"I know but I can't leave him there alone. He's a friend," Dahlia had whispered quietly in reply to Tadhg. Friends stuck together, no matter what.

"Sorry," she mumbled softly when Quinn flinched beneath her arm that was wrapped around his shoulders. This wasn't anywhere near the right time for complete introductions but now that they knew who each other was, they had moved on.

Right on cue the three of them had cast their spells at the same group of dummies. The outcome was several explosions all at once or that's what it sounded like to her. The entire place was nothing but chaos, the screaming, pleas and dummies running everywhere. It was hard to remain focused, even more difficult to remind herself that this wasn't real. Everything here was fake, a messed up game that the evil 'Headmaster' had come up with for his own sick twisted enjoyment.

Lia could still feel Tadhg's hand in hers and she left it there, somehow it was making her feel that much stronger, that much more focused. Not immensely so but a tiny bit. Enough to attempt to continue pushing forward. "Keep going. Stick together and remember... this isn't real. It's a game. Not one we want to play but a game nonetheless." The small Ravenclaw cast a glance between the boys standing on either side of herself.

"I'm aiming for that concession stand over there," once again she aimed her wand at it to indicate where. "Maybe if we take out the entire stand at once, we can get the dummies nearby too." Slightly different approach but it might be just as effective or even more so.

"On three. Here we go.." Dahlia pull out a slow breath, aiming her wand at the concession stand. Focus, visualize, let it happen. "One... two... it's only a game," came the soft reminder, "three... BOMBARDA!!!"

All the energy that she could muster up right then, complied with her frustration, fear and angry was put into that one spell. Please work. Please have the outcome she had hoped for.
