2 Week Drabble Wars: (scenario) Write about your character committing/preventing murder. / (dialogue) "If any of you sons of bitches have anything else to say, now is the fucking time!"
Fighting on the Light side was never easy; Minerva had to admit that much to herself. And still, she wouldn't have done it any other way, because this was the perfect opportunity for her to display her loyalty to Hogwarts, her loyalty to her beliefs, and her loyalty to the Order.
She wasn't just fighting for herself though; she was also fighting for the younger kids, who were not old enough to participate, but were still on the same side as her.
These kinds of thoughts ran through her mind while she was blasting curses at Death Eaters, until she heard a gloating voice shout from behind her.
"If any of you sons of bitches have anything else to say, now is the fucking time!" exclaimed the Death Eater, holding a girl in Hufflepuff uniform, who was looking to be around 13, tightly with his wand pressed into her neck. "No? Then let's see how she'll beg before I kill her!"
No, said the little voice in the back of Minerva's head as she turned to face the man, I will not let him kill anyone innocent.
And so, before she could think of anything else, she whipped her wand at the man and casted a silent Stupefy at the man, who hit the ground and released the sobbing girl as soon as the curse hit him.
Unfortunately for her, she couldn't sense the feeling of satisfaction, because as soon as the man was out of the way, another curse was sent in her way from another Death Eater, and she had to go back to fighting. But, she though with a light edge of triumph, at least she saved somebody other than herself.
