Umbridge High School Building, Saturday Evening

[nomutineer.livejournal.com]

There were some clouds hanging around the spires of Umbridge High School, but not enough; there was an overlaying sense that there shouldn't be as much sunlight shining down on it as there was.

It was quiet. Kind of. There was tension in the air, a wound-up strung-up thing that ensnared the school. Somehow it seemed as if even the birds didn't want to touch down on the building itself, and the gates seemed to fold into themselves, even if they weren't quite shut.

And all that on a weekend, too.

Okay, these people really needed to be back in detention where they belonged. Clint dove out of the way of the fireball, and rolled to get upright enough to fire an arrow at her.

Eve snapped up a shield spell, the arrow bouncing off it effortlessly.

She dropped the shield spell and threw a ball of ice at him this time. "Do not try to hurt me," she snarled. "It won't end well."

Clint tried to dodge the ice, but it brushed against his leg and made him hiss. "Oh yeah? I wouldn't recommend hurting me either," he said, firing another arrow towards her arm. Maybe then she'd stop throwing things at him.

The arrow grazed her arm -- she had the feeling if he'd meant to seriously put it in her, it'd be in a worse place.

So for a little variety, she threw a knock-back spell at him. Wouldn't hurt him, just maybe make him stumble if it connected.

Clint didn't really see anything coming at him, but he certainly felt it, and stumbled back. Swearing soundly, he tried to get up again before Eve could get away.

Eve threw another knock-back spell at him. It was entirely possible she was toying with him the way so many of the Loyalists had toyed with her and the others in Detention.

Hopefully Eve liked colorful language, because that was all Clint could manage to get out as he was knocked back again. God, he hated people with abilities he didn't have.

Eve fully appreciated -- and approved of -- colorful language.

"How's it feel?" she asked, stepping closer. "How's it feel being utterly helpless like I was, like we all were? How's it feel being at someone else's mercy?"

"I am not at your mercy," Clint snapped, lashing out at her with a kick. "I am never helpless."
