Evie squeezed the boy's hand when he thanked her. She was thinking about what to say when Damien suddenly started shouting across the grounds. Her eyes lit up and widened and focused on the image of Professor Maddox several yards away. Oh, Merlin.
"MADDOX!!" Evie shouted, joining Damien. But the situation was urgent and Evie let go of Damien's hand to run towards the professor, new hope and adrenaline pumping through her veins. "Maddox!" she shouted again as she approached the professor, clinging her injured arm to her side. "You have to help," she exclaimed, already gasping for air again. Her stomach was churning. Evie's words were quick and hurried, but probably mostly sensible. "There's something in the Chamber! It attacked us and I think it took Lux and somebody else." SO, LIKE, HELP PLEASE?

"Just keep walking Maddox. You don't hear them." The Charms Professor muttered to himself as he held his head straight for a moment, now convinced everything would be easier if he was a cat. No one talked to cats--though Miss Shacklebolt did that first lesson. He would be safe. He would bolt back to his office before they even saw him transform. It was the perfect plan in truth and the man was all set for it...until he actually saw the children.
Dammit this is why he didn't want to look. Mister Belfort he could have...probably...pretended not to see but now Miss Shacklebolt was right there and--hang on.
"What?" Ravenclaw say what now? Blue eyes shifted between the girl and her friend who was steadily hobbling over. What....how...wh--"They--it--whatever took someone?????" Miss Carrington. Always the Hufflepuff, Merlin.
"Did either of you see what is was? Where it went??--The bloody hell were you both doing down there in the first place??" He rubbed at his face, wondering HOW students ALWAYS seemed to find SOME WAY of getting near killed. It was remarkable really. "Just....just start from the top, quickly." Oh Merlin, oh Merlin, oh Merlin. They had to move fast.
Damien was never more glad to have been abandoned. His leg, even with the makeshift bandage, was still not cooperating and he definitely couldn't run ( earlier it had been different,
adrenaline and all that), and he felt like practically cheering Evie on as the girl rushed forward to meet Maddox.
He followed at his own pace, just making it in time to see the Professor rubbing his face and hear his questions. The thought that they might be in trouble flashed through his mind, but he pushed that aside, there were more important things to focus on. "Professor, it was something
Big, and they
spoke, and they were insanely fast, Had to be hundreds of them!" Damien quickly explained the words running out of his mouth faster than water runs from a faucet. Start from the top, start from the top???? THERE WAS NO TIME FOR THAT. Lux and Cinna could have been being.. His stomach lurched and Damien could not finish the thought.
"We were in the girls' bathroom, the chamber opened and we jumped in, it was just me and Evie, sir, and all of a sudden- Voices, Freakin' Voices, everywhere and something grabbed Lux and Cinna, Professor, we have to go and save them, T-they-" He run a hand through his hair. "Evie's been injured, I think- I think something bit me,"
He was beginning to feel nauseous and a little light headed, he wasn't sure if that was from the bite or from the situation, he hoped it wasn't the bite or scratch, whatever the hell it was. "Professor, what do we do?" Because regardless of how he felt, he was not going anywhere.
