Severus and Fleur, however, were slinging fire of their own as they countered the shadowy protrusions that were attacking them. The tendrils of shadow grew sharp and rose from the ground, attempting to stab and slash at the pair of them. Ronald had his wand out, blasting into the pile of vampires acting as human shields with Confringo while Bertrand found himself dueling Erik and a few of the magical Renfields and went straight for dismemberment. Harry had the Derringer pointed back down the hallway to the catacombs as he fished out his wand and grunted as he sealed and warded the door shut. No need to get flanked that way, Harry thought as searing pain shot through him again.
