Well, it was obvious the cobwebs had caused the breakout on the other two girls. Did cobwebs normally do that? Kate had no idea. She'd never really had that much contact with one. Looking at Hady and Daisy, she was suddenly glad she stopped and paused next to the nasty gathering of webs and not right on top of them.

She blinked at the Gryffindor's reaction to Kate's help. "Man-handling?" she asked. Hadn't she just gently taken their hands and guided them away? Maybe somebody else was hiding in the depths of the passageway and had yanked the girl's hand? Just in case, Kate peered into the passageway but ended up seeing nothing unusual. "Sorry," she mumbled, just to be nice.

"We probably shouldn't stick around any longer," she told them. "You two might need to get the Healer to check that out. Want me to walk with you?"
