They on the other hand didn't have the luxury of time and needed to bust in immediately. "Those willing to go on the defensive need to be at the ready. The Daydream charm is powerful enough and it'll already contain one basilisk. With the snake skin cover you lot will compose the other one. It'll allow you to get close enough to stun and blast these spiders when they come charging. Once I've cast at the door try not to head through it or you'll be under the daydream charm as well." Because they WOULD come charging, he could feel it.

"Charmers with me." The Professor stepped down from the dais, finally removing that painful charm from his throat. Normal talk now, yeah? No more of that loud stuff?

The man headed for the door to the Great Hall, trusting those that had volunteered would be right behind him. "What we'll need to do is cast this charm on any and all entrances. It'll take focus and concentration. Leave no windows or doorways unchecked. We need these creatures believing without a doubt that they are face to face with their worst nightmare and that'll take intent and imagination. Now listen closely." As he spoke, he pressed his ears to the door, trying to pick up anything with their over-sensitivity. From what he could tell the coast was clear. "I'll take this one, by means of a demonstration. The incantation is 'Sentio Somnium' and you'll make a circular motion in the direction of the object you want charmed."

Maddox cautiously pulled the door open, just a little then all at once. "Everyone out, I don't want you walking through this door after I've cast it, not yet anyway." They'd have to when they fell back to help protect the castle. The man waited a moment for them to step through before drawing his wand and casting. "Everyone clear on that?"

Well.

Daphne would have liked to have known who this guy was, but she guessed the front line was no place for introductions. He seemed legit, though, and there was nobody else standing here giving orders, so she gave him her undivided attention. She felt a shiver go through her body at the sound of spiders taking humans off to the forest. It was bad enough that ANYBODY got that fate, but it could have been her Kate.

Daphne followed the man to the door, not wanting to get caught up in the Daydream Charm. Her wand was still at her side and ready to go when need be. In the back of her mind, she tried not to think about the fact that she was trained to be a dragon researcher. She didn't even belong on the front line in a war against spiders.

Daphne knew the incantation, but she watched the demonstration anyway before heading out the door and away from the line of fire. "Got it," she told him, passing him by then getting out the way to allow for others to come through, too.

Kate thought herself to be on the tall side for her age, but right now, she was feeling so small. There were way too many people in one area, and it seemed very few of them knew what to do. Kate included. She'd talked to her mother long enough to hear that the woman was heading out to the front lines to do most of the fighting. Kate didn't want her mom to do most of the fighting. She wanted her mom right here with her.

...because Kate was scared.

Somewhere in the crowd, Kate heard a familiar voice and decided to follow it. Staying behind to protect the Great Hall sounded good to her. That meant all she had to do was find Professor Flamsteed and stay put. Finding him, Kate looked up and said, "I'd like to stay behind and protect the Great Hall." Did that mean she could just go hide behind a table somewhere and come out when this was all over?
