Tainted Feast (Anora)

[Guest]

Philip apparated in front of the mudblood's house, clenching his jaw. She was gonna try to pull a neat trick on him. Having Stephan really helped at times. That old bastard was all someone needed to get any kind of information. As he looked at the door, his wand slid down to his hand. He knocked on the door slightly, pointing his wand at it. Once the wretched woman pulled the door open, she'd fly....miles!

[Guest]

Anora rose from her desk as she had been simply getting some paper work done at home and truth be told she hadn't been feeling to terrible great for a bit so today was her day off. She went over to the door and looked through the peep hole. Mighty hand accessory in her opinion and this day she was glad she had one. For on the other side of her was Philip Malfoy and looking none too pleased. She inwardly cursed, he must have discovered her somehow... She has to contact Moody, if Philip didn't kill her Moody would for not sending for help.. So she backed away from the door "Coming" she called and she turn to her owl giving the creature her seal and Whispered "Moody" The Creature flew away in search of the Auror.

Anora turned her attention to the door and pointed her wand at it.. since he had the decency to knock, my as well greet him Properly..

"Confringo!"

[Guest]

Philip growled as the little 'coming' just irritated him even more. As the door was blasted open, the little spell got Philip agitated. He nearly fell backwards, as he cast a protective shield. It broke apart as soon as the curse hit it as Philip growled. He had been forced to get on his knee, but that wouldn't stop him. As he looked at the auror with rage, he turned into a shadow, entering through the house at full force. He didn't care what he broke or destroyed, but he was aiming at the auror non the less...she was the only one he wanted to destroy.

[Guest]

Anora swore as she saw him turn to shadow and go straight towards her, she has to stop him if she were to survive this.. No he wanted her dead, she had to stay alive, if she could do that she would attack later. He was in a shadow form not many conventional spells could nail that. Without anymore hesitation she cast a bright light to mask her Retreat. Then in hope it would slow him down she fired another Confringo in his direction. Her house be damned for all she cared.. her life was on the line. And this was her mistake.. Moody had been right.. Merlin she hated it when he was right all time...

She found a place for a little cover and keep her eye on the mad man in her living room. If this was her day off who needed work?

[Guest]

As a blinding light erupted from Anora's wand, Philip closed his eyes, and started flying much closer to the floor. As the confringo passed right next to him, he crashed to the floor, as the walls shook slightly. Philip growled, standing up once more. "You wanna play? I'm not in the mood to play games!" Philip pointed his wand towards the ceiling, and created a lasso of fire. It expanded into a full globe of fire, and then, with one swift cut in the air with his wand, the fire exploded to the sides, throwing fireballs at whatever was moving. Philip was in the middle, always moving his wand so the fire would be renewed instantly, and Anora could be caught. The fire started to fill the house, and one more explosion could tear it apart. But Philip was focused on killing that woman...nothing else.

[Guest]

Anora winced, but bit back any yelp that would have come from her throat as she was caught by some of the blazing fire the Philip whipped around the house. I only she has her auror robes on and not normal muggle clothes this would not have been so bad. Her shoulder seared at the burn, but there was little she could do with it now unfortunately. "Neither am I, Avada Kedavra!" She shouted in his direction, hoping she got lucky. This was her first time using the deadly unforgivable curse, but she has no qualms on not killing Malfoy.. at all. If it missed she hopped the support of house collapsed on him..

[Guest]

Philip shrugged as the killing curse came his way. He turned into his shadow form once more, as the fire slowly dispersed. The curse passed close to him, but not close enough to even graze him. "Mudbloods using these curses now? How amusing..." Philip said, casting the disarming charm from the shadows, before diving in to blast Anora against the ground. It'd only shake the foundation of the house even more, but Philip didn't care if it came crashing down...

[Guest]

Anora was finding Philips cockiness very annoying and that shadow trick he did even more so. No wonder the aurors had such a hard time of it when fighting this guy. "Yeah Mudbloods can be bitches to.." She growled as her home started to fall apart. "How'd you figure me out Malfoy?" she asked curious how he had found her out. "I thought Our little chat went well." she said as she defected the disarming charm. There was no way she would have her wand lost to this maniac, she lost her wand she would die.

However he did manage to blast her to the ground and she could have sworn she heard a audible crack near her shoulder and soon the pain came.. yes she had broken something. She clenched her jaw holding the pain in and tried roll away, wand aimed at Philip..

[Guest]

Philip licked his lips, as the woman fell prey to his attack. As she pointed her wand at him, he merely grinned. She should've learned by now he was far stronger than those normal criminals aurors went after. "Someone sold you out," he said only, as he landed once more. The ceiling above the two was beginning to collapse and Philip was liking what he was hearing. You pulled this trick on me, time to pull it on you, he said, pointing his wand at Anora. He cast Lumos Solem, before pointing at the ceiling. "Reducto!" He stated, making a round movement with his wand. The ceiling suddenly opened in a flash, and the wreckage came down. But not on Philip. He simply turned into a shadow once more, bursting out of the house through a window.

[Guest]

Anora took in the bright flash of light and the fact the ceiling was falling on her, she would have to deal with Malfoy after, as the wreckage dropped, she cast a spell to deflect it away from her body. She would not die this day, she couldn't give the monster the satisfaction of knowing killed her by merely dropping her house on her.. Someone sold her out? Well Obviously.. But who?

As the remaining wreckage fell around her, Anora rolled to her side and looked around to make sure to bloody bastard wouldn't do that shadow trick on her again. She tried to stand and winced as she did so. More or less her upper body took a beating, she has a head wound that was bleeding and making her dizzy, her left shoulder was still seared by the fire ball, and she just knew her right collar bone was broken..

"Least ya aint dead Rosemen.." she muttered to herself as she to pulled herself out of the wreckage, though her injuries made it difficult to move at all. She had just made it out the back when the rest of her poor little house fell in ruin. Anora let out a breath, her wand in her left hand as she couldn't move her right. She still remained on guard wondering if Malfoy left her for Dead or not.

[Guest]

As the house collapsed, Philip wet his lips, looking around the neighborhood. People'd come to see what it was all about soon, so he'd have to finish it soon as well. He turned into his shadow form, flying over the house, as he looked over at the woman. Anora was still alive. Not for long! Philip pointed his wand at the auror as he passed by her, "Avada Kedavra!" He shouted, as the green curse exited the tip of his wand, and the shadow disappeared into the sky.

[Guest]

Alastor stormed the skies, rage erupting from his eyes. He couldn't bear to let Anora be hurt, but he couldn't get the whole auror department on alert. He was gonna take care of it himself, and make the Minister tremble herself. Philip crossed the line, and Alastor was gonna make sure Anora was fine. As he arrived, and the killing curse made its way to his woman, Alastor's white mist form grabbed Anora softly, and pulled her away from her former position, letting curse hit the floor.

[Guest]

Anora heard the infamous spell and the green light that is made, she wanted to move out if the way, roll or do anything but she couldn't due to her injuries. Then the strangest feeling of being carried away rather gently in white mist.. She knew that presence anywhere.. "Alastor?.."she muttered her head wound making it difficult for her to focus.. and was making her feel ill.

He has saved her just time from the look of it, yet this also meant she let him down.. Merlin damn it she hated it, Malfoy found her in the end.. and before what she got could do a lick of good..

[Guest]

Alastor saw the shadow disappear, and cursed. He got away. Once again. And this time, Moody wasn't the one damaged. As the mist landed on the house next to Anora's, Moody slowly set his lover down. He took a look at the wreckage close by, and clenched his jaw. Without tilting his head back to Anora, he asked, "What happened? How were you discovered?" His tone for once showed worry, not disappointment.

[Guest]

Despite the pain she was in Anora took a deep breath to tell Moody what must have happened or what she believed happened. "He must know someone in the ministry, still managed to recognise me.. you were right..He said someone Sold me out, but I can't believe that since the only ones who knew the plan were Jericho and you." She said pain in her voice but keeping it under wraps considering everything. She couldn't believe either of them betrayed her and she wouldn't, it still proved the Philips inside source was close to them and knew her face well enough, even with the appearance modification she did.

[Guest]

Moody narrowed his eyes, as a suspect passed by his head. "Yes, he definitely knows someone..." He stated bitterly, clenching his jaw once more. It was either Stephan or Thane. No other person would be able to know Anora so well. And Jericho'd never betray her. Or Alastor for that matter. With a flash, Alastor's thoughts switched, as he looked over at Anora's body. "Are you hurt?" It sounded like a stupid question, but anyone knew when Alastor asked it, he was asking if there were big injuries. He was no fool. Asking stupid questions only made people waste time...

[Guest]

Anora sighed, they would figure it out she was sure, the list of suspects was more limited now. As the question if she was hurt and she looked away. "Nothing life threatening Alastor, But they should be taken care of.. " She muttered, knowing she had a concussion, a broken collarbone, and a nasty burn that covered most of her shoulder. Then there was this case of nausea... but she had that before this, the concussion was not helping with it though.

[Larissa Travers]

Larissa Travers just arrived home from work at the hospital when she saw smoke out her window, "What on earth?" she muttered as she went to see what was going on. She saw to people out on her lawn and the woman appeared injured.

"What in merlin's name happened?" She asked as she neared the couple, "Can I help?" she offered, she was still in her healers robes so it was obvious she could help from a medical standpoint. She recognised Anora under all the blood and ashes and looked concerned. "Anora? Merlin..." being a healer she took in every injury but it could be that she looked worse then she was..

[Guest]

Alastor tilted his head to the woman who had arrived, as he lifted an eyebrow. "If you can help, do so, if not, step aside." he stated with his usual bitter tone. Having people cause commotion or bring a huge crowd along with them would just bring unwanted attention over to Alastor and Anora. And that was unnecessary. "Can you help or not?" he asked, grinding his teeth, and looking around. He was glad he was unable to spot anyone...

[Larissa Travers]

Larissa examined her neighbor and looked over at her partner and nodded " Yes I can help, I am a healer at Mungo's" she explained As she conjured a stretcher for Anora and looked back at Alastor. "Come should get her inside, and treat her there, her injuries aren't to terribly severe" She want to save them the trip of going to Mungos and doing the paper work and the waiting.. it would do them no good.

Anora looked at Alastor, "She can help Alastor.. I know her" she said quietly the injury to her head making her sleepy.

Larissa nodded "Alright introductions later, lets get you mended up" she said not wishing to waste time. Anora injuries were not sever, yet.. if left untreated the head injury would be bothersome. She started to move Anora inside, assuming Alastor would come with them, since he seemed very protective.

[Guest]

Alastor didn't say a word, trusting Anora's word only. She knew the woman, and as long as she though she could help, Alastor'd let her help. But he would be dammed if he wasn't there watching. He wasn't about to let anyone stay alone with Anora, since he didn't even know that woman. He trusted Anora, not Larissa. However, he would get the woman enough space to treat his girlfriend. He wouldn't want to be a burden above all else either. So he simply followed them, keeping a close eye on Anora's neighbor.

[Guest]

Anora was taken into Larissa's bedroom and lay on the bed where Larissa got to work on her with her own potions she kept at home. Her mind was a little blurry with her head wound even after Larissa treated it she was dizzy.

Her Shoulder was soon soothed as well as her collarbone, all on the mend. Yet she still felt.. off. She rubbed her hand over her eyes for a moment a sure sign she was still feeling out of it.. and it didn't make sense she was normally... stronger than this. "Larissa.. I might need a bucket.." she said feeling like she might throw up yet she felt embarrassed to admit it with Alastor right there in the room.

Larissa conjured a bucket brought it over to Anora "Oh course Ann right here" She said bringing it close to her though she was concerned and started doing diagnostics to see what else was wrong. She blinked for a moment when she found something, that could explain it..

"Anora.. How have you been feeling lately before this?" She asked her neighbor.

[Guest]

Alastor watched as that Larissa girl healed Anora. It seemed, that she had actually done a pretty good job. But Moody understood something was still off with Anora. He raised an eyebrow as Larissa gave her a bucket. At the sound of question, he rubbed his forehead with his index finger and his thumb, before shooting Larissa a glare. "Woman, you know what's wrong with her, so just say it..." he said, with a growl.

His reputation was widely known, and those who paid attention to the details of his reputation, would understand Moody was not a patient man. Not at all...

[Larissa Travers]

Larissa bit her lip at the urging to say what was the matter and found this situation rather awkward. With how protective to burrly Auror was she was starting to suspect he was more then just Anora's boss. "I want to make sure first" she replied as a counter. Unlike Alastor, in times that were not urgent she had all the patience in the world. "Anora?.." she said again for an answer.

Anora for her part sighed since she hated to admit she had been feeling unwell, but it was never very bad.. just an annoyance. " Perhaps I had some nausea, but it never affected my work.." She said shaking her head. She wasn't the type of woman to stay home just because of a "tummy ache".

Larissa tilted her head and took a breath.. "Anora I believe you might be...pregnant." She said revealing her diagnosis as her eyes traveled to Moody. " Are you two?.." she wanted to say if they were together it would explain alot.

Anora for her part looked shocked, could have sworn her heart stopped, and was watching Moody for his reaction.

[Guest]

Alastor's eyes widened, as he literally just sat down. He sat down on whatever was behind him. He didn't even have time to look back, it was as if he had just fallen into the chair. How could he even react...

Pregnant... he thought, looking to the floor. He put a hand on his chin, and the other one covering his eyes. This is awful... he thought. In a way, he was actually loving the fact he was gonna have children. But, what if someone found out. Alastor had made quite a large number of enemies along the years. "She's my woman..." he said, lifting his head from his hands, and standing up.

"Are you sure she's pregnant?" he asked, taking a long and deep breath.
