Fourth floor hallway

Farley passed by to get to the Hospital Wing. He had a jar of sand for some reason.

[AND GUESS WHAT'S INSIDE IT /shot]

"... The hell was that? ... Doesn't matter. Dark Arts? No, that's third. Transfig...? THAT WAS IT!" She spun around and started running for the stairs. Her pace slowed down upon remembering that not only was it on the bottom floor, but practically on the other side of the castle. She stopped running altogether. "Needs an elevator... Definitely..."

[[DERP ]]

Holly had made it this far down. Now, she was lost. People were running around everywhere. Some younger students were in pajamas, as it was night-time already and some had been woken up. Holly had, too, but she had enough decency to put on her uniform and haphazardly tie her hair back. But... with people running around, she had easily gotten separated from the rest of the Ravenclaws, and now she had no idea where she was going.

She rubbed her eyes sleepily. Shit. What's going on? she thought. "Selia?! JAKE? Eric? Fry?" she called out. Selia and Jake should be around here, seeing as they're Ravenclaws...

"HOLLY!"

It was Karin who was screeching at her, and she was running up to her.

"They've gone out to fight! You HAVE heard, right?"

"Heard what?!" Holly looked worried. "Th-they just came up to the Ravenclaw tower and told us to evacuate! I don't know what's going on!"

"You-Know-Who and his Death Eaters!" she exclaimed, trying to put on a calm face. "It-it's insane, isn't it?"

Holly, however, didn't bother putting on a poker face and broke down. "WHAT?! D-Death eaters? You-Know-Who? How'd they get in? Where's everyone else? How are you being so calm about this?"

"Chaos leads to calamity." she said, making that up on the spot. "We might as well try to stay calm. And personally, I have no idea." Karin began to turn towards the direction downstairs. "We better get going."

Not wanting to get lost, Holly clung to Karin's arm. "Where are we going, then? And, why are YOU coming to help me?"

"Downstairs, to safety. If you're of age, you can fight. And, well..." she trailed off, not saying another word.

Selia ran down some stairs. "Holly, Karin! I haven't seen anybody I've recognized, and this is so scary-- I don't want to die. I'm not even married to anyone, I haven't had any kids.." She was obviously not staying calm.

Karin turned to her. "Selia, if you're just going to freak out, kindly shut up, and follow us!"

"SELIA!" Holly let go of Karin, and threw her arms around Selia in a hug. "I'm glad you found us! I'm so worried! We have to find the others and make sure they're okay, too!"

"Hurry up you two!" she yelled. "We haven't got all night."

"I don't know where Jake, Fry, or Eric is. We need to find them, they're our friends." Selia said. "Have you seen them?"

Karin just stared at them. "Fry is looking for you two. Jake and Eric are probably with them."

"Holly, I don't know about this. What if somebody dies? What if a lot of us die? I think we should stay together."

"We have to find Fry. Karin, lead the way!" Holly grabbed Selia's sleeve, so they wouldn't drift apart.

Selia held on to Holly, too. "Choo, choo.." She mumbled to herself, trying to smile.

"There's no time for comic relief." And she stormed down to the Entrance Hall where Fry was.

"Inside joke."

"Or jokes."

"Come on, Karin. Loosen up. I'm going to go crazy if I don't laugh."

"...Oh just be quiet!"
