"I wont Professor, those spiders are scary.... last time i try to save a cat" she blew out some air and stood with the rest of her house, looking around the great hall. the rest of the houses seemed to be doing the same thing.
"They're not just scary they will eat you without thinking twice about it." She flashed the girl a look. Trying to save a cat when her life was in danger? Was she even really a Slytherin? Sophia shook her head and continued to look around, hoping the Slytherin numbers would grow. SPOILER!!: Beverly Quote:

Her heart did give a loud jolt in her chest when she heard Bellaire's voice. It was as if the woman's firm voice provided some kind of comfort. It meant she was safe, her snakes were safe.
Walking to the front of the group after making sure the Slytherins at the back did not run off, she nodded politely at the woman. Caleb wasn't the only one in charge. She was there. It wasn't her fault she wasn't tall and her head didn't stick out of the crowd.
"Professor Bellaire," she glanced around, "Our Head of House isn't with you?" Although really, just Bellaire being here was enough for the Prefect at the moment. She had just witnessed fire like she has never seen it in her entire life, and acromantulas take away the Headmistress and students, she needed a figure to learn how to handle these situations from.
Sophia spun around when the voice of the female prefect reached her ears. "No healer Murdoch is not with me right now but I have no doubt that she'll be here soon. She's a competent witch and can fend for herself." That was not to say that Bellaire wasn't worried about her colleague. "In the mean time you know what you and Caleb have to do." She gave the girl a nod. SPOILER!!: Zhenya Quote:

FINALLY, more snakes. It wasn't just Caleb and Dot, there was Hady, Echo... But there were more snakes than that.
Wait... what? The Acromantulas were still trying to get in? Zhenya started to feel nauseous. Was Mr Kitridge ready for this? Was ANYONE ready for this? Ew ew ewwwwwwwwwwww. She had a panic attack during the Transfiguration Jungle, that stupid spider, and it had nothing on these Acromantulas.
No, she was a SEVENTH year. She was going to be leaving after a few more weeks. If she wasn't ready, how could any of the younger students be ready? Zhenya set a concentrated and determined, confident look on her face. She would give the illusion of being okay with this, of being ready. Deep down she wasn't, but she would fight gallantly with the Professors, Prefects and her fellow students.
Oh, good, there was Beverly, Zhenya noted her approaching the group. She realised now that Healer Murdoch wasn't there. Hopefully she was tending to all the wounded, and not being carried away with the Acromantulas. No, the Acromantulas wouldn't be able to get Murdoch would they? Surely not...
"I trust you heard the instructions?" She said looking down at the student. " You're all prepared for this. Remain calm and keep your wits about you. Remember that you're a Slytherin and Slytherins don't die..." She gave the girl a reassuring pat on the shoulder. SPOILER!!: Dottie Quote:

"I can stay here. Que... Professor Bellaire is here now. Maybe now that she's here, she'll have a plan. Does she seem like someone who always has a plan? I'd follow someone like that anywhere." Someone with a plan. Not someone who was a bossy royal pain.
"Hullo, Professor. I'm accounted for. I accounted for myself, and then I accounted for Caleb and he accounted for me." She was very responsible and could probably be put to work doing important and life-saving things. Just saying. "I can help protect people too. Or maybe ride on your back into the Forbidden Forest." Ahem. "There's an age line. But I'm helpful."
Oh, LOOK. Hady was safe! Dot gave the younger girl a squeeze too, just to let her know she was glad Hady wasn't dead. Unlike Noel Wallace, WHO NO ONE WAS RESCUING.
Dot got a dead pan look from the professor for a few seconds. Really? She wasn't sure if the child was making jokes or not but there would be no riding on her back into the forest to help. Annie got herself captured, she ought to be able to hold on and defend herself until they could execute a proper rescue mission. "I just need you to stay here, safe and help to keep the younger students calm Miss Wojack. Don't try to help unless explicitly asked to do so. "In other words stay outta the way.

From what he could see, it was an all out takeover. Of course something of the sort was suspected but not at this magnitude. It looked like they would actually be in need of the emergency plan he'd been forced to sit through developing with Bellaire.
Huh. Would you look at that.
While the Heads of Houses did their necessary checks the Charms Professor made his way to the staff dais. He trusted the woman would see the look and take it as her invitation to join him. In the mean time the man pulled out his wand. Having covered the room with a silencing charm it was time to get to business and what other way to do that than a sonorus charm? His ears would hate him for this.
"I'll need everyone's attention." And a pause to let them settle...if only a little. "First of all, I'm aware there are spiders crawling around outside. You lot are aware there are spiders crawling around outside now we're going to have to move pass all that if we want to take back our school. They have our Headmistress and a few of your schoolmates off doing Merlin knows what so we don't have much time." Maddox rubbed lightly at his ear with his free hand, already feeling the effects of loud noises on them. "Naturally we have a plan." his expression turned to one of a more conspiratory nature. "What do acromantulas fear most?"
What? What now? Oh...Maddox had finally arrived in the Great Hall and look he was all in one piece. She wasn't sure if she wad a bit disappointed or relieved. What no battle scar? She did catch his single though but she needed to ensure that all her snakes were in good shape before she left them with the prefects. "We know what they're doing to them. They're eating them...or trying to at this moment!" SPOILER!!: Maggie Quote:

And Magdalena Natalie Traulton was too young to die.
Also too beautiful.
Following Caleb over to Professor Bellaire (it was a relief to have her there!!), Maggie noticed two people looking like they were having a mental breakdown. First was Thronton. Of course. Why was she not surprised? Good thing she hadn't wasted any time on him. Maggie just stared at him for a moment. Seriously?
And then the second was Toby. She looked at him for a little longer but didn't do anything else.
She had herself to worry about after all.
Attention back on the group of Slytherins surrounding her, Maggie nodded at Hady and took a small step closer. So SHE was alive too. That was good. And then Dot said something so stupid that it earned her an incredulous look. "Why would you VOLUNTEER to go out there?!" Was she insane? That's what the staff was for. That's what the adults were for. That was NOT their job. All THEY were here for was to learn things. This was a school not a war zone.
Although right now it was both, apparently.
And then Quigley spoke. Which reminded her, where was the Headmistress in all of this? Was she still rescuing students? Probably. Or battling spiders. But seriously, she SHOULD be here, leading them. Telling them what to do. She WAS the boss aft-
Oh.
That explains it then.
Huh. That was extremely discomforting.
They had a PLAN??? So far it hadn't exactly worked very well if the HEADMISTRESS AND STUDENTS had been kidnapped. And she knew what the acromantulas wanted. So was having the Headmistress and some of the students being EATEN ALIVE part of the oh-so-awesome plan??? "Can't we get reinforcement???" Maggie asked, not loudly enough to interrupt Quigley but loud enough for the people standing next to her to hear.
Like, Ministry? Yes? Was that it? Anything that would prevent them from sending STUDENTS out into battle.
" They will not get here on time. Remember there is no apparating into the school. In the mean time we'll have to defend ourselves and we have to win. They're beasts we're wizards. We are better than them and we have wands. Remember all that you were taught and use it. Don't be afraid to kill them because they won't be afraid to kill you."
With that Sophia moved away from the snakes to join Maddox at the dais. "If this doesn't work Quigley, I'm prepared to come out covered in acromantula blood...but I'm not dying and these children are not dying."
