Bernie needed at least two more arms to cover her eyes as well, because she was going to have the image of Kale twisting and writhing on the ground seared into her brain for the next year. At least when he was still moving, she knew he was alive. Now that had stopped and she wondered, she really wondered, if he was... dead? Could the Cruciatus curse kill someone? She wanted somebody, anybody to go check that he was still breathing.... someone but her, please. She was busy being a wallflower. She was still living in denial that this was happening and there was no way out of this room because the Headmaster had sealed the door.
But wait, there's more. Because of course the new headmaster had to grab Ashley Fox (her fellow possessed person!) and hold her hostage. Merlin. Could he just give them a break for one second. Bernie's blue eyes welled up partially from fear and partially from suppressed rage at her inability to help and her self-loathing for not even trying. Her hands were shaking as she took them down from her mouth to make fists at her side.
Fine, she would answer the question.
"Destroy them with their own devices," she stated flatly, doing her best to keep her emotions on the inside. Her quaking fists might have given her away, so she tucked them behind her back like Schmoe liked to stand. "Take their Muggle inventions and use magic to cause destruction. Bring down their airplanes with a spell. Put poisonous potions in their water supply. Use dementors to spread fear in their shopping malls and office buildings. Manipulate the weather to cause catastrophic storms that destroy many of them at once."
She shrugged as though it was nothing. "They'll just explain it away with a natural disaster or something else mundane anyway." Muggles didn't recognize magic when it was a cursed teacup biting them on the nose. She ought to know. Her own parents had refused to open her Hogwarts letters, even when there were three delivery owls sitting on their fire escape with scrolls tied to their feet.
