Dorian let out a yelp in alarm when he felt hands on his shoulders and he was about to use his fists like Daisy had taught him in the defence practise room to fight off the Red Cap that had gotten him when he noticed that it was Skyler. WHY ON EARTH WOULD SHE DO THAT?!


His breathing intensified as he looked at the students fighting the dangerous creatures around them and then looked back at the Slytherin with his eyes widening. "DYING?!" he repeated and only vaguely noticed that Sylvie was trying to get their attention until her words registered in his mind. "PROBABLY?!" he shrieked, not the word he had wanted to hear.

Without wasting another second, Dorian ran to the Gryffindor, hoping that none of the Red Caps would attack.
