So...it wasn't that he MEANT to ignore Miss Song, but it was a little hard to pay attention when the other jarvey (who was now calling itself Miss Song) was being just so darn adorable and distracting. Maybe he should ask for a jarvey for a pet in the future? Or a ferret. The one in his arms seemed to feel pretty comfortable with him and especially his armpit. So there was a bit of 'mmhmm-ing' and such in response to the older Slytherin while he hopped between his left and right feet as the jarvey wove itself through his legs. He was pretty sure he had seen this sort of thing at a dog show once...a dog show and seen Auntie Jade attempting to teach one of her dogs to do this too.

Atlas could multitask, see? He could walk and chew gum at the same time AND hold a ferret and play with a jarvey.

Though the play time paused at the mention of a shadow and, his own mirror peeking around the hedge as he kept close to Miss Song when...when it happened.

Atlas nearly dropped the ferret while he sacrificed the mirror shard as his hand flew to his mouth to muffle the gasp that came out of his mouth at the sight of a wand being drawn on the other jarvey. He wished he hadn't been peering around the hedge at that time, but he had been...so he saw it all. The green flash of light. The light striking the jarvey. The jarvey lying there...dead....and Atlas felt as though a star had just collapsed inside his chest.

In his brief time here at Hogwarts...Atlas had now witnessed two out of three Unforgiveables in action.

It was a good thing that The Hoods™ had disappeared into the depths of the maze, because Atlas wasn't thinking as he bolted around the corner hedge and over to the deceased jarvey with a loud "NO!" Vision blurry from hot tears, the Gryffindor wasn't sure why he wasn't...well...why he wasn't relieving himself in the moment but he wasn't. Instead he was adjusting his hold on the ferret he already had, gently moving it to drape around his neck like a scarf, and then he was scooping up the Avada Kedavra'd creature as though she may turn to ash if he were too strong. Kneeling, he laid the jarvey across his thighs and then looked up at Aboli...absolutely sobbing.

"THEY KILLED HER!"

Composure? Didn't know her. He was distraught and, as it turned out, still with an empty bladder.

"SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG...AND THEY KILLED HER!"

Aboli was trying to catch up to the jarvey as well, using her mirror to her advantage. The fact that it was calling itself MISS SONG was kind of funny, too. She realized what the shadow was almost a second before they did what they did -

Her heart stopped.

The symbolism did not go over her head. She heard it loud and clear. Her first thought as the creature's lifeless corpse fell to the ground was to grab Atlas less he do anything stupid - Gryffindor levels of stupid - but to her surprise he merely cried out in a pain that made Aboli shiver. She watched the hooded figures for a second, her face impassive as she slowly crouched next to Atlas and the now deceased Mollywobbles. The green light replayed over and over in her head.

What to say? The kid was, like, eleven? Twelve? Aboli was hardly an adult. Like. A few months in to being one, and she was not nearly as wise as she had once thought, but she dropped her mirror shard to place a hand on his back, comfortingly. "She got in their way." She said softly. "We would be wise to remember not to do the same." Her tone was....cold. Not toward Atlas, of course, but it was there. "It was a warning."

Aboli send sparks into the air, not because she didn't think they needed help. They weren't in danger. But Atlas was so distraught, there was no way he was going to be able to finish the maze. The way he was holding onto the dead jarvey...Aboli's heart wrenched for him. She felt she could not comfort him to the best of her ability here, with the hooded figures so near. "It's horrible, Atlas, I know," she said as she pet the jarvey's head, gently, comfortingly, as if she were lulling it off to a peaceful death....

"We cannot freak out in here," she whispered in his ear. She didn't need him to start ranting and raving at the hooded guys and get himself killed....
