SOMEONE TRIED KILLING ME[DORIAN]

[Deleted]

Red sparks shot up out of Althea’s wand as she ran from the front door of her mansion, she was barefoot and in her nightgown. She had been asleep in her bed when she was awoke to a loud screeching sound that she recognized as her Sneakoscops. These ones were enhanced ones however; to ensure they were not over sensitive, they had been a gift long time ago from Dwight. Someone had been in her house and she kept running before turning around as she heard a huge bang. It sounded like an explosion had happened, and her eyes grew wide as she started at part of her house on fire. This is no robbery thought Althea who had at first thought it was people attempting to steal gold and priceless jewels from her, no this was more clear. Someone tried killing her tonight, the fire was coming from her bedroom, where if she had never awoken she might have been just dead. She gasped as she tried to catch her breath part of her wanted to make a run back towards the manor to put the fire out but as soon as she took steps she stopped as a tall figure emerged from the house. She was talented at dueling but, more skilled as a Healer and a Potions then anything. A scream escaped her mouth as the figure took off straight towards her, turning around she took off.

She fired curse after curse that she could think of behind her hoping, she would hit the figure who was trying to kill her. Finally she realized she needed to escape, and attempted to apperate but was unable to. Turning around she saw the figure was still after her, just not as fast, a curse of her’s might have hit him actually. How the hell is my protection charms not broken thought Althea confused and scared as she made a bee line to the front gate of her grounds that led into the woods her house was in the middle of. A swish of her wand the front gates busted open as she made her way into the woods, running through them as she could feel cuts from bushes and branches that she ran into. She turned around but no one was behind her, which she took as a moment to catch her breath. However; it was a mistake as she felt someone grab her from behind and a sharp pain in her arm, struggling she broke free fell the grasp and stumbled away clutching her arm. Then in a tiny pop she was gone, and in the Atrium of the Ministry of Magic. It was extremely late so it was empty but she knew, Aurors would still be in their offices, making her way to the lift.

Looking at her arm she was cut deeply which she started to heal on her own, her night gown was muddy from running in the forest and blood from her arm was on it. Normally she would never look like this in public, she was very stylish and always dressed elegantly, and even her gown was elegant despite, the mud and blood. She stumbled into the Auror offices and fell onto one of the chairs, finally catching her breath and feeling at the moment safe. ”Hello? I need help…someone just tried killing me in my own house. It’s Althea Dido” called out Althea loudly as she waited for an Auror or someone to come around the corner to help. Part of her hoped her saying her name would hurry them up, not only was she Director of St. Mungos but it was known she was an on and off girlfriend of the Senior Undersecretary for the Minister.

Dorian was inside the Ministry tonight gathering some information for Walton who had asked him to come and grab it. The information that he had gathered had been in a secure location, or at least so thought the incompetent Ministry officials. This information was about three people in particular who had been dubbed old man, lapdog, and old hag by Walton. He couldn’t agree with his best friend more. And it just highlighted the times and places that said people had met or done things here in the Ministry. He had also retrieved all additional info from said sensors and what not that the IA had placed within the Ministry of Magic, and said surveillance items were all undetectable except for the members of the IA.

He was currently on the opposite side of the Auror Department when he heard the lift coming down from one of the upper floors. Dorian quickly made his way over to where the lifts were at, while staying in the shadows and moving silently so he would have the element of surprise should it be anyone that wasn’t supposed to be here. ”Hello? I need help…someone just tried killing me in my own house. It’s Althea Dido” Coming to a stop as he saw the woman from afar off. She had multiple cuts and scrapes on her arms legs and face, and the night gown that she wore was splattered with mud and blood. Upon hearing those words come from the woman’s mouth he knew who it was for sure. It was the Director of St. Mungos Hospital. Whom he had talked to few times before when he had stopped by St. Mungos for bringing in injured wizards and witches who had been hurt.

“Althea did you say someone just tried to kill you inside your own home?” Dorian asked as he stepped out of the shadows making his presence known. Before Althea had time to answer his question Dorian pulled out his wand cast a silent patronus charm. A chimera leapt out the end of his wand turned towards Dorian as he bent down and told it who to notify of the incident. Standing up straight he watched as the chimera transformed into a silvery blue ball and sped out of the Ministry. Turning his attention back to Althea he noticed the deep looking cut in her arm that had apparently been healed just recently, no doubt by Althea herself. “I need you tell me exactly what happened tonight. Think you can do that?” Dorian asked Althea as he took out his own wand and began healing the small cuts and scrapes on her arms. It might seem odd to passersby that someone was healing the wounds of the Director of St. Mungos, when said director was capable of doing so. One thing that he made sure to be good at was the art of healing magic, or at least combat/field healing magic, until they could get people to the professionals. Granted all members of the IA were taught these skills, in order to survive. They ended up saving way more lives this way.

She was looking down at her gown disgusted in how it was torn and covered in mud and her own blood, not even the blood her attacker. She was a woman who cared deeply about how she looked which included her hair, makeup, and of course what she wore. Her head snapped quickly in the other direction when she heard someone call her name and repeat if that is what she had just said, that someone had just tried killing her. In her own home. Before she could answer she watched his patrouns leave the Ministry to alert other Aurors she was guessing, she still did not know who the guy was but the voice was familiar. Once she saw his face more however; she remembered him as a bounty hunter named Dorian who she had seen at St. Mungos many times before. ”Yes I am sure that is what I said, this was not some robbery either or just random act. This person was skilled and wanted me dead” said Althea her voice was not shaky with fear but anxiety her heart was still racing from the incident. Her eyes watched him intently as he was healing the cuts on her legs and arms, she was very capable of healing such minor wounds and perfectly without leaving scars. She did like leaving scars or having any, she wasn’t a guy she couldn’t brag about it to get with someone.

”Yes I can do that and Dorian so you know if you leave any scars I’m killing you and it’s going to look like that lovely heart of yours gave out, ok hun?” spoke Althea her tone was pleasant in a humors way but still had the sharp threat in her tone She had no problem telling him what happened however she was starting to think he wasn’t any normal bounty hunter, since he was strolling the Ministry this late. First however; she could not take her night gown looking this way, in a swish of her wand her night gown was cleaned off from the mud and blood and torn parts were sewn back together. ”I was sleeping and got woken up my Sneakoscops went off and this are not the sensitive ones, Dwight gave them to me and enchanted them as well…when I woke up I could hear someone was downstairs so I climbed out my bedroom window to get out. You guys will find my house in ruins now I bet, as soon I escaped my bedroom blew up in flames. I couldn’t apperate my protection charms were still in place which is odd, because someone chased me right after the explosion” spoke Althea her voice staid steady as she looked at Dorian and took a breath before she went on.

”He chased me all the way into the woods where my house is located, I am away from any other houses by myself. I thought I got away because he wasn’t behind me when I turned around and then he grabbed me from behind and cut my arm. Mind you my house is very well protected and under many enchantment’s to avoid such this incident and somehow this man, I am sure it’s a man, got past them with them not broken” spoke Althea she was very freaked out by the fact that she had been unable to apperate from the grounds of her house, that she had to run into the forest to finally been able to escape. Despite all the protections her house property was equipped with they had somehow failed her tonight miserably and almost cost her life. How the hell did this happen thought Althea taking deep breaths to fully gain her composure at some point again.

”Yes I am sure that is what I said, this was not some robbery either or just random act. This person was skilled and wanted me dead” He figured as much, that whoever had done this was skilled at their job, which appeared to be an assassination attempt on the current director of St. Mungos. Now the question was who had the audacity to do such a thing right now. ”Yes I can do that and Dorian so you know if you leave any scars I’m killing you and it’s going to look like that lovely heart of yours gave out, ok hun?” Dorian laughed as he continued healing the cuts and what not on Althea’s arms and legs. “I think that I can live with that and plus I have no intention of leaving scars.” He stated and pointed with his finger to where some cuts had been on her right leg that now looked exactly like nothing had even happened to it. He had healed several cuts and what not on his own body that he knew enough about healing magic to not leave any scars or anything of the sort.

Once he had finished healing her wounds he listened to the account that Althea was giving him at the moment. Once the woman had stopped speaking he cast another patronus, which produced the silvery Chimera yet once again. As the chimera waited for a message to take to Harry Potter and also to Walton, Dorian went ahead and placed the tip of his wand against the side of his head and withdrew an exact copy of the memory that he had of what had just been explained to him and then he got close to the chimera and tapped his wand once and the copy of the memory fell into the chimera’s head “You know who to take that too, and what must be done with it once it has been viewed.” Dorian instructed his patronus. He took a step back and watch the creature leave them.

After turning back towards Althea, “Yes, I do have theory as to how the man or for lack of a better word an assassin got into your house.” He would have continued on but was interrupted by two patronuses, one a tiger that belonged to Walton, and the other a stag. The tiger approached him first, and he knelt down as the message came out in Walton’s voice instructing him to stay here and guard Althea incase said assassin or someone else tried to kill her while here. After the tiger had vanished, the stag stepped forward and said out loud, addressing them both in Harry’s voice. “You will need to find a new place to stay Althea I am afraid the spell that was used destroyed your house, which is nothing but a pile of rubble and ash now. We have found traces of dark magic that was used to destroy your wards and protections, and then it was also used to replace them with others that kept you in unless you ran past the boundaries. Dorian stay with her, you know what to do as I am sure that Reaper has already contacted you.” That was it from the stag which also disappeared.

“Well then it looks like we will be staying here for the time being until someone from the Auror department shows up. I am also sure that they will be doing everything that they can to help you out.” Dorian said in a reassuring tone. “Harry did mention how the wards and protections placed around your house were breached and I am sure that they will be doing all that they can in order to figure out who did this to you.”
