The reality was that, yes, they wouldn’t be having this conversation if the attack wasn’t happening. That was really true, but they were having it anyway because it was frankly a needed one. He had to hand it to Mary, of course. Really, not having a wand in a time like this was… it was just so risky. He was happy he go there before anything else happened. Mary could only rely on throwing things so much without a wand. “That’s called luck, Mary, and it’ll run out.” He said, and he felt his frustration with his sister slowly evading, pure protectiveness filling him up again. He laughed a little at her words, actually finding the joke rather funny despite her tone. But still, considering their circumstance, this was no time to laugh at himself. Joey ended up shooting a few harming spells in the vampire’s direction, enough to get the creature off his feet. “Good!” He shouted, glancing over at her. Okay, how were they going to do this? He trusted Mary’s aim better than his own. A beater had a blunger and could send it off in the direction of a player, but Mary being a chaser needed certain aim. “Okay okay okay! Fuck—” and he had an idea. The thing was that for some reason, this spell was sobasic, learned in everyone’s first year and yet it was so handy. “Petrificus Totalus!” Joey shouted, sending the vampire to freeze and fall right on the ground. He looked over at his sister and smiled brightly. “Why do people always forget this spell? It buys you time. C’mon, eh—do you wanna do it or do you want me to?” Joey asked, talking about actually stabbing the vampire in the heart with the makeshift stake… which, in all honesty, kind of made his stomach feel queasy. He looked rather unsettled at the thought, but if Mary couldn’t, then he would. Somehow. “Like, before he gets back up again, preferably.”
Mary never wanted to think about her luck running out. she did so many stupid things that the day her luck actually ran out she’d probably be screwed. Not that she would say anything to her brother about that. He didn’t really need to know everything she did in her spare time, especially if it got her another lecture. Thankfully, despite sounding cold and aloof, Joey laughed at her pitiful attempt to joke. Joking, teasing, and laughing were the best ways for her to feel more like herself. she gripped the make-shift stake tightly in her hand. The rough and broken wood digging into her palms as she watched him shoot defensive spell after defensive spell at the vampire that was gunning for them. Mary was stupid or naive. She knew what the stake was for, but actually getting close enough to use it without getting hit by one of Joey’s spells seemed futile. A loud curse from Joey shook Mary out of her frozen state of thinking. The gnarly vampire froze in place and clattered to the floor. Mary would have never thought about that spell, it was one of the first spells they had learned first year. “Do it?” she asked stunned, looking at the frozen body laying half in the classroom door. a sharp prick in her palm from the stake made her realize exactly what he meant. She hesitated for a brief moment, She was alot of things but could she really be a killer? To protect Joey from being one, Mary decided, she could. Past the ribs and sternum, that was the way to the heart. Her heart fell into her gut as she brought the stake down on the beast.Joey’s curse wore off a moment too soon, Mary saw the terror in the vampires eyes as the stake found it’s mark. His body dissolved into dust before her eyes. It scattered everywhere. She sat there on the ground next to his remains, unable to move. her hand still wrapped tightly around the stake that had been in the creatures chest just moments ago. “I-I killed it...” she whispered, barely audible.
