Tapping one finger on the handle of their wand, Nem continued for a moment longer to just stand silently in place, even when Limpet started her whole bit. Only when they'd explored several different mental avenues - and were sure that by looking down at the girl so determined to throw them off balance, they wouldn't give in to exactly that - did Nem abruptly back out of their mind planet thoughts and look at the others.
Let it be known that Weasley was already back out of Nem's good books, sticking them with a babysitting job in a place like this. First thing on the agenda was slipping away from the infants. Things around here already seemed to be going off-piste, if that hysterical old battle-axe was anything to go by. At least Wilbur was preoccupied with her for the moment.
"You mean 'brumating'?" they said to the Luck girl, subtly working at unlatching Limpet from their side. Maybe she'd reattach to the other girl, like a magnet switching targets, if they timed it right. "I suppose we-"
But Nem didn't get to finish that sentence, what with the Chinese Fireball. They watched it bound over, and then looked beyond it, in the direction it had come from, once they were sure it had someone else in its sights. It seemed... unlikely (though not impossible) that the baby would be out here on its own. Nem was not alarmed in the slightest by a baby Fireball running full pelt at a second year, but all the same, they considered casting a shield charm in front of the kid, ostensibly so the dragon couldn't reach her. What did Nem care about underage magic restrictions? Anyway, they could claim threat to life, easily. There was a charging dragon and everything.
Of course, a nearby mother might be very unhappy about its baby being stopped in its tracks, its fun abruptly ended.
And that could end very badly.
"Protego." Nem threw up the shield between the baby dragon and the second year without another thought.
