Animal Instincts

Interlude I: The Dark Lord Lives

Oliver Wood had never been one to invite trouble to his door...not the kind that currently had arrived to it, and he was frankly; he was exasperated and frustratingly annoyed with his twin lovers right now. They had gotten off lightly this time; even for all the curses they had been placed under. He didn't want to think about what would have happened to them both if Harry had not been there to calm the Dark Lord somewhat from his ire, nor if Luna had not been there to be a shield for them.

Both of the twins had landed into the bedroom of their guest house...looking like they had taken quite a beating, and the twins chuckling while pained for the comment as he panicked and they explained what happened more quietly...Oliver internally had his brow ticked in annoyance; he should have known this was their own fault.

He berated them harshly as he gave them as best of medical care as he could for now; though he absolutely refused to react to their baiting. He was furious with them, and they backed off when they computed that. Seeing as Harry would likely not want to be anywhere near them for the foreseeable future unless he had to be. His lovers had made Harry rather skittish and wary of them because of what they did.

Though Oliver wasn't surprised at all to learn of the the Cruciatus effects on them still...even for the potion they'd had. The Dark Lord's curses weren't to be taken lightly, after all. And, the man's bonding and mating to Harry had only made them much more potent and dangerous.

It was about half-way through his minor medical treating; that two huge waves of magic erupted and reverberated over the whole place. Encasing it in a stifling heat that infused and suffused the compound. He shuddered to the intensity of it and to the cover of the darkness in it. As the mana tried to infuse with them all; testing their mana and warming them... all as it was warning them to be careful, so as not to be burnt.

Fred and George had, in fact, suffered some burns to their arms and their wrists. The mana sensed what they had done; it's lingering effects. Proof of exactly how angry Tom was at them, and of how possessive of his mate he could be. How protective of Harry he had become since they had left Britain together.

Everyone inside of the shelter was notified to meet, so they then made their way to the main area of the compound; to await news of what had happened to cause this heatwave of mana, as most there had believed of themselves to be under a raid or attack. The strange thing was; that they heard no sounds above to signify an attack.

Oliver and twins; however, winced to themselves...this might be related to what the twins had done earlier. Actually, Oliver like was pretty much sure that it was and glared at them from the corners of his eyes; to which his twins winced and looked down as they seemed to slump with regret for what they had done now.

Once everyone gathered; they only waited mere moments more.

Luna then practically sauntered herself into the room, and she smirked with a almost nasty smile a moment to the many panicked faces. She couldn't wait to see them after she told them what was going on. She then leveled a heated glare at the twins before returning to the room and spoke, "We are not under an attack nor a raid. The eruption of the mana you are feeling is because of Harry and Tom right now; due to their...playing." She spoke with nary an emotional inflection to give away her smugness for the situation, " Both of their emotional states are stressed and highly agitated right now."

She steepled her fingers idly, "Some imbeciles; they earlier this evening...incited the Dark Lord's possessive streak unintentionally over Harry as he returned from being away from the estate."

She paused as some faces turned to look at her with incredulousness, "These magical reverberations are them as they are now together and more than likely being very intimate. The release of the extra and agitated magic to them both for the feelings of the bond between them being infringed upon."
