Oh Blazing Basilisks she was going to die! Gah! She couldn't die yet! She had so much life left in her! She wanted to become a healer! Like her mom.. At least she had been kissed.. Oh goodness Cour!!
Breathe Azura just breathe..
Was she breathing? She couldn't tell!!
"Well.." her voice was three octaves too high! She cleared her throat and tried again.. "I'm sorry you don't have any turkey.. I could probably find you one.. But I'm glad you are doing well otherwise. "
Her legs still were not moving and she was frozen in the sand as it got closer..
"Friend?" Was someone going to die with her??
She didn't look around.. She couldn't..
"So.. You needed us for something? "
Oh hey.. She was shaking.. That was fun.,
HELLPPPPPPPPP

There was an Acromantula - a real life Acromantula, eight-eyed, eight-legged and gigantic - shouting and waving its front legs wildly. The Hufflepuff's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. He had half a mind to run away, but it was as if he was rooted to the ground. He stayed frozen like this, until he saw Azura talking to the giant spider (which was actually really cool) and it stepping closer to her.
He might have been terrified, but he was not going to let his friend get harmed. He walked quickly towards them and stood beside the Ravenclaw. He had his hand stuck casually in his pocket, but he was gripping his wand tightly, in case anything happened. "Hellooo, what's up?" he said in a weirdly cheerful voice.

She had her camera, Thomas, in hand and was taking photos. As always, Asher, the ferret, was resting on her shoulder, playfully nibbling at her hair. Hadley angled the camera towards the other bank of the lake, waiting for the blurry images to focus on...a spider!? Just how far did she have this thing zoomed in?
Pulling back on the zoom, the image came a bit more into focus. Azura was now in the shot. It looked like she was facing the spider, but she was probably across the lake, and the spider was close up giving the illusion of...why where they both in focus?
Hads lowered her camera and blinked a few times when the image persisted. Then it hit her. Azura really was facing down a spider and that spider was HUGE!! She was about to witness the death of one of her friends!
Instinct took over and in one swift movement Hadley tucked Asher into her chainmail satchel (A gift from Melbourne), drew her wand and charged over to Azura and the spider. Other kids were gathering...what the hell were they doing!? What was she doing!? She couldn't face down an Acromantula could she? And live? But she had to something; she had to save Azura.
So Hadley kept charging. Once she was in audible range she shouted, her breath a bit too short to get any good range, "Azura!! Get back!" And Hadley kept charging, until she was between the spider and her friend, wand at the ready. Only then did the now red haired girl realize she didn't have a plan. "Uh...please don't eat us..."

He made his way down the stairs and out of the castle, heading towards the lake where he'd seen her going.
He saw her off in the distance and hurried towards her when suddenly the acromantula spoke and shivers went down his spine as he heard the voice. NOOOO! Not them again! Why?!?!?! His eyes went wide as he turned towards it not too far from Azura. Mum and dad said they were safe! What was the spell they'd taught him?! Merlin, every thought went right out of his head.
"Azura...." he called out. Trying to keep his voice steady. Yes, get away from the spider! NO SPIDERS! At least that was one thing he agreed on with the other students! Back away!
Aletag clicked his pincers together eagerly at the human girl's (
FwooperOnYourLeft) offer. "
That would be splendid!"
With the promise of a whole roasted turkey on the horizon, his previous precious long gone now, the acromantula was about to leap hairy legs first into his dramatic retelling of events when more humanfolk (
Jean Granger) began showing up.
Was that some sort of human riddle?
"
The sky? Clouds?" Human intellect was something that remained a bit of a mystery to his kind.
OH LOOK! Even more reinforcements (
Callie &
Nymphadoraliz)! Shouting ones. But at least they were all keeping their sticks to themselves? Or did humanfolk at Hogwarts no longer carry their sticks with them?
"
Eat you? I've never acquired the taste of human flesh, unlike my predecessors and some of my brothers and sisters." Like his dearly departed mother. "
The alliance between my colony and Hogwarts prohibits us from it." An alliance that he was coming to honor now so the shouting could stop, yeah? "
Strange happenings in the forest these days....very strange...including unusual movements by some of our co-residents. I've come to offer my assistance in their removal."
And maybe a snack. Not turkey exclusive.
