"They had her trapped between them, and they were casting spells but not quite directly at her. Just close, so that she'd have to dodge.
"I told them to stop, I blocked curses from both of them and I cast Impedimentia on Avery. I told Mulciber we were leaving, and he neither got out of our way nor lowered his wand.
"Impedimentia wore off Avery and we were both stuck between them.
"I don't know if they were deliberately trying to kill us. I doubt it, honestly, because, well, it would be a fairly stupid place to decide to commit murder, a hallway at Hogwarts. But some of the spells they used were certainly capable of achieving that result. I know I blocked a blasting curse at one point. And Mary got hit with a suffocation spell."
