Risa grabbed Jake's wrist again and continued to pull him up the stairs. "I'll tell you on the way."

~*~*~*~*~

Neville picked himself off the ground and stared at the four Deatheaters in front of them. Marcus and Jack put their arms out not permitting Neville to get any farther.

"Look," Jack said. "We know you did really good in the DA and stuff…"

"But now I think it's best we handle this," Marcus said unsheathing his zanpaku-to. All four Deatheaters drew their wands.

"I'll take the fat one," Jack hissed, flashing off to the right. "Hey fatso, can you catch me?" the fat Deatheater shot a green flash of light at Jack He dodged at it hit the wall behind him causing pieces of stone to shower him.

"DIRTY BASTARD!" Jack yelled. "BAKUDO ICHIBAN, SAI!" The Deatheater firing spells at Jack suddenly dropped his wand as his right arm twisted behind his back and he screeched in pain. The Deatheater next to the fat one, an anorexic one, pointed his wand at Jack. Jack raised his arm again ready to perform the same kido.

Marcus ran forward and rammed his sword into the stomach of the anorexic Deatheater but not before he shot a jet of red light at Jack. The remaining two Deatheaters started firing off spells at Marcus but the athletic san seki dodged them all at the same time picking up the dead and bound Deatheaters' wands.

Neville had drawn out his own wand as Marcus was running around in circles playing dodge spell with the Deatheaters. He pulled his own wand out of his robes and pointed it at one of the remaining Deatheaters.

"Stupefy!" he yelled but her wasn't the only one. Both Neville and Jack had drawn their wands and together all three of them had taken out one of the two remaining Deatheaters. Neville turned his wand on the last one just as he was about to aim a killing spell at Marcus.

"Stupefy!" and the Deatheater went down. Marcus sank to his knees in a slight shock.

"You ok?" Jack asked. Marcus nodded.

"That was way to close for comfort, let's finish this off and get out of here," he panted. "Bind them with Ichiban and make sure Soi Fon or someone finds them. I really don't want to do that."

"What about him?" Jack asked pointing to the Deatheater Marcus had stabbed.

"Leave him and go," Marcus answered snapping the Deatheaters' wands in half. He piled them into a pyre and with his own wand set fire to it. The blaze reflected eerily in his dark eyes. "Come on hurry up."

As they turned to leave the door banged open and a cop ran in. He was only a few years older than Marcus and his blond hair was a mess.

"Get down!" he ordered. Instinctively Marcus grabbed Neville and Jack by the hair and threw them both down on the ground. The cop fired his weapon twice and gave the boys the signal to get up. Behind them was the Deatheater Marcus had stabbed.

"Thanks for that," Jack breathed getting up off the ground.

"Who are you?" Marcus asked pointing his wand at the newcomer.

"You might wanna put that down," the cop said. "I'm on your side. Your girlfriend called us in."

"I don't believe you," Marcus snarled.

"I just saved your ass; I'd think you'd be a little bit more grateful."

"Dude," Jack said trying to calm Marcus down. "He's got a gun."

"I'm Sam," the cop said putting his gun away. "I'm with the SRU; we were called in because you were outnumbered. For the last time, I'm your ally."

Marcus lowered his wand. "How do you know my girlfriend?"

"I'm dating her cousin."
