Skipping the Hogsmeade Trip (OPEN)

[Alenna Gavin]

Alenna followed Jeremy and Julia, who apperently found Nolan, being supported by Ethan and Lyra. "Is he alright?" she asked, immediatly after Jeremy. Nolan needed to get to the Hospital wing, but everyone was crowded together and packed tight. She didnt' know how they were going to get him upstairs...

[Ethan Drake]

Ethan was suddenly surrounded by Nolan's friends, though his eyes were in the crowd, looking for his sister.

"Lyra, can you find my sister?" He asked, realizing he had three other people to help him with Nolan now. "Meet me in the Hospital wing if we get seperated."

He was about to answer the three of them, though he didn't have much of an answer, when he felt the boy turn into dead weight. Nolan fell unconscious, and Ethan had to scramble to stop his body from falling to the floor.

[Julia Strobel]

Ju was closest, and when Nolan fell unconscious, she quickly stepped forward to help Ethan. "How're we getting to the Hospital wing?" Julia asked, looking around and trying to find an open path between all the kids.

[Lyra Newbury]

Lyra nodded as soon as he asked for his sister and she pushed back through the crowd toward Lilac's curly hair that seemed to be bobbing up and down in the crowd. She was gone before Nolan collapsed and was under the assumption that everything there would be fine.

"Lyla, Ethan's alright. He's taking Nolan up to the hospital wing so we're going to meet him there. It will just be easier to go just the two of us than to try to move with them." She pointed over to where Ethan and a slew of Nolan's friends had gathered. It was then that she realized Nolan must have collapsed, but it would bepointless to rush over there. What could she do that his friends couldn't? They needed to get to the hospital wing and make sure there was room for him.

[Rayne DiCostas]

Rayne held on to Evelyn a little tighter as even more chaos seemed to fill the Entrance Hall. She couldn't see what was going on, but she hated the loud noises and the sheer panic, and tugged on her friend's arm.

"Come on, Eves, let's see if we can wait in the Great Hall for a bit. We're not helping anything here."

[Jeremy Swift]

When Nolan collapsed, something clicked inside Jeremy. Instead of fainting himself, or having an asthma attack, he felt a sudden, strong urge to be strong for his friend. Normally, Nolan was the brave one. But Jeremy had been sorted into Gryffindor for a reason, hadn't he?

There was one thing he could do, and that was help clear the way so that Ethan and Julia could get Nolan up to the Hospital wing. "Len," he said turning to Alenna, "let's see if we can get these students to clear the way for Nolan."

[Alenna Gavin]

Alenna turned from Nolan to face Jeremy and nodded. "Okay," then she turned toward the crowd of students. "Hey guys," she said to the group of kids in front of her. "Can you move? We have to get our friend to the hospital wing..."

[Julia Strobel]

Julia was getting impatient. Nolan was unconscious and bleeding and he needed to get help from the hospital wing. Alenna and Jeremy were trying to get kids to move, but still, Ju was impatient. "Hey kid!" Julia yelled, making the kids infront of them jump. She pointed to Nolan and then toward the general direction of the hospital wing. "MOVE!"

[Lilac Drake]

Lilac really was such a slip of a thing she couldn't push crowds like Lyra did, although Lyra didn't look to be too big either, perhaps it was her persona. Lyla didn't have the strength to just push people out of the way though she was mightily tempted to. She heard her brother asking for help and that made things worse she would have thought that being so small she could get through the crowd but it wasn't the case, everyone was pushing everyone else and she got pushed herself.

One time she fell to the ground and with the bustle it was far too difficult to get up. She curled into a fetal position and tried not to get trampled but she was scared. Scared for whatever reason Ethan needed help, scared that she was going to be killed here in the common room because no one realized she was on the ground until somebody lifted her up. She couldn't tell who it was who had been so kind and who had noticed that she had fallen but she looked around for him and instead came face to face with Lyra who was telling her that Ethan was okay, Lilac could have slipped to the floor again in relief but Lyra was instructing her that they were to go to the hospital room and she nodded this time she didn't lack for pushing people back when they pushed her and she got behind Lyra knowing that the girl would likely be able to push through people better than herself but she'd quickly follow.

[Evelyn Turner]

Evelyn gave a second pleading look to Angelo before going with Rayne into the Great Hall. She was completely torn. Rayne was here and talking with her, concerned about her, and acting like a real friend again. But Rabastan. Rabastan was all she thought about these days. Her grades were slipping, she hadn't had a dream that didn't revolve around Rabastan in months, and the last twelve conversations she had outside of class all started with "Rabastan said that..." Evelyn couldn't not know that he was alright when every minute there were students arriving with new injuries.

"You're right. It's just getting too crowded and I really don't want to see anymore blood." She looked over her shoulder and saw a boy who had just fainted being carried toward the stairs.

[Angelo De Luca]

Angelo heard Evelyn, and watched her being dragged with another girl from his house named Rayne. Of course he would help her. He would help anyone if he could. It definately helped him to have a mission. He wasn't sure where to start, but Angelo thought heading toward the incoming Hogwarts students was a better bet. Finding out if he was hurt or if he was dead would be more productive then searching the castle.

Being safe and not knowing quite yet versus dying because you didn't have enough help was not competition. Angelo set off.
