The Scarecrow Situation Finished

Reducio

@Euphrasia Millie | @River Dewlight | @Issac Ambrose

Alan was too busy being pecked into oblivion by the Owls surrounding him to realise they had flown off him, the sounds of the cat Honey hissing at the birds in attempts to scare them away, the young lad let out a sigh of relief as he could no longer feel the sharp beaks digging into his hands and fingers. Once he was clear of the birds the Ravenclaw boy looked towards his surroundings realising the students had gathered around into a small tight nit group around him. Alan's arms felt like they were on fire as he tried to push himself off the floor, blood sliding across his punctured tiny fingers, the boy appeared as rugged as your typical scarecrow.

Finally standing up, not wanting to hurt the Owls he said out loud to the students nearby rather nervously in his tone as he stuttered"T...thanks...f..fo..for coming..h...he..heh...b..but I'm really so..sorry for dra..dragging you all into this...o...one m..moment I b...bring out b...bread the next they swarm me...talk about rude" The Ravenclaw boy was still quite red-faced, embarrassed for causing the situation in the first place, his cheeks still bleeding from the snowy owls sharp tiny beak.

As Alan finished his sentence the mean snowy owl once more soared past his head, luckily the young lad crouched down in time as he watched the Ravenclaw girl River hit the ground hard, in a sheer panic he ran towards her seeing as wasn't moving from her fall. Unsure what to do in this situation all Alan could do was shake the unconscious girl shouting "N..no ti..time to be sleeping..y..you do..don't want..t..to get scratched!" The very same mean snowy Owl came back for another round in attempts to swoop in and attack Alan, seeing this coming he lowered himself and covered River with his robe as he called out to the group "H...How d..do we get out..o..of the..this...s..sho..should we t..try to make a r..run for a pr..professor?!" starting ramble in a panicky fashion "t..this g..girl isn't w..waking up!" Alan although tired used his arms to cover the unconscious girls face in particular from the Owls.

"T...thanks...f..fo..for coming..h...he..heh...b..but I'm really so..sorry for dra..dragging you all into this...o...one m..moment I b...bring out b...bread the next they swarm me...talk about rude."

"It's fine." Isaac said plainly to reassure the boy. "Those owls are bloody fools anyway." He sent a spiteful look towards a couple of the Snowies, that were still circling at a distance. His arch glare was reserved for the Snowy that had attacked the boy. His grey eyes met its yellow, and in them was a promise.

You aren't messing with anyone again, bird-brain.

He had no clue why Hogwarts allowed such savage birds to carry their mail, but he figured that it was just a strange wizard thing that he'd never understand.

It was then that he saw the same thing that the Ravenclaw boy saw. River was lying on the floor, completely unconscious. Her red hair fanned around her face, and her breathing was shallow. Beside her was the groaning body of an owl. In regret, he realized that it was one of the many owls that he had felled with his bookbag, in particular, the Barred Owl from before. It was in bad condition, twitching its wings and letting out tiny hoots. It was dazed, but still alive. Good thing.

Between the boy's small bleeding fingers and River's poor health, Isaac figured that he was right. This boy and River sorely needed a visit to the infirmary. The owls, well, someone would deal with the owls.

Going over to River and the Ravenclaw's side, he began to try to lift her up. They'd need to carry her over to the infirmary, considering she couldn't walk herself. He asked the boy, "If your hands aren't too injured, could you help?"

Honey had done it. She understood Russian, at least to a small extent, and complied to Millie's command. A rush of relief flew over Millie as she saw Honey protecting the Ravenclaw boy. Now that he was taken care of, the other birds needed to be calmed down. Millie just continued to dodge the birds until they began scratching.

Waiting patiently wasn't going to work, and Millie really wasn't a patient person either. Probably why she wasn't in Hufflepuff. However, just as her thoughts went away, so did the birds. Millie heard an ear-splitting scream entered her ear, a loud thump made her jump six feet in the air.

The red-headed Ravenclaw girl had collided with a bird and fell.  Her eyes had snapped closed, and Millie was certain she had blacked out.

"t..this g..girl isn't w..waking up!"

Millie flinched as another bird tried to nip at her. She slapped the bird as hard as she could, and it flew away. She hoped that the bird wouldn't come back more pissed.

The Gryffindor boy, Isaac, was already tending to the Ravenclaw girl. The Scarecrow-Totem Pole-boy was very, very bloody. Millie groaned when she realized her, and Isaac were the only ones who weren't terribly damaged. And Honey looked good too, everything could be solved, like a puzzle.

"If your hands aren't too injured, could you help?"

Millie stepped forward, and shook her head, she didn't want the boy who looked already feeble, to try and carry another human being. And, his hands were bloody. She didn't want the Ravenclaw girl to have blood on her robes.

"Please, allow me. I may be a girl, but I'm pretty strong."

Every chance Alan peeked his head up he found himself being swatted by the owls flying past, looking down on River whom he was protecting, he only turned his head towards Issac hearing the loud words of the Gryffindor boy. The Ravenclaw boy feeling rather guilty for dragging all these people into his mess he created, regretful of pulling the pieces of bread out the young lad realised he shouldn't be feeling like this now, shaking his head Alan quickly responded to the boy as he called out to him "M..m..my hands are f..f.f.ine..w..w..we nee..need to get her...o..outta here"

Still quite shaken and embarrassed by this whole situation, his hands rather bloody he quickly rubs it his small nimble hands onto his robes smearing the dark cloth with small bits of blood, biting his lip from the slight stinging sensation in doing so he looked towards Millie and quickly said "Q..quickly y..o..yo..you take her arm...I..I'll tak...take the other a..and keep the...this on he..her face" He pulled the hood on the unconscious girls robe to cover her face "W..w..we d..don't want her face hu...hurt y..y..yes?" The young boy voice still stuttering and shakey, seeing as Issac was doing his best to scare the birds he asked the Gryffindor lad "C..c..can you w..watch us?" Moving his cut hands towards Rivers arm he felt the stinging sensation again, dropping them immediately he blew on them to ease the pain before making an attempt to pull her up by her left arm.

On second thought, he agreed with Millie. Seeing the flecks of blood still dripping off of the boy's fingers, and hearing his tiny inhales as they stung, he realized that it was a downright cruel idea to make him carry River along. He himself needed help and a trip to the Infirmary.

Isaac felt a surge of concern for the kid. He was still stuttering on top of everything else, and carrying the dead-weight of another person would likely open up his cuts even more. He had only suggested the Ravenclaw help in the first place out of rashness, considering that his head was still spinning and adrenaline was rushing through his veins. Now that everything was calmer, he could see that it was a bad choice, especially when he and Millie were still intact.

"Please, allow me. I may be a girl, but I'm pretty strong."

He nodded at Millie in agreement, before the conversation was swayed into the boy's direction.

"Q..quickly y..o..yo..you take her arm...I..I'll tak...take the other a..and keep the...this on he..her face...C..c..can you w..watch us?"

It was a brave plan for certain, but not the brightest one.

Watch? Why would I just watch? What happens if everyone falls over...or he collapses all of a sudden? Do I keep watching?

He moved closer to River's prone figure on the floor. Her hooded face was uncanny, only showing the slightest bit of her mouth and a dangling strip of her red hair. In a moment of seriousness, he placed a light hand on the boy's shoulder as he bent down to lift her left arm.

"Hey, I get that you want to help her, but we can deal with this together." He gestured to the Ravenclaw's pecked hands, still bleeding from a thousand tiny stabs. "I don't want you getting hurt. Me and Millie'll lift River, and if we need help after that, you can pitch in. Deal?"

Laying there, unconcious on the floor, owls fluttering around still in total chaos, River’s breathing steadied. The young ravenclaw had moments of conciousness, or at least nearly. She could, every now and then, barely make out voices of the few students around her. Still, her brain would not make out who said what, or where they were standing. The sounds of the owls had left her ears, it was like they were wrapped in isolating bubble wrap.
From what she could make out, they were discussing who were going to carry her.
What? N-no one needs to carry me. I-I’m fine, really... she tried telling them. Still, without River realizing so, no sound made it out of her mouth. The words stayed as unspoken words of untrue strength. She didn’t want to seem weak, or helpless, because she wasn’t...

Her mind drifted off, making her feel like she was back to her normal self. She could feel her fingertips moving again, and her eyes opened, looking up into the blue sky up ahead. No one were around, did they leave me?
She sat up slowly, head aching slightly, from the earlier impact.

She looked around, the grounds looked like they always had, but it was way warmer than it had been that morning. Still, the sun, was strangely absent from the sky. Even though no clouds were disturbing the blue sky up in the warm atmosphere above. Am I dreaming? Perhaps I just died or something..?

I again, just want to clarify that River is simply dreaming/hallucinating, she is still laying in the same spot, unconcious. I just didn’t really know what to write, but still wanted to write something here

I'd be fine with moving, if ya'll feel finished in the owlery
