Oliver looked at the creature again and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. WHAT WAS IT??

"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.

The Skrewt was a bit disconcerted to see a big human person pop up beside the other little ones. One of them seemed to be weakening, all out of breath as it was, and the skrewt had the idea to head for that one first. Whenever he came out of hiding, that was, which might not be too soon.

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.
