Hey is that the same thing that we fought in the pathways? I mean the same exact skrewt. Doesn't he look familiar He whispered to his younger housemate. We should tell them about it's underbelly. shouldn't we? We'll everyone except Williamson, he would know wouldn't he. He's the COMC professor for Merlin's sake.
Ella felt herself get bumped and jumped suddenly, afraid the skrewt had somehow broken through the wall of prefects in front of her. She was relieved to see Oakey there instead.
"It-It's okay, Oakey." She whispered, not wanting to disturb the skrewt. The small badger simply nodded at his question about the skrewt as she thought it probably was the same frightening creature from the pathways. Then when he asked about the underbelly, she simply pointed to the Professor, indicating he knew and had shared.
SPOILER!!: Williamson

"Sorry, sorry Mr. Skrewt," he squeaked, holding his hands up in a surrender-like gesture. He simultaneously took a step back, hoping he wasn't stepping on anyone and also hoping that the kids got the message to move back too. "The candy was supposed to be a gift for you, Mr. Skrewt. Ignore that bowtruckle there, too. It's not mine."
The Skrewt could EAT the bowtruckle for all HE cared.
"Laura......!" William called out, his voice getting higher with nervousness at the sight of the girl standing like THISCLOSE to the fully-grown skrewt. "Laura, it's not a creature of sufficient intelligence to understand you. Now get back over here THIS INSTANT."
Or by Merlin he was going to pull the car over pick her up and CARRY her back to the castle. Damn HUFFLEPUFFS!
"Oakey," William turned his head and growled at the boy, having heard every word the Hufflepuff had just said, "We already know about the underbelly. I literally JUST went over that." He rolled his eyes and held out his hand toward the kid.
"Give me your wand and I'll show you how you really handle a skrewt." He made a snapping motion with his fingers. Come on, kid. Help the professor out.
Ella couldn't help but frown at Laura who seemed not to care about the seriousness of the situation. She hoped she would listen to Williamson and get back. Then Professor Williamson had asked for Oakey's wand and Ella was surprised but extremely relieved. She wanted desperately for the skrewt to be gone and she wished she had a notebook in hand so she could take notes on how Williamson would accomplish the task.
