Manaia knew something was going to happen. She could feel it in her bones. Out of the corner of her eyes she spotted Avery and Rabastan Lestrange. They stayed in the shadows and out of view, but Manaia's trained eyes spotted them instantly. If Rabastan was around, nine times out of ten Rodolphus and Bellatrix were close. Manaia's attention returned to Mrs Weasley.
"Molly. Get the children and get out." Manaia lowered her voice so only Mrs Weasley could hear. But it was too late as a tell tale cackle rang through Diagon Alley and Bellatrix came into view. "Go Molly!" Mrs Weasley ran into Flourish and Blotts as Manaia sealed the door shut so no one could get in or out and accidently get killed. Other shoppers apparated away with their families and others dashed for their lives into other shops.
"Hello Bellatrix, long time no see." Manaia said to the heavy-lidded very masculine looking woman.
"So it is true then, you have returned." Bellatrix hissed. No love was lost between the pair of women and it was better that way. "Better late than never I suppose."

Harry craned to take a look at the commotion outside. Manaia was clearly outnumbered but she exuded some sort of confidence that made Harry wonder if she could beat them. Bellatrix seemed to taunt Manaia, who at this moment hadn't yet moved from the spot she was standing in.
"Bring it on you crazy bitch!" Manaia shouted and from that moment, Harry held a deep respect for Manaia as she faced one of the more depraved Death Eaters without (Harry just noticed) a wand. Some sort of translucent crystal formed on Manaia's and created a long tapering whip. Bellatrix grinned malevolently and threw spell after spell at Manaia, who just took the brunt of the attacks and Harry knew that Bellatrix was properly using all three of the Unforgivable Curses. With a balled fist, Manaia threw the whip appendage directly through the on-coming fire and at Bellatrix, instantly cutting her wand arm off. She wailed like a hurt dog and collapsed to her feet. Rodolphus took his wife's place and began another wave of attacks. Manaia repeated what she had done to Bellatrix but adding a smoothly sliced leg to the mix. Bellatrix cradled her arm and took of what remained of her husband and disapparated, leaving Rabastan and Avery. Harry watched with curiosity as the men advanced on Manaia and repeated the failed strategy Bellatrix and Rodolphus had employed. The hexes reflected off Manaia with ease as she landed kills, slicing Avery with precision accuracy and with a fast horizontal slash easily beheading Rabastan. Manaia grunted and her hold on the doors ceased, allowing Fred and George to apparate at her side before their side before their mother could say anything. Harry couldn't move as what had happened sank into his mind.
Manaia-is a killer.
Fred pulled Manaia upwards as some of the other patrons tentatively made their way of the shops and stared at Manaia.
"That was awesome." Fred said as Manaia struggled to stand. "I've never seen that before."
"Thanks." Manaia said, glancing over the corpses. She reached into her pocket and pulled a vial of golden dust and uncorked it. Then, Manaia took a handful and sprinkled it over the bodies. They began to degrade before their very eyes as they bubble golden before being absorbed into the concrete.
"I need food." Manaia grunted. Mrs Weasley and the others appeared at her side, all with grim faces.

All of the shops had given everything Manaia wanted free of charge. Manaia had tried to pay for this amazing black eagles quill (Price: 13 and a ½ galleons) but the shopkeeper gave it for free. Manaia knew it was wrong to use jutsu in this place, but after that small show she at least knew that she could. An hour passed and the group returned to 12 Grimmwald place and the news had beaten them there. This matter forced another meeting and the children had to wait it out. Manaia removed George's cloak he had forced on her and plopped herself at the table as she accepted a large firewhiskey from Sirius.
"Why did you get rid of the bodies?" Sirius asked. Manaia shrugged.
"Force of habit I suppose." Manaia remarked as she downed the alcohol. "Why are they attacking in broad daylight?"
"They are getting more confident." Shacklebolt commented.
"Hm." Another glass of Fire whiskey was poured for Manaia as she contemplated the situation. "Voldermort's getting brave isn't he?" Manaia rolled her eyes when the majority shivered at the mention of his name. "Geez people, it's only a name." Mr Weasley heard the knock on the door and in stepped Severus Snape. Manaia glanced his way briefly before returning to her fire whiskey.
"Arthur, I've come to get Manaia."Snape said, and Mr Weasley nodded. Manaia leaned back on her chair and her translucent green gaze lingered on Snape before she sat back up. Downing the remaining of her whiskey and stood. Just hours prior Manaia had been filled in about her role in this whole situation, and how she was supposed to become one of the most influencial pieces in this game, and personally Sirius thought that her part was little more than a suicide mission. Manaia rummaged through her pockets and handed Sirius a silver key.
"Give this to Kitara. She'll know what to do with it." Manaia said, giving Sirius the key. She then stretched and Sirius knew that she was going to face whatever she's going to get. "Now, Sev-lead the way!" Manaia grinned and followed the sallow skinned slytherin out of the door and a loud snap rang, signalling they had disapperated together.
