OUCHIE.

Bliss had hit the wall hard. Why did she always run into things? WHY? Once again, she regained her balance and set off again. Just keep calm, she repeated to herself. Nothing can really hurt you, you're safe. Cos obviously the Professor wouldn't want any seriously dead injured kids.

........

The Second Year stopped dead when she heard a noise up ahead. It..sounded vaugely like wings? Sort of? Bliss didn't dare move another inch. If there was a evil vine thing at the start, then this was bound to be worse. It had to be. BUT, she could do this. She had to do this.

Taking a deep breath, Bliss creeped forward slowly, keeping her arm extended in front of her and eyes watching everything. Then she saw it. What WAS it? A...extremely large...DOXY?

o_____O

They bit, right? Bliss thought, taking a cautious step backwards, away from the threat. But it seemed like the threat had other ideas. It swooped down towards her and she narrowly dodged it. She straightened herself up, just as it came as her again. She jumped out of the way and scrambled through her brain for a plan.

RUN. RETREAT. GO!

Bliss sprant off, turning corners, not daring to look behind her. Suddenly a spell popped into her head and she stopped. Quickly she spun around and pointed her wand directly at the incoming doxy and cried, "STUPEFY!" She watched the doxy fall to the ground and realised that her heart was beating so very fast in her chest.

BLINK.
