Ilia was right. They WERE going to stick together. But why was Henric giving him a kerchief? His head? The sixth year raised his hand to move it along his temples and forehead. Bringing the hand before him, he noticed the blood. "I hadn't realised,'' he mumbled. It was now he noticed the stinging of the cut too. "Thanks, Henric. Yeah, we will. We can do this!'' POSITIVE VIBES!

Oh goody! Great thinking on Toby's part using the Silver Shield charm on Torie and Chris. Adi still made sure he was in front of them both. Don't ask. If one of his Hufflepuffs were in danger, he naturally jumped into papa bear mode or something of the sort. NO spiders messed with his Puffs!

In the midst of all the spell throwing, Adi hadn't really registered the fact that Maggie, Culloden and Moxley had joined them though he DID notice that one spider and his turkey. At least they had one distracted and not causing any danger to the human group.

But then...

WHAT?

WHYYY was that spider pointing at Ilia?! "HENRIC!" Adi shouted, despite being close to him and Ilia. "They're coming after Ilia.'' NONONONO! They were not getting to her. "Arania Exumai! Arania Exumai! Arania Exumai!'' The spells were directed at the group after his Snakette friend.
