Observant people may note that Garo looks quite tired and grumpy today. However, anybody that observant would've also realised a while ago that Garo usually looks tired and grumpy, so that's okay.

Currently, he's stalking around the entrance to Hogwarts, looking exceptionally cheesed off, half-heartedly going through sword forms. Botherable.

Garo watches Will, before peering around to find a face.

"I ain't seeing anything. Looks like a very big tree t'me."

"Good day, Lord Tree."

Will calls up and high above.

Kate placed a finger to her lips at Garo, and then looked up, waiting.

The tree doesn't respond.

Garo looks up, looking a little bemused. A moment later his head snaps around, peering at some of the denser roots suspiciously.

Will waits and takes Kate's hand as the air seems to shift and move.

She thought she heard a distant snap, and the pollen smell was getting stronger. Her free hand brought her bow as her grip on Will's clenched.

Garo looks increasingly agitated, one hand reaching to his back to grip his sword as he peers about.

Will sneezes as a flower blows pollen and spores into his face and he wobbles slightly.

Kate glanced at him, "Bless you, and steady."

Sounded like there was some movement, but from where?

"We shouldn't stick around here. Hasty retreat back to the castle, anyone?"

Will nods through his sneezes and holds Kate's hand.

Kate frowned at that, and gripped Will's hand.

"Right. Need an overview anyway." She started to turn around to walk away.

Garo starts meandering away from the tree, stopping abruptly when he hears a noise.

From amongst the roots, and then from amongst the buildings, Creepers start to stagger out, rustling across the ground and towards them, claws out.

Will's still sneezing and feeling strange but draws his sword ready to fight the Creepers,

"Garo, run!"

Kate immediately got between them, and grabbed some arrows from her quiver. She fired several, going in rapid succession.

"Let's get out of here! I'll cover you."

"I think," quietly, as more Creepers emerge. "We may be surrounded." Drawing his gun.

"Then we'll just fight our way out is all."

Kate nodded, and glanced around, "There's a subway entrance not from here. We could lose them there." She fired some more shots to keep the Creepers back.

"Sounds like as good a plan as any."

"Aye, ye lead the way." Will keeps his sword at the ready.

"All right, this way!" She yelled and started to run, trying to fire a path through the approaching Creepers that were looking ready to attack with their claws.

Garo follows, shooting at Creepers when they get too close.

Any that get within range, Will cuts down, discovering that cutting off their heads seems to stop them as he tries to not sneeze too much.

Her arrows slow some more down, and they were almost at the subway entrance.

"Down here! C'mon!" They can cut across town to the castle again that way.

Garo slows to a stop before reaching the subway entrance. The Creepers get a very thoughtful glance, and then the subway entrance gets a slightly hesitant glance.

He seems genuinely unsure of whether to run for the subway entrance or run towards the Creepers.
