'Go back.' Yeah, suuuuure. Toby made an 'I don't think so' kind of face as he tugged and tugged at the webs in an attempt to free Adi, until finally the prefect was back on his feet. THAT was a relief. Toby allowed himself a little smile at the success and stood back up himself so he could help stop the web-firing... just in time to turn his attention to the rest of the room and FINALLY SEE what spells the OTHER KIDS WERE CASTING.

What... what were they DOING? Those were DEADLY SPELLS. FIRE. EXPLOSIONS. WHAT.

"Wait... wAIT. WHAT ARE YOU-... You'RE GONNA KILL-...!"

But the words had barely escaped Toby's mouth before the carnage happened. Spiders were SET ON FIRE, they EXPLODED... THERE WAS SPIDER MUSH ON TOBY AND ADI. T_______________T

Lots of conflicting feelings were happening, so much so that Toby didn't know what to do other than stand there watching. And then... things started to die down.

Most of the spiders had run off or, uhh... shuffled off this mortal coil, but... there was still the one that was spinning and spitting webs, the one Toby had, ahem, panicked and pegged with a heavy textbook. "If... if we just talk to them. Ask them why..." Toby began, now that there was something of a reprieve, talking hurriedly and addressing Adi as the boy was closest AND likely to want to appeal to the deadly creatures' better nature. But WAIT, more important things first. Toby looked across to the other kids, the boy (Henric) and girl (Ilia), but didn't yet head towards them as there was still the issue of the angry spinning spider who was only temporarily occupied but who MIGHT be willing to TALK. When Toby spoke to his classmates from afar, he sounded more jittery than ever (duh). "Are you okay? We need to-..."

BUT... Toby was suddenly distracted, because... did they... did they hear that? Did they... did...

Oh no. Oh no.

Toby, who still hadn't drawn his wand (and should... probably do that soon), stood quite still, frozen not by horror now, but by fear, and had gone a very sickly shade of grey. It did not take a genius to understand what that sound meant.
