Obsidian Harbour - morning 9:00am​

The seven Death Eaters apparated into the midst of the Obsidian Harbour, the cool breeze billowing the dark capes and the morning sun glistening off of their masks. They were not as yet full Death Eaters, they were In-Training and this was a test of their devotion. A mission to determine how prepared they were to do what was asked of them no matter the dangers to themselves. Truly they were not expecting anything dangerous to come at them where they had appeared but one could never tell how a frightened person could react to an old nightmare. With hands clutching their wands but under orders not to use them offensively, they had cast protections spells wordlessly about themselves as soon as they had disapparated to the point in the somewhat busy thoroughfare. Stand and be seen, stand and let the world know that they still existed. Stand and let the fear slowly seep into their consciousness. It was 9:00am and the place was filling up with people on their way to work, passersby began to stop. There were gasps but there was also laughter and whispers of disbelief, as if the seven forms that stood motionless and deadly were nothing more than a Halloween prank. People could think what they would, perhaps the full scale of the Death Eaters in trainings mission would not become terrifying until the newspapers later that day would reveal that at the similar times through out the world, more of these masked people had appeared.

 

[Erica Matthews]

Erica had just recieved several Owl's stating that a group of Death Eaters had appeared at the Makutu Mall not more than ten minutes before as she quickly grabbed her cloak and made her way outside. There were a few crowds as people were making their way towards the shops for some early morning shopping however there was a particular crowd that had appeared all together. Erica looked in disbelief, there were seven Death Eater's standing calmly as if this were some practical joke. Erica pushed past several of the people as she witnessed the group place defensive spells around them, they seemed to be doing the same thing they were doing in Makutu as an owl flew by and dropped something in her hand. France just received reports of Death Eater sightings similar to the one at Makutu said the note written in the writing of her assistant Brian. Erica more determined than ever to get to the bottom of this moved even quicker towards the group. "Erica Matthews Editor for the Daily Prophet!" she called out as she got closer "Why are you doing this? Is this a joke or is something dangerous about to unfold?" Erica asked as people turned and looked at her. "Why are you guys appearing in France too?" Erica asked as a few people began to see this as something a little more serious than a practical joke. Another owl flew by dropping a note written the same however in faster writing. More sightings, England and in several other countries Erica crumbled the note as she stared at them "Answer me, you obviously have a message, that's why your doing this right?" Erica said boldly.

 

[Andrew Belo]

Locking up behind him, Andrew stuffed his wand in his pocket and decided to apparate to the Leaky Cauldron for some breakfast before he headed to practice. He'd spent the night in his home, something he didn't do very often now that he and Evette were an item again. As he landed and barely broke step, Andrew figured he would have just enough time to sit down, eat and enjoy a cup of coffee before practice. If he timed it right, he might not even be late. It was with that thought that Andrew realized that although the square was not overly crowded, it was crowded enough that there should have been more noise. There seemed to be a hushed tone to the air, the shrill cry of a robin breaking through the noise. "What's going on?" Andrew asked another guy even as he turned in the direction the crowd was staring. His heart seized with fear for a second before he chuckled nervously.

"They do realize Halloween's already come and gone, don't they?" he murmured to the stranger. The man didn't look convinced and Andrew took another closer look at the group. There were seven of them and they were simply standing and doing nothing. It was unnerving. "Those are good costumes...too good" he added uneasily. Andrew looked around at the crowd's reaction, wondering why people were simply standing around. If these were true death-eaters as they appeared, it would be best for everyone to move before they did do something. And if they were pranksters, the aurors should be called to put the fear in the shrouded individuals. Because there was nothing funny about this. Nothing at all. But, like the others, Andrew stood, entranced by the seven, especially when he saw the reporter move in and begin questioning them. Andrew waited with bated breath, his hand long since gone to his pocket where he gripped his wand for reassurance, wondering how and if they would respond to her.

 

[Kiera Kaster]

Kiera Potter was on her way to open Ollivanders for the day when she spotted seven fully outfitted Death Eaters in the middle of the Harbour street. Fear quickened in the young woman's heart as she thought of the resentment they all held towards her family and the things that the Silverbacks had put the Potters through. Fear turned to anger at the last thought. The young woman shot the group a glare, spotting Erica near the front, shouting questions at them. They didn't appear to be dangerous but she intended to owl Raziel and Cameron after she apparated to James. Kiera would feel safer if he would come sit with her at the shop for a few hours. With that, Kiera Potter disappeared.

 

[Andrew Bruke]

After waiting patiently for months, finally his first official mission had come. The idea of seeing pure fear in the faces of those who were about to witness the 'sightings' of them throughout NewZealand was very welcoming and Andrew was glad to be one amongst the seven that had been chosen to do this. As he apparated to Obsidian Harbor at 9.00am sharp, alongside with the other six he did not turn his emerald eyes to see them because he already knew the faces under the hoods as they were all In-Training and saw each other often. Putting protective spells around his wand he made sure that no angry witch or wizard who was brave enough to attack them would be able to cause any harm to him, they had been told before hand to use the spells only for protection.

He looked at the confused and scared audience that had formed infront of them. It was really hard to not use his wand offensively against the mudbloods and muggle lovers but the instructions for the mission had been very clear. It was to test their patience and more importantly their level of obideince and Andrew was not going to do something foolishly and have everything taken from him. He had been working hard with Dervish Green for months training and training more in dark arts so he could complete the training phase faster than others and this mission was a big ladder in achieving that goal. He heard one of the lady from the crowd shouting that she was the Editor of the Daily Prophet and was wanting to know what was going on. He stood there like the other six just looking at the crowd. What exactly was happening was for the audience to figure out and freak out in the process.

He stood their with the others watching more and more people watching them now with horrified looks. But the question was, as it was meant to be in everyone's heart. What were they doing here? But only they knew that and soon people all around the world were going to see appearances of hooded figures and he a small smile appeared on his face as he thought about the headlines of the newspapers tomorrow. It was not only going to be but Brightstone Village, Bleak Street and Makutu Mall the seven were covering all those areas and even though the mission didn't give him a chance to curse anyone or anything, he was pretty much excited that something was actually happening.

 

[Andromeda Fiorelli]

The smirk on her face was evident only to herself as faces expressed every emotion from fear to exasperation to sheer disbelief. It was the face of the reporter and her gnarling voice that caught Andromeda's attention. There would be no easy answers for Eric Matthews today nor any other reporter for that matter, they would see and that would be message enough and the more the woman investigated she would find out it was not just France either, it was every where. Death Eaters were slowly forming again and the small handfuls of trainees in various continents were to make themselves known, nothing else just to make themselves known. The fun she had a feeling would come later on future missions. For now however it was to strike fear or the rebirth of it into as many hearts as possible in one morning.

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Fate was the only one not panicking or running around scared out of their mind. In fact she was sitting quite calmly in a corner cafe sipping on a white tea. It was a new thing with Fate. A lot of the stuff she wore or drank was white. She loved the color. Her mismatched purple and black eyes peaked over the newspaper she had been reading when all the commotion started. Only peaked. Only one of their number would know who she was by here eyes anyway. The rest had not noticed the change in Zazuka Bones. It was just as well she didn't want any aquwerd questions popping up. Though it might have been fun confusing people as she pleased. Like her thrapest. Oh Fate did have some fun with the slip of healer.

Fate uncrossed and recrossed her legs as one of the hooded figures passes by her. "A Death Eater? Silly little puppy, Luxen would be disappointed." She said just loud enough for that hooded figure to hear then ducked back behind her newspaper. She couldn't even be sure that she had been heard but Fate didn't much care. She was here to watch the show anyway. What else would she be doing up at nine in the morning when she had much better things to be doing in her sleep. After making sure that Epiphany was off at school that was.

 

[Brian Getathorn XIX]

Brian had just received a few more owls with reported sightings of Death Eaters in New Zealand, he wondered if only for a moment if these sightings were simply people's imagination getting the best of them or perhaps people like Cynthia who simply wanted to cause more trouble in a situation that was already troublesome enough. Either way, Brian had to go inform Miss. Matthews of the news so that she could figure out what she wanted to do next. Brian ran out of the Daily Prophet offices as his black cloak billowed behind him. A few of the full fledged reporters were trying to say something to him however he simply ignored them as he made his way down towards the streets where it was painfully obvious where the commotion was taking place. Brian moved as quickly as he could through the crowd "Daily Prophet! Daily Prophet!" he shouted as he pushed through the crowd even though he was still only an intern.

Finally he was able to get to the front where Miss Matthews was staring straight into the face of a death eater. Brian's insides tingled slightly as he moved slowly towards her, if the Death Eaters knew that he was muggleborn than they would surely attack him he thought as he got close to Erica and whispered into her ears "There are even more Death Eater sightings" he said as he looked at the Death Eater's carefully. "Auror's are being stretched thin as they try to investigate an earlier claim however there should be some arriving soon" Brian said as something else caught his eye. "Z?" Brian said as he looked at his friend calmly drinking what appeared to be tea. He didn't know why she was there or why she was so calm but he did know that he needed to get her somewhere safe. He looked at Erica and the Death Eaters and than back towards Zazuka, this was not a good morning for the good guys it seemed.

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

"Z" came from beside her and Fate had to close her eyes in contempt. Z or Zazuka was not a name that Fate liked to be called. It was a mortal name and mortals where insects to anyone with insight. This bug however held a memory inside the one she had been created out of. Because of this she could not be herself. Time to act. she thought with a sigh. Crumpling up the newspaper Fate made tears brim just under her eyes. "Can you please tell me what's going on? These can't really be death eaters on the street?" She said eyes wide. If there was one thing that Fate wouldn't hide it was her purple right iris. The malevolent gleam seemed to attract attention more than her star filled black eyes ever did.

While she was speaking Fate quickly searched the mind of the girl she was inhabiting. Brian Gatathorn the nineteenth. Silly really how mortals made made a legacy out of the common of names. Fate could see now that he had been important to her host. The thought of it made her stomach turn. Really to be attached to something so beneath her was enough to make her vomit. Then again Zazuka didn't know just what a goddess she was. Fate made better uses of herself. "Why are you out anyway if they really are death eaters your in danger." She said afraid. The act was sickening to Fate but again she had to play the part for those that knew her host.

 

[Kailey Valentine]

Kailey was in Obsidian Harbour when death ethers appeared. She obviously started running only to run into one of them, stopping her in her tracks, petrified of what she had just done. "S-s-sorry sir." she muttered.

 

[Hadan Winters]

Hadan arrived with the other six, her appearance only differing slightly from beneath the mask. Hidden from the world, she only seemed like an addition to the force. She knew what the mission was, and she was not itching to get her wand out and do damage. Hadan was patient as ever, and her red eyes flickered over to some others in the streets. One was a daily reporter, and obviously they were not going to be here for an interview. Why would they tell the Daily Prophet what they were up to? Hadan thought about laughing, but her feminine voice would definitely narrow down the suspects of just who they were, and why they were here. Just doing this was rising more and more fears into the hearts that were once damaged by the wars caused by the leader they idolize in the grave. Hadan shifted her stance once more, and she even saw a few ex classmates. Hadan glanced over at Andromeda, wondering if she too recognized them. How those have changed since graduation.
