Kennedy allowed himself to be pulled along by the Gryffindor prefect. Fine, FINE. He'll find some other time to befriend the acrumantula. He lifted his wand and was about to mimic Kurumi when he heard another spell being said. That voice sounded extremely familiar.

Ah, Professor Scabior!

Maybe HE could get some of that acrumantula venom for him? He was a strong wizard, right? Oh darn it, why couldn't it have been professor Lafay, she'd probably understand if he asked. You know...for educational purposes.

He ran after Kurumi, but didn't hide.

Look at those pincers!!!
