Just what was going on and what had brought them down there...besides the basilisk fangs?
Benny listened as the divination professor spoke up to explain. He knew the history of the hatred between the creatures, it was documented both in Hogwarts' history and the written knowledge about the two groups. Necklaces...wards out of the fangs? Yeah, the Gryffindor supposed it could work even a little. It certainly couldn't hurt...unless of course it angered the spiders it was supposed to try and protect them against.
At least he didn't have to worry anymore about the venom that had kept his hands far away from the sharpened tip of the fang. The sixth year taking it out of his pocket and placing it before him. He figured he could do the duplicating of his fang, passing it on to anyone else willing to do the rest. "Does the spell have any limits...like on how many it could do from the original?" It seemed the best question to ask since they had only three of those and quite a few students.
Would it required duplicating the duplicates?
He supposed if the professors didn't know there was one way to find out, the Gryffindor focusing on the spell at hand. "Dupladius!" he cast, aiming it at his fang. Thankfully it didn't seem to be too hard to work out as he now had two fangs of his own. Benny just had to continue doing it over and over again. "Dupladius!" Three. "Dupladius!" Four. "Dupladius!"
Five down...plus his original...how ever more to go.
Cassie was about to head to a group and start helping when she heard a question from Benny. She had never done so many before, she wasn't fully sure. "Once you get some more of the group can use the duplicates to duplicate them." That would help if for some reason there was a magic number. They needed to get enough for the school.

"I can help with shrinking one of them," she offered. You know, just being a helpful Prefect. She did have questions, though. Two of them. "Professors, duplicating them won't lessen their power?" Their poison or whatever. Second question. "And...are we going to duplicate enough for the entire school?" Or just for them? The former sounded like a lot of work.
"There is no power in them at the moment. As I've mentioned the venom has dried out long ago with the years it has sat and the movement that's been down there during the time. I have a plan for that don't worry." She have her an encouraging smile. "Yes we are going to try. " They had to try at least.

Physically, emotionally, mentally. A bit scared, but that was always going to be the case when you go down into the Chamber of Secrets. She looked around to make sure everyone else was okay, too. For some reason, Zhenya wasn't sure why Professor Glendower pulled out craft supplies. She wasn't really sure about what they were doing after they got the fangs, but she was about to find out. At least it wasn't just an... Oh, there's the fangs, have a good night everyone. She was, somehow, enjoying being part of a helping project for the school, so she sat up a little, and gave her attention to the two Professors.
Ahh, protective necklaces. "Brilliant idea, Professor Cassie," Zhenya said. It was brilliant! She had a suggestion... "Professor, if they don't work, or if we need a bit of extra magic inside them, maybe we can charm them with runes, like Professot Botros taught us." Could that work? The fangs by themselves would hopefully have enough of their own powers left to ward off the spiders, and Zhenya certainly hoped that would be the case.
Right, so they would be working to duplicate and shrink the fangs. Benny had a small collection of duplicated fangs, so Zhenya moved near him. "Shall I help to shrink those ones?" she asked, reaching for one and putting it in front of her. "Reducio," she said, forming a 'V' shape, seeing the satisfied purple light as the fang shrunk. She held it up to her chest to see if it was too big/small/just right. It was a little large still, so she repeated the spell, and the fang was just the right size, in her opinion.
Ancient Runes, now that could be an idea too. She thought a moment about this. "I was never that good in the subject, but if we feel we need something stronger then yes maybe we could get Professor Botros for help." She really hoped what she had planned would work.
Turning to the entire group she forced a smile, "You are all doing fabtastic. Keep up the great work." She moved towards a few of the duplicates, "Here I can do some as well." Pulling her wand she started to duplicate it.
