the only name on my list (casey)

[Deleted]

Masin was in the library when she heard a loud scream suddenly fill the aisles. She was up in seconds, wand in hand, turning toward the sound. At first she didn't see anybody... until the rumbling stated and a mass of students burst past her, turning back in horror. Something bad was happening and Masin was ready for it. She immediately shifted into 'Head Girl' mode, running out to join the students with a calm and collected air, determined. She took the hand of the closest student to her, "what's happening?" she asked. The student shook their heads, "masked people attacking the castle!" he sad before ripping his hand out of hers and running the other direction.

Masin whipped around just in time to see them. Dark brown cloaks, strange masks... one of them pointed at her. "Masin DeLisle. She's one of them," they said. Masins eyes widened and she took one step back, two, before finally remembering how to run.

as students were running out of the castle, casey finnigan was running back inside. he shouldered his way past a few students, yelling over their panic and telling them where to go. what to do. he didn't think he'd have much of a voice left after this. he kept going. he was the head boy. it was part of his job to keep the students of hogwarts safe, if not the title didn't really mean much. he helped a small first year to her feet, brushed her off and told her to follow the other students, that if she did that she should be okay. he watched her tear stained face nod and as she turned to run with the other students again he felt a stab of guilt for not going with them. he had no idea what they were running into but he needed to find out what they were running from. if it had sparked a mass panic like this well, it can't have been good. he got up from the floor, his head looking around and then he saw her. masin. just standing there looking at .. then he saw them. masked and in dark cloaks. eerily like what they had been told about from the previous war. he made a beeline for masin. pulling out his wand in the process as he heard one of them say her name. blood boiled up inside him and he aimed his wand at the masked figure. "stupefy!" he cast, watching the spell knock one of them back and he turned and ran as masin started to, grabbing her hand in his as they did.

"Casey," Masin breathed as they tore down the library, hand in hand. Masin felt terrible about what she did next. "Bombarda!" she shouted and a book shelf exploded behind her, causing the books and wood to fly at their attackers.

She held his hand tightly as they turned a corner, almost out of the library. "They want specific people Casey. They want me. What's going on?" she asked in a panicked voice. As if Casey would know all the answers.

They burst from the library into the hallway where even more students were running about. But these were scattered. Masked figures had been waiting outside the door, ready to snatch up anyone who happened to be in their list. "Petrificus Totalis" one of them called aiming at her.

"They want specific people Casey. They want me. What's going on?" casey squeezed her hand. wishing that he had all the answers for her and he could tell her what was going on and why but he couldn't. all he could do was try and get her out safe and they'd figure it out together. work together to do their jobs. they had to. he was about to answer her, to let her know that everything would be okay as they burst through the doors to the library and almost straight into those people in masks that seemed to be waiting for people. hearing the spell someone cast at masin he raised his wand, flicking it in the air and cast a shield charm in front of the two of them which did it's job and blocked the spell. he wrapped his arm around her waist, moving to pull her closer and hold her to him as he flicked his wand again. "accio armour!" he cast, watching the suit of armour that had been standing by the library door crash into the person who had cast the spell, knocking them to the ground. "your wand masin, use it!" he said to her with urgency as he watched a few of the masked men raise their wands at her again. "alarte ascendare" he cast at one of them, watching the spell hit the middle of his chest and sent him flying into the air. he kept his eyes off the rest of them he missed one wave his wand at him. he was hit with the stunner. the red stream hitting him in the shoulder and he faltered, almost dropping his wand as he moved to let go of masin. "r-run"

"I AM using it!" she shouted, sending another attacker flying with a nonverbal flipendo spell. A loud crack echoed as the masked person made contact with a pillar. She flinched, tightening her grip on his hand as he sent one flying himself. Suddenly a burst of red sped toward them, "CASEY!" she called, trying to push him aside but to no avail. He was hit and faltered, telling her to run. "No, no. I'm not leaving you," she said, trying to pull Casey along with her. She growled, pointing her wand over his head, "serpent sortia![i/]" she shouted, sending a snake right into the face of an attacker who screamed as the creature went straight for his eyes.

She turned back to Casey, slapping his cheek as to make sure he didn't pass out, "I'm not losing you Casey Finnigan, and you're not losing me," she said, a dark seriousness passing through her eyes. In a split second a sharp pain graced her thigh and she let out a cry.

"I'm not losing you Casey Finnigan, and you're not losing me," he looked up at her, felt her tapping on his cheek and he tilted his head into it for almost a split second. this was not the time to revel in her touch. he shifted his head slightly but before he could answer her someone cast a spell and he heard her cry out. he reached his arm out, his hand touching her back as he tried to stay on his feet. the effects of the stunner just starting to wear off. he gripped wand, turned his head to cast behind him toward the floor and the people in masks. "glacius!" he watched the ice spread over the floor, under the feet of the masked men and they struggled to keep their footing much less cast spells at him and masin. it would only last a few moments, he knew that much. he had to act now to keep her safe. "i'm sorry masin" he said as he shifted toward her quickly to kiss her before he cast the same spell under her own feet, raising his wand to make the spell make a slipper path out of the hall they were in. "i like you a lot delisle .. remember that" he said, not knowing if this would be the last he'd see of her and he swallowed quickly, glancing behind him to watch them melting the ice. he turned his head back to masin. "stay safe" he said as he made to push her along the ice, hoping that she went with it and didn't fight him on it. as he used one hand to try and send her sliding away from the danger she was in, he raised his wand at one of the supporting beams in the hall. "carpe retractum" he cast, watching the red rope shoot from his wand and fix itself to te beam. when masin was out of the way he'd pull it down behind her, hopefully blocking their path to her.

He was kissing her. Then she was too stunned to move as he confessed liking her before pushing her. It was too late to fight back and she was sliding away from him. "Casey- CASEY, NO!" she shouted as she saw him lift the wand for the beam to fall in between them. No doubt the attackers would take him away, or kill him, or whatever else they were planning to do with her.

She knew the best thing to do was hide, and when the ice stopped and she finally skidded to a halt, she sat in silence for several moments. She took several deep breaths before pushing herself up from the ground, glancing up at the slippery slope and the broken beams behind her. This was it. She could either go back for him, get killed, and her sacrifice would mean nothing or she could hide. She could live through this.

A sob racked her body as she heard another sound down the hallway. She moved quickly, finding somewhere safe while her mind went rampant imagining all the horrible things they could be doing to Casey and the rest of the school...
