SITE EVENT: a cancer burning black into its heart

The wolf within him was twitching. Longing to be set free. Yet his mind kept wandering to the boy he had met during the school year. For some reason or another he couldn’t stop thinking about the kid. What was it about that blonde that kept his mind coming back to him. He shook his head, almost as if the physical action would cause the thought to fall right out of his ears. His head was no place for thoughts of compassion such as those to call its home.

He looked over the men that stood around him. They were to be the first wave of their latest attack. The latest attack to strike fear within the hearts of the general wizarding public and hopefully the Ministry. No woman nor child would be spared, and a date such as this with the full moon being only two days out meant that the attack would be unexpected. Their instincts wouldn’t exactly be the strongest at this phase of the moon’s cycle, but it would still be strong enough to cause Mayhem.

They stood upon the muggle side of the Leaky Cauldron, making final preparations before beginning to crack the nut that was the wizarding world’s most famous shopping centre… Diagon Alley.

“Strike hard and strike fast! No mercy! It’s the only way the Ministry will come to the table! And remember, those who are lucky enough to survive have been given a gift!”

With the speech given he then proceeded to kick down the door of the Leaky Cauldron. They didn’t have much time to push their way through the pub before the next wave came… and before the moon forced their form to change.

NOTES: It is highly likely that members of the wizard army are patroling the alley during the evenings, but they probably WOULDN'T be expecting an attack.

With school approaching, the shop had become insanely busy. That meant later nights than usual. He wasn't trained in the art of hemming robes and so, naturally he was bored out of his mind most of the time... tonight however was different.

The sun was setting and there were still a few shoppers hanging about the district, but more abnormal than that, there was a large amount of noise coming from The Leaky Cauldron. At first Matéo thought that the screams were a one off. That they'd die down and fade away, but as they continued he finally decided to act. He looked tentatively at his busy mother before pulling his cloak around him and moving towards the screams.

It probably wasn't the most logical ideas, to be running towards screams when he didn't know any magic to protect himself, but he had to satisfy his own curiosity.

He had to figure out what exactly was going on.

Being a General of Werewolf Army you would expect to see Nero front and centre but he had decided that he would only give orders when he felt it was necessary. He wanted to see the mettle of these young werewolves and weed out the weak and work on anyone that could possibly be a future leader. They seemed eager to show their potential and that was good, but potential only took you so far.

After the door was kicked in he strolled rather casually into the pub, his long coat flapping behind him, he grinned slightly and his long canines showed making the grin menacing instead of light-hearted the way grins where meant to be. He watched as diners and barflies jumped and screamed. Tables were turned and chairs thrown aside and Nero relished in it all. Soon the smell of blood with permeate the air and mingle with the smell of booze and that was just lovely in Nero's way of thinking.

The full-moon was two days away. It still surprised Del that she now knew this. Though she had liked Astronomy in school it was never her favourite subject and it was not something that she really took seriously because she never thought she would ever check a star chart again or care what phase of the moon they were in. Now it did matter and she always dreaded it.

She now knew that it was true what they said about no good deed going un-punished. She now lived with one for the rest of her life.

She never liked to be in populated areas when she changed and she would have to apperate soon and get out of here. She never wanted to happen to her happen to anyone else and she never planned to have 'children' of her own, well not werewolf children anyway. If there was a man out there that would accept her and they loved each other then she would take it as it came but she was young and she had time.

The shiver happened. It was bone deep and when that happened she knew it was time to leave. Standing up from her spot in the Leaky Cauldron she was about to turn on the spot when the door got kicked in and a pack of werewolves entered.

"Oh, no," she said

She knew she was not ready for the frontlines and probably wouldn't be for a while. Both the Auror's office and the Army, in general, were being sympathetic as possible but they could stand to take off the kid gloves now. She was still in mourning and even she didn't know if and when she would come out of it or if she ever would but Reina was tougher than that. She was an Auror and a Sergeant Major in the Wizarding Army. She was a black belt in taekwondo and if that didn't toughen you up having Ursula Kellerman as a stepmother and enemy would. That woman, with her eyes like a shark, could probably scare the pants off the darkest of wizards and the meanest of werewolves.

It was two days before the full-moon and that meant that their cycle was beginning. She wondered if they had anything planned. It wouldn't surprise her but she doubted they would plan anything in London not so close after the St Mungo's fiasco. But to be on safe side she and a handful of officer and her dog Fallon were patrolling Diagon Alley just in case. She liked having Fallon with her and it was very rare that she went anywhere without him these days.

Fallon stopped mid patrol and lifted his head and sniffed the air as if sensing something. His ears twitched but she didn't need the dog to alert her to the screams, yells and sounds of general chaos that had begun. They were coming from the Leaky Cauldron. Looking down at the dog who was starting to growl the two of the picked up the pace towards the pub.

The screams and yells were getting louder and they were almost there when a kid of maybe 10 or 11 rushed past him.

"Hey kid, wait," she yelled and she let go of the Fallon's lead and pulled her wand out of her robes.

School shopping was best done at night. There were fewer people purchasing items. Less queues. Less pushing and shoving whilst you made your way from one shop to another. And that was exactly why Jack was here as late as he was. He had yet to tell his parents about what was going on between him and one of his professors, let alone come out and tell them that he seemed to be gay and was avoiding such topics at all costs and this was all part of his plan.

His plan: avoid family dinners at all costs.

He had slowly come to terms with his desires, and although he wasn't really ready to come out of the closet, he was no longer trying to punish himself for the way that he was wired. So tonights excuse from the dinner table was that he was going to go and buy school supplies with his friends. His parents didn't need to know however that there in fact were no friends with him.

The moment the screams started though he abandoned his shopping and headed towards the screams with his wand in hand. He was of age now, which meant he wouldn't have any legal problems when it came to defending himself and others... something that he would admit that he was happy with given his situation.
