Gabe had just stuffed his notebook back down into his school bag, shouldering it....when he noticed the spiders edging closer; bulldozing at the wavering magical barrier. They were going to break through. They were going to break through and drag every last one of them away...into the forest...to be mauled and snacked on. Spider snacks. That's what they would be. The off-brand kind.

So, could they...stop with the debating and...escape?! Please? Any moment now, really...

...Of course...before they could make much of a move...a two things happened. Gabe, by accident, glanced towards the back corner, on the other side of the charging spiders...and noticed red hair. Specific red hair...but before he could think on it, there was Quigley. Quigley. QUIGLEY.

He swayed on the spot from the absolute relief.

"....and it's been several minutes....and no, sir." Gabe glanced at Eden, eyes WIDE. WAS THAT CLARA?!..."There's...a girl just there." He was pointing towards the redheaded girl; a fellow Ravenclaw. A Ravenclaw that was Clara. Merlin, his brain hurt.
