Oh, there was Evie! And she looked... well, he couldn't quite tell, but she was alive and well and telling off that guy for volunteering so she was okay. Relatively speaking of course. He'd... just kind of left her hanging all those months back and with everything that had happened hadn't really felt like it was a good time for anything. NOW however, watching her fret over the guy...

NOT NOW. Bad timing. Moving on.

Turning his attention to all the first years who'd suddenly caughthis attention, he zeroed in on a redhead who looked familiar. Granted, if it was her, the last time he'd seen her she'd been much happier and decidedly less fearful for her life. Her holding on to the Hufflepuff prefect was proof enough to see that she was terrified. She was related to Benny, uh, somehow. And Xandra. She'd played with Suri. A wave of immense relief washed over him as he realised that this could all have just as easily happened next year with Suri at Hogwarts and he shook his head. Talk about making terrible, impossible decisions.

Benzi was dragged out of his thoughts by the sound of the male Slytherin Prefect, and frowned at him. Clearly the guy Evie was berating was important to her - otherwise he failed to understand why she would berate him - so why was Newell yelling at him like that and being REALLY not nice about it?! Really uncalled for. He was JUST about to turn away when he saw the hug exchanged between Newell and Evie and couldn't help but stare.

This was going to be a problem, he needed to stop looking. MORE ADULTS, the best distraction. Good. Yes. Hello, probably Ministry people. Distracted by all these unfamiliar faces, all Benzi could come up with as a reply to Dakest was, "Yes. But we have to succeed." Noel's my best friend was a phrase his mouth decided to let go unsaid, and he was eternally grateful. No need to let Dakest know he was emotionally invested in this. Didn't they have rules about that or something?

Matching Sophie's weak smile with one of his own - he was going to silently judge everyone who thought this was a good time to crack jokes and laugh without a care in the world - he blinked as one of the new people spoke up (Cole). ... ?????? "Si-" he wanted to start, affronted A WRONG, but caught his tongue and instead listened to what his peers had to say about this. Meanwhile, Benzi felt his anger levels rising at that statement alone, and took a few imperceptibly long breaths. He really needed to keep his wits about him. No slipping up could happen. Not tonight.

Okay, Miss Ministry. He could do only sixth and seventh. Perhaps some good fifth year old but DEFINITELY no prepubescent children. Lips twitching at Dakest using Sophie as an armrest, he nodded vehemently at the DADAProfessor's words. Yes. The students could help. The students WOULD help. Benzi might not have an O in his O.W.L like little Miss Sophie Prefect there but he was confident he could hold his own against ANYONE in this room, and on the grounds.

A sentence Dakest had said echoed in his head as he waited - silently, because if he were to speak he might start getting himself worked up, and that would lead to yelling and then to a whole lot of very bad things - for the group to decide on who was coming and who wasn't. "... but bravery exists in every choice here." He looked around for Hayley again. She was brave, she could handle this.

"So. What's our plan? Do we know where they'd holding them?"
