"Of course." You say with a determined look
Asmodeus grins and at the sight of you drawing your wand he does the same, as do all the others.
"Alright then let's go take a loo'"
Before Asmodeus can finish his words you all hear a girl scream and cry for help.
At the sound of this you all rush out into the hall and are met with a stampede of students running in the opposite direction of you. They all wear faces of terror and rush their ways past you in a panic, slamming the five of you against the wall.
"MONSTER!!!" One boy with a shirt that's been ripped to pieces shouts as he too runs past all of you.
Asmodeus and Phineas look at each other as if contemplating whether they should really go further.
The girl screams out again for help but is followed by a horrific inhuman howl that sends chills down your spine.
Morgana and Solomon rush forward beside you
"Are you ready for this?" Morgana asks you with a face courage.
"Are you insane? We're first years Morg! We don't even know how to cast spells! Besides we'll get into so much trouble if engage in whatever that thing is and one of us gets hurt for it. We need to go with the others and find an adult. Only an Idiot would go further. We need to be smart and get away while we can." Phineas's face grows serious. He doesn't seem frightened or at the very least he is hiding it very well. You sense he's coming from a place of pure logic and not cowardice.
Morgana does not back down however saying "Listen we are Pure-Bloods, we are more powerful than those cowardly mudbloods! Besides think about it, if we all take on this thing together with just basic casts and either kill it or drive it away, we'd be famous before even getting to Hogwarts!"
Phineas looks at her slack jawed. "You really are insane." He says in complete disbelief
You look to Solomon who rolls his eyes and Morganas reasoning but stands ready to go forth.
Asmodeus looks conflicted and doesn't know who to go with.
As this is discussion is going on you notice that the screaming has stopped. Its dead silent.
The others notice this as well and silence there bickering and turn their attention to the end of the hall.
A grotesque green scaly hand with long overgrown black nails grips the doorway to the cabin at the end of the hall. A thud rings out as it takes a step. You barely see the end of its foot. It almost looks like the foot of a giant bird. Yellow dry and shriveled skin tipped with razor sharp talons.
Once again the stone in your pocket begins glowing and gets hotter. It had cooled before in the silence but seems to be reactivating.
The time for action is now. Before the creature fully steps out.
What do you do?
