Text Cut: Dot

Wait.........what?

Maggie had stopped paying attention to what Dot was saying after she'd mentioned Noel Wallace dying. Why would he be dying? Why him in particular? Yes, he hadn't been the best at performing that unsticking spell in Charms the other day but that didn't mean he was going to DIE. He knew how to take care of himself. That was just plain rude to use him as an example.

Her attention had briefly been on the professors again. That is until....DOT had the AUDACITY to PET her HEAD?!!??!!?!?!??!!? Without thinking about it - and she did sort of have the excuse of being a little on edge, yes? - Maggie turned around and...slapped the other girl. Not before she heard the answer to her question however. It took her a moment to comprehend what Dot had said though.

There was Noel again. Along with the Headmistress. Who'd been kidnapped.

.....

"Noel is MISSING??" She repeated. Like...what?

Also sorry not sorry about that slap.

And thank you Bellaire for the oh so reassuring statement about their missing ones being near spider food if nothing else. The children would love that. "No worries, this'll work. We exhaused all 'maybes' and 'what ifs' remember?" A bloody long day that had been too.

He focused his attention to those gathered in the Great Hall once more, sighing internally at the ache ringing through his own ears. "Basilisk, precisely. We are going to give those acromantulas a reason to bolt so far into the forest even they'll get lost. How are we going to do that some of you," Ravenclaws, "might ask? Simple." This was where the silencing of the walls earlier had come in. No need to have their enemy hearing the game plan. "We're going to make them believe we've really got one roaming the castle again. From what I've heard, some of you are well aware of the Daydream Charm, the one that can makes others think things are real when they aren't. It'll take proper placement and good casting but that's what we'll do. Professor Bellaire will handle the snake skin transfiguration should we need to be anymore convincing than we already are."

There was a moments pause as things began being shouted across the room, even some things at him. "Yes, brilliant idea. Stunning is an option, a very useful one and so would outright blasting these buggers if they refuse to fall back. What we ask might be a little hard for some of you but this is where we need everyone to be brave. That being said, we'd like volunteers to assist with spreading the charm as far as possible, going on the offensive with these spiders and some for a little search and rescue."

This was where people started being overly selfless and throwing themselves at the opportunity to help solve the infestation problem in the school...in case some missed the memo or wanted to die.

Still in shock, Maggie turned away from Dot and back to look at Professor Quigley again.

Basilisk.....

Daydream Charm........

She had to focus.

Her life was in danger here. HER life was in danger here. She could DIE.

MAGGIE, BRAIN, USE IT!!

Okay. She was...back again. They needed volunteers. There were two things to be done. One was the spell. The other was rescue the kidnapped people. Now...which sounded like it was the safest option for her? The spell people were going to be working as a group. Along with - probably - Quigley and others. But then again, they were also the ones drawing attention to themselves. So the acromantulas would be trying to....but no....they would be thinking that it was a Basilisk.

The whole plan had flaws.

"What's the search and rescue part?" Maggie eventually asked. She needed to know to know which to volunteer for.

Dot was trying to take it all in, to pay attention to the sudden and LOUD appearance of the professors, and Maggie was kinda being a distraction too. "Two things. One, I have to live with myself if Noel Wallace dies and the world no longer has the pleasure of his face. And two, if the all the professors are out there and the spiders want to be in here... I'd rather be with them." That was just a no brainer. Go where the action was, because it was those left behind who didn't end up making it. For example, Bellaire. Bellaire wasn't gonna die. She was gonna live and take names doing it, and Dot wanted to stick with the people who wanted to survive most ferociously. It seemed, though, that those people didn't want to stick with her. Death was basically eminent, okay? At least Bellaire wasn't talking down to her about 'staying safe' and 'out of the way'. This was better. A task. She was KEEPING THE YOUNGER CHILDREN CALM. Like Maggie. And Hady. And Thornton, if she could find them. It was absolutely within her power to help... since she had just been explicitly asked to do so. By Bellaire. Everyone heard it. "Yes, Professor. You can count on me." Ahem. Maggie was a younger student. Hello, there, Maggie child. Dot patted the younger girl on the head and nodded in all the right parts. "Noel Wallace and the Headmistress. They're probably already eaten. You heard Queen Bellaire up there... I think they're going to use first years as bait." So maybe she'd start comforting people with some OTHER younger student. Wait.........what? Maggie had stopped paying attention to what Dot was saying after she'd mentioned Noel Wallace dying.
