Beverly gripped her wand tight as Benny sneezed and tumbled, trying not to give away the startled jump she gave. For Merlin's sake. If there was something down here it was sure to find them now. It echoed. The yelling did the same, making Beverly jump for the second time.

Someone was looking to get hexed. Who wants to get hexed? HMMM???

Rolling her eyes at the Gryffindor girl, Beverly nodded at Zhenya. "Thank you." Now shhh. The hairs at the back of her neck raised. Her gut was telling her leave. Self-preservation was striking.

"That's three," she said, rubbing her free hand over her wand arm as goosebumps rose up her skin. "Yes. We should go. Now. We should go." She was calm. She was cool.

What was that noise?

She was NOT hearing things, she wasn't. If she wasn't so focused on the strange sounds and on the exit, she would have thumped Adi on his arm, instead she gripped his sleeve. "Don't go too far...There's something out there."

There was.

She wanted out. Now.
