A Battle of Wits and Weapons

As emergency services arrived, so did the Aurors. By this time, Evan had sent Dobby to Hermione to tell her to come out from the trunk. As she reached Evan's side, the Aurors burst into the home, stepping on more Tetsubushi and falling down. Evan immediately swung is pistol to cover the incoming Aurors and yelled out "Stop or I will shoot!", at which time one of the Aurors fired a stunning spell toward "the muggle", Evan. He immediately rolled and put a round in the shoulder of the Auror. "Stand down or I will shoot!" he repeated. Hermione, in the meantime pulled her wand surreptitiously in preparation for a shield spell.

Emergency services entered the house with guns drawn after hearing the shot. They saw Evan with his handgun pointed at the Aurors, and Hermione by his side. "Emergency services. Put down your weapon, sir!" one of them called out. "Not until these people in red leave the premises. They have not identified themselves, and opened fire on me as soon as they entered." Evan responded. "My name is Midshipman Evan Fenix of the Royal Marines. I called 999 – in fact, they are still on the line!" he continued. Half the Police pointed their weapons at the Aurors and asked them to identify themselves.

A Black-skinned man identified himself as Special Inspector Shacklebolt, attached to the PMs Select Forces. He said he would take over the case from hereon, and asked the police to leave. Neither Evan nor Hermione wanted the Aurors to stay. Evan called out to the police – "Sirs. I would like to request you all to stay. I do not know these people, nor were their actions examples of professionals. Please stay in here with us while I contact my commander". The police stayed, a bit confused, while the Aurors and Mr. Shacklebolt were demonstrably upset. Looking around at the inattentiveness of all the law enforcement personnel (magical and non-magical alike), he called out - "Officer, could you please restrain and contain all the terrorists. They were armed on entry to the premises, and some may still be armed!" Evan demanded. Evan called the Commander and immediately filled him in. Not 30 minutes later, the Commander walked into the residence.

"Report Midshipman!" he yelled at Evan. "Yes, Sir. I was eating dinner with my friend and her family when I heard a disturbance from outside, sir! I immediately sent them to the garage and set up some defenses inside. At the same time I called Emergency Services requesting help. Emergency Services and these red-robed people arrived approximately 10 to 15 minutes after the attack began. By the time they arrived I had all the terrorists down, sir!" Evan replied.

The police and several of the Aurors scoffed, that such a young person could put down over 20 terrorists/Death Eaters by himself. The Commander turned to the Aurors. "Mr. Shacklebolt. We meet again. Please contact your Ms. Bones and Mr. Scrimgeour that their presence is needed at this location immediately. He then looked over the terrorists. He saw their bloody condition: some rolling on the floor, tacks stuck in them; some with knives sticking out of them; some rubbing their bloody eyes; all of them with welts on the hands and faces; and, some with gunshot wounds. Turning to the police he told them to get a paramedic to look after the prisoners.

A minute later, Madam Bones and Chief Auror Scrimgeour arrived. They looked around at the destruction around them, and the live bodies around them. Looking at the Commander, Madam Bones said one word, "Explain". "Madam Bones. I hope that one day we can cross paths under better circumstances. It seems your Death Eater terrorists tried to invite themselves to dinner at this young ladies house. Why, I do not know. However, one of my Midshipmen, Mr. Fenix here, was having dinner with the young lady and her parents at the time.

He got them to safety, then set up some defenses, and then executed said defenses. What you see is the outcome of our training Madam." "You say these people attacked you. Where are their weapons Mr. Fenix?" Madam Bones asked. Evan replied, "They were shooting bolts of light using those sticks that are pile on the countertop. They look like wands. Don't know what the other stuff is, but I put everything I could find on them together on the countertop." Madam Bones turned toward Shacklebolt – "take the wands to Olivander, have him identify the owners of each wand. Perform a priori incantatum on each wand and log the results. Compare the wand owners with whomever we have in this group. I don't want any mistakes or ambiguity, undersoond?" she asked. "Crystal" he replied.
