How to answer THAT question asked by Yoongi? With all the madness that had happened during his six years here... something crazy was bound to happen this year as well. "Spiders attacking us? Nope. I dunno what's up with them and I just hope we can get something done soon to get them away.'' And to find Ilia. Adi didn't mention that bit out aloud because the others around them hadn't known what happened. And yes, Adi had sort of avoided answering Yoongi's question properly. He didn't want to paint a bad image of Hogwarts.

The Hufflepuff cast a stern look at the Gryffindor. "That wouldn't be true, Yoongi. But nothing is going to happen to him. He can take care of himself.'' The man was equal to Batman in Adi's book. But then Adi let an amused look register on is face despite the situation. Yoongi was obviously panicking, not realising it was Marsha who had grabbed at him. Look at his face, yo!

N'awww. Marsha was clinging to him even more now. The sixth year didn't mind. He couldn't stop those spiders from dragging Ilia away but he would surely NOT let anything happen to the little Lion. He adjusted himself so that he was holding her more comfortably. She wasn't heavy at all to him. "Even Gryffindors don't have to be brave all the time,'' he assured her as he gently bumped his head against hers. "Don't worry. You'll be safe.'' They were all there for her, especially him.

Was that AJ? Adi shifted his weight so that he could look in the direction of his girlfriend. He was relieved to see she was alright. Without a word, he reached for her hand with one of his to give it a squish, the other still supporting Marsha.
