Elder Blood Witcher 370 Hogsmeade Trip

The girls talked to each other about various miscellaneous things but Ciri had to cut the conversation short as Hermione was trying to probe into her and Reima's past. She look down to take another spoonful of ice cream but finds most of it had already been eaten by Snuffles who gives her an innocent look.

In the end Ciri's stubbornness won out and the girls ended up going to a clothing store, she had a pocket full of change courtesy of Reima and she intended to spend it all. She quickly bought many sets of clothing for herself and Hermione after getting the teen to try them on. Most of them were robes but she found that the wizarding underwear stores were pretty comprehensive, she still refused to wear a bra but panties that didn't get dirty from her monthlies? Definitely a good purchase!

The two had just exited the store with too many bags to handle and Hermione with giving her a glare for buying too many things, Ciri gives her a shrug but suddenly remembers the name of Reima's house elf. "Hinky" she says aloud, causing the small creature to appear in-front of her.

Hinky "What can Hinky do for Mistress?" it says, causing her brows to furrow.

Ciri "Mistress?" she asks.

Hinky "Misstress is Masters Mistress, Mistress."

Ciri "...Uh huh... Erm, could you take our bags back to Hogwarts please Hinky?"

Hinky quickly nods and clicks it's fingers, causing it along with their bags to disappear.

Hermione "So, Mistress, what was that about?"

Ciri grumbles but replies, "I thought you already knew that me and Reima were dating?"

Hermione "I did but being called Mistress? I didn't know you were into that kind of stuff..."

Ciri "Funny hearing that from a prude" she says with a smug grin.

Hermione "Prude!?!"

Ciri "Well of course you are, you've got Harry Potter by the b.a.l.l.s but still haven't made your move."

...

Hermione doesn't reply but just shakes her head, she starts heading towards the library with Ciri following but something causes them both to stop. Ciri steps beside Hermione and hands Snuffles to her before drawing her sword with her hand that's not occupied by her staff. Immediately her hairs on the back of her neck raise when she see's black shadows darting from the roof tops of the village.

Ciri shouts, "Vampires!" causing the surrounding people to look at her strangely. This doesn't continue however as many figures drop from the rooftops and surround the girls. Snuffles glares at them with her crimson eyes only to feel the figures glare back. The vampires all around the duo + rabbit have black hair with slitted red eyes and seem unaffected by the suns rays.

"IT'S HER" one shouts, causing the rest the pull out various Silver weapons. This causes the surrounding people to scream in terror and flee in various directions, some unfortunate few aren't fast enough or were already too close as the vampire haphazardly wave their weapons, bisecting a few people.

Hermione is absolutely horrified by this and starts backing away towards the building behind them while Ciri steps forward with her sword drawn.

Ciri "Back off or I'll cut you a new one!" she shouts, dragging her staff over her sword and causing it to ignite with powerful flames enshrouding the blade.

One figure steps forward and glares at her, "Hand her over and we will grant you a quick demise!" they shout.

Ciri knows that the Auror's will get here eventually and all she has to do is hold them off until then, however she knows who they're after and isn't sure she would be able to fend them all off.

Suddenly Snuffles jumps out of Hermione's arms and transforms into her vampire form, still shoe-less with a white sundress and wielding her Iaito. Hermiones eyes almost roll out of her sockets when she sees this but she shakily retrieves her wand and points it at the vampire surrounding them.

Nerissa digs a nail into her wrist holding the sword, causing blood to crawl out of it and envelope the blade, making it resemble ruby isntead of steel. She growls out, "Die" before lunging forwards and attempting to stab the closest vampire. It parries the blade but gets launched away as a Reducto from Ciri connects with it's shoulder, causing it's arm to disintegrate due to the overpowered spell, however as soon as the vampire see Ciri fire a spell from her staff they leap forwards in an attempt to eliminate her quickly. In response to this she brings her sword up and parries a silver blade while ducking under the other which to an average person only looks like a glimmer of silver in the air.

After successfully dodging the blow she flicks her blade at the Achilles tendon of one of the vampires, the flames of her sword damaging it too much to be healed quickly.

Ciri huffs out, "s.h.i.+t, where is Reima when you need him!"
