Snape deflected the clumbsy death eaters spells as he caught up to his fellow professor and watchecd the person fall and Flitwick send small mice, and what not ar him, at him. Having a uneasy feeling of being watched by unseen eyes looked around quickly at an place where someone could hide. Snape had over the years learned that he always had to be on guard. Something that looked somewhat silvery and out of place caught his eyes a distance behind the fallen man in the cover of shadows made by the woods.
Making to shoot another spell at the fallen man he aimed for what appeared to be an acomplice in the shadows behind him and yelled, "Stupefy!"

Juliette raced across the grass ahead of Professor Flitwick and aimed her wand at the attacker once more. "Flurrifikus!" she yelled sending a dozen fist sized ice balls flying at the attacker. As she continued to run yet another spell shot past her as Professor Snape had now arrived on scene as well. "Stupefy!" Juliette yelled as she continued to close in on the attacker.

Bellatrix watched as the professors began to close in on Crabbe. Taking a few steps to her right, she easily dodged a spell that looked too much like it had been aimed at her. As Crabbe turned round he set down his wand to look at his injured ankle. Perfect! "Accio wand!" Bellatrix said as she stepped towards Crabbe and caught his wand in her hand. "Hurt your ankle did you? Don't worry, it won't hurt much longer!" She said as she grinned at him while aiming both wands at Crabbe. "The dark lord doesn't like failure, nor does he forget past mistakes. YOU failed to kill that Granger girl. That is unacceptable, even for someone as stupid as you! Don't worry though, your family will be taken care of when you're gone. Or should I say, your family has already been taken care of!" Bellatrix filled the air with a hysterical laugh as she watched Crabbe's face. "Oh don't be surprised Crabbe, I'm sure when you're dead your family will be there to tell you what happened. But in case they are stupider than I previously thought, I'll let you know. Your boy is dead, the big oaf cried like a little girl too, worst display I've ever seen in a victim. Now your wife, Narcissa Malfoy killed her this evening, just after you left for Hogsmeade." Grinning at him, Bellatrix knelt down in beside him. "Any last words?" she said as she aimed both wands at his head.

Holding his ankle he looked at the wound. "Stupid Rat Broke the Skin!" he shouted as he reached for his wand he sat next to him. Patting the ground he couldnt find it. Turning he saw Bellatrix standing by him as she held his and her wand straight for his head. "The Dark Lord wouldn't have trusted me with another task if he didnt belive I could do it! This is wrong!" he started rambing on.
Bellatrix started to say how his sun was killed and also his wife. Shaking his head he looked back at her with no expression on his face. "No... no.." he said as he didnt know what to say or think at the time. He was defenceless to her since he had his wand. He sat unarmed and scared as he stared at the tips of the two wands looking right at him.

Bellatrix again laughed at Crabbe's stupidity. "The dark lord DOESN'T trust you anymore! That is why I had to come on this mission. You'd simply screw up again! AVADA KEDAVRA!" Bellatrix screamed and hit Crabbe in the head with green bolts from both wands. "Stupid idiot!" Bellatrix said as she snapped Crabbe's wand and threw it at his body. She then aimed her own wand into the air and sent up the dark mark that lit up the night sky.
Looking back to the school, the professors were very close now. "Time to go!" She thought as she sent several red bolts flying towards the teachers as she ran back into the woods to her escape. Sprinting down the tree's path and through the tunnel, Bellatrix soon arrived back in Hogsmeade. Then with a loud *POP* she apparated away.
--------
Bellatrix re apparated in her den and immediately sat down in front of the fireplace. Soon a pair of dark eyes appeared in the flames. "Is it done?" a voice hissed. "Nearly my lord" Bellatrix answered. "I've killed two of the girls, the boy and his sister were not 6th years like your informant said, they are 7th years and I was unable to find them. Crabbe and his boy are dead though, and a number of students."
For a moment there was silence before the voice answered. "Very well, you have done well. When I return to power you will be well rewarded for your loyalty. Now I must go and deal with our informant on the matter of false information."
"Thank you my lord" Bellatrix replied as the dark eyes faded away.

Filius saw two green lites from the attacker, but none were sent to the teachers. Wondering what happened he walked closer to the attacker. His attention was brought to the sky. The Dark Mark was boldly lit in the air above the vast lawns and some of the forest. Looking back at the attacker he seemed motionless on the ground. Deciding to get closer to the intruder he held his wand at ready as he inched closer.
Reaching less than a yard away the body still was motionless on the ground. With a swoop of his wand the attacker's body rolled over onto his back. "Dear Merlin!" He said. "He's Dead!" he yelled as he put his hand in the air for the other teachers to come forth to see who it was. Shaking his head, Filius said, "Its Crabbe Sr.. He wouldnt kill himself, someone was with him." He said in a low tone for only the teachers around him to hear.

Snape fallowed Filius over to the fallen Deatheater. Looking around Snape no longer saw the other person who was ahead of Crabbe Sr. at Filius' announcement of him being dead and how he must of had an acomplice he wasn't surprised on either acount.
"By now I don't believe we'll be able to catch his 'partner' or rather expartner by the looks of it." Scanning the woods once again he turned towards the other professors. "But I have a feeling if we talk to certain students we might be able to get a name for the other attacker, don't you think?" Snape commented his mind already running over a list of names most of which were from his house,not surprising.

Albus ran down the stairs to the school grounds. Ahead there was the attacker making a run for safety and several Professors were in pursuit. Soon Professor Flitwick called the others over. Laying on the grass was Crabbe Sr. A rustling noise was heard in the woods ahead. Dumbledore quickly took out a slip of parchment and wrote a note. "Fawkes" he called and the phoenix flew down to his shoulder. "Find Minerva and Pomona" he said as he tied the note to Fawkes leg. Once attached, Fawkes flew off. "Xiomara, please return to the Great Hall, Minerva and Pomona will meet you there, the students will have many questions I'm sure. Tell them only what they need to know for now, I will be there shortly. Severus, please go to the dungeon and check on the Slytherins, bring them all to the common room. Juliette and Fillius, there was a second attacker, I believe they have escaped in the woods. I want you two to search the woods, there must be another passageway that we are unaware of."

Hearing Dumbledore tell him to go check on his Slytherin's and bring them to the great hall Snape nodded and turned to head quickly back to the school and down to the dungeons.

Juliette dodged the spell that was sent her way and again aimed her wand. Sending another red bolt at the attacker she thought she hit the suspect as the person dropped down low to the ground. Cautiously she advanced with the other professors. Fillius was in the head, a good 30 feet ahead of her. With her wand ready she watched Fillius flip the body over and pronounce that the person was dead. "Dead?" Juliette asked as she walked over to the person.
Listening to Dumbledore's instructions, Juliette slowly walked into the woods by the lake. "Lumos" she said to get more light to begin the search. Slowly she began to poke and turn over every shrub and rock she came across, looking for any passageway.

Filius stood by Crabbe Sr's body. Looking into the forest the second attacker might still be around. Stepping toward the forest a red bird caught his eye from the sky. Fawkes flew over to Juliette, Severus, and himself with three different letters. Snape took his first and Filius took his second. Ripping open the letter he read it. -Searchin in the forest, there was a Second attacker, Might still be in there.- he comprehended as he folded up the letter. Tightening his grip on his wand he looked over at Juliette and walked into the forest.
Low branches werent a problem for him, unlike most other people. Keeping his eyes on watch he looked for any movment in the forest. A few feet head of him he noticed there was a small dirt path. "There is a path up here." he said to Juliette as he walked ahead on to the path. Following it it ended at a large tree with a massive trunk. Walking around it he tapped it as he listened to see if it was hollow or not. A sound, sounded like a tree was breaking in half. Watching the tree it begain to form a divit or a hole in the base. "A portal." looking at Professor Vector he said as he pushed his glasses on his face. "Or a means of arriving or leaving Hogwarts.
Looking back at the tree he decided it would be best if he went inside to see what it is. Stepping into the tree it was formed like a slid. Sliding down the long portal he reached the bottom. Very dark and Dirty he pointed his wand and said. "Lumos!" as the tip of his wand lit. Yelling up the slid he said. "Juliette, Come Down. I think this is the way the accomplice went!" Turning around he checked his surroundings. Looking on to the dirt floor he saw many foot prints. Thinking to himself he thought, "This could be a popular means of transportation for someone." scratching his head he waited at the base for Professor Vector to come down the slid.

Juliette was searching a group of rocks when she heard Fillius call out that he had fuond something. Walking over she saw the large tree begin to split open and reveal a large hole. Waiting at the top as Fillius went down into the tree she kept her wand at the ready. When the signal was given she too went down into the tree.
At the bottom she found a dirt path with many footprints, this obviously was a well worn path, but where did he lead to? With her wand held in front of her she continued in the tunnell until they came to some steps. Climbing up the stairs they soon emerged in some woods. To the south there appeared to be many lights. Walking through the trees as quietly as she could, Juliette soon reached the edge of the trees and in front of her was the village of Hogsmeade.
"Over there!" she heard someone shout and soon she saw several people running towards her. "Ministry of Magic! Throw down your wands! You're under arest!" Slowly Juliette lowered her wand and stepped out from the trees. "I'm Professor Juliette Vector from Hogwarts, the school was attacked, we've got one of the attackers at the school and we were chasing the other one, they might have come in through Hogsmeade."
"Lower your wands" A deep voice said as one Auror stepped forward. "Sorry professors, I'm Kingsley Shacklebolt, we've had an attack here as well. Well, I hate to say it, but we're kind of glad you are here. We uhh, need you to identify some bodies that we think are your students. One of you can come with me, the other can go with Tomplin, the students are in two different places."
With a heavy sigh, Juliette followed Tomplin down the streets and behind the Hog's Head. Several other Ministry workers were standing over a body as a medic tried to revive a girl with potions. Walking over to the girl Juliette knelt down and looked at the girl. Slowly nodding her head she stood back up. "She's Melantha Aradia, a 7th year Slytherin."
Juliette then followed the aurors back to the center of the town where she awaited the return of Fillius.

Filius saw Juliette come down the tree. Following her throught the tunnel. After a few minutes Filius and Juliette reached stairs. Walking up the short stairs they arrive in a grove of trees. Walking through The Ministry found them. Quickly after Prof. Vector indroduced herself so did Filius. "I am Filius Flitwick, a Professor from Hogwarts also."
Listening to the man named Kingsley Shacklebolt. Professor Vector went off with another person when he was left with Kingsley. "Alright, where is this person?" he asked as he lead Filius in to a pet store. Walking over fallen shelves they made there way to the back of the shop. Seeing a crowd of people around a small body Kingsley said, "Do you know who this is?" Filius walked closer to the body as he reconised the girl. "Its Cassie Harper. She is a fourth year Hufflepuff." He shook his head as he saw her body. Walking back to the place where he left ealier he met Juliette there.

In short time, Fillius returned. "They found Melantha Aradia behind the Hog's head." She began. "I think we should get back to the castle, the aurors have Hogsmeade under control, we should report what we've found to Dumbledore." Walking down the street they soon reached the gates that led to Hogwarts and through the gate they went to the castle.

Filius shook his head as Juliette told him about Melantha. "Well they found Cassie Harper in a Pet shop. They are trying to revive her but.. from the looks of it its a lost cause." he frowned as he listened to Juliette say that they should go back to the school. "Yes, quite agree. Ministry has it in control here." Turning Filius walked to the gates of Hogsmeade and started to walked back to the school.
Reaching the school Filius walked up the stone front stairs and into the Main hallway. Three owls flew over head as they seemed to be sending urgent messages. Taking out his wand he flicked it twice as a school Owl appeared in front of him. Taking a peice of parchment out of his pocket he began to write.
--
Headmaster Dumbledore. Professor Vector and I both found something in the forest. There was a large tree which split and revealed a hole inside. Following it through it lead to a tunnel into Hogsmeade. The Ministry found us when he were in the town and told us we needed to identify a few people. Two students seem to be dead. Melantha Aradia and Cassie Harper. No one seems to know how they died but I suspect it was the same people who came into the school.
Signed,
Filius Flitwick.
