A reunion between two enemies

Andrew had been expecting Ne'Os to try and attack him. Frankly, it was quite predictable. But what baffled Andrew at that moment was whether it was out of anger or just plain boredom. Yet at that moment, he didn't care. He flung his hands forward, muttering the spell Levicorpus. He had no idea how it would affect an animal, yet it didn't matter. Wheter if Ne'Os had slowed down or not, Andrew quickly backed up and used his right hand to lunge for the head of the snake, knowing fully that if you grabbed a snake by the head it would mean certain death to the snake. Mostly because it would force it to cooperate.

Andrew missed by a quarter of a hair when trying to grab onto Ne'Os, causing him to fling himself forward in the process. Once again, Ne'Os was a dirty cheater. He quickly gained his balance however, turning around to look at Ne'Os again. "Once again," he taunted "you still can't win a fight without it being equal, can you? You've always been that way, even back at Africa. You had to have some sort of alternate dimention to try and help you out. It didn't work, now did it?"

The death eater laughed loudly at this last part "Andrew you are foolish indeed if you think your little venture in my alternate reality was my choice. I was searching for a reality where the deathly hallows were all intact" he said "And if you think i'm fighting equally with you then you truly are pathetic your fighting a snake" he shouted and even as Ne'Os released control on him he was still laughing at the truly sad situation Andrew was in. The snake had been slowed by the spell but it wasn't much. When he landed he turned and stared at Andrew again. He flicked his tung in and out as he thought how he would make his next move. He realized it would be difficult for him to win as a snake so he sent a mental message to the death eater that was with him. He nodded and aperated away with a loud crack. The sound would hopefully make Andrew turn to look he would take that distraction to slither into a crack in the wall where he could gather his strength and prepare for a jump to the Black lace weaver in the corner of the room. As he felt the spider's small mind intermingle with his own he made sure to keep hold on the snake so it would be safe in its hiding space. He ran across the ceiling until he was over Andrew here he would wait until he was ready to strike.



(Btw a bite from this spider will cause : Swelling for 3 days and nausea, Europe doesn't have very many deadly spiders that i could find)

Andrew swore loudly as both Ne'Os and the puppet disappeared. Frankly, he was getting sick and tired of the constant fleeing of Ne'Os and wished he would have at least put up somewhat of a challenge. That was always his problem anyway. Well if Ne'Os wanted to flee, so would Andrew. He didn't need to be found bloody back at Hogwarts, as the Death Eaters would surely suspect something...then Andrew had a small revelation. Ne'Os had killed Voldemort, losing their respect, but they had fought alongside them when they had invaded Grimmauld Place. Which meant he obviously had some connections at Hogwarts. At aht moment, Andrew felt as if he had been boxed into a jewlery box, feeling like that was no way out.

He would have to fight.

Snarling slightly at this realization, Andrew felt himself turn invisble, his body and clothes completely gone from exsitence. He knew Ne'Os wouldn't back down without a fight due to all the other brawls he had been through. He would just prepare himself for the moment and try to assassinate Andrew. It was almost as if Andrew could read Ne'Os like an open book. Andrew then treaded carefully, keeping his footsteps as silent as possible. He treaded carefully over to the door. He waited a moment, to try and confuse Ne'Os as best as he could, and then quickly pushed himself through the door. He tripped on his way out, falling onto the dirt, tearing some of the skin on his arm. It would've been worse if it had not been for his robes. "Crap!" he muttered, pushing himself back up to his feet.

Ne'OS watched the door open and then thought he heard something from beyond. He had the plan worked out he would follow him back to the grounds and watch him until he was sure that he was asleep then he would find the same species of spider and bite him on the neck. Sure it wouldn't kill him but it would let him know he would never be safe. The green snake exited the hole in the wall while he wasn't sure where Andrew was he knew he would have to appear eventually. He flicked his tung out to smell the air. He caught the sent of Andrew's blood he followed now knowing where he was exactly.

Andrew looked around at the entrance of the Three Broomsticks, looking for anything that Ne'Os could control. He knew for a fact that Ne'Os had possesed the snake that he had nearly killed...he wish he had killed it before. Plus there was also that Death Eater, yet he had no idea where he had been, most likely just waiting nearby anticipating his orders. He kept his hand over his wound, not feeling like any blood had been shed yet. But then again, his robes would've just absorbed the blood anyway.

He continued forward, feeling like he would have to come out of his invisibility soon. He pushed onward though, noticing that he had in fact reached the end of Hogsmeade. He would only have to sprint a little further until he was in Hogwarts, there he would be safe for the moment...even though it was pretty ironic. He looked over his shoulder again, sighing softly as he realized that Ne'Os wouldn't be able to get him when he reached the grounds. He wasn't there yet, so he wouldn't underestimate Ne'Os's power.

((I can enter hogwarts))

Ne'Os slithered along he got ahead of him and waited at the entrance closest to him he hid in the forest he spotted a owl sitting on the open gate. He jumped his mind over to it and waited. He used his mind control to keep the snake hidden. He figured by now it wouldn't have much of a mind left but it was probably best not to tempt it. He watched letting out a soft hoot Andrew probably believed he couldn't enter the grounds. That was only when the order was in control but now the death eaters had moved in he could come and go as he pleased.

((Well I'm not sure about that. I know that the Death Eaters are in control, but I don't think it'd be good for random people walking around the grounds. Just saying.))

Andrew continued forward, slowly but surely, only going about 20 feet before he stopped for a moment. A sharp pain ran through his arm, leaving him paralyzed for a second. He became visible again, looking down at what might have caused such a pain. It was a shard of glass pierced into his skin. He swore at himself softly, scolding the fact that he had not bothered to check earlier. He fell upon to one knee, pulling his gauntlet. The shard of glass was just one large one, so it would be quick. He used the gauntlet and began to tug onto the glass, feeling like he was ripping his skin apart. He increased his strength, feeling like he would faint, until he pulled out the glass, the red blood covering the end of the shard. He put his gauntlet onto the open wound and muttered Ekipsky, feeling the healing effects already starting to take place. He continued to hold the shard in his hand, like it was some sort of memento.

A memento of his failure.

At that moment, he felt another sharp wave of pain, but it was not from an injury. He had thought of Chase at that moment and how stupid he felt for just leaving her on the train. He should've at least tried to talk to her, to do anything that would have helped. But what did he do? Honor her request and left her alone. Stupid stupid stupid! he scolded again. But now reality flooded into his mind, hearing the sounds of his own blood dripping onto the ground. He needed to focus. Come on Andrew, he told him starting out on a slight jog just get to Hogwarts and apologize to Chase. Apologize and then everything will be back to normal! Who was he kidding? She would probably hate him with all her being.

((meh fine))

The owl flew from its perch and saw Andrew reappear and rip the glass out of his arm. It flew high above him and circled and then dove down at him at lightning speed its talons out in front of it ready to rip and tear at Andrew. he also sent a mental command to the snake to jump at Andrew. He knew the snake would get to Andrew before Ne'Os was even half way to him. By the time Andrew would have killed the snake it would leave him little time to defend himself from the owl.

Andrew continued forward slowly again, thinking that he was safe. That was his first mistake at being a warrior. He underestimated his foe, and should have realized that Ne'Os wasn't about to give up without a fight. He heard another hissing noise, realizing that it sounded a lot like the snake back at the Three Broomsticks. He quickly turned, seeing that the snake had tried to grapple onto his again. It was a pretty large snake, so he would have a challenging fight with it. Or so he thought. When the snake jumped at him, Andrew reacted quickly by grabbing it on the midsection of the snake, not being able to grab it at the head since he had to quickly sidestep. From that point, he moved his hands up, avoiding the snakes ferouis bit at he did, and managed to get to the head. Acting without thought, he opened up the snakes jaw and kept pulling and pulling until he heard a pop. He dropped the snake, seeing no resistance from it afterwords.

Andrew panted heavily, realizing that he had been bit on his right arm. He really hoped that snake had not been poisonous as it would take him some time to get back to Hogwarts. But once again, Andrew felt another sharp pain on his back. It was Ne'Os the owl. Andrew quickly fell to the ground, lying next to the dead snake as he tried to take cover. So now Ne'Os wanted to play that way...Andrew could do the same as well. But how would he do so? He couldn't even manage to grab onto bird. Grabbing a nearby stick that he estimated to be 2 feet long and 1 inch across, he continued to lie on the ground, waiting for the patter of the wings again. Once he did, he quickly got onto his knees and swung the stick as hard as he could, hoping to hit Ne'Os.
