Lucy Rose

Chapter 16

"George! We've got a group coming in on your left!" Sawyer yelled.

"Shit," George swore.

The lights had been blown out and they were fighting blind, their spells illuminating their paths as they left their wands.

The two of them stood back to back, fighting off their opponents.

"Reducto!" A hole was blasted into the wall to their right.

"Fuck!" George swore, yanking Sawyer down for cover.

The knock back force of the explosion knocked them to the ground.

Sawyer groaned, coughing as the dust settled, burning his eyes.

He almost didn't believe it when he saw her.

Her hair, red as ever was shorter than he had ever seen it before, falling right past her shoulders. She was tan...her skin seemed to glow.

It was clear she rushed into the battle with no preparation...she was wearing a purple skirt that brushed the ground and a small tank top.

One of the Weasley brothers was hugging her...Percy.

Sawyer pushed to his feet, she was right there, he had to go see her.

"Sawyer," George said in a panic, "Sawyer, we got to go. Now."

"What?" He looked back at George.

At least two dozen massive spiders were coming there way.

Sawyer grabbed George, yanked him up and took off down the hall.

"Bloody spiders!" His voice raised, "why spiders? Oh, Merlin, I hate spiders. George! Run!"

George looked like he was going to throw up.

"Mate, I think I broke my leg."

Sawyer swore under his breath and lifted George over his shoulder.

"You stun, I run," he said, watching anxiously as the spiders got closer.

George nodded and raised his wand.

"They're going through the hole!" George yelled, "we're good! No more are chasing us!"

"Brilliant," Sawyer gasped, ducking into one of the bathrooms.

He spelled the door shut and placed George down on the tile.

"Where does it hurt?" Sawyer asked.

"My shin," George groaned, pointing to his left leg.

Sawyer nodded, rolling his trousers to his knee.

George's leg was practically snapped in half, purple and swollen.

Sawyer cringed, "George, I don't even know how you managed to walk on this."

"We had bloody spiders chasing us," George laughed, "really didn't have a choice."

"I can't completely fix this right now," Sawyer said, "but I'll do what I can."

"I've got to go back out there," George said, "can you just make it so I can walk on it?"

Sawyer nodded, raising his wand to his leg "Brackium Emendo."

Relief spread on George's face as his bones set back in place.

"I mended the break...you'll be able to walk on it just not for long," Sawyer said, continuing to cast spells for the swelling, "this was the temporary fix, the break was severe, your best bet to prevent any long term problems is to vanish the affected bones and regrow them."
