Re: Millicent, Nik, Slughorn, and Slytherin Students
This was going to be incredibly trying. It was a certainty from the moment Nikolas saw the notice of approaching attack.
It made sense that Nikolas and Millicent had been the ones assigned to deal with getting the Slytherin students out of the school. The other six Animagi had been sent off to their own Houses, as well. Yet Nikolas knew that, in the case of evacuating Slytherin, there was to be a whole set of chellenges that none of the other Houses would pose. Millicent's presence would be a boon - he knew she wouldn't take nonsense from anyone, and at this moment there were few others he would rather have by his side.
Nikolas was ticking off the many reasons why this was exactly what he didn't want to be doing right now when he a spied Millicent across the Common Room and walked over to her. He couldn't imagine this sort of calm in any of the other common rooms right now. The majority of Slytherin students seemed, at worse, irritated that they'd been called down from their rooms by Professor Slughorn. It was eerie.
Keeping his voice low, Nikolas drew close to Millicent. "I'm not really sure what the best way to go about this would be." Or if there's even a point. "Look at them. They don't want to be bothered with any of this."
