"Well, isn't this quaint? You and I, teaming up. Never thought I'd say this, but... truce?" extends hand cautiously
"I know we have a complicated history, but right now, we have a common enemy. We need to put our differences aside." pauses
narrows eyes "Don't think this means I trust you completely. We've both done things that can't just be forgotten. But... we can start fresh."
leans in close "Remember, if you cross me again, I won't hesitate to do whatever it takes to protect myself. Understand?"
mhmm…stares at him doe eyed and slowly nods
smirks "Good. Now let's go, we have work to do." starts walking towards the deeper parts of the forest
slowly follows behind him, watching my step carefully
glances back at SorbetTenderness "Keep up. We don't have time for your usual dawdling."
stops being slow and starts picking up pace to catch up with him quickly, my hands clenched into fists.
increases his pace even more, almost running through the dense foliage "Move it! We're being followed, and I don't want them catching up to us!"
chases after him at a fast pace
suddenly stops, turns around, and puts a finger to his lips "Shh! Do you hear that?" listens intently, eyes narrowed
Freezes and stays silent to listen
grabs SorbetTenderness' arm and pulls them behind a thick tree "Stay quiet and stay hidden. We're not alone in these woods."
follows instructions and hides quietly
peeks through a small gap in the tree, scanning the surrounding area "There they are. A group of Death Eaters, led by Yaxley.
whispers urgently "We need to find a way to take them out without them noticing us. Keep your eyes peeled for any weaknesses or opportunities.
“no problem.” watches carefully, thinking hard on how to handle this situation
squints and scans the Death Eaters' movements, looking for any vulnerabilities "I see they're all focused on their surroundings, expecting an attack.
“that sounds like a good thing. Maybe we should try distracting them somehow?”
grins mischievously "I have an idea. Follow my lead." creeps out from behind the tree and begins subtly casting a spell
throws a Confundus Charm at one of the Death Eaters, causing him to stumble and lose focus "Now, while he's disoriented, we strike!"
Stares at Draco in confusion before shaking it off and nodding, understanding what he wants them to do
whispers urgently "Now, we need to act fast. I'll take care of the first two, you handle the last two. Make sure you hit them hard and fast.
swiftly moves towards the first two Death Eaters, casting a powerful spell that sends them flying back. He lands a precise kick on the second one, knocking him out cold "That should keep them occupied for a while." looks over at SorbetTenderness, seeing that they've taken down the remaining Death Eaters with impressive precision "Nicely done. We make a good team."
“thanks.” walks away a bit to get away from the gross death eater blood
approaches SorbetTenderness, placing a hand gently on their shoulder "Hey, are you alright? That was intense. Take a moment to collect yourself, if you need to." Suddenly, Draco notices a deep gash on SorbetTenderness's arm, causing him concern. He quickly reaches into his pocket and pulls out a healing potion, applying it to the wound to stop the bleeding.
“…yeah I’m fine thanks…why are you helping me?”
pauses, looking away for a moment "I... I may not always show it, but I care about you.
takes a deep breath "Yes, I do. Despite everything, despite the rivalry and the animosity, there's a part of me that doesn't want to see you get hurt.
gets teary eyed and hugs him tightly
hesitates for a moment, then slowly wraps his arms around SorbetTenderness, returning the hug "We... we should probably head back to the castle.
