THe impression I got was that they may have tried to tag-team, but Hydra went down fast, leaving Justin to defend her.
I am waiting on tenterhooks for commentary after class today, damnit. I suspect the kids will be bewildered that Dolohov isn't all HOW DARE YOU OPPOSE ME about it, as he clearly isn't... :}
Yeah, but then someone said later that she tried to hex Doholov again, so I'm not sure.
Yes. Want. --and, I mean, I think they know he wouldn't be that obvious, or at least Sally-Anne does, but I think at this point anything he does is going to throw them, because they're half-expecting Something Horrible To Happen (or at least that's my read).
I'm kind of wondering whether or not he's going to draw them aside and say something (and if so, what?), or have the lecture go in the direction of dueling technique somehow (in such a way that is 'these are some of the things you were doing wrong', as followup to his remarks re: Justin), or he will just pretend nothing happened at all.
(And yeah, he doesn't seem to be. I get the impression from his dialogue with Barty that he was all WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON ARE THESE MY STUDENTS AND IF SO WHAT THE HELL (probably not in those terms, I can't do his voice at all, but you get the general idea) for a while there, but I think with Arista and Hector as the reason it's more settled.)
Yeah, the "the other shoe, it's coming for me" feeling is pretty clear, particularly from Sally-Anne.
I was joking to someone last night about how it would be hilarious if Dolohov plopped himself down in front of the class and was all, "Okay, let's bounce some ideas around about ... battle strategy! Say you wanted to invade the Department of Mysteries, what would you do?"
Or, more subtly, "You are trying to extract hostages from enemy hands. How do you handle the unexpected arrival of the guards?"
I'll have you know that made me burst into laughter. And then quote it to someone else.
Anyway, the latter would be more subtle, but he would have a perfectly good excuse for the former (he was just in a fight in the DoM, and his mind is on the topic), if he actually wanted to. Probably wouldn't make the best discussion for a class, though, as I think no one's supposed to know what it looks like inside.
(I'm guessing they're in classes at the moment, and thus the silence? Or do I have my time-frames the wrong way around again?)
Yeah, you and me both. I mean, I wasn't really expecting anything like the scenario's that have been jokingly proposed, but I expected something, at least.
I don't know maybe it's just the last few days, but I keep feeling like something is about to happen.

Or something.
(Damnit, waiting for commentary.)
