 Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!
Welp. Being sneaky hadn't worked. It didn't help that Ashley didn't even try to hide from the Muggles. She loved her friend, but...did she really think reasoning with them would work? Ravenclaws were supposed to be smart!!
Mamie stared at Phoebe. One...one of the Muggles was dead? On purpose? She stopped trying to do the spell and looked up at the two fifth years with big eyes. So. They really did have to repel the Muggles, or the Muggles were going to die. First they had been kidnapped, and now their lives were in their hands? In the hands of children?! She opened her mouth to say something, ask some question ("why" maybe? but Rosier wasn't logical, she knew that) but the Muggles interrupted.
They could grieve the Muggle later.
She waved her hands at the Muggles, like she was trying to shove the air towards them. Or shoo them away like obnoxious birds at the beach. "You have to get away from the tree," she said, with all the force the twelve-year-old could muster when talking to adults. She pointed towards the gates. The exit was that way, if they could get by the scary bad man. "Run!"
She ran around to the other side of the tree, trying to avoid Cecelia and its branches herself. "No! Repello muggletum!" |
