SPOILER!!: He says only if he's allowed to tease her XP

Of all the things he expected her to say, he hadn't thought she would say those two words without following it up with something else. How... underwhelming. But it meant she thought he was right, right? Which was a good thing, despite the reality of it all.

He had known she meant NOW, duuuuuhhhh, but his answer was still the same. Now and today were one and the same, and experiencing his death was not on his to-do list. Did SHE have to be so morbid? Maggie needed to relax somewhat, was she forgetting they all had wands? SURELY they wouldn't all die just like that, they all knew enough to be able to stand a decent chance - 'cept maybe the first years, they were screwed.

And if he thought her question had been silly, her response to his joke was even sillier. As if he'd trade her life for his. PFFT. He wasn't a monster. Did she think he would?

...

Zeke just shook his head, not even dignifying the ludicrous notion with a response. Just, no.

He was bracing himself now, perhaps prematurely, but he was ready to launch into attack mode if a single hairy spider leg dared enter the hall. Even Maggie's suggestion didn't ease the tension. "It could work, maybe, but it would have to be darn impressive fire, or we'd only be hindering ourselves." The last thing he wanted was to be trapped in a ring of flames if the spiders used their long legs to stilt-walk over them. Could they even do that? He was sure that they could jump. Not good. Not good.

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.
