 Mischievous Niffler
Alice felt Eni's back pressed up against hers, even while her hand tightly clutched the Hufflepuff's hand. She heard the girl shout about needing to get out of there and that the professor needed her wand. But how could they when they were surrounded - and even more humiliating, her wand wasn't with her. Being a history of magic professor who was notoriously bad at magic, she rarely felt the need to carry her wand around with her while exercising.
But before she could even begin to formulate a reply, the things with the wands started chanting. It was a countdown. Only one thing could possibly happen at the end of the countdown. She knew in her heart that of everyone at the docks (or in the water), she alone was their victim. She alone would be inflated with air and sent bobbing into the sky like a balloon.
"ENI!!!" she shrieked, turning to the girl with a delirious look in her eyes. "I am losing my mind! You have to get the others and get out of here!"
The countdown continued. Now it was joined by clapping and hollering. Everyone was here. Everyone was watching her. They were all laughing and pointing at her. They were all going to watch her disappear into the sky. And everyone was the wrong age. This couldn't be real. She was going crazy, probably because of that oar.
But then -
Eni summoned a wall of stones. Just like that, the crowd couldn't see her anymore.
Alice let go of Eni's hand and placed both her shaky hands on her shoulders. She tried to clear her mind. "CAN YOU SUMMON YOUR BROOM?"
It was the first clear thought she had had since being hit with the oar.
