Mikey took the first step off the staircase, his wand drawn and ready. His sleeve flapped a little where it had been ripped open five minutes before and his hand was still trembling from some combination of anger and fear.
There was a suspicious trail of red down the hallway they needed to take but no sign of anything moving, so he took another step forward. He listened next, picking up what he thought was the faint sound of shuffling coming from somewhere. Choosing not to give it too much thought, he looked back at his charges. Anything was better than the moaning that had seemed to be everywhere upstairs.
He waved with his other hand to signal the sixth years down, checking on his wounded as he did. There was one who was a little dizzy from a misguidedly swung chair and another who had reached out to touch the first of the house elves and received a nasty bite. They'd bandaged the second up between them, but he was pale and in need of support by one of the others.
The worst of the situation, however, was that he didn't really have a plan. The Gryffindor Common Room had sprung to mind as a destination but in the end had been too many floors up to fight their way to. The Great Hall, on the other hand, had been only two floors down. With the Dungeons and the Slytherin Common Room just an additional floor away. He was hoping they wouldn't have to go that far, though.
Swallowing and struggling for a less weary expression, he started to lead the children silently down the blood-stained hallway.
