Winry fired stunners at the two remaining aggressors, but they dodged. Suddenly the air was split by a deafening crack of lightning and where the two attackers had been there was now only smoldering heaps that had once been bodies. Winry ignored the smell of ozone and burnt flesh and once she could see past the after image of the lightning she apparated to Sirius and Harry.
Moody couldn't believe what he'd just witnessed. Black had put himself between the boy and what wa
s one of the deadlier cutting curses. He didn't know what Parkinson and Avery were thinking firing those towards the boy-who-lived, unless they were deatheaters of old seeking revenge. Then two bolts or maybe just one forked bolt of lightning had appeared out of a mostly clear sky to kill Parkinson and Avery. Well shit this had gone to hell in a hand basket he'd better leave before… He heard the distinctive explosive crack of mass apparition. Swearing he apparated out while he still could.
Winry arrived next to Sirius and Harry only to start swearing they both had been hit with an obviously heavy duty cutting curse. Sirius was unconscious. And pinning Harry. Harry was asking for his wand. "Hold on Harry, I need to get the bleeding stopped."
"You can't without the counter curse." Harry murmured.
"What spell was it?"
" Sectumsempra "
"Fuck I don't know that one. I've never even heard of it."
"Get my effing wand I do!"
Dani grabbed Harry's wand from where Sirius' tackle had knocked it and passed it to Harry.
"Pay attention, incidere haud magis resarcio una ."
As Harry completed the spell Winry cast a compression bandage spell on Sirius. She flashed a smile of thanks at the medic that placed a first aid kit at her elbow and grabbed a blood replenisher and spelled it directly to Sirius' stomach followed closely by a second. She levitated Sirius' body off Harry. Only to see the slice on Harry that Sirius' weight had been acting as pressure for. "Fucking Hell Portkey to the medical center here now dammit! Harry did the same curse hit you?"
"Ye" Harry's eyes rolled back in his head.
"Shit" Winry tried to remember the spell Harry had said for Sirius but she had been too busy trying to be ready to stop the bleeding.
" Incidere haud magis resarcio una ." Dani said fighting back tears because Harry was hurt. The portkey snatched them away to the medical center. Moments later Sirius and Harry were on medical cots. Dani backed out of the healers way, Winry was busy giving them a rundown of what had happened.
Twenty minutes later Winry came out to see Dani sitting with a cup of coffee. Dani waved her wand and a second cup appeared. She looked at Winry with a questioning look.
"It's touch and go. We think we've got them stable but none of us knows much about the spell that hit them. If Harry hadn't known the counter they'd be dead. Sirius because he caught the equivalent of one and a half . Harry because he's a kid. What's worse is for some reason his core's acting funny. From the angles if Sirius had not caught Harry and switched the angle he'd have been hit across the jugular. I want to bring Beth here but because they're looping I can't."
"Looping what do you mean?"
Winry winced and inhaled sharply, "It's classified."
"Oh."
"Good job by the way."
"What do you mean?"
"You remembered the counter and didn't hesitate it might very well have saved his life."
Charlie entered the hall he saw both ladies outside the room. "How are they?"
"It's wait and see."
"Cruz what the fuck happened?" Dani said.
"In general or in specific? A cluster fuck in general. In specific one hell of a security breach. Somewhere someone leaked where Sirius would be on certain dates and the best time to attack was today. Apparently whoever it was leaked it to some Brits who wanted Black and Harry in the worst way. We got two attackers in the morgue, one that is being serumed as we speak. Ten that are local talent and with two more locals and four more Brits that escaped. Security here on this room is jumping up the scale as we speak. The President has been informed but because of stuff beyond my paygrade to know their family isn't being informed. Radar and the investigators are tearing through files and interviews, doing the works to find out who the leak was. You ladies were cleared tentatively since you both feature so prominently in the rescue side of things I just finished my clearance interview so I came here as more get cleared they'll show."
"How many got hurt or killed?" Dani asked.
"That's the funny thing apparently the orders were no permanent damage was to be done."
"So what's with the guys casting…" Winry started.
" Sectumsempra ." Dani finished.
"That's a very good question. Anyway most of the damage is minor except for the two private guards with Sirius one took a bludgeoning curse to the temple, he died and the other has a skull fracture and severe concussion."
"So what now?"
"We wait."
