Ichigo ran down the hall,, growling in frustration. He heard the man yell another nonsense word that he heard in class once before and some kind of attack exploded above his head as he turned a corner. He growled in frustration at having ended up alone against such an odd opponent. "Damn it, if I could just keep him bussy long enough to move in with my sword, but that damn wand of mine's no good. I never could do that kido stuff so there was no way in hell I had a chance with that." growled Ichigo as he ran down another hall. He used the opportuinity to attack his opponent why he couldn't see him. Ichigo swung Zangetsu back as the man came around the corner.
"Protego!" the masked man said calmly. A shield formed that pushed him back, protecting him. Ichigo hissed in annoyance.
"Tell me, what the heck did you guys do to Shuhei!?" Ichigo yelled. The man's head tilted slightly to the side. "The black haired guy with the tattoo's that you all had on the ground screaming!" Ichigo hissed. The man laughed.
"You obviously didn't do any studing while you were here boy. Very well, I will humor you. It was one of the three unforgivable curses. There is the controlling curse where you manipulate their bodies like pupets. There's the torture curse, which is what we used, and finally the killing curse." the man said. Ichigo's eyes got wwide. They tortured a friend of his in front of him, and he had been able to do nothing. Ichigo snarled at the man.
"Is that so, that is unforgivable!" Ichigo growled, lunging forward. He tried to stab the man.
"Cruico!" the man said. Ichigo fell on the ground. He had never felt such pain and he stated screaming. Suddenly the man's wand went flying and Ichigo felt the pain go away. He looked up to see a beautiful woman that he immeditaly recognized.
"Beating up of children. You Death Eatters never change." Hermione hissed. Ichigo limbed to his feet.
"Your Rose and Hugo's mother, Ron's wife!" he remembered. She nodded with a small smile, but her eye's widened at his sword. Deciding that he wasn't exactly out of place in a world where anything was beleived to be possible, she held up her wand at the death eatter that had been torturing him. "How'd you get here and who all's here?!" Ichigo yelled. Hermione looked back at him, deciding to answer.
"Your friend Uryu had the D.A. coin. He signaled us, so we appereated to Hogsmade and tock a secrite passage into the Room of requirment that is in the school. Me, Harry, Ron, Ginny, her brothers, Harry's old quittich team Nevile, Luna, and a few others are all here. We split up, trying to take on as many as possible and help all of you!" she said. Ichigo nodded. He tock his spot beside her.
"The guy that has been hurting the students is the son of Voldemort." he said. Hermione gasped. "That's not all. He trapped one of my good friends off by himself. I need to go back for him." Ichigo said. Hermione nodded.
"First we gotta take care of this guy!" she said, looking over their opponent. Ichigo nodded. "Deprimo!" she yelled, stepping forward. The man dove to his wand to avoid her attack so that it hit the wall behind him. It shattered on contact and he rolled to the side, standing up.
"Avada Kedavra!" the man yelled. THe green light came at Hermione but she didn't flinch. She moved back and to the side to that the spell would fly right by her, then moved forward gain.
"Rictusempra." she tried. The man avvoided the attack as well. Ichigo was so stunned that he almost forgot that the man was now wide open. Charging in, Ichigo slashed across the man, sending him down. Ichigo tock a heavy breath.
"Thanks, so what was that green one?" Ichigo asked. Hermione gave him the same calculating and dissapointed look Rose did when he didn't do well on an assignment.
"It's a killing curse. If it hits' you, that's it. You die." she said. Ichigo looked stunned.
"Hasn't anybody ever survived it?" he asked, genuinly curious. Hermione shock her head.
"Only one person, but it's too dangerous. We gotta go help your friends." she said. He nodded, remembering the others. Ichigo froze. Who should he help?! The others were alll alone for right now! The wizards couldn't sense siritual pressure! He closed his eyes and reached out. He could see many one-on-one battles going on, much like his, with help on it's way. The closest seemed Rukia. Deciding to help her first, Ichigo tock off at a run.
"Follow me!" he yelled to Hermione running down the hall. Confused, she followed.

Rukia ducked from the attack sent at her by the wand. Deciding to face them head on, she drew her zanpakuto. "Dance, Sode no Shirayuki!" she yelled, turning the blade. Ice and snow formed around her as a long white ribbon grew from the hilt. The man smirked.
"I don't understand that blade of yours but I guess from what I see it works off of snow correct? Very well then, Iacarum inflamora." he said. A blue fire appered on the ground in front of Rukia. She jumped back, taking a new grip on her blade.
"Sode no mai..." she started but another burst of fire came at her and she had to jump to the side of avoid it again.
"Incendio!" the man yelled. A huge inferno appered. Rukia fell back from the force as the flames got beyond control and threatened to envelop both of them. She stabbed her blade into the ground. "Juhaku!" she yelled. A trail of ice began, but melted long before it got to the target. In frustration, Rukia hit the top of the blade, hard enough that the sword couldn't give from the angle that it was embeded into the ground and the top broke from the bottom.
"What a fool, you just destroyed your own weapon!" the man yelled, aiming his wand at her. Rukia flashstepped forward, holding the sword in front of the man.
"Dance number three, San no mai, Shirafune!" she yelled. Ice reforged the blade threw the man, and ice spread across the room in a single burst, freezing the fire where it was. Rukia stumbled for an instant as the man fell back a step.
"Avada..." he started, pointing the wand at her chest.
"Impedimenta." the man fell back onto the ground and Rukia turned to see George standing there behind her. "That was brilliant. Good thing I showed up when I did though." he said.
"RUKIA!" came a shout as Ichigo dashed in with Hermione behind him.
"How'd you know it was her? And what happened here, everything is frozen?" Hermione asked, looking around. Rukia dropped her sword down.
"Sorry, but he used some thing strange. Incendio he said?" Rukia wondered.
"A cursed fire, it's uncontrollable. I surprised you were able to stop it." said Hermione with a smile. Rukia nodded.
"Well at least we got two of these guys down." said George. Suddenly they heard a yelling.
"ORIHIME!" both Rukia and Ichigo yelled.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Orihime ran down the hall from the death eatter that was chasing her. She then turned to face him, her face determined. She was done running from this guy. "Shinten Koshun, I reject!" she screamed. The three pointed shield formed in front of her.
"Secumsepra!" the man yelled. As soon as the attack hit the shield it rebounded, hitting him in the stomache. The man fell down on a knee. "What the hell was that?" he growled. Orihime stepped forward, her shield vanishing as Tsubaki, Lily, Hinagiku, and Baigon went back to her hair clips. The man stood back up. "Expeliarmus!" the man growled, and Orihime's hair pins went flying away from her. She looked at where they landed. 'I have to get to them!' she thought. The man then turned back to her. "Deprimo!" he yelled. Orihime barley jumped to the side as the attack came flying at her head. Then another man ran up.
"You caught one?!" the second asked. Then he looked at Orihime and a evil glint came into the eye that she could just see threw the mask. "Why don't we put her under the imperio curse? She can kill her friends for us?" the man asked. Orihime gave them a horrified look. The first man nodded, seeming to like that idea. Orihime was about to dive for her hair pins again when she felt something in her back pocket. Taking a deep breath, she pulled out that wand she bought.
"Expeliarmus!" she tried. Both of their wands went flying. Sighing in a momentary releif, Orihime went for her hair pins. The two men reached their wands first.
"Imperio!" one yelled, hitting Orihime square in the back. She felt the control of her body slipping from her grasp.
"Confringo!" came a shout and the man yelled, releasing Orihime. Orihime didn't bother looking as she stood up.
"Koten Zanshun!" she yelled, Tsubaki charging out and throwing the second guy down.
"Incarceruus." said the voice and both men were bound in ropes. She looked up to see Neville. He smiled. "I'm glad I made it in time." he said.
"Thankyou!" Orihime said with a bow to him. Neville turned to look at the two men on the floor.
"No, thankyou for the signal. I've been waiting a long time for that coin to come back to life again." he said. Orihime nodded and looked down the hall.
"The others are still fighting, we need to help them. And Uryu was left with that man...the son of Voldemort." she protested. Neville gave her a shocked look.
"The son of Voldemort, and a teenage boy was left with him!? We need to hurry!" he said, and the two ran off.

Ichigo and Rukia paused. "What's wrong?" Hermione asked. They concentrated.
"Orihime is safe, but theres still some clashes going on. Chad, Renji, Shuhei, Toshiro, Rangiku, and Nanao are all fighting, and not to mention Uryu is alone with the strongest one of them all." Ichigo said.
"We'll have to go help him." Rukia objected.
"Found you!" came a voice and they turned to see a group of more death eatters.
"I guess that'll have to wait for now!" George objected.

Uryu looked over the man. "So, this Voldemort is your father." Uryu confirmed again. The man nodded. "I see, so you out for revenge against this whole school and all of the students." Uryu gathered all the reshi for his bow.
"That is a strange weapon." Tom said. Uryu smirked.
"I guess I should explain it to you, it's a Quincy bow, I wouldn't expect you to understand." Uryu said. Tom smirked.
"In my time of planning I had did some reaserch into many different types of magic and have come to learn of the existiance of Quincy's and Soul Reapers. I understand that that is what your friends are, Soul Reapers, who are supposed to be the Quincy's main enemy. Yet your their friends. Don't you have anyone who you cared about killed by a Soul Reaper?" Tom taunted. In anger, Uryu released an arrow that the man lazily destroyed with his wand. "You never thought of joining another side, to get revenge for those people of yours?" Tom continued. Uryu glared at the man.
"I don't need to. I already know the culpret was acting alone! Why should I hate all of them if it was only one man!? An idiot substitute taught me all that!" Uryu said, releasing another arrow.
"Too bad, I was going to see if you wanted to join me." Tom mused.
"Not even if we were in the bottom most pits of hell!" Uryu said, releasing a third arrow.
