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.

'Maybe we need something that’ll eat the bugs'

Maggie barely heard Brooklyn suggestion through the loud buzzing of the bugs. Wasn't there a spell that would make them SHUT UP. Or you know, stop...making that noise. With their wings?? Bugs weren't exactly Maggie's area of expertise so she wasn't sure HOW they were making that noise but it was definitely annoying. At least it seemed that they were all close enough to each other to communicate.

Which, when Zeke spoke up, Maggie sort of regretted.

"How is a bunch of dragons going to help us????" Like, really? They weren't being attacked by deer. Or...you know, other BIGGER things. Like, actual animals. These were bugs. Dragons didn't eat bugs. Did they?

Wait....but something else he'd said....she mentally went through the list of spells again when.....

Ah yes. See? That was a more useful spell. If only the CASTER was a bit more useful too. Gosh, Hady. Had she not been practicing? Maggie rolled her eyes and quickly moved her wand in a way that it resembled a (poorly drawn) bird. "AVIS!" Ah. See. THAT'S HOW YOU DID THE MAGIC. Thank you, thank you. Yes.

Only by then her birds had also been joined by someone else's. Good.

"Quickly! Let's go!" Actually by now she wasn't even sure if she NEEDED the others (pfft she was the queen of magic clearly) so Maggie didn't turn around again to see if the others were following (they better) and instead just moved forward, further into the jungle. The birds had gotten rid of enough of the bugs that it was safe to pass through. Not without a few stings though.

OMG LOOK WATER THANK GOD!

Maggie was dehydrated. Like, big time. Which was why she immediately moved forward and towards the pond. Wait...was it clean though? "Is there a water cleaning spell?" What if it had been poisoned?


No? No takers on the dragons? To be perfectly honest he was a little disappointed, cause dragons were AWESOME, and so by extension they would be too. Maggie just didn't seem to understand. Tsk tsk tsk. "Dragons fly, and breathe fire, and if we transfigure them, we have control over them... could easily burn these bugs to crispy treats, and who knows what else they might be handy for." Obviously.

But... considering he couldn't see much in the way of rocks around, he decided to just go with whatever the girls were doing. Sigh.

"Avis!" he commanded from his wand, to no avail.... .... ahem, now was not the time to FAIL him, wand!!!! "Avis!" he repeated, and with his focus trained on producing birds they did indeed erupt from his wand tip and flocked with the others to devour the bugs. Bye bye buzzzzzzards.

He was only just beginning to notice that a part of his neck was itching, itching like it was on fire... no doubt he'd been bitten by something. Were these bugs poisonous? Did anyone have a bezoar on their person? Ahem...

Nevertheless, Zeke continued along their way silently, that was, until they came to a stop at a dirty pond thing. Was Maggie really that desperate?

Admittedly, he could really go for a drink. He was sure that half of his body's water somehow managed to extract itself from him and was currently condensing on his back along his spine, around his hair line and was even dripping off the end of his nose. "Why bother cleaning it when you can charm it?" he asked as if what Maggie was suggesting was the silliest idea ever. Non-verbally he cast a short burst of the Aguamenti Charm in Maggie's direction. Hehe. A spritzing did sound pretty good though.

But wait, did that water just move?

"I think there's something in there," Zeke observed.
