ORDER ONLY
Apr. 25th, 2009 07:21 amwhat a giant cock-up.
sorry about last night, Sirius mate. one thing after another.
we managed to get most of the goods, but as soon as we touched the wards we must've set off some sort of alarm. they were all over us in minutes. that bloody idiot turner tried to force his way through the barrier once the patrol showed. think he wanted to catch a ride home with you, sirius. he was yelling some nonsense about "take me with you."
my fault. shouldn't have let him come along. he was too damn young and too damn starstruck to be any use anyroad.
well, once he forced his arm through, he touched the sides somehow and it shook him and tossed him into the water like a rag doll. broke his arm, knocked him clean out, and he nearly drowned. sirius managed to aim a charm through the hole in the wards that pulled him out of the water, and we got him back on the boat. mind, we were crawling with the patrol at this point, all on brooms, and none of them too happy.
stephen was quick thinking, thank merlin. pulled a few wands out of the supplies and found one that worked almost right away. turns out he's almost as good at hexing as I am. only one of them managed to get onto the boat, but we kicked his arse overboard, knocked a few more off their brooms. (that was ace aiming, sirius, mate -- hitting that one bloke through the opening was brill.) we made a wall of fog to distract them, ran the boat ashore, and warded the hell out of everything so we'd have a safe place to stay for the night. had my emergency supplies in my wallet, so we even had a tent to sleep in and some first-aid supplies for turner. stephen's splinted his arm, and he'll live. which is good, because I'm going to kill him later.
it's nearly light enough for us to make our way home -- we'll side-along everyone and everything that needs taking, and disguise the boat somehow and come back for her later. hard to believe she kept running the entire time, what with all the spells they were flinging at her.
been a bit of a rough night, but no one too badly hurt that didn't royally deserve it, and we've got our wands, most of the fluxweed plants, and a few extra bits and bobs. fairly sure we can't try that route again, but I'd say we did what we set out to do.
