Well the spiders HERE weren't going to kill them THERE.
There was so much wrong with this scenario. Like the fact that it was HAPPENING to begin with. Why did people have to die so often at Hogwarts? Maybe he would have been better of at Durmstrang. Maybe.
But thinking wasn't going to save their skins this time round... action would. Zeke raised his wand and directed a bluebell flame toward the door too... anything was better than nothing he supposed. Especially when there were others out there that needed them too... kinda.
Everything was different. Not only was he facing death but Maggie was different to her usual self. She was more open, even caring. Of course this wasn't to say he thought that she wasn't, but she was always so thick-skinned and aloof, like nothing and nobody else mattered. He finished his work as she spoke again.
...
... what?
Maybe they could WHAT?
Zeke arched his eyebrows, waiting for Maggie to continue, instead what he got was a silly question. "I will, one day, but not today." He couldn't say this with any real certainty, but he wasn't about to admit defeat before the battle was fought. He might only be in his third year, but he wasn't going down to a bunch of glorified insects without a fight. "But if I did, at least you'd be off the hook for that favour you owe me." His attempt at humour wasn't his best, so he was quick to turn his attention back to the door and the bluebell flames.
He had a point. Of course he did.
UGH! Why was he right?
Maggie frowned and sent another bluebell flames charm towards the door. Just because there was nothing else for her TO do right now and not doing anything made her feel anxious. "I know." She replied quietly. More frowning was happening. Also she was back to glancing around to see if there was SOMETHING they could use to defend themselves.
Or you know, hide from the spiders at least.
Well that was a dumb answer. Forgetting all about being confused about Zeke's offer to protect her, Maggie wrinkled her nose at him. "NOW, I mean." But it was nice he was so confident about not dying today.
He was bringing that up NOW?? The favor she owed him. Seriously??? "I won't choose your life over mine." In case that's what he was going to suggest. Just saying. That wasn't happening. "What if we surrounded ourselves with fire?" That sounded like a good plan in case the spiders actually came INTO the Great Hall. |
