As per mother's request they were watching the hostages while she went to join the others back at the castle. It was sure the Hogwartians would be trying to reclaim their own and the spiders were on high alert. This meant patrolling the forest to ensure they didn't have any wanderers and in the event they did, well they would stick them in some webs as well.
It was the sound of yelling and magic that drew them back in. Something was wrong. Their hostages were to be stuck. How then were they using magic and making loud shouts of elation? What was there to be elated about from inside a web?
The small cohort doubled back quickly, rushing through the trees with little effort until they found their little clearing once more; this time filled with even more people. This wouldn't do at all. Mother would not be pleased. "You shouldn't be here!" One seethed as the towering figures slowly closed in on their new hostages and the old in an ever shrinking circle.
