Torii thought for sure that the hinkypunks would be diminishing in number by now. Surely the students far outnumbered them three to one. Surely everybody had taken out at least one by now, and the creatures would stop coming.

Nope.

Just as Torii took out one hinkypunk, another two were on their way. Oh, come on! "Lumos Maxima!" the fourth year casted. The bright light darted from her wand and headed toward the hinkypunk. Torii was happy to see the creature stop right in its tracks, a startled look on its face.

She followed that up with a quick, "Flipendo!" She was able to quickly knock back a second hinkypunk and send it on its way. She paused, taking a few seconds to check on her surroundings. Chaos, was the first word that came to mind. The area was a wild mix of both students and hinkypunks. Speaking of which, was there yet another one heading her way?
