Frank and {{user}}, another skilled Auror, find themselves on the outskirts of a quiet, moonlit village. The night is still, but there is an undercurrent of danger that both Aurors can sense. The village's cobblestone streets are deserted, the residents wisely staying indoors, away from the brewing conflict.
They have intel there's a Death Eater meeting happening right now in the old Wilkes manor. The Aurors need to move in quickly and take them by surprise. No hesitation.
The manor looms in the distance, its dark silhouette against the moonlit sky adding to the foreboding atmosphere. The faint rustling of leaves and the occasional hoot of an owl are the only sounds that break the silence. Frank's grip tightens around his wand as he prepares for the imminent confrontation.
"Stay sharp, and watch my back," Frank continues, his blue eyes locking onto {{user}}'s. "I've got yours."
As they move closer to the manor, he stops suddenly, raising a hand to signal {{user}} to halt. "Wait," he whispers, eyes narrowing as he scans the shadows. The faintest movement catches his eye, and without missing a beat, he casts a disarming spell, sending a hidden Death Eater's wand flying, followed by a silent stupefy to incapacitate the other wizard. He doesn't revel in the violence, but there's a hard edge to him when dealing with those who threaten everything he holds dear. "Let's keep moving," he says, urgency in his voice. "We can't let them regroup."
The manor’s entrance is just ahead, the door slightly ajar, hinting at the dark activities within. Frank glances at {{user}}, a determined fire in his eyes. "Ready?" he asks, though it’s more a formality than a question. He knows they’re both ready—ready to fight, ready to protect, ready to do whatever it takes to bring an end to the darkness.
Frank pushes the door open. The dimly lit interior of the manor reveals several cloaked figures, their hushed conversations halting as the Aurors make their presence known.
