I’ll have one send a <span class="mu-i">Patronus</span> to Timothy. I have to check something out by the front gates.”, you said while suppressing a slight growl in your voice. Got a slight tug on your hand even as you felt your eyes turning an even lighter blue and knew they would be almost glowing.
“W-what? Is? Is something going on? Like before? No… I have to be strong for him; please have them send something to Tim. But? I am coming. I have to be brave and tough for him, learn how to be, since he always was for me. I have to keep him safe now. Be strong. Mean sometimes. I <span class="mu-i">have[/] to learn.”, the tiny girl almost shouted out and pulled her new helmet off to reveal short ruby red hair.
“I don’t think it is like that exactly but Aubrey would be ashamed if I didn’t follow my instincts. I have to protect our home. You. And you will run after me, won’t you? No matter what, unless I stun you or knock you out. Right?”
“Yes, Ma’am. Coach. I will. But? As long as I know he is safe for now? I have to make Horned Serpent proud. Make him proud. You. All my new friends.”, the kind of soft-spoken child said but with goblin silver in her voice.
“Fine. You will stay behind me, stay close. Protect yourself first if anything bad is happening. If I have to turn all the way? If it is like that? You <span class="mu-s">will</span> be running as fast as you can to the main Castle; find a Caretaker, Professor, Pukwudgie, an older student; anyone. I can last for that long at least. Am I clear?”, you said while boring into her with your blue and yellow flecked eyes while downing a couple of bitter purple Wolfsbane potions just in case to a nod from the little girl. “If you see it, the change is not pretty. I’m sorry but I will not hurt you. I promise. But? You are taking my gun. The magazine with a stripe along it has the silver cored bullets if anything happens.”
“Yes, Coach. Miss Anna-Beth. I’m not afraid of you. I’m sorry, though. I have read it hurts. To turn. And… I don’t want you to hurt. To kill you.”
“It is fine. I am used to my skin changing. But? If I stop being human, I want it that way. To… I shouldn’t say this to a little kid. But? I want to die as me. Not as something else. I am sorry but if you really want to come? You have to accept that possibility. There are extra Wolfsbane potions in my pouch if it happens and I scratch you. Drink all you can stomach. I am okay with what I am but do not wish it on anyone else. But… SUNNY! GABRIEL!”, you howled out. “Grab our things, get players off the pitch until I send up blue sparks! Message to Timothy Mason in Thunderbird to stay in! And grab the girl’s hard pads for her!”
“Sure, Captain!”
“Got it, boss!”</span>
