Perri Ellis Seventh Year Gryffindor

[secretagentperri]

The Undiscovered Country

“Impedimenta!” Perri shouted, aiming her wand at someone who was most definitely on the other side, but not someone she recognized. Immediately after casting the spell, she turned to catch an opponent on her other side. She sent out spell after spell, curse after curse, moving and dodging and never repeating a spell too close together. She had to keep the other side on their toes. If she got too predictable, she would be killed, simple as that. 

“Locomotor Mortis!” One opponent down.

“Stupefy!” Another opponent down.

“Orbis!” A third opponent down.

They were coming from all directions, and, though Perri was good, she didn’t know how much longer she could keep this up. She had been in situations like this before, but somehow this felt worse. Perhaps there were more of them, perhaps she was just having an off day, but whatever it was, she knew there was no way this was going to end well for her. Still, she was determined to keep this going as long as she could.

“Ventus Duo!” One opponent down, and then another, and then another.

“Avada Kedavra!” And Perri went down.

[dorisdear]

It’s nothing!  Just tripped and fell during the exercises.

[secretagentperri]

Ouch. That’s understandable. They can get rather intense. 

[merry-quite-contrary]

Thanks! You can have some if you want.

[secretagentperri]

Thank you. -hands back the pickle jar-

[aint-no-rat]

Hey, you never know.  You could be one a those selfless types.  Helping everyone else when you need the most help.

[secretagentperri]

That wouldn’t do much good. I would help myself first so that I could help someone else more effectively. Unless they needed serious help immediately, but I don’t think that’s the case here.

[dorisdear]

Positive.  It’s just a little scratch.

[secretagentperri]

If you’re sure. How did you get it?

[katandmowse]

Damn it! Hopefully this means that it’ll still work outside the grounds, but I needed it. This is…inconvenient.

[secretagentperri]

What did you need it for?

[aint-no-rat]

No–no, uh.  I’m good.  Don’t worry about it.

You need any help, Illinois?

[secretagentperri]

No. If I did, I would ask for help, not to help someone else.

[dorisdear]

I’m fine.  It’s fine.

[secretagentperri]

Are you sure?

[katandmowse]

[raises the camera and clicks, but nothing happens] This doesn’t make any sense. Unless…unless Rattigan put one of those spells in place that stop all muggle technology from working.

[secretagentperri]

That is incredibly inconvenient, but unfortunately not unsurprising either. This is really getting ridiculous.

[katandmowse]

Not at all. [hands it over] I know we aren’t supposed to have these anymore, but I like all my tools to work, just in case. 

[secretagentperri]

Oh, I understand. I’ve been doing the same thing. [looks at camera and does something tech-y] Try it now.

[katandmowse]

It’s my camera. I’m not sure what happened, but I can’t get it to work. 

[secretagentperri]

Do you mind if I look at it?

[helenalovesmiling-deactivated20]

I’ll be fine, Perri :) just a bit of trouble with the new Charms spell.

[secretagentperri]

Are you sure? 

[merry-quite-contrary]

Yeah could you open this for me? I’m really hungry.

[secretagentperri]

Sure, no problem. -takes the pickle jar-

[secretagentperri]

Do you need some help?

[im-bad-andthats-good]

So do you think Rattigan’s gonna ban music next? I wouldn’t be surprised, although I would be majorly pissed. 

[secretagentperri]

Unfortunately, it’s pretty likely.

[merry-quite-contrary]

Really? You sure I won’t look like a toddler?

[secretagentperri]

No, I think you could pull it off.

[merry-quite-contrary]

I think I might get bangs.

[secretagentperri]

I’m sure that would look nice.
