While this was happening, three Red Caps were watching from up in the trees. One of them took this as the perfect opportunity to drop down and say hello.

Stella's eyes widened in horror as she seen Lucas fighting one of them off for dear life. " Get off him and leave him alone!" she said bravely not knowing where that came from. "Oh great...more came to say hi!" she said looking at the one who dropped down. Helping Lucas get the paralyzed one off him she pointed her wand at the one that dropped down.

She wasn't afraid of these little ugly Creatures she was a Gryffindor! She was a strong and brave lioness no stupid red caps better mess with her! Her wand pointed at the one who dropped down she smirked at it.

"Stupefy!"

She might be a first year, but she was angry that these red caps attacked her friend! She was sure that would teach it not to mess with them, she could only hope. "A..Are you ok Lucas?" she asked him. " Relashio!" she said pointing it at the red cap that was stuck on Lucas hoping to get it off him.

Wand clutched in his hand, Derf took a moment while marching to give himself a bit of an advantage - tricky and clumsy as it was practicing magic with his non-dominant hand. "Prehenso," he muttered to himself, intent quite clear and relief washing over him as he felt his hand tingle and feel a bit like sandpaper when he rubbed his fingers together. Nice to know that under some pressure and nervousness he could still perform a bit of magic, yeah?

Gripping Charm in full effect, and just in time for that matter, Derf's sense went into complete overload when the creatures attacked. Flashbacks to the grindylows of last term in FULL effect, his muscles were acting on pure instinct when his wand flourished about himself. "Loricatus!"

That had been one for his OWL's. He may not be particularly proficient at offensive magic, but when it came to defensive...he was fairly confident.

It was the scream that alerted him first and sent the sixth year spinning in the direction of the younger Gryffindor. Thankful that he had aid, Derf decided to fix his attention on the two first years since, well, they WERE first years. Though he loathed it when people thought of him in this manner when he had been one himself...life had an ironic way of turning things on their heads and making hypocrites of us all now, didn't it?

From his spot, he could see perfectly the trio of red caps in the tree. Well, duo now that one had jumped from its branches on to the pair of lions. "Expelliarmus!" he shouted, shooting off a few spells towards the arm red caps as he came to a stop beside Stella and Lucas. Stella seemed to, mostly, have a handle on things on the ground which meant he was going to turn his attention upwards to the trees. "I'll keep the others away, you keep your focus on Lucas," he nodded to her before flourishing his wand again to protect their group from an further strikes from above or the ground. "Protego totalum."

THIS. RED CAP. WAS NOT. LETTING. GO!

AND HE DID NOT LIKE IT.

Lucas wriggled a bit more, as if to shake the creature off, but something else happened that distracted him even more.

..............

"AAAAAAAAAAARGH!"

Maybe all that wriggling didn't help, maybe it was because the Red Cap was just...... mean, but all he knew was that wriggling did NOT help. It just made the situation even worse because now, he had nails in him.

NAILS.

This was the worst day ever.

He hardly had time to register if his spell had worked or not or that someone else was talking to, uh, not him but the Red Cap on him. There was too much noise and too many spells and he didn't really have time to know WHAT was going on. It was all..... too much. All he knew was that that HURT and he didn't like it and he might - MIGHT - start crying any second now.

Something he DID notice was when he heard the sound of a voice saying his name and that was what made him lift his head a tiny bit off the ground. "St-Stella? Is........ is it gone? Am I....... free?" He felt for his back to try and see if the creature was there or not.

And that was when he heard the sound of another voice. One he knew but didn't really know very well so he...... turned his head a little to try and- ..... Oh! The Hufflepuff Prefect. Who...... was seeing him laying on the floor and being a, uh....... a coward? Yeah, that was the right word. He was a right coward.

Another feeling started to settle in: one where he felt..... terrible. Useless. Yeah, that was it. Maybe it was because of this that he lifted his head a little bit more and squeaked, "Do..... you need help? I can help." He might be a first year but he still had his wand on him. He even held it up in the air for the Prefect to see.
