"We need to go now!" Mr Weasley calls out.
The group of teens hastily left their tent, leaving their possessions behind in a rush of panic. They were jostled and shoved by other fleeing individuals who were also trying to evade the looming danger.
"Get to the portkey everyone and stick together!" Mr Weasley shouts. "Fred, George! Ginny is your responsibility"
Reyna's eyes were locked onto the three people that were floating in the air. A man, a woman and a young boy. All of them were screaming but the woman's screams get louder when she is turned upside down, revealing her underwear to all who were looking at them. It was a sick way of humiliating the poor woman and Reyna wasn't going to run away from it now that she had seen it. The witch wastes no time in darting forward, pushing through the crowd that was running in the opposite direction.
"REYNA!"
"REYNA, COME BACK!"
Despite the shouts directed at her, the witch remains focused, her wand tightly grasped within her hand. Suddenly, Reyna's attention is drawn to a blazing ball of fire soaring towards them. The witch's swift movements are like a blur as she flicks her wand upwards, causing a deluge of water to extinguish the fiery threat.
"Depulso!"
Purple light bursts from Reyna's wand, slamming into one of the death eaters who was at the front of the group. The figure crashes back into the other death eaters, all of whom had their attention locked on the witch.
Reyna flicks her wand once again and the three trapped figures descend to the ground, landing gently on their feet. The death eaters turn and point their wands at the trio and Reyna is quick to step in front of them, her wand raised defensively as the sobs of the young boy fill her ears.
"Walk away Reyna Ravenswood and you will live to see another day,"
"I would but I don't listen to orders," Reyna shrugs. "Especially from bullies"
A red spell fires towards Reyna who flicks her wand before she turns to the family, shouting at them to run. The family doesn't hesitate to obey, running to blend into the fleeing crowd.
"Also my name isn't Reyna Ravenswood," The witch informs the group. "It's Lupin"
"Are you ashamed of me, daughter?"
"Hello Marianne," Reyna sneers at Marianne Ravenswood. "It's been a long time"
"It's a shame we're not here for a cosy catch up,"
"Never going to happen,"
Reyna raises her left hand and Marianne watches as the fire from the tents begins to travel towards her daughter. A slight flicker of fear passes across Marianne's face as Reyna's eyes glow orange. The witch's runes glow gold as she launches her hand forward, sending the flames straight at the death eaters who are quick to scatter. Some of them even disapparate from the scene.
"Impressive," Marianne hums. "You truly are my daughter"
"You gave birth to me," Reyna sneers. "Doesn't make you a mother"
Marianne fires a spell at her daughter who deflects it, quickly returning a spell of her own. The battle was intense, spells firing back and forth. Reyna throws her wand forward, a jet of red light striking Marianne in her chest and the woman is sent soaring backwards.
"Don't underestimate me again," Reyna sneers. "Next time my face may be the last thing you ever see"
Reyna swiftly pivots on her heels and sets off in pursuit of her comrades, her vibrant locks of ember-coloured hair moving in synch with her feet hitting the ground. Meanwhile, Marianna Ravenswood seethes with frustration as she watches the figure of her daughter disappear into the distance.

Reyna's eyes scan the crowds, trying to spot any familiar faces. But deep in her heart, she knew that she was only searching for one face in particular.
"REYNA!"
The witch turns at the shout before George Weasley slams into her, wrapping his arms around her tightly. Reyna relaxes in his embrace as the events of the night fade away, the protective hold making her feel safer.
"What the hell were you thinking?" George snaps at her.
"I saw her," Reyna informs the wizard.
"Who?"
"Marianne,"
George's previous anger at Reyna's recklessness is washed away by a feeling of pure shock. The wizard opens his mouth to speak but words fail him. Reyna crosses her arms over her chest, waiting for the shock to pass.
"What happened?"
"Obviously, I sent her flying into a burning tent," Reyna's tone was casual, not a single care about what she did.
"That's my girl,"
As George grins at her, Reyna can't deny the small flutter she feels at his words and the smile that was directed at her.
