He regretted coming out from under the table, and wondered if he wouldn't be able to go back under there now and hope that the situation resolved itself. Though logically he knew that that... was not going to happen.
Then Airey was there, with a hand on shoulder, and despite everything it was mildly comforting at least. So Airey was STAYING, and that meant there would be work to do here, yes? Did that mean Toby could stay? He looked up at the man at the shoulder squeeze, attempting a smile but sort of failing miserably. He let out a sigh and rubbing at his face with both hands. This had to be a nightmare, right? Toby couldn't remember ever having a nightmare before, but he imagined this was what it felt like.
... Hand still on Mr. Toby's shoulder, Airey was now attempting to hatch a plan to help distract the boy. No, not distract...hone his nervous energy and put it into something productive. The only thought that came to his mind was the same tactic he used on himself after the accident: teaching.
"Mr. Toby, perhaps it would be a good idea to gather those who are staying and instruct them on some defensive spells? " he suggested with a quick wink. Not really just a suggestion as an indirect order to go ahead and start doing that. Just because they were sitting here in the Great Hall did not mean that they should sit back twiddling their thumbs and play Exploding Snap - WHICH, he actually did have on his person right now. "Keep our minds sharp and reflexe---"
Well, hello there Miss Brown.
OH SWEET SOLSTICE. LOOKING AWAY. LOOKING AWAY.
And then came the abrupt pulling on his chest. No, not pulling...crushing. As if a super massive black hole had sucked it up and was now being crushed by its high gravitational force. At the same time his reality seemed to split in two. In one, the astronomer was instantly incinerated by the chaos and destruction that was Hogwarts at this moment, and in the other one he wasn't at Hogwarts at all..but home with...
Holding Pebbles and Boulder even closer now, he swallowed and moved away from the pair with his thoughts.
Yes. Focus. Assemble those staying. Do that.

Which included Meri-berry. He threw his colleage a quick salute as shopkeepers from Hogsmeade AND the Ministry arrived.
Thank Merlin.

She didn't think it was a good idea to be out there fighting with a newly healed rib. It needed to babyed.
Also, Heather was wondering why it seemed like Quigley was in charge. "Where's the Headmistress?" she asked, coming up behind the group of Gryffindors. 'Cause, you know, she'd kind of missed the first part of the speech there. "Staying too, by the way." "Taken," he informed the Gryffindor with a firm nod of the head. "By the acromantulas."
Not that that REALLY needed clarification or anything.

POUT. He could tell by the look on the young man's face the the professor's words had not been convincing, but they were all he had to share for the time being.
"Keep sharp your mind, Mr. McWitty," he said with as much encouragement as he could muster at the moment. "Wand at the ready and work on your Shield charms."

... Sabel received a small nod of the head as he continued to walk the room collecting those staying behind.

He perfectly well knew what he had signed up for so he couldn't lie and make promises he couldn't uphold. So he continued to smile as she told them about a Ravenclaw. He got it, she wanted to be with the people she liked. "Good idea, Marsha but i also want you to stay close to Professor Flamsteed or any of the other adults" he nodded his head, yes she would be safe with them. ... Oh! That was his name? Yes?
Not sure which direction it came from, Airey waved his hand. Over here!
"All those staying to protect the Great Hall over this way," he shouted with some wild flailing of his arms. Maybe they could provide some additional cover for those running off to the forest somehow. Once the plan was in action that is.
