They had quite a good little crew right about now! V was pleased with all who had joined them. They had Ash, Ivy, Eden Lisa __!

V listened to Ivy and nodded. "That's good and all, but we'll need a plan in case the river isn't strong. Do acromentulas not like water? And being close to the water could halt our fire plans," she said with a sigh, scratching her head slightly in thought. Edenwanted to make the ground sticky, and she shook her head. "I don't know how to do that. We could make a RING of fire and use the spell he taught us to encase them in the circle. And make a run for it?"

Lisa's plan was a good one unless the river was shallow and calm, but she managed to smile gently at her friend. "I'm hoping Trent will give us some guidance on the river situation...and who cares if they're real?" she shivered at both Eden and Lisa CARING about that. As if she wouldn't kill a giant spider if she was in danger. "Plus, I really don't think Trent would send us to face real giant spiders. That'd be a lawsuit waiting to happen."

V eyed her older Slytherin classmate's drawing in the dirt. "That sounds easy, Kayne, but you know it won't be THAT easy. And I'm only a second year, so I'm absolutely rubbish at charms compared to you all. And sometimes my wand doesn't even work..." she trailed off, rubbing her arm and looking at her shoes. She would feel useless if she couldn't perform under the pressure, and for some reason, to the second year, she felt SUCH big pressure to do well in this. It would the ABSOLUTE end of the world if she did poorly.

"OH!" she cried suddenly. "What if we SANDWICH them between FIRE and the river?! They'd have nowhere to go!"
