Cormac was still in surprise when the ropes shot out to bind the man. Her friend. She was tying up her friend. In a flash, the joke was over. The possibility it was some joke was over. It was real. She truly believed he was a demon. He didn't have time dwell on any of this, the impossibility of it all. He just pulled out his wand and levitated the bound man so he was resting against the wall and facing them. He could see the anger, feel the anger even in the room.
With the man facing them. he swung around to Lavender as he pulled out the crucifix she had given him and put it on, "Now what?" he asked, all serious.
