"That’s no gonna help anythin’.”

[frvnklongbttoms]

“hey, it’s okay, what did you see?” he questioned his tone was light, despite everything happening around them he wanted to make it as easy for them as he could, “let me help?”

days like this didn’t come around very often; those days where there was just something in the air, a little charge ... a little spark ... just waiting to be ignited. and then it is ignited, and you’re beside yourself in delight, because the mayhem that lies before you is missing something, it’s missing a more personal touch. and that is exactly how, as the sun was setting in the formerly sleepy village, amycus could be spotted with a too wide grin, and singed fingertips as he strolled through the streets of hogsmeade, stopping every so often to stoop and set something else ablaze. sometimes, though, to spice it up a little, he stretched instead of stooping, leaving the treetops to scream in the wake of his whispers, and leave that bright, distressed, orangey glow in the cool air to light the scared villagers’ way.

and he had no reason not to greet aiyla with that same smile, either; why shouldn’t amycus share the happiness of the moment. he took a cleansing breath, one which was far too enjoyable (or should’ve been), and stretched his arms, the epitome of a man having a wonderful day. “aiyla, working hard or hardly working?” he asked, unable to help himself, or to stop the laugh that came at his own stupid quip. “what did we do to deserve such a good day? I couldn’t have asked for a better day. what about you, enjoying the festivities?”

the bell rung slow and heavy for a second time with promises of trouble and turmoil as the news reached the minister that the diagon alley apothecary was clear. but how could it be? the information had been checked, research had been done, and they'd been so sure they would find something... but oh! of course, there was still hogsmeade. what better place to hide your crimes than hogsmeade?

the next course of action was not a plan: it was a grumbled barking of orders despite everyone else's warnings, with no one of enough importance in the room to diffuse the bomb that slipped from harold minchum's lips.

they would raid the hogsmeade shop. no preparation, no warning, no coordination — they would justify the hours and manpower put into this investigation, one way or another.

the bell rung a second time and round two was a go. in a quiet office in the ministry of magic, a pair of tired secretaries added another tally to the parchment titled "minchum versus the world". the world, unsurprisingly, had won every round thus far.

from frantic scurrying to panicked barricades, everyone was trying to hide from the sudden onslaught from the ministry, until the ministry itself went dead quiet, leaving them all to pick up after themselves.

out of character:

the event runs from december 12th to december 19th

in summary:

after the failed raid that occurred at diagon alley, the minister of magic, harold minchum, was at his wit's end and scurrying to save his reputation. other reputable names were quick to argue that there needs to be strategy before there’s another hit, but harold minchum had convinced himself that the intel he had gotten hadn’t been false. instead, he felt hogsmeade’s branch was the actual culprit of evidence and hastily sent reinforcements there with full force.

with the quick infiltration of aurors and other prominent ministry workers, store owners began to close their shops and encourage everyone roaming the streets to seek refuge. like diagon alley, the raid closed off means of apparition and floo. except this time... no one knew exactly what was happening? was it an attack? were those aligned with the so-called dark lord roaming the streets?

what came next was a village scared for their lives, people pushing each other, children letting go of their mothers' hands, and everyone wondering if they'd see the sunset for the last time as it disappeared behind the outline of old roofs.

for the characters that could be found in hogsmeade during this attack, quick action needed to be taken. all found that apparition and floo directly within the town was impossible. suddenly, everything just went dark, and outside a few call-ins, the ministry itself became missing in action.

many would try and run back into the stores, others trying to make it out to be able to fly or apparate again. some would even end up stuck within pippins, not knowing there’d be a raid at the hogsmeade branch as well. some... would prepare for a fight that weren't yet sure was coming.
