The spider he had set on fire finally managed to put the flames out by rolling, and was approaching again - looking much more angry... and a lot less hairy. Don could see the burn marks on its massive legs. The creature must have been in pain, but its response was increased aggression rather than flight.
Luckily, the Australian boy knew a more suitable spell, possibly designed specifically for spiders. He sent one of the Acromantulas flying backward into a tree with it, and Don wasted no time in imitating the tactic. "Arania Exumai!" he enunciated, trying to repeat the incantation Calvin had used. A white flash of light hit the singed monster that was getting ready to attack, knocking it into the bushes.
That left three more spiders, but at least the two of them weren't outnumbered quite as badly anymore.

Calvin's brain had started to work double time. The spell alone would only render them unconscious momentarily giving them thinking time. " Okay. " He stated as his eyes started glancing around them. There had to be a tactical way around this aside from freezing in place and accepting death. It turned out this may not be an option unfortunately. " Okay so, if we die, let's hope it's a painless death. " He stated hoping to put a silver lining to things.
He pointed his wand again at one of the spider with two spells in mind. "Aguamenti!" He called out as a jet stream blasted from the tip of his wand as he attempted to drown the spider in water. " Well let's hope they can't breathe under water! " His through process was interesting to say the least but there was a method to the madness. He flourished his wand back and observed the now soaking wet, very angry and very much alive spider.
"Glacius." He now called out as the spider turned into a spider popsicle. Even Calvin was surprised with just how potent his magic was with this spell. The spider now encompassed in ice meant that it no longer could move. " Well now we have only a few more to deal with. Any ideas?" He asked before looking over to Don hoping he'd come up with an idea.
Glancing back at the spiders, he failed to notice that one had swiped toward him causing his robe to tear around the arm and blood to seep out. The every brace Calvin hid the torment of pain and anguish on his face as he physically punched the spider back before taking a few steps back. " Dang it. This was a new robe too. " He replied as he pointed his wand at the spider. "Sectemsempra!" He called out as two silver slashes caused the spider to be split directly in the middle causing it's orangs, blood and all sorts of things to come dropping to the ground.

His thoughts centered on survival, Don didn't want to consider Calvin's hopes of having a painless death. And in any case, the spiders looked pretty violent and hungry. "Doubt it. Better not let them kill you," he suggested. "I think they paralyse you, then suck out your insides." Or something like that. He'd seen empty shells of insects stuck in spiderwebs, and figured that Acromantulas had to eat in a similar fashion - despite their massive size.
Rendering a spider soaking wet was an odd strategy, causing Don to glance at the Ravenclaw boy questioningly. The Freezing Spell explained it, though - it was a pretty good strategy after all.
"Well now we have only a few more to deal with. Any ideas?"
"Yeah, we keep casting until all of them are down, then we run," he laid out the plan, eyeing a spider that was creeping closer. The creature raised its front legs for an attack just as another one attacked Calvin. "Petrificus Totalus!" The curse didn't have quite as potent an effect as it usually did on humans. The spider did freeze in place, but Don could see it twitching, as though it was trying to break free. "Incarcerous!" A set of ropes shot out of his wand, wrapping around the spider and further reducing its mobility.
"Sectemsempra!"
Whatever the spell was, its effects were gruesome. Don took in the damage it had caused. This was Dark magic, even he could recognise that. "Right. Let's go before more of them come," he urged, turning to move towards the castle. "Where did you learn that last spell?"

" You have a way with words McEvoy." He responded glaring at the boy as he felt the fear run through his body once more listening to how their imminent deaths might play out. It didn't help that Calvin was already frightened of spiders either. " Nice spidey, I don't taste nice. Aussie flesh is nothing compared to McEvoy Burgers." He responded hoping the spider would focus purely on Don rather than him.
Calvin watched as Don made quick work of the remaining spiders before he looked back at now tied up spider on the floor. " Okay so now we run?" He asked looking back and noticing Don already making a move back toward the Castle. " WAIT FOR ME!" He yelled as he began running behind him in the process, dropping his wand as he left.
"WAIT!" He said rather screamed out loud. " I think I dropped my wand!" He called out as he turned around and began scanning the floor.. He knew his search for his wand could either end in a rather gruesome death or a splendid victory. His mind now focusing on what Don was saying. "Basic Healing. Professor Collins mentioned it." He replied not really thinking too much of it. " Why? It's just a dark arts spell." He responded shrugging his shoulders.

Don groaned in exasperation when he heard Calvin complain about having dropped his wand. He stopped, quite unwillingly, and walked back as part of him wondered where his Slytherin self-preservation instincts were. "Not a good time to be clumsy," he noted. More spiders could come in a... pack? flock? swarm? Whatever. Lots of them might come to look for the fallen comrades, and Don didn't want to be here when they arrived. "Lumos." The bright light from his wand was almost painful after spending so much time in this dim environment. He blinked a few times to get used to it before starting to scan the forest floor for Calvin's wand. Looking for a thin piece of wood on the ground filled with twigs and broken branches... this was going to take ages.
"Just a Dark Arts spell," he repeated, half-distracted by the search. "I bet Collins didn't actually teach you how to use it, though." No such spells were taught at Hogwarts, it was against the rules.

The fact that they were in a dark forest where even sunlight sometimes couldn't penetrate through the canopy leaves above them didn't exactly help when finding a piece of thin wood that almost blended in with every other stick on the ground. " Thank you. " He responded as he dropped to the ground and started patting the floor in multiple areas with both his hands and at one point, his body as he began rolling about. " Maybe if I roll around, I'll feel my wand. " He said as he rolled back and forth over a small patch of sticks hoping to locate his wand.
" Well, he didn't exactly teach it. " He responded as he sat up right, his hair covered in leaves, twigs and dirt. " He told us not to practise it as it's quite dark and dangerous. Naturally, I found interest in learning the spell. Could be useful and it seemed like it was useful. " He said making reference to his attempt at the spell on the giant spider just before.
" Place your hand on the ground, you'll know when you find my wand. " He added leaving nothing else to his sentence but knowing exactly how Don would be able to help with locating his wand.

"Naturally, I found interest in learning the spell."
The Australian boy was such an oddball. Who found interest in Dark Arts naturally? Well, some blood purist freaks, of course. But not nice people like Calvin, usually. Don shook his head, unwilling to press the matter further - at least not before they got back to safety.
Following the Ravenclaw's directions, he began to search for the wand by moving his hand along the ground. It was weird, but he'd just seen Calvin try to locate it by rolling around - so maybe there was something to it. Either that, or he was following a madman's advice--
Zap.
Don withdrew his hand hurriedly, startled by the sudden burst of electricity. He reached out again towards the same spot, more carefully this time. His eyes spotted the wand before his fingers touched it again. The current it sent through his skin seemed less painful now that he was expecting it. The fourth-year managed to pick up the wand, clenching his jaw at the strong tingling sensation. "Found it-- here, take it," he said, offering it to Calvin. "How did you make it send electric shocks like that?" This seemed like a good way to prank someone.

Multiple groans of relaxation escaped his mouth as he continued to roll about the floor hearing the cracks echoing as his body and spine adjusted from rolling on the uneven Earth. “ You know… “ He stated casually holding a conversation with Don as he rolled about on the ground. “ This feels like a massage it’s kinda relaxing. “ He said as he came to a stop and began dusting off the leaves, earth and. Sticks that now found a nest in his clothing and hair.
He watched with amusement as he finally saw Don locating his wand. His African Mermaid Hair wand playing to its strength allowing a zap of electricity to run through Don. At least that’s what he had assumed seeing Don withdraw his wand. “ Ahh you found it!” He said taking hold of his wand and kissing it gently.” Come back to Daddy Calvy “. He whispered before tucking it away into his pocket. “ African Mermaid Hair. Unique isn’t it? “
