Whatever scathing reply she might have given him after he shouted at her was lost forever as the wards finally gave way to the small cluster of undead waiting just beyond. Ready for the inevitable advance of the undead Lily raised her wand, a spell on the tip of her tongue when the line of her vision was broken by the sudden appearance of Five.

Looking deranged and moving towards her faster than the undead behind him, his sword raised Lily lost half a moment, staggering backwards, affronted and aghast before the words 'Petrificus Totalus' shot out of her mouth, purple light shooting out of the tip of her wand to hit Five in the chest.

When he went down the undead behind him advanced, and while the moment this skirmish had ended she would be rattled to the core, all Lily could do now was hold her ground, hurling the Reductor Curse at them as quickly as she was able, disintegrating their bodies on contact.
