It had taken everything in Stasya not to roll her eyes at Max’s incredulous reaction to her absolute statement. “They take care of themselves. But the creatures in the barns aren’t equipped like wild animals are to protect themselves against danger.” Which reminded her of her concerns about the unicorn foal she’d almost met way back in first year with its mama, that she’d been so focused on verifying their survival and how that was essentially going against her current argument. But she wasn’t going to back down either, and the death of Aster proved her point anyway. If the creatures couldn’t protect themselves from an insane and probably sadistic professor, they certainly wouldn’t last in the Forbidden Forest.

Plus, Derf was hurting and she wanted to help him. Even if all she could do was support him, and there was that point about how Scrimgeour would of course side with Petrov over their word. “Maybe we could go to whoever is above the headmaster in power?...,” she began to wonder aloud, thoughts going back to her actions before the holidays that had nearly broken Professor Marchand more than he already was when she’d confessed it to him before everything was derailed by that scream. That scream and the sudden appearance of Professor O’Hara, which honestly would have been more startling if there hadn’t been the debate in History of Magic class ages ago about the invisibility cloak. Spying was definitely suspicious, but her reaction to Jessa’s scream had made her wonder if the woman was really that bad. Secretive, obviously, but maybe she wasn’t a minion?

She hadn’t wondered about why Derf had known the scream had come from Jessa, either. But she’d visibly flinched at Chloe’s reprimand toward the professors, expecting the worst. The worst that surprisingly didn’t happen beyond proving even more how shattered her own head of house was by the events of this term. Probably previous terms too, actually, but he’d ran off toward Petrov’s tent before she could say anything, along with the History of Magic professor and Chloe.

Honestly, she wasn’t certain of how useful she could be. Dueling abilities aside, the idea of what might happen if she’d hexed one of the headmaster’s minions was terrifying. “I’ll stay with you too, Derf. Whatever you want to do.”
