Will looked at Ignatius with momentary horror -- Jai, being
slaughtered? Nooooo! -- before realizing it was a joke. Probably a joke, anyway. He laughed a little nervously.
"Well, I wish them no ill will. I just don't see why everyone seems to have their knickers in a bunch over this; once we get to the castle they'll straighten things out, I'm sure. The professors at Hogwarts have never let us down before..." Of course, they did somehow manage to allow a slew of students to be turned into animals, then use the OTHER students to turn them back... and there was that whole battle with the muggles... and he was quite sure one or two of the profs was clinically insane... Will shook his head, trying not to think too much on it. Surely they weren't going to enact some huge change without letting their parents know what the school environment would be!
"Do you think we should go try to help calm the students down and get them into the carriages, or just wait?" Personally, he favoured waited and seeing which way the wind was going to blow before committing himself to one side or the other of the conflict.
