The spells flowed from her wand, each adding another layer of protection to the room. Each one felt like a prayer. Salvio Hexia. Let no one who seeks to do harm make it into this room. Protego Maxima. Please keep us safe. Fianto Duri. Give us strength. And all too soon their efforts were going to be tested.
The taunts from the neo-alliance angered Neva, but she swallowed that down, willing herself to remain calm. "Keep well away from that door, please." This was really bad. Really, really bad. "Alright, those of you that wanted to help, this is your moment, okay? We need you now." Even the younger ones. Even they could do something. "Miss James, try Aberto, Alohomora, and Liberare. Try every single locked door, okay?" Neva had no idea if those doors would lead anywhere, but if there was a chance, they had to take it. "The freezing charm. We all learned it this term. You used it against moving targets in class. Even the youngest of you can use that right now, okay? Don't forget that. Older students able and willing to fight, please come forward. We could use every wand we can get." Some already had, helping with the charms to fortify the room as best they could. She hoped they'd be equally willing to defend themselves and those around them if it came to it. "We're going to get through this if we work together." How she managed to sound confident in this fact, she didn't know, but she was thankful for it.

Phoebe James was too good for this world, did she know? Actually, Cece knew the answer to this question and it hurt her heart that her best friend couldn't see it. If they survived this thing, she was going to make it her job to remind her as much as possible just how much she couldn't have handled all this without her help. They'd talked so much in private about feeling on the outside and about not feeling chosen, but somewhere along the line they'd kind of chosen each other and that meant everything.
Wiping at her eyes, the blonde nodded her head and pushed herself to her feet. She couldn't imagine any spells that she performed right now were going to be strong, but she was going to try.
......
Oh no. Nooo no no no. Cece felt her heart drop into her stomach as the sounds of the neo-alliance arriving filled the room. They were right outside and it was only a matter of time until they got in and there were so many little kids in here...how were they going to protect them?
Panicked, the blonde looked around the room for guidance. Professor Carton was saying something about staying calm, but she was beyond that point right now and conjuring anything felt way beyond her capabilities at the moment. And that's when she saw Flynn move towards Kale and MF... and Yoyo, Yoyo was alone, and she shouldn't be alone right now. And Phoebe was saying something about locked doors and if she was right, maybe they had a chance..."I'll help trying to unlock the doors. We will." If Schmoe wanted a team for the task, Cece was in. She went over to Yoyo and offered her hand to her. "We're going to help Feebs, okay? She needs us." And they needed her and the distraction and to help. At least Cece did.
