Maggie hadn't exactly STORMED off so she could still hear the Healer when she called after her. She even stopped to look over her shoulder. "....thank you." Manners were a thing and she DID have them.
Also having Healer Murdoch on her side was definitely a good thing. Text Cut: Airey and Cece Quote:

Which Maggie happened to be. Cece took her job as head of house very seriously. She was not going to let the students of Slytherin house do anything that she willingly knew could get them killed. She didn't care who liked it or not.
And here was another person telling her how to handle her students. "Like I told Flamsteed over there, I am not sending my Slytherin students out there to their impending death." Again, she didn't care who liked it or not. "If and when you ever become a head of house," which Cece did not ever see happening, "then by all means, you go ahead and let your students do whatever they want. But for now, you just worry about yourself and not what I'm doing."
Not waiting for a reply from her, Cece turned on her heal and walked away. She had more important things to do than stand around arguing with this nut. Quote:

Not wanting to cause too much of a scene, but also unable to keep his mouth shut, Airey made his way towards Cecelia with his eyes all bugged out and mouth gaping.
"This school is just as much theirs to protect as it is ours," he said, trying to keep his voice low enough so that it was only the Healer who could hear...but not doing so well at that. Those things are not going to spare anyone if they break through, so she really should not go making promises that they may not be able to keep. Hogwarts did promise to keep its students safe and, well, look at this astronomical mess they were in now. "Let them. It's their right."
His sudden tone of confidence and determination just now surprised even himself, but he was soon scampering away with a sideways shuffle back towards the group of students with his wand twirling between his fingers.
He would most likely wet himself later once he realized what he had just said and to whom...but...you only live once? Right?
Ahem.
"Alright everyone, listen up," he said loudly. "Besides Arania Exumai, rumor in the corridors is that fire has worked well against the acromantulas. Now, casting Incendio would be FAR too dangerous a task while plans are being executed. May accidentally cause harm to one of our own. Which is why I suggest create a perimeter of bluebell flames as well as fire a few rounds off once those doors open, if nothing else than to be an additional distraction for the acromantulas while the daydream charm takes effect. Robes may be singed, but no harm will come from that."
Besides, most everyone's robes were in shambles already. Even his suit, as he just noticed now, was no longer in perfect condition. It was ON, acromantulas. SO ON.
Again, this was mostly to give this group something to do to keep their minds focused and alert on something other than wanting to wet their trousers with what could be. Or crying because of, ahem, allergies.
"Wands at the ready and get to it. Use whatever lightweight scraps you can find for the flames to condense around. Even bits of your robes. And remember, these flames can also be directed to a desired location. Just try to focus on your duty to protect Hogwarts."
OOC: I cannot find a SS canon incantation for Bluebell Flames and since it is a HP canon spell for a subject I do not teach, I do not feel comfortable making one up. So...just roll with not saying anything specific or doing a specific wand movement for now<3
Speaking of sides, Professor Flamsteed AND Professor Morgan appeared to NOT be on Healer Murdoch's.
Uhm. Okay, Maggie was just going to linger here next to her Head of House. She wanted to hear this. And she kind of enjoyed watching the Astronomy professor get bested by the Healer. Did he honestly think she wanted to go out there to protect the school? Seriously? The Gryffindors could do that. But she was NOT one of those. However, the whole staying in here thing still wasn't too appealing either.
She didn't really have a better alternative though.
"Yes it does." Fire. Working on the acromantulas that is. She'd blown one of them up, remember? Yes. She was definitely an expert on how to kill those giant creatures.
So if anyone had any questions, Magdalena Natalie Traulton was here.
Was it really her duty to protect Hogwarts? Maggie didn't think so. And she most certainly was NOT going to tear pieces of her robes off. So instead she looked around for something else to use. However seeing as it wasn't time for any of the meals there weren't any napkins or the like lying around. Oh, wait...
"Can the house elves send us something to use?" They didn't have anything better to do, right? |
