He was sweating, breathing heavily and a look of sheer panic was on his face. WHY was this happening on his first and last year here?! He did not want to die here! He was going to another wizarding school soon since his parents gotten a different job.
He ran through the seating area. A place he would have looked at in awe because It looked beautiful but he had no time. As he reached the office door, Yoongi banged both of his fists against the door. “PROFESSOR! HELP! PLEASE OPEN UP!” Bang bang bang bang “ACROMANTULAS ARE IN THE GREAT HALL, THEY GOT ADI! AND TWO OTHERS ARE IN DANGER AS WELL, PLEASE HELP!” More banging on the door frame. Everyone could hear the panic in his voice. Hurry uuup! T_________T Quote:

Then again, Brown wasn't exactly what one would call 'most students'. No, her answer while unexpected, was to a degree, understandable.
Sabel pulled out another handful of marshmallows and plopped them in his mouth one at a time, thinking as he did so. He was about to ask her what her next dream was, after the wonder that was apparently Hogwarts. Surely she had one. Couldn't become a Professor right out of student-hood.
Surely she had---
Sabel blinked once, twice at the student that ran right by them. It was the silence, wasn't it? Their mouths preoccupied with marshmallow munching, that they weren't even seen. That and the fact that ---
The boy's words drew a chill right down his spine. Before he knew it, he was on his feet. When he had swallowed the marshmallows, he didn't even know. Hopefully, his digestive system wouldn't suffer too much for it.
"Hyland." His voice was grave, matching the seriousness of the panic on the kid's face. He was still trying to piece things together. Acromantulas. In the castle. His eyes tracked over the kid, over the cobwebs as sickening realization twisted his gut. And then, the words were out of his mouth before he could stop them. "Haven't you ever heard of a patronus?"
Really, it would have been a bad idea. He'd admitted that to himself already. The kid running all the way up here, it was the best idea. And he would tell him that later. Right now, he needed focus. For himself. For the two that were unlikely to stay behind if he ordered them to it.
His gaze slipped to Brown and then back to Hyland, wand slipping into his hand. "You two, will come with me, but you will stay behind me, got it? [i[No[/i] heroics. Nothing of the sort. Shields spells. Defensive spells. Fire works best against these creatures. But your first objective is to keep yourselves safe, and only if it is safe, help your classmates." His gaze went to both of them in turn. "The best line, is a solid line. Got it? Good."
Because there was no time for waiting for a confirmation. He was already walking, a pace that was already turning into a run.
Really, Sophie Brown was lucky that she believed she wasn't allowed to have off days because there was no TIME to have an off day on a day like today. She'd just gone for another marshmallow when hurried footsteps rang in the distance, growing closer by the second, until the Gryffindor made his appearance and... didn't see them at all.
But the panic that rang out from his entire being made her eyes bug, and she was on her feet before her classmate had even stopped talking. Acromantulas? INSIDE the castle? But-- how? Why? Were they back to eat more students? Did their feasting on Gregoire last term make them realize they had a school full of food for them and they were just coming out and GETTING IT? And poor Adi, what did Yoongi MEAN by "they got Adi"? Did they EAT him? Was the Hufflepuff prefect, a boy from her own year that she'd been associated with since her first day at Hogwarts, dead?!?!
She was torn from her processing thoughts by Dakest's oddly calm, but serious tone, and she slipped her own wand from her holster as he spoke, falling in line after the professor the moment he started moving down the corridor. Not even questioning the man's orders, she sought advice as they hurried along, "Okay so Incendio most of all-- d'you think Glacius'll help, too, making the floor slippery? Would that have an affect on the way their legs grip the floor so they won't be able to charge? Or just Impedimenta? Immobulus? Stupefy? Relashio if they've got someone? Ligatenous to bind 'em in chains, keep 'em from going after anyone but still give 'em the opportunity to talk to us?" She was running through various scenarios in her head, her mind moving at a mile a minute - she didn't so much need Dakest's approval right now as much as she was just talking out her game plan. Considering all the scenarios. Running through options.
Preparing for war.
