Right! Benny, Henric and Ilia safely across? Yep! That meant it was his turn to traverse the bridge. Adi placed his left foot on the first step, his wand at the ready. He was all set to cast the Levitating Charm on the bridge or himself if necessary plus he was sure he would have three certain friends ready and willing to help.

Step, step, step, step, step.

The bridge wobbled and shook but Adi was cautious with every step he took. That is, until he came to the final four or five steps. For some reason, the Hufflepuff took off running . WHEEEEEEE! This was BETTER than just walking slooooowly along. And hey! He made it across! WOOT! He turned back to look at the bridge which was now shaking violently. Anywayyy, back to his friends. “Hi, gu-‘’ Spider webs, Henric said? Adi stared around.

WOAH!

DOUBLE WOAH!

It was a gigantamungo spider! Adi was frozen in surprise for one moment before he regained his composure. He barely had time to look around at the other three. All four of them loved creatures. There was NO WAY they were going to hurt it. They were just going to restrain the thing, he was sure of that. He was also sure that the quartet could not escape by running away. An arachnid had EIGHT legs, yo! All the easier for it to catch its prey.

“Two of us can try keeping it back while the other two can use the time it’s distracted to restrain it!’’ Adi hurriedly told them before raising his wand again. “Inflecto Telum!’’ No, he wasn’t aiming the arrows AT the spider but rather IN FRONT of it. His goal? He hoped it would be enough to keep the giant arachnid away from the group and that the spider would be so obsessed with getting at them, it wouldn’t notice the others who were going to restrain it.
