"Blast-ended skrewt." he announced suddenly. It had just come to him out nowhere and he really hoped that he was right.
"It's quite okay." he said tearing his gaze away from the Skrewt and glanced at the young girl. Of course Willy wasn't around when he was needed. Actually that was probably a good thing because Oliver was going to try and stun this thing and he didn't need his friend hollering in his ear about hurting a magical creature.
"You three might want to get behind me." They didn't look old enough to be able to perform a stunning spell.
Oliver took out his wand and sucked in a breath. He hated these dirty jobs. He moved forward with his wand raised and cast a few non verbal stunning spells at the creature.
Ella backed away from the skrewt and stood behind the Professor. She was glad she hadn't been too far fetched when she thought of the stunning spell as that was what he was now doing. Of course hers hadn't gone the way it should have-nearly taking Oakey out...good thing he had fast reflexes! Plus, she was sure if Professor Williamson was here he wouldn't be pleased about the stunning. Oh well, she was happy to have an adult here to help.

This big human had a bigger wand. The skrewt couldn't hear his firing off spells, but he did feel a slight tingling as they hit his hard shell and bounced off.
Blast! They were trying to attack him! Time to engage the rear.
The skrewt churned his little crab-like legs rapidly, kicking up some dirt in the forest as he prepared to charge. He hoisted his stinger above his head and backed his rear up, getting ready for a fart.
Just you wait, human snacks, YOU WAIT.
Ella was nervous as the
thing-the skrewt appeared to be eying her. Why was it eying her? Was it going to attack her? She took a few more steps back, wanting to have a good head start if the thing charged.
"Er-what is it doing? The-the stinger, sir! He's going to come for us..." Quote:

Th-That's not working Professor Oakey winced in pain as his side finally started to hurt. He grabbed the side of his shirt.
As the Skrewt back up some Oakey had an idea!
Professor! it's gonna shot itself again! When it does why don't you hit it with some water! It could work right? The Skrewt used it's flame-fart to propel itself forward, so what it
they Jenkins dowsed it's rear flame out?
Ella nodded as Oakey gave the Professor Jenkins the water idea. It seemed he had calmed down a bit and she felt her anger fade. They were all against this flame-farting creature after all...
"Yeah, I mean it couldn't hurt and maybe it would get scared and just leave!"
