 Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent
This was all a whole lot to process. Fear mist actually in the castle now, no access to his common room, bunking with the Gryffindors, still-missing students, and Gunnar was half-listening to the Headmaster and half-scanning the crowd looking for the people he cared most about. And from what was being said, there was no real way out.
Each familiar face he spotted in the crowd helped to ease his growing concern. But even though he caught sight of his sister and several of his friends, there were a few people he did not yet see. One in particular caused him real worry as he hadn't seen her in class either or at breakfast, and if she was in the common room...
But he put those thoughts aside, even if it was just for a moment as his attention was drawn to the elves suddenly freaking out and Professor O'Hara as her voice took on an almost hysterical tone. Honestly. Being panic stricken was not going to help anyone remain calm right now, and he expected more of the adults at least. Even if he was keeping it together for the most part, he knew that Chloe was barely holding on and he was sure many were frightened. And this wasn't helping. But thankfully some of the other professors kept their heads and attempted to be the voice of reason.
Chloe's frantic outburst didn't surprise him however, and he squeezed through the crowd so he could stand next to her. He put his arm around her as she began to sob, thankful for Thereo's comforting gesture on her other side. "It's going to be okay," he murmured softly to her in German. "I know they'll do everything they can to find them, but we have to stay safe too." Yes, basically reiterating the Astronomy professor's words to her, but he was doing what he could to reassure his sister, even with his own worries and concerns threatening to bubble over. And he was really starting to wish that he'd be staying in Ravenclaw tower instead of Gryffindor.
