Well really I think that it would probably be a mix of brute force and cleverness. I mean obviously they are outnumbered, but the students are outskilled. Maybe what could happen would be something like we were saying the younger students are being sneaked out. Brady (me) could start dueling a deva when they start to notice that students aren't coming back, distracting everyone from the fact that the younger students are missing. Then when the duel gets going, the guerilla warfare stuff could start... and the rest of the younger students could be freed. Then maybe someone like Raynor could have gotten a wand at some point, and sees a chance to get the teachers wands back? That way the sides are no longer even, and the Deva could be forced out in a resonable fashion.
Of course then Raynor and Shaw can match up, and he can flee when he starts to lose, she might have to get her wand back, as I don't know if he would keep it on him. Then I know both Schmidt and Jedynak want a piece of Brady. Maybe he's fighting Schmidt and the some students help him out and he moves on? And Sienna London could be overpowered by either the students or a teacher. They I guess would run after a while...
Either way I vote for keeping DADA, though is the Headmaster / Headmistress allowed to teach still? Or do they have to give up that job? Because I don't know, you would think that Dumbledore would do both, wouldn't you?

Perhaps the deva came in through the front gate? I mean... we don't have ministry protection do we? Uhh I'm sure I remember Hermione saying you couldn't fly out (via brooms is all I mean) when Harry suggested it. When Dumbledor flew in he of course probably changed the spells. *goes to check the books* I mean I'm sure theres no spell against the magical animals flying in and out, because that would prevent them leaving or coming. I mean I'm sure its never mentioned wether they have migratory pattens but they wouldn't have spells against the animals. Hence why that would be viable. And wouldn't Ari and Krissy be good people to fight the deva because they both have their wands? I'm not sure if Hiro and Charlie have their's though? I'm not sure. But I know Krissy wants to curse someone. Oh and if Sienna is getting captured, and if Ari wants to go with herself getting into a fight with Sienna (which from what I understand they had already planned out) Krissy could be one of the ones to help take her down. She would definitely want to take her down if she realised she was one of the ones involved in Ari's crash, or more importantly because she had injured Ari. However their just random idea's, don't have to hapen I'll check my books tonight and see if I can find anything about flying into Hogwarts

How about having a military-gameish attack on the DEVA? Something along the lines of a tag sort of thing... with Juni or wand sparks as the start of the attack. Here's what I was thinking: Basically what everyone else was thinking, a surprise attack of sorts and get rid of the DEVA that way. But then, after reading what Hiro wrote, I was thinking, how about if you incorporate the two, by having the six students on the outside and some ministry people (if that's possible) come back down to the entrance hall tag team or let the team inside the great hall know they're inside somehow and start of a surprise attack like that? That way, the group from the entrance hall could surprise the DEVA people there and the ones inside the great hall do the same inside... meaning the DEVA members gets surprised more quickly and ultimately surrender in the end? And also, if there was enough wands, wouldn't it be best if the people from the outside sneak some wands back to the great hall? If there was enough, that is.

Yay for my little sister because shes a genius. Lol. I looked through my books and was having no luck. But I know why I thought it wasn't visable. Because Sirius Black wouldn't have been able to do it. But that was just because the dementors would have seen him. But either way. It has to be possible to fly in on brooms now that I think clearly about it. The people who came to pick up Norbert came on brooms. Had I thought of that originally I would have remembered. Though I also have a feeling there was a part in one of the movies that said it wasn't possible, but it wouldnt be the first time a movie had a wrong fact in it But yes, i retract my previous statement and it is possible.

....I guess a seventh year wouldn't do much good against Deva, but sixth years are clearly top-notch in that department. You're sick and Keagan and Gail hardly post... and yes, we are ;D Of course, if you're up to it, three on two is always better. I want to be clear... Charlie and Drew are taking the two Deva down from the outside, not through the hallway. The element of surprise is going to buy us a lot of time. And yes, both Charlie and I have wands now. Of course Krissy (and Ari if she's not throwing up anymore) would be a perfect person to fight on the inside, but not until, like Brady says, the Deva gets suspicious. And yes, I'm positive that flying is still aloowed in and out unless extra spells have been put up. Again, the Deva could come in any way they wwant without added protection. and if I read Raynor's letter right, no, the Ministry is really not about to do much, fearing any sort of attack might make things worse. Like I said, if we have Minsitry who wants to get involved, I think that's great, but they'll probably be doing it without any real authority. Last, it's our site. The Headmistress can do whatever she wants Besides, Raynor was running the school anyway and still teaching classes, why not now?

My character does run a wand shop... so if lots of extra wands are needed it could be arranged, assuming someone could get in touch with Nick. He could fly, apparate, floo, do the macarena dance, etc. to get close to Hogwarts and deliver a mass supply of wands and then distribute. Obviously a replacement is never as good as an original, but a wand is a wand sorta. Actually, if you guys need any sort of random outsider with no Ministry affiliation for any reason, let me know.

Does a writer not posting change the character or the character? Besides, where'd Charlie get a wand? Keagan would totally be in on taking out the courtyard Deva, if only because she's feeling reckless and restless. Dang, I'd add more, but I gotta run. I'll check back later.

Brady I'm up for that, I'm even up for Apollo getting out Hurt, that would give him all the more dislike.

If the writer doesn't write, then how do we get anything done? And of course it doesn't change the character. It's just that Charlie was the only one who verified in the thread that she was ready to take Deva out so she was the only one I felt safe speaking for. Like I said to Ari, the more wands we have against those two deva, the better off we are of course And she has a wand because I gave her mine Nick, do you have anyone (IC of course) on the inside who might think of contacting you? because I really want to see that Macarena ;D

Keagan, I got the wand from Drew when they all get into the Ravenclaw abode.
Okay, I'm basically riding with what's being said because IC Charlie is not a mastermind. She's more of the rag-tag henchman who sometimes doesn't follow by the rules (so far very rarely-- so I'm not counting on that to be right).

I suppose we got to clearing up my own timeline.
Okay, so the events that lead up to the capture... During the surprise attack, Sienna makes her own rallies and tries to tie down any of the kids that she can (as in, literal ties. They're easy to take off, though, because that was the only thing she could think of in the moment of panic). In the brush of people, Ari and Sienna come into the brawl. Sienna, throroughly annoyed at this considering that a) she's tired of looking at (no offense!!) teenage brats and b) she had never seen Ari before (besides the car accident months back), so the fact that she's around meant they had missed someone during the takeover, just take it out especially on Arianna. The procedure? Well a strong variation of the stinging hex. A large force of power to knock her back. When Sienna's at the climax of her annoyance, however now getting to be a bit more in tune to her sadism: body binding, the "jelly brain jinx", and the beginning of a stranglehold by magic. Of course, you may rule out what you deem unnecessary, Ari. But if you are good with that, I'm thinking that at some point (probably after stinging hex or the knock back?), Ari can fire something that knocks the mask off of her face. That way Krissy can get around to recognizing Sienna and attack her by the time she gets to stranglehold (one of those moments where the villian uses the small moment to give the protagnist a few last words). Since it's a surprise, Krissy, choose your weapon of choice wisely. Sienna does have a good amount of power to her magic.
Anything else I ought to address?

I've always imagined Ari up there with Hermione and Ginny in the way of her wand work, so she could do quite a bit of damage. Her only problem is inexperience with duels, so to make things realistic, she might be able to get in one or two lucky hits with a stunner or something ;D I can't think of any other good spells right now >.<

OOO I get to be involved And knocking the mask of is a good idea I originally completely forgot about the deva having masks (whoops ) As for a hex I'll have to consider it. Krissy is gonna be mightily annoyed and she will want revenge. Hmm the two best things I could consider her doing would be to disable Sienna which would be expeliarmus or the full body bind jynx. She wouldn't go with expelliarmus though because shes got Ari by the neck so I can't see it hurting her much. Hmm I could see Krissy being an idiot and footy tackeling Sienna to get her off of Ari, but then it would end up in something between Sienna and Krissy and someone else would probably be needed as assistance. Hmm I'll think about it some and then PM you.

With Ari's last breath, she'll hex the snot out of Sienna then pass out.... Just kidding I'd say Ari would be unconscious and wake up in the Hospital Wing some time later....Maybe by then I can get into things again...

Well hmmm... I suppose I'm willing to have Brady battered and bruised, maybe a couple of cuts to go along with his big bruised head, and maybe a sprain or something, I don't think he could be seriously hurt... or he might have to wait to teach. So Brady can be beaten a little...
