 We see...smudges Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - ❄ Lunar Library Lurker ❄ - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror
Though he got close, Simon stayed back off Emily's shoulder on the trail, knowing well enough not to crowd her out. They didn't need to bunch up as one just stay relatively together. Suddenly something caught his eye out of the corner of his vision as he kept alert and Simon turned to see a ray of scarlet head on. His training causing his wand arm to move with it just in time to raise a shield against the assault. However it had been so narrow an escape that he felt the full force of the stunner against his barrier bringing him up short.
So much for meerly hiking in the woods at the moment.
"Protego..." he cast quietly once more, strengthening his shield to recover, his gaze flitting around much like when he played beater looking out for the bludgers. It was then black smudges, signaling more movement, were seen. Simon tried to follow the players, his wand raised but not quick to shoot as he debated his next action while on guard. Too random a shot could backfire.
