Skyler quickly looked around. She saw a couple in the trees, she stepped far away from the momma and her babies. Skyler jumped out of the way from a couple.
"Stupify!" She shouted hoping to stun them.
At this point, it was complete chaos!




((Ooc:hope that's right, the post was kind of confusing.))

Without warning, he felt something connect hard against the back of his legs again and again! Falling to the ground in heap, he couldn’t help but turn mid fall and see an older Red Cap advancing on him, ancient bone clasped tightly in its claws. Hopefully it was too old to do any real damage.

Pointing his wand straight at the creature now, giving his wand a wave, he cried “Arresto Momentum!” causing the creature to slow to the point where he had time to compose himself and get back to his feet. Thinking quickly back to some of the spells his fellow classmates suggested now, his heart threatening to jump out of his chest, he gave his wand another flick and shouted “Expelliarmus” disarming the red cap of his unusually sharp bone. Taking a deep breath now, he looked around at the chaos around him, ready to help any of his class mates, a somewhat calmness taking over him.
The old Red Cap, though he was not as once as he once had been, was quick to move out of the path of the human girl's spell, which wound up hitting a tree and caused more Red Caps to join the scene. But soon the bearded Red Cap's began to slow down. It loud out an annoyed growl, especially after his bone was forced from his hand, as he continued moving forward at an extremely slow pace while the spell was still in effect.

The others whizzed past the old Red Cap, one dodging the stunning spell that had been casted. They didn't have bones or any sort of weapons. But they were much younger than the old creature, significantly faster and springier. They were even hoping from left to right to avoid any spells that were bound to come their way.

He readied his wand, casting a protection spell. "Protego," he said as he carefully made sure to evaluate his surroundings. He watched a young Slytherin cast a few offensive spells. Interesting. First attack..... He'd prefer to stay on the offensive just in case one of the creatures decided to try to surprise them, of course.

Constant vigilance. Constant vigilance.

Riiiiiight so they were marching to the forest. Did anyone else think that this was a bit…military school like?....Cal’s reaction about slashing it made Beth wince. That was intense indeed. She was silent, not answering anything at all. Instead of answering anything she just stayed in formation with her wand ready.

Oh…so Chase was going to protect Anna…hmm, did that redcap just bare its teeth? Marching closer toward Chase, Beth just walked closer to the Gryffnindor Chaser. It was then that she felt it, there was a THUMP and a redcap was on top of her. ”get off of me” she snapped as she began trying to pry the creature from her – ”petrificus totalus” she cast her wand pointing awkwardly at the redcap. Did it hit? She didn’t know – maybe it just stilled her hair or the leaves above her.

......... not this time though.

He yelled a few choice swear words (hopefully the shouting of his classmates meant that Scrimgeour didn't hear, ahem) and pointed his wand at the creature.

"Stupefy!" Max aimed a stunner at the Red Cap, no doubt his aim was slightly off though because this was all kinds of terrifying and he had no chill. Who was next to him and could he hide behind them, please!?
The Red Cap that had been sleeping and bore its teeth swung and missed, smacking its branch into an invisible shield. He quickly gave up on the boy and targeted the girl, giving her a good old smack and jumped on top of her, ready to crack the bone right on top of her head. It leapt off of her when the wand was pointed at him, avoiding the Freezing Full-Body Bind Curse just in time.

A stunning spell the whizzed by his capped head, which went flying to who knows where. The beast didn't care. He was ready to swing that femur bone of his again.

"STUPIFY! STUPIFY!" she called out as she shot spells at them. Had they hit their targets?

He had intentionally led them right through their home. And he was standing in the middle so the students would get the worst of it while he watched.

Tightening her grip on her wand, Natalie caught sight of two slightly smaller Redcaps together, one of which was running right towards her. "Immobulous!" she shrieked, pointing her wand at the little creature who jumped into the air. But then the other one was coming at her with his small tree to try and whack her. Her heart was already pounding with fear adrenaline and she managed to jump out of the way, shooting a disarming spell at him to rid him of his branch. "Expelliarmus!" she shouted at the other one, before it could chase her.
The two teenage Red Caps made it difficult to tell who they are targeting at first. The eager one, the jumper, dodged the stunning spells that the younger of the two girls casted and carried on its way, hoping to kick the other girl to the ground. But the older girl's spell hit, causing the Red Cap to freeze mid-air and drop to the ground. Its red eyes were still blinking.

The other Red Cap still continued running toward them, the branch swinging unpredictably. But soon it was forced from its grip. But did she need the branch? No. She still had her sharp nails, which were perfect for clawing. Without any hesitation, she leapt forward.

Oh.

MERLIN!

It seems she'd walked towards a mother Red Cap and its baby. Of course the mummy would be on fierce protective mode. The first warning she had that she'd disturbed them was when she felt hands grab her leg, fingers DIGGING into her skin. "OWwwwwwwwwwww," she screeched, falling onto her back.

Fumbling in her robes for her wand, because she stupidly didn't have it ready. She used it to poke at the Red Cap, enough to loosen its grip on her leg. "Stupid Hanna," she told herself. "PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!" She bellowed, swishing her wand in the horizontal-swish motion.

The mother Red Cap froze. However, it froze with its hands clamped around Hanna's leg. She kicked and KICKED to try and flick it off, but it was firmly in place. Trying to stay calm and not FREAK out, she pointed her wand at it and said "Waddiwasi," and, with a rip to her pants, the red cap was yanked from her leg, and PINGED into the air like a kite.
One of the humans got way too close for her liking, so she dug her fingers into the girl's skin. The screaming urged her to dig deeper and deeper. But suddenly the mother Red Cap froze, unable to move, her nails still latched deep into the girl's leg.

The Red Cap's grip did not loosen when the second spell was casted. Instead, a clump of the earth was shot in its face.

Hearing the commotion, three tiny Red Caps appeared at the entrance of their home. What was that big meanie doing to their momma? Simultaneously, the all let out high-pitched cries and pounced.

The deer liver had been dropped on the floor of the forest. His mouth was watering at the sight of the human who had decided to approach him. A dribble of saliva was coming from his mouth as he brandished his bone. He waited for the human to make the first move...

And he ducked her first spell. The second though worked as desired, causing dirt and foliage and even some snow gathered to form a solid shield of protection. But did that stop the Red Cap? No, no, no. It started beating on the shield with his bone.

But another voice echoed in her head the head master, booming in her head saying that wasn’t good enough.

Awesome NOW she had these thoughts going through her head.

The sixth year tried to keep her wits about her, senses tingling. Wide eyes looking around, head turning toward any noises. It seemed like they had only just entered the forest, but they seemed to be pretty deep inside the forest. Apparently it was deep enough to have stumble on the red caps. She stumbled on two young red caps, twin.. Maybe. They were staring at her, eerily. What the heck. It was so creepy the way they were staring at her. It was almost like some kind of scary muggle horror movie.

Was she supposed to do something now? All they were doing was staring at her. They wasn’t attacking her….yet. Would she get in trouble for striking first? Or worse yet would she get in trouble for not reacting first? She didn’t even think about it as she raised her arm. Pointing her wand at the twin red caps. ”Incarcerous!” A thick rope shot toward the red caps. If she could at least tie one of them up, both would have been ideal. She could at least battle against one of them. And she would be ready for them either way.

Chloe ignored the red caps and her classmates, trusting them to be able to fend for themselves for a MINUTE while she looked for the Headman himself.

It was impossible to ignore Juni, though, who seemed to be in a bit of a two-on-one situation. Chloe hustled from her spot mid-line, although the line itself had unraveled considerably. Her bestie was managing to hold her own for now, but the bookend red caps hadn't really attacked yet. And when they did... "Nice spell," Chloe was breathless as she paused at Juni's side.

"DEPULSO." Time to try out the theory of her blasting charm. "Can we run back to the castle? Isn't a well-timed escape the whole point?"
The two sister Red Caps remained quite still. The only things about them that moved were their eyes, slowly blinking, and the grotesque smiles that appeared on their faces. Didn't they look friendly? All they wanted were some friends to play with...

Their heads would be perfect for their collection! Their bones would too!

One of the Red Caps was suddenly tied up with ropes. She let out a high squeal, which prompted the other to glare at the pair and lunge forward. The Red Cap that was able to move about freely dodged the Banishing Charm, at the cost of her tied sister soaring backward with a loud howl.

Might even make him do more pushups that won't give him any muscles and would make him feel worse.

But something else that made him feel worse was the noise. All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise around him. People were throwing spells around and he could see red caps darting around and he just...... stood there. His eyes were wide and he looked around him to see what he could DO and how he could help but...... no. He clutched his wand tightly and, over the sound of the spells and the attacks, he could hear the sound of his own heartbeat and it did not-

"AAAAAAAARGH!"

THUMP!

..........

SOMETHING WAS ON HIM. SOMEONE ALERT...... SOMEONE - probably someone who cared, please - BECAUSE SOMETHING WAS ON HIM.

Lucas flailed where he lay on the ground, trying to get this..... this THING off of him. It was too late to wish he'd looked up instead of keeping his eyes out for his eye-level surroundings. Why weren't they told that they could swing down from the TREES?! Why wasn't this part of their learning?

Be vigilant? Yeah, it was too late for THAT.

"Get oooooooof! Getoffgetoffgetoff!" Every thought about what they had learnt failed him as he tried to..... uh, reach back and push it away but his arms were very short. But he was trying! Slapping the air counted for SOMETHING, right?

No. No no, this isn't something EMMA would do. Emma would probably have something clever up her sleeve and do something great and magical and- ....... oh! He switched his wand to the other hand - which was already a mistake but he had a RED CAP on him so this was...... necessary - and awkwardly pointed it in the direction of the Red Cap. "PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!"

LEAVE HIM ALONE.
The tree-jumping Red Cap clung onto the human boy for dear life as he flailed about, screaming at the top of his lungs. The creature was getting some sick enjoyment out of it all, grinning the entire time. Nails dug into the boy's skin, the beast getting more and more excited about the prospect of fresh blood, and... then he was paralyzed, still latched onto the boy quite tightly.

While this was happening, three Red Caps were watching from up in the trees. One of them took this as the perfect opportunity to drop down and say hello.

But the Headmaster taught the subject....he couldn't say no or else Ravenclaw would risk points loss, or he'd been thrown in detention OR even getting expelled. He could see him do that with ease. Actually, it had come as a surprise to him that some of the students hadn't been kicked out yet.

Wand at the ready, eventhough Dorian knew that it made no difference if he had one or not as a tree branch thrown hard enough could break throw his defensive spells. At the sight of a group of Red Caps. SERIOUSLY WHY A GROUP?! who seemed to be trying to win over an ugly female, Dorian froze for a moment before they started to attack.


With a LOUD and TERRIFIED shriek that could possibly alert the whole forest, Dorian threw the first spell that came to mind "Impedimenta!" to slow them down whíle he.....turned around and ran away. His specialty.

Glaring at Daisy for a brief moment, the sixth year quickly realised she had bigger problems at the present moment. Namely that a GROUP of these gross little goblin like people were running STRAIGHT AT HER and some other people (Dorian). Who, er, were running away. Okay, okay, this was fine, this was like August at the Ministry all over again, she could DO this.

"PROTEGO MUNIO!" well she was already thinking about it and it seemed the most effective cast to protect herself from UGLY RED CAP MEN. But she didn't leave it at just that, Sylvie knew better than to trust herself with just the one protection spell. Thank you Professor Hirsch! She'd never be here without you! ... Literally too, if you hadn't left! (Not the point!)

What what is?? UH UH OH! YES! "Fianto Duri!" Sylvie cast right at her newly created wall, making it SUPER STRONG. Let's see them get past THAT. Sylvie-1, ugly red caps-0. HA.

He wanted them to disarm their weapons before they could hurt any of them.

Luckily, the stupid creatures hadn't gone for her yet, allowing her to cast her own "Protego!" shield around her and a "Relashio!" into the crowd. Hopefully, she didn't hit any of her classmates.

Seriously, this guy thought this was effective teaching?!
Each of the male Red Caps that were dashing toward the human's were determined as ever to bring back to the female Red Cap as many skulls as they could. They dodged spells left and right, though some weren't so lucky and had lost their chances at winning the female's heart.

One of the Red Caps had been hit by the Impediment Jinx. It slowed down, but only for ten short seconds before he was running at full speed again.

Another ran into a solid wall that one of the female humans had created, then started beating on it with the bone that he held firmly in his hand. The wall didn't get any stronger, however, as the second spell would only allow her to keep the wall 'alive' and be able to cast other spells. He smacked that wall harder and harder with each strike.

The feet of one unsuspecting Red Cap was then stuck to the ground. He tried with all his might to lift his feet up, but was unable to do so. Then, to make matters even more embarrassing for him, his dagger-like bone was forced out of his hand and went flying. The creature let out a loud growl as he continued trying to get out of his sticky situation.

The first-year's spell did cause the bone of one of the Red Caps to go flying and even knock it backwards. It fell in front of two other Red Caps, only presenting a minor obstacle for them. The two leapt over their fallen comrade, who was already rising up from the ground.

One of the three then broke formation, targeting the human girl that had casted a standard invisible shield. Her spell did cause the Red Cap to drop his bone, but he quickly swooped it up from the ground and continued running toward her.

Scrimgeour took his position in front of large tree. From there he surveyed the scene before him. Of course he could have stepped in to assist at any moment if he wanted to. But the fact was that he DIDN'T want to step in. That was the whole point of this class. To give them a real life situation in which they had to problem solve and defend themselves, whether to save their own necks or to work together.

He was preparing them for the real world. If they didn't appreciate this opportunity now, they certainly would in the future.

With a flourish of his wand, a strong invisible barrier surrounded him. The headmaster was still visible to both the students and the Red Caps, though he did not seem all too concerned about that. After all, he was much older and more experienced. His shield would hold up, for it was strong and would be able to sustain a lot of damage before breaking.

Protective shield up, the man continued watching with leisure. If any Red Caps came his way, he'd let them have fun at attempting to break his barrier. As for the students, well, they appeared to be handling things just fine on their own at the moment.
A pair of Red Caps spotted the old man and quickly followed after him, hoping to sneak up on him and bludgeon his old brains out. But they were taken aback when they walked into an invisible barrier. Low growls were exchanged between the two of them and they started beating on the barrier with all their might.


OOC: For clarification purposes, it would be greatly appreciated if you would quote the section of Red Caps you are playing with so it is easier for me and everyone else to tell who is snagging what. I tried my best to figure out who was playing with what and grouped you together based on the description of the Red Cap(s) provided in your post or if you quoted them directly. I apologise in advance if I didn't get it right.

If you are not interested in the current Red Caps that are out and about, no worries! I can always have more show up.

Also, please do NOT play for the Red Caps. Allow them to respond to your character's spells, meaning I should be the one that determines the outcome of them (if they hit, if they miss, how long the spell effects last, etc.). Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! <3
