SPOILER!!: Hady, Maggie, Brooklyn Quote:

He was grinning, widely. THIS was going to be great. Awesome, even. Shrugging he nodded, "I'm cool with that, I'll have your backs," because that was the gentlemanly thing to do, right? He was itching to get started, even if he was going to rough it with a group of girls - not that they couldn't handle anything, he was sure they could, though he did sneak a side glance at Maggie. Was she going to be okay with this? Probably not, but he'd let Hady and Brooklyn comfort her when she broke down... she WOULD break down, that was his prediction, she was too girly to not be distressed by all of the dirt and bugs.
"Let's go, wands out," he instructed, taking the lead as he was eager to face these challenges.
He trudged deeper, cracking underfoot mingling with the sound of breathing and NATURE. That's what that sound was right? It had a kind of buzzing to it though... a definite buzzing.
Hady was rather calm as she watched the Patronus arrive giving instructions on what was to happen in the Professors voice. That was pretty cool and she briefly thought about when she'd be able to fully cast her own, she was getting there with it. The thought was cut short by birds dropping papers of instructions which she quickly read over and folded up putting it into her pocket.
She wasn't fussed at all by Brookly accompanying them as she knew Brooklyn and herself worked well together so there was no problem there. Maggie though, she wasn't entirely sure her other female housemate would do well with this situation. However it didn't matter there was no time to worry about it.
Zeke had agreed for the girls to join him but his comment on him 'having their backs' earned a raised eyebrow from Hady. She didn't want anyone thinking she needed to be watched over, protected. She could handle herself rather well. Keeping quiet though she pulled out her wand which she already had her hand on and follwoed Zeke forward into the forest easily falling into step at his side.

Maggie had SO MANY THINGS to say in reply to this. But eventually didn't. She didn't want to antagonize Zeke after all. Not yet. Not when he could still be of use to her. So she let it slide, simply lifting her head slightly and grabbing her wand firmly. Right. Let's go. Also let's not die.
Walking next to Brooklyn for now (seeing as the inseparable Zeke and Hady were, well, inseparable), Maggie followed them further into the jungle. Would there be stations? Would someone explain things? Would they be tested individually? Would they-
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
Her first reaction to the BUGS was to shriek and try and swat them away with her wand. Which was HIGHLY ineffective. Also she could no longer see the others. "Protego!" Okay. That was a....that was at least a start. Now what? Maggie had read the instructions and was currently trying to remember the spells they were supposed to use.
Being surrounded by water goblets didn't really feel like a good idea.
"WHAT DO WE DO?"
She did have team mates after all. They could at least try and be useful. Quote:

Brooklyn knew she and Hady worked well together, and she remembered Zeke last term during the mapmaking. She remembered he’d been the one to get them into the Chamber of Secrets, so that meant she knew he’d be useful. Not to mention she knew he at least meant it when he’d said he’d watch Hady’s back. Brooklyn was hardly offended by the suggestion she needed someone to watch hers. She could take care of herself, but she also knew it was so much easier when she had someone to do it for her. All queens had guards after all, and if he was going to offer…
It was possible she’d had the least response to that sentence, as the four of them had stepped into the jungle after the others who had already done so. All she was doing was listening, to the sounds from the students ahead of them, to the sounds of the jungle. Listening, and mentally complaining about the heat and the humidity. Professor Bellaire hopefully wouldn’t be quite as strict about appearance by the end of this. It would be impossible to look perfect after making it through a rainforest, after all.
She’d stepped away from Maggie as the girl had shrieked, narrowly avoiding being hit by the flailing. Unfortunately, it didn’t mean she avoided the cloud of bugs, but she’d pulled the note she’d gotten earlier out and lifted it over her face moments before she’d gotten a faceful of locusts and mosquitos. Ew, she thought, considering just trying to hex the bugs before she heard Maggie’s shield spell. Followed by the second shriek, and she sighed. This was going to take forever.
“Maybe we need something that’ll eat the bugs?,” she suggested, her voice muffled by the note still held inches from her face. She’d seen the bird spell listed there, and the dragon spell she so wanted to cast again. She wanted to get Balerion back. But that would mean finding a rock, and she’d have to move the note in order to do that. She wasn’t planning on that happening until she knew they’d gotten rid of the bugs. Was it something he said?
Between Hady's arched brows and the deafening silence, he was SURE he'd said something wrong... but for the life of him he couldn't think what it was, nor did he really care. Nope.
ADVENTURE!
The buzzing he had heard, very soon turned into a SWARM of bug things... like, a CYCLONE of bug things. Holy crickets.
....
Zeke swatted about at the air in front of him, though bugs wouldn't KILL him, would they?
....
"We freeze them," dduuuhhhh... was Zeke's response, but as was about to cast the charm, realised just that. It was a charm. Were they allowed to use charms? Professor Bellaire hadn't exactly instructed SPECIFICALLY to use transfiguration, after all, her words were to use the BEST WAY to like survive the phases... as far as he could tell so far in his three years of study, was that charms were by far more useful.
But then Brooklyn mentioned something to EAT the bugs??
"What? Like ... lizards? birds?" OOHHH, were there rocks? They could totally turn them into dragons! Dragons were lizards, and they could breathe fire onto the bugs! CRISPY BUGS! "I say we find rocks and use draconifors."
