Maxie was still every kind of struck (except star) as he stood by. Anxious? no, he was much too shocked to be anxious or fearful but not enough to keep from gripping his teammates hand with every bit of strength the Hufflepuff possessed.

The other students seemed almost excited to be part of this, like it was some kind of???????? exciting thing???? in his opinion this was not exciting, in his opinion this was threat level 10. The first year was unable to vocalize this, for he was far too busy currently trembling like a leaf about to blow away.

It was only Aaron and Professor Adara which kept him firmly rooted.

Anyway? anyway. Maxie shirked back as the Mutant approached their group, it's innocent fluff did not fool him- had actually never fooled him. it was like those little tree frogs with the bright colors and big eyes that were actually very poisonous.

Maxie right then and there decided that being poisoned would be a billion times better than being eaten. He clung then to Aaron, hiding partially behind the older Chaser. "S-s-Someone g-g-give h-him food." Maxie stammered, his water-colored eyes the size of dinner plates.

QuicKLY. QUIcKly.
