Brightstone Village - morning 9:50am​

The seven Death Eaters apparated into the midst of the Brightstone Village, 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 9:50am 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.

 

[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 Brightstone Village at 9.05am 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 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 Brightstone Village but also Bleak Street and Makutu Mall and Obsidian Harbor, 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.

 

[Olivia Drage]

Hopping ahead of her mother and sister, Olivia basked in a world all her own. Nothing would stop the curly-haired toddler from enjoying herself on this shopping trip. She'd already dictated what she wanted for the Holidays. Not only did she intend on owning every toy in Brightstone Village, she was certain there would be a unicorn, a flying carpet, and a pink broomstick waiting all for her on Christmas day.

The three females were on their way to the Makatu Mall. Needless to say, they never made it there. Olivia took one look at the cloaked figures, pointed at them, and hollered, "Mama, why are their faces so funny?"

 

[Estrella Drage]

"Hush," Estrella hissed at her loud-mouthed daughter. The 22-year-old had seen such faces before, if only from a distance and in books. No matter what, these masked miscreants meant trouble. She was definitely not laughing. Estrella couldn't stand around and gawk. Even though the group wasn't making a move, the young mother couldn't put her faith in their not doing anything. Her first priority was to get her daughters the hell out of Brightstone.

Gripping Olivia by the wrist, she flicked her wand at Lydia's stroller, pushing it with a charm she'd taught herself. Estrella and her daughters turned their backs on both the audience and the show. The Obliviator didn't give a damn why the Death Eaters were disturbing this beautiful summer morning, and she wasn't going to wait and find out.

 

[Andromeda Fiorelli]

She was grateful now for the mask she wore and the long cloak, her eyes fell instantly on the woman nearby and recognition dawned on her. Andromeda felt the first pang ever of guilt for the path she had chosen but it passed as soon as it came. Estrella Drage had once been a friend but that was a long time ago, two other people in fact. The woman now a mother and a widow was a far cry from the Ravenclaw that Andromeda had known and the death eater in training was a far cry from the Gryffindor that had existed. Amber eyes moved from the retreating figure of mother and daughter to watch others race off as well. No doubt someone would alert the ministry but they would not be staying long enough to be caught. Just long enough for everyone to notice and for the dawning of the possibilities to begin.
