The Second Battle Of The Grounds

"Are you as confused as me?" Holly whispered to Shadow.

Shadow shook her head slowly.

"Okay....you never are." Holly whispered, and raised her voice, "Need help Nerd?"

"NO!" Natalie yelled, "stay back."

"Yes ma'am." Holly called back, and moved slightly so she could watch properly, "Popcorn?"
She held a box out to Shadow.

Natalie gasped as the thing pinned her down by the neck, and after a split second, threw it off her body.

Shadow struggled to get to her feet, wanting to go and help Natalie.

"Don't be stupid." Holly said, and stood up herself, "Stay 'ere."

"AM I SPEAKING CHINESE OR SOMETHING!?! STAY THE HELL BACK!" Natalie yelled.

"I won't let you fight on your own or get hurt!" Shadow said, finally managing to get shakily to her feet.

Natalie cast a barrier between her fight with the thingy, and Holly and Shadow and whoever else is there.

Shadow hit out feebly at the barrier.

Natalie had the thing pinned to the ground, and bit it.
It began to scream...and then it exploded.

"Well THA was unexpected." Holly commented, seemingly more concerned about Shadow.

Shadow watched Natalie, concerned for her friend, while swaying slightly on the spot.

"So its dead then?" Holly clarified.

((Omg, i got purple nail polish, its A.W.E.S.O.M.E!))

"Dead...dorment...different things Holly," said Natalie.

"Well sor-ry." Holly muttered, "Now, would you mind if I went back to Hogwarts to help fight now?"
She sounded irritated.
