Hunting the fugitives[23]

[Peter Pettigrew]

::Apparates into St. Mungos and begins to look for the other DeathEaters. He hears voices down the corridor and ignores the reception lady. Realizes Aurors are in the vicinity. He quickly transforms into his animagus form as soon as he is no longer in sight of the reception lady. Scampers off to find a familiar face and to investigate where the intruders and the prisoner are hiding.::

::After going around a few corners he spots Peon, his master's protege. So as not to startle him as Peter changed into his normal self, he did so right in front of the protege.::

::nervously and a bit shaky, whispered::
My dear friend, Peon. Have you any news ... any word as to where they may be hiding?

::looks up and down the corridor to check for aurors::

[Peon Erupttat]

*He snorts as the rat morphs in front of him.*

Not yet. Keep looking. They must be around here somewhere.

[Peter Pettigrew]

::With his wand at the ready, Peter slowly approached each door with caution. Most of the rooms he checked were either empty or had patients in them. Careful not to be seen by the innocent bystanders in each room, he checked every room on the hallway except for one. His silver hand twitched and tingled as he stared at the door. Something was different about this room and he could sense it.::

::Turning to Peon, his squeaky voice let out a loud whisper.::

Peon, my friend, come check this room.

::If the intruders were really in there, Peon would have the ability of scaring them more easily than he could::

[Kingsley Shacklebolt]

**Kingsley, Ken and Jean searched for survivors in all rooms of that floor. They entered the last one. There was a pile of bronze cauldrons on the corner and a wooden cabinet next to it, bottles of different sizes and colours decorated the shelves. Kingsley saw a small window above two beds, the sheets were scattered on the floor.**

Whoever was here, managed to escape.

**Kingsley voice sounded relieved**

Luckily they... **He silenced himself abruptly. A pair of voices from outside startled him. Pointed his wand towards the open door. Lowered his voice**

We're not alone my friends...

[Peter Pettigrew]

:: Peters silver hand began to tingle. Whoever was in the room knew that someone was outside. Not waiting for Peon to follow through with his order, Peter crept towards the door with his wand at the ready. He was ready to attack, though he was still shaking with excitement. If he survived the Dark Lord would be pleased with him.::

::Flinging the door open, he saw 3 aurors.::

PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!

:: He watched as the spell head straight for one of the wizards faces. Before he could tell if the spell hit the man, he ducked to his right behind the wall... ready for the reitaliation.::

[Kingsley Shacklebolt]

**The door balanced forward a few centimetres. Kingsley and the others barely had time to look for cover as they saw the green cursing light heading towards them. It was rushing quickly in Jean's direction. Kingsley pushed him in time to escape it, landing on the pile of cauldrons. Raised his wand towards the foe's heart**

IMPEDIMENTA!!

**Kingsley finally could recognize the unregistered animagus. The one who nearly ruined the wizarding community. "I will enjoy this", Kingsley thought**

[Peter Pettigrew]

:: Peter didn't hear anyone's body fall, so he knew that his spell had missed. Still behind the wall, he jumped back into the center of the doorway where he was nearly hit by a flash of red light. It felt a hot breeze past his head. He was lucky to have missed it.::

INCARCEROUS!

::He moved back behind the wall for cover ready to unleash another curse onto his foes.::

[Peon Erupttat]

*He spins his wand in his fingers, grunts and wordlessly steps in through the door Peter had opened for him, spraying flames from the tip of his wand before side stepping out of harms way again.*

[Peter Pettigrew]

:: A smile creeped onto Peter's face when he saw Peon's wand erupt with flames. He was sensing a victory. The Dark Lord would be so proud of him...er... them.::

::After Peon jumped out of the way, Wormtail jumped into his spot.::

PROTEGO! ::he figured a spell would be heading his way and thought it best to prepare for it.::

::almost immediately shouts::

STUPEFY

::Jumps back out of the way, smiling the whole time.::

[Kingsley Shacklebolt]

**Kingsley weren't quick enough. He only had time to put himself in front of Jean in order to protect him. The spell hit his chest. Thick ropes appeared out of the thin air and clutched his entire body. He struggled for a few seconds but he finally collapsed on the floor. For his terror, there was someone else... or something next to Wormtail**

CAREFUL!!

I can see two of them!

**He hardly shouted due to the ropes tightened around his jaw. His wand was firmly clenched by his right hand**

[Peon Erupttat]

*He marched into the room wand outstretched and grabbed the tied up Kingsley, while keeping his weapon aimed at the others.*

Don't try anything stupid.

[Peter Pettigrew]

::Pleased that Peon stormed in and captured the wizard, Wormtail follows in behind him. Pointing his wand at the other two wizards, he chuckles.::

Peon, my friend, I believe our Master will be pleased to know that we have captured three aurors.

::Points his wand back at the wizard who has been tied up. Decides to hex him so he doesn't try any funny business::

Petrificus Totalus.

::Points his wand back at the other two wizards.::

Oh what to do with you two? ::smirks::

::

[Kingsley Shacklebolt]

**The creature grabbed him with one hand only. He struggled for a few seconds but it was no use. The foe and the ropes were stronger than him. Luckily, the wand was tight in his hand. Wormtail entered the room, he seemed pleased. The Animagus's wand was pointed towards Kingsley's head. The foe spoke the words.**

"Protego totalum..."

**As an excellent wordless spell caster, Kingsley succeeded perfectly. The ropes didn't prevent the hand movement. The green light rushed in his direction and vanished as it touched his binded body**

"Duro..."

**Kingsley's body stiffened enough to cause the idea of a petrified body. Now he had to wait**

[Peon Erupttat]

*Erupttat nodded to Wormtail.*

We can bring these back to the Master.

*He put a hand onto Bonobo.*

Grab the other one.

*He nodded towards Keegan before disapparating with his captives into Azkaban's main chamber.*

[Peter Pettigrew]

::Squees in excitement of capturing not only 1 auror but 3. Walks towards Keegan and searches him over for his wand. Finds it and places it into his own cloak. Grabs the auror by the neck apparates into Azkaban.::
