What Goes Around

[SARAH JANE FINNIGAN]

Sarah Finnigan left the Leaky Cauldron after her graveyard shift at 3 in the morning and began to walk home. Her house wasn't very far away from the Alley, she lived in a flat in an all wizarding building just on the other side of the Alley, but back in London. Normally, she would walk to the other side of the Alley and then would apperate from there to the entrance of her flat. So she began to walk down the Alley. Vanessa was still staying with her and she was eager to get home and make sure that her friend was okay. Sarah kept her wand hidden in her sleeve as she walked. After the attack on Vanessa, she didn't want to take any chances. The Alley was a dangerous place to be after dark.

Word had reached Dathan that Vanessa Vlemont... nay Vanessa Veltrino... had allies now, and one in particular had prevented her capture. It was Sarah Finnigan, another offspring of the scum that had helped defeat Voldemort's army at one time. Another blasted would-be hero seeking to make fools of the Black Army.

That wouldn't happen on Dathan's watch.

He waited patiently like a cobra for her shift to be over. Unlike her, his wand was out and waiting, and she would find he was far more of a threat than Vincent's hired thugs.

In the shadows, he formed a slight smirk before opening his mouth.

"I would think you'd change your shifts by now, Ms. Finnigan," he said. "Considering your actions in aiding your friend have made you yourself our target."

Sarah's head whipped around when she heard the voice and the figure came into focus. She had seen the face before. Probably in one of the photos of prominent Black army members that The Order had laid out on a wall of targets and people to watch out for. She knew the name. Dathan Burke. He owned the shop in Knockturn Alley. Sarah stiffened her form and worked at her wand, "Why should I? I took down the goons pretty easily, didn't I?" Sarah asked, and whipped out her wand, pointing it at the man. A part of her wished that she had just apperated from the shop, but she knew after her shift, she didn't have the kind of energy to go that far. She was running on adrenaline now.

Dathan did not so much as flinch when Sarah aimed her wand and spoke of how easily she took down the goons.

"Yes, you did," he said. "However, know that I am more than just a... goon of the Dark Lady, and I have gained my position for a reason." Dathan then looked over at something near them both. It was Eligos, his loyal wolf. The beat growled and bared his fangs. Burke knew the foolish girl would turn to look at him, and then Burke would strike.

Sarah heard the beast growl and wasn't sure which figure to turn her attention to. She decided to send a curse towards the animal without turning her attention to look at him, though she was unsure whether her little curse would even phase the beast, though she threw a stunning curse at the wolf, moving her wand from Dathan. "What do you want with me? For me to tell you where Vanessa is? To turn her in? Good luck with that." Sarah pursed her lips, She would rather die than give up a friend. She was a member of the Order of the Phoenix after all, she wouldn't back down. Not even with a fight.

The distraction was brief, but long enough for Dathan to lift his own wand and attack. He hated that Eligos had to be harmed, and the wolf was momentarily harmed, to give him the open, but he knew Eligos, as loyal as the dog was, would have it no other way.

"Impedimenta!" he chanted, a spell that was a bit more intense than the Stupefying Charm, and would knock the target away and to the ground. He then aimed at the Sarah's arm connected to the hand holding her wand. "Ossis Effergo!" He had uttered the incantation for the Bone-Breaking Curse, which if it worked, would snap the bone in his target's arm.

"I could easily kill you, but I was told to simply warn you instead this time," he said. "Consider this a sign of things to come if you protect the girl."

As Dathan disappeared, back into the darkness of the Alley, Sarah just lied there and looked up at the stary night. She knew that joining the order would result in fighting. She knew that she would get hurt in order to protect those around her, and she surly knew what she was getting into when she took in Vanessa and helped her to escape and hide from her past. But it wasn't time to hide any longer. It was time to fight. With her arm split into countless pieces and her entire body full of cuts and bruises from being thrown magically and very forcefully onto the ground, Sarah scrounged up as mcuh strength and she could and grasped her wand, apperating herself to St. Mungos hospital before she blacked out.
