Olly let Noelle pull him along and picked up his pace to keep up. Soon they ran into more people. First Rula and then some others. It was probably a good thing, right? Safety in numbers? Or would large numbers just draw the monster in because of the potential for a feast? He was hoping the first one. Since Noelle knew more than he did he let her do all the talking. What would he say anyway? Olly hadn't seen the monster, and he didn't particularly want to. But he had to see it to fight I... but would he really be able to take on a monster? He tried to stop overthinking it and just keep up with Noelle.

He hears the announcement about going to their common rooms but he was not going to leave Noelle. There were a bunch of other students still out there. And if all the students were in one place wouldn't that draw in the monster?? "Anyone have any ideas which way it went?"
