Sitting on a couch in a small and cozy room, lit by the soft light of the lamps on the walls, Delphine listened with interest to the Death Eaters sitting across from her. Apparently, they, like many other wizards, had no idea not only of the woman's master's degrees but of their direction. The same Jugson looks at her as a twenty-year-old silly girl with whom he was once somewhat familiar. However, even then, Delphine diligently leaned on the study of magic. Even Henry didn't know about mastery and feared only ancestral knowledge of necromancy!
The potion, the vapor of which she managed to miss during the conversation in the hall, took the lion's share of concentration and attention, and if she weakens it… Delphine drove the thoughts of the possible prospect from her mind. She is no longer a young girl, and such an approach to solving the issue will not surprise her — she has heard enough of everything and seen examples. But changing roles from predator to prey, and even happy with her position - it was unacceptable, and the fact that someone decided to pull such a stunt caused her only anger. That was what she was fueling, to keep the potion's effects under control and gradually overcome its effects.
Jugson pushed a stack of documents across the table towards Delphine.
"Make up your mind. Otherwise..." his vulgar gaze ran over the woman's figure.
"Why drag it out!" the blond-haired Rowle jumped up, rubbing his hands. "The result will be the same, but at least we'll please ourselves. I'm tired of «Don't go this way, don't go that way, don't do this, don't do that»"
Rowle was clearly imitating someone.
"Well?" Jugson, as it seemed to him, pressed with his gaze, and Delphine finally switched her consciousness to a few simple goals: «Speed up, throw a dagger, take out a stiletto...». A plan of action was maturing in her head because it was difficult for both her and these two to apply magic now, but to strengthen herself…
Suddenly the shadows across the room twitched once, twice. The only thing those present had time to do was tense up. In a split second, the simple shadows of objects and the shadows of the wizards themselves seemed to explode in black blobs, sprawling across the walls in scary animal images and cartoonish scary faces. Jugson and Rowle jumped up and reached for their wands, as did Delphine herself, but the shadows seemed to gain volume and density, and thick harnesses shot out of them, entwining the Death Eaters. At the same time, some scuffling was heard, and two opposite walls literally exploded, forming niches and scattering dust, stone, and wooden decor elements everywhere. Two wizards fell out of the openings, wrapped in ropes from the shadows.
With great difficulty, Delphine restrained herself from making any sudden movements, quickly shifting her gaze from the wizards, and the surge of adrenaline in her blood pushed the potion problem aside for a while. The first wizard to fall out of the breach in the wall was Professor Severus Snape, who was lifted into the air by the harnesses and had his head badly bumped against the floor, and clearly on purpose. The professor lost consciousness. The second wizard, or rather witch, was Bellatrix Lestrange. She looked with horror and fear at the black harnesses of shadows that were all over the room, and she herself was tightly entangled, stripped of her wand, and almost crucified in the air.
"No, no, no..." Bella muttered quietly, shaking her head a couple of times, shaking her long, disorderly curls of black hair with one gray strand in it. "It can't be..."
"What the fuck is this!" yelled Jugson, and he tried to jerk to the side and even managed to conjure fire without his wand, but the harnesses tightened, and there was a multiple crunching of bones. "Ahhhhhhhhhh! ... Shit...!"
There was another crunch, and now Rowle was singing along to his comrade, and their scream was full of pain.
"Suck it..." Bella exhaled, and the bright-bright ball of Lumos lit up above her, quickly extinguished, but nothing changed. "How come? How come?"
Bella looked with her black eyes at Delphine, motionless and cautiously looking around.
"Order him to back off..."
"It's not me..."
Shadows thickened on one of the walls and began to swell rapidly to form a male figure, and in the next instant, that figure turned into Max, walking into the room and playing with his cane. In the same instant, Bella fell asleep, and the tall, young blond man approached Delphine.
"Did you find out something?"
"Yes, and quite a lot," Delphine put her wand away.
"Then..." the guy took the contracts from the table and quickly flipped through them all. "I'll fool around a little."
