“Aubrey, ‘Brey? You feel it too, right? This isn’t right. There should be noise. Some wind. Something. And… you are probably doing double duty or something but… there are other people out this late right? Prefects? Travis or Ashley?”
“Oh… oh crap. None of them take my advice to get stacked and bring explosives. Alright, Friday morning, like 0215… shit, Travis should be around this side right now. Shit! Move, move, move! We have to find him! Follow me, keep up! Keep Macy between you two, watch your corners, keep an eye out!”, you heard and the tall girl kitted out for war started sprinting despite all the junk she had on.
Fuck!
Emmy did well but you suppose Potter really was right about you taking up jogging, even if not for the reason he suggested, since Aubrey was fast. You <span class="mu-i">were</span> asking about this bullshit because she should not be this strong or quick. Macy had trouble until she grabbed a clear potion from her little set of pouched and swigged it then managed to gulp it while running.

“Aubrey stop for just a second!”, and you managed to get her to slow then halt, catch her breath since apparently she did get tired some too.
“W-what? He should be pretty close at this time of night…”
“I need to try something. Macy, do you have a Maxima Potion by chance.”, you asked as the smaller girl panted.
“Ah…ah…hate running. N-no; sorry, Jenn.”
“Then this is going to suck; I have to check something.”, and you began pooling your power. Another charm that was more advanced than you should know… let the barriers with Emmy down some to leech a bit of her strength.
<span class="mu-i">”Trasare travarte!”</span>
And a brilliant line of stars burst into existence from your wand tip and you had to strain to stay standing… but you did as you saw them <span class="mu-i">not</span> wink out like they should have in a place like Ilvermorny or Hogwarts… oh fuck.
“The…’Brey, the anti-apparition wards are down!”
“What!”
“No time. I’m okay. Find Travis. Send Patronus. Quick as we can.”, cried out, still catching your breath some. Began jogging at a quicker pace… this was worse than you first thought… something that could break the protections on a place like Ilvermorny… it might not be Hogwarts but it had its defenses. It took people working from inside and a Dark Wizard like Voldemort to crack them before, and then with Merlin knows how many how many Death Eaters helping…
But… there had been magic that had-
And your thoughts were interrupted by turning a corner between some old buildings, one set up for dueling that Aubrey had shown to you and into a small clearing full of nice trees around it. But…
