With a loud BANG, smoke filled the empty quidditch field without warning. A figure appeared, blurry from the smoke, laughing it's head off. The figure fell to the ground and laid on their back, a stolen wand raised in the air. "FINALLY!" the insane, happy voice of the figure called, rejoicing the fact that she was now free. Ah, how wonderful those words sounded. Free. Free. FREE! After nine LONG months, she was free! Who was this girl? It is none other than Isabella Marie Johnston, or more worldly known as 'Bella the Nut'. Slowly Bella stood up, taking in a deep breath of fresh air, only to cough insanely from the smoke. Nope, nothing has changed. Same old insane Bella. With a flick of the stolen wand, the smoke disappeared and she took another deep breath of fresh air, this time with more success. Her loud, insane laugh filled the stadium as she held her arms spread out and began spinning, as if she was in The Sound of Music. "FREE!!!" she screeched loudly. The night before she had managed to escape the mental hospital. At dinner, the guard forgot his neck guard (in case the nut tried to strangle him) and Bella lunged at him, cutting off his windpipe. She took the careless guards wand, screamed with victory, and another guard came running. She killed him happily with the stolen wand, and escaped. Now she was HERE! FREE! And then she could search for the four she hated most. James, Brent, and Jakey-Wakey would go first, considering that they were the ones who caused her to be in Azcaban TWICE! Claire would be next considering she put her in the mental hospital. But James, Brent, and Jakey-Wakey would go first....

(If anyone mentions how I cannot start a post without dialog,I WILL hurt them.) A softly talking magical phone was murmuring something, it sounded like 'But, Mildred, you know I'm busy! I'm telling you you'll just have to wait.' "And I'm telling you that you've gotta get your little twenty-three year old arse over here before I get sent off to Azkaban!" Mil Lass (Otherwise known as 'Janice Delacray') was hiding in a secure hiding spot under the seats. The only light came from a window that was where a person in the first row's feet may've been. She wasn't exactly in the best of places, it was cramped and only had one phone. A bed made of cheap mattress and foam was most of the place. But she was assured it was safe. G.R.I.M had set up hideaway places like this many years ago in case of situations such as this. There was one in almost every major town, muggle or no and in nearly every major wizard and muggle place of interest. This was number 345 out of about 12938 G.R.I.M hideaways in Europe alone. Mil had estimated over a million in the Americas. But that was besides the point. She was safe. Until Bella happened to puff in. "Love ya, cousin. But I have to go." Mil spoke into the phone. "Do NOT leave that safe house under any circumstances!" Fate yelled into the phone. "Screw you." Mil said simply, and hung up. She dusted out of the safe house (Because that's the only way you could really get in without apparating). The first thing she did was consider how to capture or keep Bella there until the authorities arrive. Having read the paper, she knew that she could probably secure Bella and make the courts take pity upon her. Stupid idea? Yes. But what else was she supposted to do? Be bored? And besides, if she was here with Bella, she could, perhaps, talk to James. James was head Auror. Which meant that James would be looking for Bella. Mil sometimes wondered if James felt a simularity to J.Edgar Hoover. The head G-Man for the FBI in the 20th century. They were both heads of their sectors (J.Edgar just so happened to be more powerful when it came to connections). She was sitting in one of the seats ibn dust form. Not very apparent, but invisable unless someone truely looked.

James Potter appeared just outside the quidditch stadium. While there would normally have been a pop, he had been training and had been able to make his pops silent. He did not want to alert Bella, if she was here, to their presence. He waited for the rest of his team to show up but did take in his surroundings. He had apperated just outside the south gate of the pitch and he knew that Claire and Brent would be joining him soon. He quickly drew his wand and carefully walked to the gate so he could see onto the pitch. There he saw Bella and he pulled back, Brent would have to get a raise for thinking of this place as a quick escape for her. He waited for his backup, and knew that while having only three agents on this case was dangerous it was needed. Brent and Claire had been the only ones last time to put Bella away and no one else knew her style and he did not need anyone getting severely hurt on this mission. He was in the usual Auror field outfit. Pants that moved with him and wouldn’t slow him down, and a long sleeve black shirt with the Auror symbol on his. He just thanked god he didn’t wear glasses like his father.

Though her crack from apparating wasn't silent, she was working on making it quieter than it should be. And this was an occasion where she needed it quiet. Well, of course, that didn't work. A loud pop was heard behind James, and there stood Claire, cursing under her breath. Bella, to busy enjoying her freedom did not notice the crack out side the stadium and continued spinning happily before she fell to the ground, laughing insanely. "Ahhhh. I love freedom!" she yelled happily. "Nutter," Claire mumbled softly looking at her from a crack through the gate. Her eyes became hard. "Should we put a spell around the stadium so she can't apparate out...But if we need back up, others can apparate in?" she whispered. Like James, she too was wearing her field Auror out fit: blue jeans and a long sleeve black shirt, also with the Auror symbol on it.

Brent Apparated next to them after a second, with a pop at least as loud as Claire's. "Damn, I thought I had that fixed..." He muttered. He probably would have been able to Apparate silently had he gotten some sleep in the last 24 hours. He was wearing black and blue pants that had a few rips and tears in them from his previous mission, and a short sleeve black shirt with the Auror symbol. That was a dumb move on his part, as it was pretty cold. He wished he had thought to bring a light jacket at least, but too late now.
((And, just to make this interesting...))
Jake Tripp glided into the London Pitch on his broom, coasting silently toward the stands. He sat down behind the last of the seats to put on his gloves and make sure his broom was properly working.

“Yes, anti-apperating spell.” James said quickly casting one, “It’s just going to be us, and Bella. I do not want anyone else getting involved in this mission if I can help it. We are the only ones who have battled and then captured her and getting someone else involved or hurt is not on my to-do list.” James explained. “Let’s get this over with. Brent to the north entrance, and Claire to the west entrance. There is no east and I will take this south. If we enclose her, we will keep her here…hopefully.” James said.

Brent nodded and headed toward his entrance at a quick jog. He didn't risk Apparating again in case it made another loud pop. He kept his wand out just in case. Once he reached the entrance, he looked in carefully, wand pointing inside, but he was too far away to do anything yet.
Jake leaned over to tie his shoes on, making them much tighter than he normally did. As he tugged on a lace, his hand slipped and hit the ground, making a soft thud which echoed a few times. Not realizing he wasn't alone, he simply continued tying his shoes.

CLaire nodded. She raised her wand to the sky and then lowered it again. "No apparating in or out," she nodded. Then she took off to the west entrance without another word. When she reached the entrance, she peeked inside.
Bella eyes scaned the stands happily and her eyes landed on figure in perticular. Jake Tripp. An small, crackle escaped her lips as she looked up at her first victim. Her eyes literaly gleamed with joy. She could have just killed him right then and there, but she HAD to say something. "WHY LOOK! IT'S JAKEY-WAKEY!" She cried happily, standing up.

Jake froze. He reached for his wand, only to realize he had forgotten it at his house when he changed clothes. Damn. He looked up to see Bella the Nut in the middle of the Pitch. Jake stood up slowly, hands facing her, palms out, at shoulder level: trying to convince her not to do anything she would regret, and that he wasn't currently a threat. "Hi, Bella!" He yelled back. "Long time, no see!" He immediately regretted saying it and tried not to wince.
Brent tensed. Jake was here? Of all the times he could practice, he had to do it now? Swearing, Brent's mind told him to be practical and hold his position. James, Claire, and him would easily overpower Bella and it would be over. It was simple probability and logic.
He heard Jake's response. Screw logic, he thought, stepping into the entrance and pointing his wand at Bella, easily visible.

Claire saw Brent move into veiw from her position. Wanting to yell Wait for orders, she cursed, and stepped out, wand raised as well, clearly visible as well. Her eyes flickered to Jake and she cursed. Now she saw why Brent left his position. Bloody idiot coming to practice today of all days!
Bella crackled. "Jakey-Wakey...Brenty and Clairey too! Oh how wonderful...Now all we need his James-Wamsey and this could be a fun little party!" she crackled happily.

James looked out onto the pitch and was going to signal his group to head in and saw Brent already there and Jake and held back a groan. 'bloody hell the raise, he'll be lucky to get out of a new desk job now. James thought. IDIOT!!! he thought again wanting to yell it. Brent was going to be in for a SERIOUS lecture at the end of this. James also entered the pitch, doing it silently, thanking that he was behind Bella. If he needed to, he could petrify her from behind if needed.

Jake saw Brent and felt a mixture of relief and terror. When Claire came out too, terror took over. What if Bella somehow got all of them killed? Alone, Jake could be an idiot and die without much guilt, except for actually dying himself...with them there, it got more difficult.
Without Bella knowing, Jake slipped his foot underneath his broomstick. In one quick motion he launched in straight up in front of him and jumped on, so that one foot was on the front and one was on the back. He did a little back flip to catch his balance, and stopped facing Bella.
Brent saw Claire and James and felt kind of guilty. He couldn't believe he had walked in without help. But, in the end, it had given Jake the second to get on his broom. But still...it was an idiotic thing to do. Sighing, he kept his wand pointed at Bella.

Bella laughed insanly. That was EXACTLY what she wanted Jake to do. Smoke filled the stdium once more, blocking everyone's veiw. The one thing she didn't think of, was it blocked hers as well. She ran blind through the stadium, running head on into Claire. Relizing her mistake she took off run to the other exit, occasionly running into the stands.
Claire was knocked to the ground, breath knocked out of her. "BRENT! SHE"S COMING TO YOU!" she tried to yell, but she couldn't be sure if he had even heard her. Cursing, she resumed her position.

Brent heard a yell and ran toward the source, which he guessed was Claire. He assumed that Jake could take care of himself. He sprinted forward, wand out, but he couldn't see anything at all. "Claire?" He yelled. "CLAIRE?" Suddenly Brent tripped on a stair and hit the ground hard, the wind knocked out of him. He thought he heard footsteps, and tried to figure out whose they were.
Jake, meanwhile, flew into the air. Deciding that he was involved and couldn't just leave, he dove toward where a muffled yell was heard. Suddenly he heard another voice yelling, "Claire?" and he stopped the broom, turning toward it. But it seemed impossible to pinpoint the voice. He sped up again, and didn't realize he was heading down instead of from side to side. THUD! He crashed into the ground and was thrown forward off the broom, landing on his back and groaning.

Mildred was about to dust herself back into her safety hole. But found that she could not. In fact, now she was having trouble keeping shape. As her finger appeared, she suddenly knew what James had done to keep people out and to keep people in. Unfortunately for her, Apparating spells, for some reason, worked on dusting as well. She ducked behind the seats and watched Bella. She prayed to whatever God she believed was out there (Hey, you cannot be a Grim Reaper and not believe that there's something more). Actually, she was praying that Bella wouldn't go insane (More than already) and kill everyone. She felt horrible about this, but she was hardly scared for James. She felt bad for the two, one that she was sure had a kid. She had reaped someone who knew him once. She couldn't remember who he was, though. But his brother was Robb's old student (The only one who actually still talks to him), and so she knew him to an extent. But now smoke was filling the stadium and she began to cough (Reapers have very sensitive allergies, for those who don't know.) She jumped down from the stands and began to keep to the sides. She was hardly able to see anyone except Bella. She wanted to do something desperately. But then something came into her thoughts. If Bella was caught, then they'd come after Mildred next. If James didn't know where she was, then Brent would. Why? Because Brent was Jake's brother. Jake talked to Robb and she was certain that, if questioned, Robb would rat her ass out to anyone and everyone. In fact, Millie (Yes, I'm calling her Millie again!) knew that he was probably going to visit his Godson this very moment to tell him everything he knew about Mildred Lass, A.K.A 'Janice Delacray' and the known killer of the Minister of Magic. Well, she has the Aurors after her. Robb will rat her out. If they catch Bella, they'll come after her next. If they catch her with her help? She'll be the second person they put cuffs on. Damn these trying situations. Well, she could at least help the person who wasn't a cop. She ran twords the sound of groaning and the sounds of a cracked broom. "Tripp?" Mil asked when she was close enough. "What can I do to help?" (Danny-Xa, FYI, she's talking to JAKE.

James sighed and was frustrated, because no one thought to CLEAR the smoke, so he used the same spell Bella had used and the smoke was gone. He looked around the pitch and held in a groan. Brent had run into stairs and Jake had gotten hurt and Claire was on the ground. Bella was running around and it looked like Mil was next to Jake. He REALLY didn’t want to have to arrest Mil, but if he saw her there would be no way he couldn’t. “Petrificus Totalious!” (I don’t care about spelling so don’t bother me about it!) James yelled his wand pointed at Bella. He was no going to waist time with talking and made his way closer to the action.

She shrieked dodging the spell. As she looked around, Brent had left thenorth entrance open. If she could get out of there, she could apparate, and she would finally be free. She put the smoke up once more, heading full speed to the exit, knowing she didn't have much time. She ran into the stands twice, but she was closer to the exit now.
"BRENT!"Claire called in a clearer voice, standing up. This time she cleared the smoke. "BRENT! THE NORTH ENTRANCE!" she cried despertly.
Bella let out an insane crackle. Almost there...She put a sheild around her, incase Jamesy tried to stun her again. But the shield wasn't strong at all. In fact it was already fading. But Bella paid no attention to that.

James sighed and easily cleared the smoke again, chasing after her. “Accio BELLA!” He screamed dodging out of the way in case she came flying towards him, she would crash into the stonewall. He then put the gates for the stands down, so the only way out was up and over…and since Jake’s broom was broken…they’d be stuck here until he un-did his spells. “You have no where to go Bella….surrender now and you won’t be harmed…simply stuck back where you belong. If you fight us, we are allowed to use any means necessary.”

Okay, so this didn't go exactly as planed. With a screech, she flew up into the air and into the stone wall. She laid on the ground, crackling insanly."Jamesy, Jamesy...I've been planning this for NINE MOUNTHS! Ever since Clairey put me in the hospital for MENTAL people! I'M NOT MENTAL!" she exclaimed angrily. "Bye, bye," she said. A thick, pink smoke filled the feild this time. There was a loud shriek. When the smoke cleared, Bella had a hold of Claire's throat, crackling insanly. "Do you want me to kill her like I did to that silly guardy?"

Mil ignored Jake for a moment and looked over to Bella. She could not intervene. The last time she had done that, the Aurors (Before James was head) had lost their man because she had decided to be a good samaritan. So she just watched, but was thinking of healing spells. She hardly knew any because she had worked with Creatures. Not Herbs and healing. Mildred, being Mildred, did not have the basic ability to run out of there. Besides, the pink smoke was making her gag. She could see James, but hardly. She turned and tried not to catch his eye. "Okay Tripp. Tell me what's wrong, andI'll probably be able to help." She thought about the mild course on healing she had taken in seventh year. It may not have been a lot, but it may be enough for Jake. It didn't look that serious, honestly.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you Miss Johnston,"growled a deep voice from behind Bella. Adam had his wand pointed at her back. "Release her and I promise I'll try not to kill you,"he said, coldly. Adam had just nearly arrived at the scene after hearing several loud chaotic crashes coming from the field. Ok..I handle dragons on a daily basis.. He thought to himself, biting his lower lip. Crazy people can't be that bad... He was sadly mistaken.

Bella made another insane crackle. "ADAM-WADDUM!" she called happily, angleing her and Claire so that Bella's back wasn't facing anyone. "Kill me, I'll kill Clairey-Wariy! I've been wanting to anyway!" she said happily. "But nice of you to join the party! YAY! Now everyone is here!" she said happily.

Jake finally drifted back into consciousness to hear a familiar voice. He couldn't make out the words. He raised himself up with his right arm and immediately collapsed with a quick gasp. He lay back, trying not to put any pressure on his arm. Apparently it had suffered most of the impact and was broken in at least one place. He was lucky that was all.
Brent meanwhile, quickly got up, pointing his wand at Bella. He was about to send a Stupefy when she got Claire. Crap... "Bella, calm down." Brent said simply, lowering his wand a bit. "If you kill her, you're as good as locked up again, and it will be in a high-security vault if that's what it takes. So don't do anything you'll regret..."

"Jake." Millie was darned determined to make sure that she could help someone. "Okay, if you can hear me, groan. I think you broke your arm and this is Millie. I may have to do some work that may not be very comfortable. But it will work. Because I cannot help James, Claire, Brent, or Adam against Bella. I'm a soon-to-be convicted fellon who most probably killed the minister. But you can. So I'm going to do some work that'll help it heal a bit faster, okay?"

Claire tried to meet Brent, James, or Adam's gaze. "Stun her bloody side!" she mouthed, choking under Bella's grip. Holy crap, she's strong... Claire thought bitterly.
Bella just meerly laughed. "Ha! Not if you let me go. Let me go unharmed, and I'll release Clairey-Weary! But if you don't, I'll just kill her...After all, she put me in the mental hospital," she said happily.
