Knowing that this was going to require precision, Mage dropped lower before practically running off of his broom. Leaving it lying on the ground, he went to work.

"Madam Davis! Madam Davis!" the young intern nearly screamed as she came flying into the office of the Head of the Improper Use of Magic.
"What is it?" Madam Davis asked impatiently, looking up from the report that she'd been reading.
"The Big Board. It's showing a huge amount of magic being performed in a muggle-only designated area," the girl nearly babbled.
Instantly, Madam Davis was on her feet and striding from the room, leaving the intern to scurry along in her wake.
One look at the Big Board, which covered the whole of the United Kingdom, showed that the intern was correct. The fact that the colour indicator was a deep, harsh red showed just how much magic was being used. Worse still was the fact that Greenwich was designated as being purely muggle, there were no magicals living in the area, nor were there any shops or businesses there.
"Merlin's beard," she breathed. "Send word to the DMLE! Get them there immediately to arrest whoever's responsible. And alert the Obliviators. No! Forget the memo-planes! There's not time for that. Just run!"
Instantly, the intern took off, leaving Madam Davis standing, staring at the Board as the colour intensified even further, something that she didn't think was even possible.
ooo00ooo
"Put those away!" Hermione hissed.
One by one, however reluctantly, wands were sheathed by most of the Hogwarts contingent that had taken them out. They were currently huddled in a copse of trees, out of the way and hopefully in a place where they wouldn't be noticed but still able to see what was happening.
"We can't let Mister Potter fight alone. We can help!" Daniel Greengrass insisted, clutching his wand in his hand tightly.
"Yeah, come on, Aunt Hermione, let us help Uncle Harry," Teddy agreed, a fierce expression on his face.
"Harry doesn't need help," Hermione shot back, her force of will seemingly the only thing holding the students back. "Not to mention that anything that we did would be a breach of the Statute of Secrecy."
"Then what's he doing?" an incredulous voice asked.
"Harry, Mage, has special dispensation from the International Confederation of Wizardry to act in defence of civilians or the world," Hermione replied.
"Mage?" a confused Daniel asked. "Who's that?"
"That's Harry's Avenger's code-name," Hermione replied and hurried on at the blank looks she was getting. "
The Avengers
Avengers are heroes, people with extraordinary powers charged with protecting everyone else from any and all bad guys."
As they watched, Harry was charged from his blind side by one of the aliens and sent hurtling through the air before coming down on the grass and rolling away. Instantly, though, he was back up and casting, returning the favour.
"We can still help!" Teddy insisted. "He needs help. I don't want Uncle Harry to get hurt."
Hermione laid a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"He does this regularly. And if he really needs help, then Thor will give it to him," she said. "If you really want to help Uncle Harry, then we need to stay here and let him do his thing; rushing in like that will only have him focussing on us and worrying about us and that distraction could get him hurt. Believe me, I know how it feels, I've been his best friend for most of my life, remember?"
Reluctantly, Teddy and the others nodded and Hermione breathed a sigh of relief that they were willing to follow her orders.

Jane and Erik peeked around the corner, assessing whether it was safe to emerge. Seeing nothing at the moment, Jane relaxed her hand from the activation dial on her device slightly.
The convergence, they both knew, was fast approaching. Clouds and wind were swirling above and around them as the atmosphere went nuts at the gravity being exerted on the planet by the as-yet unseen other planets of the nine realms. Portals between the worlds were opening and closing at random, causing objects to disappear and appear in bizarre and unusual places.
Fortunately, Darcy and Ian had managed to place the majority of the devices that Erik had created in their correct positions. Jane'd already used them effectively to displace some of the Dark Elves, sending them away from the current harm that they were trying to do.
The only downside was that they'd lost track of Thor. He and Malekith were still fighting but it seemed that the anomalies were playing havoc with them as well, turning their fight into a scramble to stay on the same world as much as anything else.
"Jane!" Erik said suddenly, clutching her upper arm. "There! Those creatures are heading towards those students."
Quickly Jane located the Elves that Erik pointed out, adjusted two knobs and twisted the dial.
Instead of the Elves disappearing as they were supposed to though, Darcy and Ian appeared directly in front of Jane and Erik.
"Darcy!" Jane exclaimed.
"Jane?" Darcy replied, dropping Ian from where she'd just been kissing him bent over her knee onto the ground.
With a shake of her head, Jane twisted the dial the other way. Unfortunately, her second attempt was just as good as her first. Only this time, she'd manage to summon Mage from somewhere or other.
