 Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!
Good Merlin, Dahlia looked rough. Was the first year crying? Mamie paused her spell attempts to go comfort the barely younger girl. She heard somebody use immobulus, which seemed like a good idea for protecting the Muggles. Why hadn't they thought of that?
She patted Dahlia's back, saying "there, there" as one did, when...the Muggles were charging them?! With sticks!? Mamie shoved Dahlia behind her, barely younger or no, first years needed to be protected. Which meant she had to stop the Muggles. To save Dahlia and herself. And Ashley was being no help at all, she was just yelling at them. Yelling at an angry mob did not help, Ashley! she wanted to say. Instead, she acted.
"Incarcerous!" she cried, casting the first spell that came to mind. The one Aboli had used on the rat earlier, to keep it from the danger cheese. She didn't wait to see if it worked, just kept repeating the spell on all of the Muggles, hoping it would take and they'd all get tied up and stop trying to attack them. |
