Isaac paced back and forth in his room, the Death Eater apparel laid out neatly on his bed. Tonight was the night that he was going to rescue the history of magic professor from being held captive in the dungeons. As far as he knew from his observations, there was not going to be a meeting tonight, and so, it should be easy to get Carrietta safely away from where she was held prisoner, a mere two floors beneath his feet. Isaac slipped on the robes and covered his head with the mask.

He practically ran down the stairs, going much more quickly than the average human. He slipped down into the dungeons without any interference, Isaac knew that his mother had gone out looking for Draco again, so he wouldn't run into her. Isaac slipped into the dungeons and then unlocked the cell door where Professor North was chained. "I'm here to help," Isaac whispered. "Draco dormiens nunquam titilandus." The phrase at the bottom of the Hogwarts Crest was the codeword for the Order, so they could identify themselves.

Isaac walked into the cell and broke off Carrietta's chains with his bare hands. "I'm going to have to carry you so we can get out without being seen," said Isaac, and then picking up Carrietta effortlessly, carrying her bridal-style. Isaac looked around, so far, so good.

[omghprp]

Carrietta felt her heart leap at the phrase used by Order members to identify themselves to one another when necessary. She had been waiting for so long, she had been tortured so many times, violated, she was quite literally wasting away... She felt suddenly liberated as the chains were broken, but knew she was not going to be strong enough to stand. She bit her lip as she was scooped up into her saviour's arms, and then wrapped her own arms around his neck and closed her eyes tightly.

[malfoy]

"Hold on," Isaac said, looked around and then took off at full speed. He was a bit slowed by the extra weight, though not by much. He hated the anti-apparation charms on the manor, he had to leave the vast grounds before they would be able to simply vanish to the safe-point, just outside of the Hogwarts gates. No doubt she would have to see a healer when they arrived, Carrietta's condition did not look very good. Isaac continued to run, the grounds flying past in blurbs of muted nighttime colour.

[omghprp]

Although the movement was smooth, Carrietta was moving so quickly that she felt ill, and probably would have thrown up already had her stomach anything to get rid of. Carrietta continued to keep her eyes closed, knowing that if she did open them it would only make her feel worse. Her brain told her that this Order member who had come to her rescue was Isaac Malfoy, only a vampire could run this fast...

[malfoy]

Isaac stopped the second his feet left Malfoy property. Without even looking around to see if anyone was there, he disapparated with a crack like a whip. Within seconds he and Carrietta popped out of nowhere before the gates of the Hogwarts grounds. Isaac transferred all of Carrietta's weight to one arm to place his left hand on the wrought iron gates. "Fawkes flies with Hedwig," said Isaac aloud, and the gates swung open just wide enough for him to get through while carrying Carrietta. With a clang, the gates closed themselves, they were safe.

[omghprp]

Carrietta was grateful for the Hogwarts grounds, but she was pining for her family; her children, her husband... How they must be worried sick about her since she had been held captive since... Well, Carrietta could not remember anymore; she didn't know what the date was now, but she was certain that from the empty-looking state of the castle and the hot air it was summer.

[malfoy]

As if knowing that they were there, the front doors to the castle swung open. In all his years at Hogwarts Isaac had never known them to do that. But this was soon explained by a figure coming through the opened doors, striding across the lawns to meet them. Isaac shifted his grip on Carrietta, hoping to make her a bit more comfortable. He knew by scent that this person approaching them was a friend, not foe, in fact, it was...

[itsaspaz]

Liam strode out across the lawns at the approaching people, he was alone, instead of the original plan that he be accompanied by Cici. His wife, due to her being pregnant, was currently living in the Irish cottage where his parents took their residence, to be safe from everything that was going on. Upon getting closer he could tell the figure in the Death-Eater garbed person's arms was his colleague, Carrietta North. "State your business," said Liam, drawing his wand.

[malfoy]

Isaac shifted Carrietta to one arm again, and used his now free hand to remove the mask. "Draco dormiens nunquam titilandus." said Isaac. "The Half Blood Prince has turned." He felt sort of cool using all these codes with the Order, as if he were some sort of spy. Isaac kept these thoughts repressed for the moment, they had more important matters to take care of.

[itsaspaz]

"Very well," Liam said, sliding his wand back up his sleeve. "Come with me," He led the way through the deserted hallways. Now would be the time where most of the students would go to bed, many of the portraits were already snoozing. By the moonlight pouring in through the windows, some of the ghosts roaming the corridors glittered. Liam pushed open the door to the hospital wing, the only room in the castle that was lit. By the looks of Carrietta, she was going to need a long time to recover.

[malfoy]

Isaac carefully laid Carrietta on the first available bed, being especially gentle. Hopefully Liam was better with healing magic than he was, those had always been Isaac's weak-point, he was much better with combat and defensive spells. He slipped off the dark robes, revealing his jeans and white t-shirt. Isaac folded the robes and placed them and the mask inside the wardrobe, in the designated spot behind the potions.

[omghprp]

Carrietta instantly felt much better once she was laid upon the bed, it was easily the most comfortable thing she had been on in a very long time. She felt exhausted although she had not done anything involving her rescue, completely drained. Her husband... Her children... Sleep... Carrietta allowed her eyes to close, and felt herself drifting to sleep. She had not even had her eyes closed longer than two seconds when the horrible images began to appear, flashbacks of what the Death Eaters had done to her... Carrietta's eyes flew open, she could not allow herself to sleep.

[itsaspaz]

Liam once more drew his wand, wishing that he were a bit more adept at healing. He knew the basics and he could probably make things a bit more comfortable for Carrietta, but what they really needed was a healer. It would be too risky to call in Raychel, but Liam supposed that there was always Wolfgang; even if he was only an intern he knew a hell of a lot more than Liam. "Isaac, go and fetch Wolfgang, we need his skill." said Liam quietly.

[potterfreak]

"No need, I'm here," said Wolfgang, striding into the room, soaking wet. It had begun to rain, no, more like pour, as he strode across the grounds. He had known that tonight would be the night of Carrietta's rescue, and that his assistance might be needed, depending on how badly the Death Eaters had marred her. Wolfgang had prepared himself for the worst, it wasn't like the Death Eaters to show mercy. Just one look at Carrietta told him that her condition was not good, extremely fragile.

[itsaspaz]

"Oh, good," said Liam to Wolfgang and then quickly turned his attention back to Isaac. "I need you instead to go get Angel, Carrietta needs a wand and I'm afraid that it cannot wait." Liam ran a hand through his hair, there was so much going on, on top of the fact that he would be leaving to go after the dementors in just a short week, this time on his own, that was if he couldn't get anyone to volunteer... This war would be the death of him for sure.
