As good a plan as that was, Garreth wasn't sure he'd be able to replicate the success of the first panicked attempt, but it wasn't as if he had any better ideas of his own.

Giving the other boy a quick nod, he rushed to find another critter. While he tried to move quickly and maneuver himself in such a way that another puffskein found itself between him and Jace, he wasn't so quick that Jace didn't have time for his attention to drift. Tracing the other boy's gaze, Garreth also found himself horrified by what was happening to the girl (Julia) with the monsters' tongue up her nose. He shot a glance back at the beast on the floor between him and Jace, and decided in a flash he wasn't going to let let monster do that to anyone else. Best to take care of that before rushing to the girl's aid.

"Heads up!" he called to the other boy whose name he didn't know, hoping he'd be quick enough to catch the beast in the basket. Another "Flipendo!", and a flick of the wand produced another knockback jinx - this time of a respectable strength - that launched the puffskein towards the other boy.

There was no time to see if he managed to catch the little demon, he had to help the girl being violated by the puffskeins! He rushed over and without really knowing what he was doing, tried to yank one of them of her face. Garreth had read about puffskeins, and their undying hunger for boogers, but in none of his books did anyone say what to do when under siege by one. In fact, they all said they preferred to eat the boogers of sleeping wizards, not ones who were awake and fighting back.

Jace could feel his eye do a series of twitching as he watched the puffskeins attack the poor girl’s nose. They sure look hungry, by the way. And Merlin...how much booger does that girl even have??? The eleven year old slowly lowered his hands and continued to gape at his fellow Ravenclaw and just stood there, too perplexed to function.

The sight was highly amusing, and at the same time very educational. Jace didn’t want to miss it out!

Of course, he got distracted when the boy had called his attention. The pygmy puff already flew away from his fellow first year, when Jace was just about to pick up the crate. The fluffy ball of creature crashed against his face, and Jace had to swat it again away from his person. Merlin’s beard! Jace was quick to pick up the humming creature though, and placed it inside his crate. One down, and a hundred more to go?

The Ravenclaw picked up his collection, and moved towards the same boy who was now...yanking one of the puffskeins off from the girls face. Jace made a horrified face, and quickly rushed towards the girl. The eleven year old followed suit and tried to get the other puffskein off her.

Yanking it off now, yes... "Keep still!"
