Walking Dead Wizard

Chapter 50

"Looks like the hospital has a tower nearby, it looks like a flat surface and has an open roof, six or seen stories high I'd say," Harry mused, the problem was there might have been people there, people who were now walkers. He wasn't risking Apparating into an open are swarming with walkers, only for someone or worse all of them to be bitten.

"It's surrounded by other buildings, it will be hard to deal with a lot of walkers at once," Daryl pointed out, using his knife to pinpoint all the buildings, without damaging the map anyway. He knew Harry would be using that fire spell again, but considering how close he had been to the prison and not burnt that it might mean he was wrong but the way Luna spoke...it was difficult to accommodate obstacles when using that spell. "Luna said the spell was difficult right?"

"Yeah it is," Harry nodded conceding the point, "Alright let's see what else is high up and guaranteed to be empty." ignoring the cracks that accompanied Luna Apparating. Harry slowly moved the map around, searching for something suitable.

"Watch towers would be best," Daryl said, his sharp eyes flickering over the map, "They'll have loads of em, training areas where they rappel down em, ones they keep guard over too."

"Training area, that will be pretty secluded then," Harry mused thoughtfully, continuously flicking his wand away from areas that held a lot of buildings, he was too busy to see the surprise that flicked through Daryl's eyes, he was still not used to being heard or listened to, even his brother didn't so it was a constant surprise when someone did take his word for something. "There we go, completely secluded, if those runes work, it would be like leading them to a slaughter," he would have felt guilty but the person and their souls were already gone, the moment of death their souls departed, and then the virus awoke them as nothing but puppets without a string, hungering for only one thing, food of any kind whether it was human or animal.

"Will it be too much for you?" Daryl asked, a frown marring his features, as he glanced at Harry, Luna's words ringing in his ears.

"Honestly? It could be," Harry sighed, moving to sit on his backside, his knees beginning to ache from kneeling in the same position for too long. "I've only ever heard of the spell being used on single buildings, not an entire area, but there is a variation of it cast all over the place to hide magical areas from the non-magical population," the rustling had both Harry and Daryl glancing up cautiously.

"Have you found anywhere?" Luna asked as she wandered back over to them, amusement heard clearly within her voice.

"Is he still in one piece?" Harry asked, lips twitching, Luna seemed to have gotten a great deal of merriment out of Apparating Merle around either that or it was his reactions.

"Piece?" Merle asked, his face ashen, he looked as if he had been sick a few times, that and looked quite dizzy still. Apparation didn't sit well with wizards never mind non-magicals, so he wasn't surprised to see Merle was disorientated still.

"Oh yes, if one doesn't watch what he or she's doing, you can end up splinched," Harry said innocently, as Luna giggled into her hand blue eyes sparkling brightly. It was rather infectious, especially considering there wasn't much to be happy about these days, or rather since the world had gone to hell and each day was a battle for survival, at least they had a place where they were moderately safe for the moment. "You could quite literally leave your leg or arm in your previous location." Daryl stared at the floor a smirk adorned his face, at the look Merle supported.

"You're lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut," Merle grumbled, and despite himself he was rather amused by the teasing, it's exactly what he would have done if the situations had been reversed.
