Having fled from the collapsed wooden bridge, Nem had taken a different route back across the ravine, one which mostly required getting a decent distance from the wreckage, scrambling down into said ravine, and then back up to the top on the other side. Running on that last rush of adrenaline was all well and good, but Nem had had to stop several times all the same, when the world started to spin around them, threatening to launch them back to the bottom. They never stopped for long, though, not for long enough that the rush passed them by. They wouldn't waste this. They would not.

Back up in one piece on the other side, Nem had run for the castle. Still shrouded in darkness, they paused, heeding a moment of sudden intuition, and rapped their wand (their original wand, having swapped the cherry for their usual elder) sharply on top of their head. When they were sure the Disillusionment Charm had worked, Nem sprinted onwards.

They found themselves, now, in the midst of another skirmish. Excellent.

Nem was ready to dive in once again, to fight, yes, still on the side of the Neo-Alliance. Probably. Maybe. At this point, they didn't really care, a fight was a fight. They stayed on the edges of the duelling at first, keeping half an eye out for stray spells to duck and dodge around, and looking for an opportunity. Plenty of those, as it turned out, but instead they fixed their sights on Bernadette Grantham. Looking slightly out of her depth, too. Couldn't have that.

They slipped through the hall, ending up by her side. "It's Nem," they murmured, reaching to grab her non-wand hand, ready to dodge away if she panicked or, for whatever reason, intentionally attacked. "Coming?" As in, out of here, right now. Nemesis Upstead was not done with Bernadette Grantham, and letting her Gryffindor her way into a battleground death was not on tonight's agenda.

Bernie was feeling her nervous heartbeat in her ears now. Just look at all these spells flying back and forth! Was that Avalon out there?! She had nearly raised her wand arm to join the fray, because OF COURSE she was going to join the fray, when... she felt someone grab her free hand.

She tensed up, of course, the fear and anxiety and general ball of nerves starting to show on her little face. Then, the words sank in.

Oh. Nem. Nem! NEMESIS UPSTEAD! They... what? What were they doing? Did she care?

Nah. Bernie led with her heart, not her head.

"Let's." She nodded to confirm, somehow looking right at the disillusioned Slytherin, and giving said hand a tug. Out the door for more adventures. Not these... stupid life and death ones. Hogwarts was beyond salvation at this point, in her mind.
