 Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!
Well, the tree was awake now. Hopefully, the Muggles would see that the tree was dangerous and--nope, they were still acting in fear and couldn't be reasoned with. Mamie's own fear was somewhat placated by the fact that her spell had worked. Technically, had worked, in that one of the Muggles was now tied up. But...her intent had definitely not been achieved, because the Muggles were still running around with branches.
She fell to the ground as one of the Muggles shoved her, but was able to react more calmly, now that they Muggles were running away, not charging at them.
Funnel... funnel the Muggles somewhere? Phoebe wanted them to make a wall with the repello muggletum spell to force the Muggles into a certain spot. That...that sounded smart. Mamie nodded, scrambling to her feet. Yes, they had a plan now. That was really all they had needed to begin with, wasn't it.
"Ashley, they're bigger than us. And they're too scared to be reasoned with, magic is all we have," Mamie protested. She wasn't going to disagree that the Muggles were justified, but. Sometimes you had to upset people in order to keep them safe. Like how you forcibly removed chocolate from a dog's mouth if it wouldn't listen to you. For protection. Yes, Mamie was still comparing the Muggles to animals. People were animals, Muggles and wizards.
"I'll go that way," she told Phoebe and the rest of them, gesturing that she'd circle around to the left of the Muggles. She could probably run faster than them, as they were all adults and she was still young and nimble. |
