SPOILER!!: Zeke, Brooklyn, Maggie

I'll have your backs'

Maggie had SO MANY THINGS to say in reply to this. But eventually didn't. She didn't want to antagonize Zeke after all. Not yet. Not when he could still be of use to her. So she let it slide, simply lifting her head slightly and grabbing her wand firmly. Right. Let's go. Also let's not die.

Walking next to Brooklyn for now (seeing as the inseparable Zeke and Hady were, well, inseparable), Maggie followed them further into the jungle. Would there be stations? Would someone explain things? Would they be tested individually? Would they-

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG



Her first reaction to the BUGS was to shriek and try and swat them away with her wand. Which was HIGHLY ineffective. Also she could no longer see the others. "Protego!" Okay. That was a....that was at least a start. Now what? Maggie had read the instructions and was currently trying to remember the spells they were supposed to use.

Being surrounded by water goblets didn't really feel like a good idea.

"WHAT DO WE DO?"

She did have team mates after all. They could at least try and be useful.

Maggie was definitely the unknown in this situation, possibly even more than whatever was in the jungle ahead of them. Brooklyn knew she and Hady worked well together, and she remembered Zeke last term during the mapmaking. She remembered he’d been the one to get them into the Chamber of Secrets, so that meant she knew he’d be useful. Not to mention she knew he at least meant it when he’d said he’d watch Hady’s back. Brooklyn was hardly offended by the suggestion she needed someone to watch hers. She could take care of herself, but she also knew it was so much easier when she had someone to do it for her. All queens had guards after all, and if he was going to offer…

It was possible she’d had the least response to that sentence, as the four of them had stepped into the jungle after the others who had already done so. All she was doing was listening, to the sounds from the students ahead of them, to the sounds of the jungle. Listening, and mentally complaining about the heat and the humidity. Professor Bellaire hopefully wouldn’t be quite as strict about appearance by the end of this. It would be impossible to look perfect after making it through a rainforest, after all.

She’d stepped away from Maggie as the girl had shrieked, narrowly avoiding being hit by the flailing. Unfortunately, it didn’t mean she avoided the cloud of bugs, but she’d pulled the note she’d gotten earlier out and lifted it over her face moments before she’d gotten a faceful of locusts and mosquitos. Ew, she thought, considering just trying to hex the bugs before she heard Maggie’s shield spell. Followed by the second shriek, and she sighed. This was going to take forever.

“Maybe we need something that’ll eat the bugs?,” she suggested, her voice muffled by the note still held inches from her face. She’d seen the bird spell listed there, and the dragon spell she so wanted to cast again. She wanted to get Balerion back. But that would mean finding a rock, and she’d have to move the note in order to do that. She wasn’t planning on that happening until she knew they’d gotten rid of the bugs.

Was it something he said?

Between Hady's arched brows and the deafening silence, he was SURE he'd said something wrong... but for the life of him he couldn't think what it was, nor did he really care. Nope.

ADVENTURE!

The buzzing he had heard, very soon turned into a SWARM of bug things... like, a CYCLONE of bug things. Holy crickets.

....

Zeke swatted about at the air in front of him, though bugs wouldn't KILL him, would they?

....

"We freeze them," dduuuhhhh... was Zeke's response, but as was about to cast the charm, realised just that. It was a charm. Were they allowed to use charms? Professor Bellaire hadn't exactly instructed SPECIFICALLY to use transfiguration, after all, her words were to use the BEST WAY to like survive the phases... as far as he could tell so far in his three years of study, was that charms were by far more useful.

But then Brooklyn mentioned something to EAT the bugs??


"What? Like ... lizards? birds?" OOHHH, were there rocks? They could totally turn them into dragons! Dragons were lizards, and they could breathe fire onto the bugs! CRISPY BUGS! "I say we find rocks and use draconifors."

Wrinkling her nose slightly Hady swatted a hand at a bug. Annoying little things really but living where she did when she wasn't here at school she was a bit used to them. However being bitten by them wasn't all that fun. Maggie's shield probably wouldn't help much...nor would freezing them.

What was the talk of dragons? Wouldn't a dragon um destroy everything else along with the bugs? Wiping her face with the sleeve of her shirt she thought over as many spells and charms that she could. That was when she saw what Brooklyn was holding and grinned pulling the folded parchment from her pocket where she'd stuck it earlier and quickly scanning over it.

"You can try to make find rocks and make dragons if you wanna," Hady replied looking at her bestie when he gave the suggestion before nodding towards Brooklyn. "Birds eat bugs though. So I'm gonna give something a try..." The third year knew the bird spell and it's wand movement but it was advanced...she had no idea if it would work or not. Holding her wand firmly in her hand she pointed it towards the bugs stating firmly and clearly, "Avis!" And nothing.

Taking a deep breath she prepared to give it another try picturing the flock of birds in her mind as she repeated the charm, "Avis!" Several brightly colored birds burst from her wand heading towards the bugs. It wasn't like she'd hoped it would be with tons of birds but it was something. Maybe the others in her team could give it a go before the stupid bugs got even more annoying.
