Hey, he knew that voice. Hang on. What.
CUTTY?!
. . . Okay, calm. Whatever. No time to be mad. Just... Benzi wondered why his friend had disappeared then reappeared out of nowhere without so much as "hi I'm also here." But okay. Sure. He'd protect him from a distance. Like he would everyone.
And also ignoring that Cutty was partnering up with Dakest. Moving on.
Eyes going to the point where the venom entered the forest, Benzi lit up his wand, nodded to Dakest when he said to stick to their pairings, and followed the group into the forest as soon as the Professors blew the age line. Fat load of help it did, the spiders had still managed to carry all the imprisoned students inside. A shiver ran down his spine as he stepped in between the trees, and suddenly didn't understand why the age line was required. Why on earth would someone voluntarily want to walk around in here? Gripping his wand a little tighter, he rolled his shoulders, looked over to make sure Jackson was still beside him and still breathing, and walked on.
Benzi was ignoring everyone in the group who wasn't giving instructions, although his eyes did briefly flicker to the two guys who knocked into each other. At least he and Jackson managed to stay in sync enough to not literally cross paths. Silently judging, he sighed and pressed on, his eyes landing next on his head of house and followed his line of sight to... oh. Oh no.
He QUICKLY turned away from the sight of the dead unicorn and tried not to dwell on what the spiders could have done to Noel in the time it had taken them to get their butts in here. That was a UNICORN. The acromantulas hadn't even spared on of the purest animals in existence he dreaded to think of what they would do to.. to humans. Benzi shuddered and went about slashing at the heavy webs like the rest of them were doing, very much on edge and his previous thoughts all but gone from his head.
This was.. not fun. At all. He needed to grab Noel and leave. NOW.
Jumping when Kitridge announced that he could see the hostages, Benzi quickly pressed forward and tried to peer in the direction he was looking. Bloody webs, he could barely see a thing. Also, yeah Mr. Kitridge, like everyone said, shouting was probably NOT a good idea. But then Professor Morgan spoke, and Benzi's mind cleared.
Right. The plan. The plan was solid. Take care of your partner. Grab a hostage and go. Turning to Jackson, Benzi hissed, "we're going for Noel Wallace, blonde guy, Hufflepuff, fifth year. You ready?" he asked him, and did his best not to search for Cutty in their group. Not the time. Noel was the one in danger.
Actually that wasn't true, they were ALL in danger. Now that Professor Morgan and Mr. Kitridge had noisily announced their presence, no one was safe.
