Surrounded

Darius's guess is correct. Immediately from their surroundings appeared people with black robes and wands in hand. They have been surrounded. There were so many wizards at Wilbury School and Darius couldn't possibly face them all.

"Leave Charlotte to us," said Natasha White.

Her body began to glow reddish, as did her wand.

"What should we do?" Talisa whispered.

"We have to fight," said Darius.

Before Talisa could say anything, Darius suddenly ran very fast and with his hands, he shot fireballs at the feet of the sorcerers while carrying Charlotte. Seeing what Darius was doing, Talisa immediately ran after Darius.

"Don't expect to run away from us!" cried Natasha White.
