He had decided to skip Herbology today. Mandrakes really weren't his thing.
... Turns out it had been a really bad idea.
Benzi had been quietly minding his own business in the Great Hall, thinking about his life and shoveling food into his mouth like there was no tomorrow when suddenly loud noises echoed in from the entrance hall. Blinking, he turned his head and tried to make out what was happening. Loud noises were a regular occurrence in this school, certainly he could finish his meal in peace and then go see what was happening right? It wasn't like anyone was dying.
SCRATCH THAT PEOPLE WERE SCREAMING. He forcefully swallowed the food already in his mouth and took off towards the double doors, rounding the corner of the table just as people started to stumble in, looking exhausted and like they'd suffered through their worst nightmare.
VERY alarmed now, Benzi stared at the students - and professors - as they all poured into the Great Hall, then turned to see VERY BIG SPIDERS scuttling away. ... ACROMANTULAS?! REALLY??
Instantly pulling out his wand, just in case they came back, he wove between the students as he tried to find Noel and Hayley. And Evie. Where was Evie? He hadn't seen her for a few days now. What if the acromantulas had DONE something to her? He'd NEVER forgive himself if she'd gotten hurt while he'd been "staying away". He should have been BY HER SIDE. HAYLEY'S TOO. Chance was most likely useless. WHERE WERE THEY?!
Okay but wait, wait. They might be here, he just needed to look. Noel, Digs, Evie, Cutty, Puck, Benny... were were all his friends?! Friends being a loose term here. Not the point now. Moving on. Brushing past the Hufflepuff prefect (Adi), Benzi was suddenly rooted to the spot as he overheard the conversation and slowly turned around, horrified. "Students were TAKEN? NOEL???" he exclaimed, eyes wide, and without waiting for an answer pushed forward to find his housemates. Namely Evie and Hayley. WHERE WERE EVIE AND HAYLEY??
He finally spotted a few Ravenclaws and made his way over to them, pushing people out of his way as he started to catch on to what had happened from the conversations going on around him. Something about Herbology, and the Headmistress?? And some other students were taken. Hadn't a kid died last year because of acromantulas?
O_O WHAT IF NOEL DIED????!??!?!?!!?
No. NOPE.
NOEL WOULD NOT DIE. AND NEITHER WOULD HAYLEY AND EVIE. No one was dying. NO ONE. NO MORE DYING.
Level head Benzi. Deep breaths. In and out. Level head. Ignoring Quigley's impromptu Charms/CoMC lesson, he turned his head to the entrance again and saw Professor Dakest standing there keeping guard. Alone. He was probably tired while Benzi had literally done nothing all morning, so the sixteen year old quickly made up his mind to join him. There was no way he was just going to stand here, especially when he couldn't spot Hayley or Evie. "Mr. Kitridge, I'm here and I'm fine, and I'm going to go and stand with Dakest in case any spiders come back," he announced for the headcount and without waiting around to let anyone stop him, quickly made his way to the DADA professor.
"Professor Dakest, I'm here to help sir," Benzi said seriously, his wand out and ready as he moved to stand by and keep guard for any possible giant spiders. Good thing Suri wasn't here, she'd have fainted. "Are we going to go save the students who were taken?" he asked, frowning as he looked back at the students gathered, then out towards the grounds. He wanted in on the rescue mission. Noel was there. He was going.
