Eden jumped slightly when Dot first...grabbed her, but she just instinctively moved a hand to pet Dot's hair without even thinking about it. She frowned at the younger girl's words.

"Welcome to Ravenclaw, where having too many feelings at once is a constant ordeal." She tried joking, but she only managed a half smile at her freckled companion.

The hall was slowly filling up with people from Herbology. Merlin. Eden could see the fear and anxiety etched onto her classmates' faces, feeling the tension in the air. It wasn't helping her own thoughts and feelings, but for such the emotional person that she was, she was handling it all fairly well. A tug at her heart rippled through her as she tried her best not to seem too worried about Clara...not in front Gabe, anyways. Guy seemed too stressed out already....

Speaking of Gabe, her hand was numb. She didn't tell him to let go, though. She'd regain the feeling of her hand back eventually, No big deal. She felt like he needed it right now.

"It's nothing to lament about right now," she muttered back to her housemate. Where was Quigley? She'd feel a lot safer once he was in here with them...or anyone else on staff. Any adult, please. And like, a real adult and not just sixth and seventh years who were of age.

She nudged Gabe sharply at his little tidbit. "Aaaay. We've not been defeated. We're not dead. Considering we're a bunch of school-aged witches and wizards--and we were up against acromentulas--I'd say we faired pretty well." She was calm and cool, and she believed what she said, but she did also feel like...so ugh.

Truebridge....and Noel..
