Smart, but strong you are not.

Hermione continues to watch Ciri and her familiar, person? Battle with such voracity that it scares her. The young girl that had been a rabbit only moments ago swings a katana that is bigger than she is with such ease and speed that she feel incredibly vulnerable in comparison.

Ciri'd just crippled one vampire and was darting her eyes around quickly to try and tell where the next attack would be, her steel sword isn't as affective as a silver one but the flames more than make up for it, the vampire she'd dodged comes sprinting at her with it's silver blade coming down from an overheard strike, from her experience sparring with Nerissa and Reima she could tell she wouldn't be able to block the blow without being terribly injured. Instead she twirls out of the way as the sword cleaves into the floor, destroying the stone below. As Ciri turns she flicks her sword at the vampires neck, presumably severing an artery considering the vampires reaction. It immediately throws itself backwards holding it's neck that's been simultaneously cut and seared, blood trickled through it's fingers as it snarls at her, long fangs bared. However it doesn't get long to glare at Ciri as a ruby-like blade penetrate the back of it's head and out of it's eye, killing it instantly and rendering it dust.

Ciri nods at Nerissa who quickly retrieves her blade to block another attack while leaping out of the way of one aimed at her. Truly if the Auror's always took this long it wouldn't surprise her if Voldemort just won outright!

She deflects another sword strike before pointing the tip of her staff at them and casting an overpowered "Reducto!" which hits the vampires chest and explodes out of it's back, causing the rest of it's body to puff into ash.

Nerissa's lips were upturned as she continued to ravage through the ranks of vampires, she considered this retribution for her parents and gladly sliced through any vampire that'd dare present themselves. Her strength was slightly lesser than her older counterparts but her speed was unmatched among their ranks, this was primarily due to the training Ciri and Reima had been putting her through almost daily. Additionally, she had something these bloodsuckers didn't.

After kicking a body off of her sword she swipes her left hand towards an approaching vampire, causing blood to coalesce out of her self inflicted wound and harden into long claws attached to whip like tendrils, she had created this after remembering her mother using it before her life was snuffed out. It apparently proved effective when the claws penetrated the vampires body she wrenched them out, causing huge gashes and wound to appear on it's body, the blood from her unfortunate victim was also drained provided Nerissa with more ammunition to use on it's comrades.

Due to the huge amount of pain the vampire was in Nerissa had no problem stepping low and bisecting it with Iaito, the shower of ashes coated her form creating a truly terrifying sight for the other vampires who's been tasks with her capture.

While the other were preoccupied Hermione continued to stand stock still with her wand pointing at the floor, fearing enveloping her like a cloud.

Suddenly she hears light footsteps behind her, when she musters the courage to turn she sees a grinning fanged face glaring at her due to it's taller height. She can't even give a scream before it grabs her throat and lifts her off of the ground, causing her to choke and gurgle. Her eyes tear up as she see's it's mouth approaching her neck, as a last ditch attempt she brings her wand up and points it at it's chest and casts "Expelliarmus" from her strangled position, the red bolt it's and causes Hermione to be flung from it's hands and towards Nerissa. She rolls to a stop below the young girls feet causing the ash covered fourteen year old to glance at her before returning her focus to the enemies surrounding them.

The vampire Hermione had just escaped from looks at her fiercely and starts walking over, drawing a sword from it's belt and approaching the back of Nerissa who's entangled with two others. Hermione tries to get up to stop his advance but the pain in her back and neck cause her to halt, however as it gets closer and closer she becomes more frantic. The vampire quickly raises it's blade behind Nerissa in an attempt to behead her but finds a pain in it's chest... Hermione had tried to get up to stop it's attack but stumbled, she looks at the ground fearing for Ciri's friend but realises she's not holding her wand? Looking up she sees the handle of her faithful companion sticking from the vampires chest... It gives a gasp before bursting into ash, letting her now rather pointy wand clatter to the floor.

Eventually in the background the trio hear "AURORS DROP YOUR WEAPONS", causing Ciri and Nerissa to lock eyes before the latter turns back into a rabbit. It's not long before the red cloaked men barrel onto the scene casting various curses at the vampires, causing them to reluctantly retreat.

Ciri falls onto her ass with Snuffle resting on her legs as she breathes heavily, she has various wounds covering her body from barely dodged blows but nothing fatal, indeed the only thing she's upset about is her new outfit being completely ruined.

Ciri "Hemione? You okay?" she asks the still shaky girl.

Hermione "Y-yes... I think..."

Not long after their intervention the Auror's start to interrogate them, until they realise one of them is Ciri Rivia. Indeed it seemed as though these people appreciated the services she'd done for the community and after a brief statement allowed them to return to Hogwarts.
