Charlie Kane finally...finally made it back to the pathways. What he saw on the way back did things to his brain while carrying as many brooms from the Pitch as he could. From high above he saw the mess of dismembered Inferi parts, burning trees, bushes, and grass. In a span of minutes, their school...his school was turned upside down just like that...and he felt like...they weren't enough to put up a fight.
On board his broom was school brooms bunched up together and tied at the back of his own broom with his belt, school tie, and shoelaces...leaving him with no choice but to toss his shoes aside and leave the Pitch without it. A couple more brooms were tucked under one arm, while the other maneuvered the handle, directing it towards the direction of the pathways with haste.
As he neared the place, Charlie could feel his insides turn. Was he too late??? The Inferi was gone, but he could see two figures on the ground...and...Merlin...Nonononono. Charlie lurched forward, and landed unceremoniously on the ground with the other brooms, and was on all fours as he approached the group. He could feel the blood rise and fall quickly from his head down to his toes...and felt like passing out too, out of panic and shock. Charlie balled his cold hands and willed his insides to calm the fwooper down. He had to think...he had to help everyone. It was the very least he could do because so far, the word 'failure' was plastered on his forehead.
"I...I got the brooms, Captain..." Charlie could feel his chest tighten, and was fighting back trauma. He knew he had to think straight. For his friends. Charlie took a deep breath (which was a bad idea considering the stench), coughed his lungs out, wiped away the tears that formed in his eyes and did slow breathing instead. He kneeled barefoot beside Grimsbane and covered his face. "This is insane..."
