[Lucius Malfoy]

"Now, now," Lucius gave a slight shake of his head as that cordial smile returned to his expression and he took a slow step toward Amycus, "there's no need for this to get violent, is there? What I'm asking is very simple--well within your capabilities, I trust."

[Alecto Carrow]

Alecto blocked his path "Hmm, perhaps… or perhaps you can just go back out and mind your business. After all, we ARE assigned as Deputy Headmasters of this school… you… well you should be working on your creature lesson plan shouldn't you? After all we wouldn't want the dark Lord to deem you *totally* useless… then he may remove you from the school." She tilted her head a if considering "Hmm… that would leave your son here with us to guide him… and your wife at your home with the Dark Lord to guide her… and you…. where, again?"

[Lucius Malfoy]

Lucius shifted his silver stare briefly to rest on Alecto when she stepped between them, and he merely arched a single brow at her words. "Well, seeing as I'm still here for the time being, my son is my business," he drawled. "So, if you don't mind, perhaps you shouldn't be the one interfering."

[Amycus Carrow]

All this polite dancing was growing boring...

Amycus's fingers curled tighter in the boys hair as his wand pressed harder against Draco's throat.

"No it doesn't *need* to get violent, Lucius," he purred to the man, expression wicked. "But where would be the fun in that...? I think it's time you learned your place in the new pecking order... friend. Don't you agree sis?"

[Alecto Carrow]

Alecto only smiled as Lucius continued to talk in circles, she just held he wand and waited...

[Amycus Carrow]

Taking Alecto's lack of response as an agreement, Amycus turned his head slightly so that his lips brushed Draco's ear.

"Scream pretty for me, wont you sweetness?" he breathed before violently tossing the boy to the ground and clear of his form, his wand levelled at the blonde.

"Ignis concuto!"

Blue lighting flashed from his wand tip slaming into Draco's chest, the electricity flowing over his form as it found passages in his blood and nerves, sparks dancing off him in a strangely beautiful if grisley display.

[Lucius Malfoy]

Lucius instantly shot a quick series of high-level cutting curses toward Alecto, to keep her wand busy, before taking a side-step around her and dashing toward his son, his eyes fixed on Amycus as he did so, to whom he sent a volley of blasting curses and a Cruciatus--if he chose to dodge or block, one of them would likely hit him. Either way, it should occupy him, and put Draco in the clear. He kept note of Alecto's movements from the corner of his eye.

[Alecto Carrow]

Alecto had been watching for his movement, she saw it, the twitch in his hand and instantly threw up a strong shield charm and as he leveled a curse at her twin she returned it with a cruccio of her own.

[Amycus Carrow]

Lucius was quick there was no doubt, but he was still fighting a battle on two fronts - quickness wasn't enough. By lashing out at his twin first he betrayed his intentions and left himself open for a perilous minute. Amycus might be enjoying the sounds of Draco's tormet, but he was in this instance the lesser of the dark wizard's interests. His attention had been on Lucius all though his casting, waiting for him to make his move, though even if that were not true, attacking Alecto would have been enough in itself to redirect his attentions.

Instantly dropping his spell on the boy, the male Carrow's wand lashed up, firing a bolt of the same electrical current spell towards the elder Malfoy before the onslaught of blasting attacks forced him to abandon his own offence in favour of shielding and dodging the crucio, body throwing itself to the side to avoid the unforgivable - as *interesting* as it would be to try Lucius's wrath, right now he was more interested in winning than indulging his more mad habits.

The fact that he was currently forced to concentrate on defence did not worry him either right now... Lucius had left ALecto at his back. And in this position he was always going to be forced to leave himself open to one of them. The moment he turned to defend or attack her, Amycus would be on him or vice versa. Even as his shield strained, the dark wizard smirked.

'Gotcha.'

(Sorry I know you intended for at least one spell to hit Amycus, but I've elected not to go with it because of the circumstance. I fully believe Lucius is a fantastic dueler, but in the circumstances I don't see him being quick enough to both attack Alecto and take Amycus by surprise/volley off enough spells to ensure a hit before Alecto forces him to stop)

[Lucius Malfoy]

(Oh, no worries, it's all good. Entirely open for your discretion )

Lucius caught sight of the curse Alecto shot toward him, and he quickly maneuvered out of the way to avoid it, barely giving him enough time to dodge Amycus' nasty little spell. The numbers definitely weren't in his favor here. Alone, they were no match, but together...they might actually stand a chance, and that was a bit disconcerting. He turned to the side, keeping them both in view as he came to a stop beside Draco.

His aim of getting that madman to lift the spell he had cast on the boy had worked like a charm, it was clear he was more interested in him at the moment, but that didn't mean he would put it past the man to try to use his son against him during the fight. It would be easier if he just kept Draco close.

He bided his time, waiting for their next onslaught before moving again.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco slowly stood as his Father came to a stand next to him, his hands patted some what dazedly at his robes before he realized that he'd dropped his wand when Amycus had thrown him earlier. Instead he leaned slightly against his Father before quickly getting himself together, the man couldn't afford to face both twins and hold him up at the same time, he'd have to figure out a way to hold his own.
