HERMIONE'S POV
I know Harry had been too busy pleading with Hagrid to put down the shifters to see, but the other shifters from their pack had gathered just inside the woods. The beasts, stayed well hidden, but their sheer size and number gave them away. They looked angry . . . or maybe just hungry. I couldn't tell the difference. I held my wand at the ready preparing for their strike.
"Hermione are you getting this?" Fred asked, nodding towards the woods, tapping his brother on the arm.
"Yea" was my only response.
"Hagrid put them down!" Harry commanded.
"Well, okay. I guess if you guys don't want to pet them." Hagrid said, gently lowering the wolves to the ground.
That's when they sprung their attack.
SAM'S POV
Attack! I instructed the pack as I leapt forward biting the giant on his arm. Leah and Seth stayed with me to down this monster-sized man. The rest of the pack simultaneously sprung on the other wizards. Looking at them they didn't appear to be any older than teenagers but that didn't make them any less dangerous.
In unison, they all shouted a spell together, "Expecto-petronum!" From the tips of their dinky wands, I could see white spirits of animals spring forth to fight for them. Instantly, the pack was in trouble. Quil, Jared and Embry were the first to scream for help.
We must retreat! Leah warned.
Not yet. Stand your ground! I commanded. I hoped that this would not be a fatal mistake.
I pressed forward with my attack on the giant, biting and clawing. The giant stayed on the defensive, never fighting back only smacking away my attacks.
HELP! Quil screamed and we knew he was all in real trouble. One of the spirits, a giant white bull, had charged him into a tree and was holding him there, crushing the air from his lungs.
I knew that there was something that I needed to do, so I broke off of my attack with the giant and charged to help Quil.
EMMETT'S POV
When I broke through the trees, I scanned the melee but saw no sign of Edward. I had no idea what they'd done to him but I knew that these wizards were going to pay. I sized up the biggest threat was the giant. He was distracted; swatting at two wolves from the pack. I charged him from behind, jumping on his back. I put him in my stoutest rear-naked choke. I squeezed with all my might but the monster seemed almost to take no notice of me as parried the attacked of the wolves with ease.
I released my choke and began punching him repeatedly in the sides of his head. "Hey now, what'cha doin' that for?" He whaled, grabbing me by the scruff of my neck and tossing me like a rag doll into the air.
BELLA'S POV
It was a nightmare. When I made it back to the front yard of our home what I saw stopped me in my tracks. Everywhere I looked; my friends were losing the fight. All the wolf pack minus Jacob were getting knocked around by these wizards spells. They'd somehow conjured these white animals to come fight for them. Emmett had returned and was on the giants back punching him in the head, when the giant grabbed Emmett and threw him like it was nothing. And worse of all, I didn't see Edward anywhere. I had no idea what they'd done to him.
HARRY'S POV
I had been so busy arguing with Hagrid that I never saw the attack coming. I was not prepared when the wolf charged in taking me by surprise, knocking me to the ground. I'm pretty sure that he'd bit my face off if not for me thrusting my wand into both the back corners of the wolf's mouth. Now, here I lay on the ground, holding the tip and butt of my wand, steering the wolf's head as his spit and bad breath rained down on me. From this position, I couldn't cast any spells and the weight of the wolf wouldn't let me get up either.
"Hermione, help!" I shouted, which I'm sure was barely audible over sounds of the battle. But it seemed like the only thing I could do was to hang on until I was rescued by one of the people that I'd been sent here to lead.
EDWARD'S POV
When I opened the front door and stepped out onto the porch I knew that it was too late. I'd spent too much time inside talking to Luna. Now it was going to be much more difficult to get them to stop fighting and have a peaceful resolution. I knew that I had to act right away before anyone got hurt.
"Oh my. It looks like we lingered too long." Luna said nonchalantly.
I charged out into the frey . . .
