"What? Harry?"
"Steve, Cassidy," Harry noticed his other friends had edged close enough to hear along with Verun and Kamala's guard and the other body guards. "Magic is real guys. Seven of these guys are magic users. Five of them are controlling the gun men. When stuff starts, move top speed for the archway at seven o'clock it's closest and it has the most shelter once you're through. Pass on the second part I'll explain the first when we're in the clear. Got it?"
Alexis said "After I get one down I'll go for three. You do know we're going to get in trouble for this."
Rachel looked steadily at her target. "My second will be ten, followed by eight. And I doubt there'll be as much trouble as you expect, if Indian aurors were going to show they would have already."
"Sirius is going to go ape, we're outnumbered and facing not just magic but also guns." Alexis still tended to be a bit scared of his boss.
Harry fought back a smirk. "On three?"
Cassidy said, "How about you give it a twenty count so we can get the group ready."
"Right should have thought of that. I guess I'm nervous cause people are pointing guns."
"Well, for a nervous plan it's not bad, but Harry if we do this we aren't going for a take down with these odds we're going for a take out. If there's flak for that decision I'll take it. I want us moving out of here ASAP the less time we give them for their ritual the better." Rachel said. "But even so we will still be facing casualties not all of us will make it."
"Potentially lethal spells, got it."
"So if I understand what you are saying if we shoot the ones not holding guns, I protect my charges." Verun and Kamala's bodyguard said.
Harry nodded. "Try and shoot the magical at eight o'clock. The gunmen are not doing what they're doing willingly. We free them they may even help us. You're likely to only get one shot so make it count."
Rachel said "one."
Harry and the others who had gathered and made their plan moved from the center to the edges.
Harry slipped his hand under the edge of the jean jacket he always wore away from school. It concealed his wand, his sais, and a shrunken sword. All of which were spelled to be unnoticeable as he went through muggle security checkpoints. He had permits for them but in general didn't pull them out unless it was required. He breathed in and out focusing inwardly so he could have his magic ready for anything. When he hit twenty he whipped out his wand and snapped off a bludgeoning hex at the head of his target as Verun's bodyguard snapped off a shot with his revolver dropping the magical at eight. Two down thought Harry. Gunfire was going at this point and Harry watched as his guess about which people were controlling who proved somewhat accurate.
His classmates escaped but one of the teachers got shot in the leg and crumpled before he got to the doorway.
Since Verun's bodyguard had killed the magical at eight. Harry turned to the magical at five only to find himself locked into a duel. This guy was strong he dropped his hold over half of the gunmen he was controlling to better use his magical energy against Harry, but after finding the boy unexpectedly strong he had one of the gunmen fire at Harry. Harry felt the bullet graze his shoulder and heard it ricochet off a wall behind him and felt a burning in his calf. He cast a ferula spell at his leg without getting a good look at it; he was too busy trying to shield.
MU number three decided to help five; he cast a stunner that hit Harry and dropped him in his tracks.
Alexis knew from the second exchange of spells he was in trouble. He and Rachel had assumed that they would be matches power wise to the two leaders of this bunch. Rachel looked okay, but he was in trouble. The spells his opponent was throwing were nasty. Entrails expelling, life breath, crap a soul stealer, run of the mill AK. He levitated a stone into that one's path. Alexis found himself getting pushed backward. He never saw the two controlled gunmen that killed him.
Rachel fought fiercely with the leader of these terrorists. Out of the corner of her eye she was surprised to see Alexis go down. Then she realized that it wasn't magic, it was bullets. She backed slowly towards Harry and checked for apparition wards. They were up. Dammit all to fucking hell, how was she supposed to protect Harry in this situation. Out numbered as they were, Rachel was surprised as many people got away as did. It looked like two thirds the people had got away. The number of controlled gun men shrank noticeably as well. Unfortunately her and Harry's hope of the gunmen fighting those that had enslaved them didn't occur, the freed gunmen fled. At least in the chaos all of the students except Harry, and some of the other people from other tour groups got away. Hopefully that meant whatever dark ritual was planned was FUBAR. Harry fell to a stunner. It distracted Rachel just enough that she didn't see the stunner that hit her.
A short time later judging by the time of day, she came around. She was tightly bound. And what woke her was Harry's scream.
"The witch wakes, my Lord."
