"Reducto!" James calls out, a jet of light shooting out from his wand. It strikes the Portkey and explodes, just before the Death Eater's hand touches it.
Thr masked man growls as he kicks aside the fragments of the pink sunglasses. He retaliates with a Killing Curse and James misses it by a hair as he dives behind a pile of rubble.
James searches the area around him calculatingly for an advantage. There appears to be none and James sighs in despair.
He sneaks around the rubble before he collides with a warm body.
James glimpses lustrous red hair and his first impression is that it's either of the Prewett twins.
Then he realizes this person is much shorter and as they look up at him, he finds himself staring into brilliant emerald eyes.
They both exclaim "Ouch!" at the same time, with James adding, "bloody hell!"
They blush simultaneously but do not immediately separate. Instead, the girl buries her head in his chest and releases a groan.
"You tired?" James asks, patting her head sympathetically upon seeing her weary face. Her hair is matted and damp with sweat, but he doesn't mind.
"Exhausted, " she mutters, her breath warming his stomach, "but we have to keep going."
Something about her tone sends energy surging through him. He clenches his fists as a wave of uncontrollable anger sweeps through him, making his blood boil.
This girl may be weak and tired and ready to give up, but he's prepared to go down fighting.
"I've got to go," he says, "I'll see you later."
He darts away.
He channels his anger through his spells, ruthlessly beating down all of his opponents. No one is spared from his wrath; he is merciless.
The feral look on his face is almost frightening. The wild look in his eyes in unnerving. He's on a rampage, thriving on the energy lent to him.
