He and Basil were here to protect their students, although they weren't going to intervene unless it was absolutely necessary; the professors wouldn't be out there in the real world to protect them, although most of their students wouldn't ever come in contact with dangerous creatures. However, this seemed like the perfect time to ensure that none of them winded up in the nurse's office.

Gus wasn't entirely sure which one of the group was afraid of dementors, a topic they had covered as OWL students, but he wasn't surprised to learn that someone was petrified on them. Mr. Hunter did his best to cast the spell, although Gus wasn't surprised to see that it failed; it was something they hadn't covered yet, and most, if not all of the NEWT students walked away from Hogwarts without ever having cast a fully corporeal one. Still, a bit of pride swelled in his chest seeing one of his students react to quickly.

"Riddikulus!" Gus cast the spell right at the creature, and before it could transform into his fear, the dark folds of the dementor curled into a balloon, complete with a smiley face on it. It bobbed in place in front of them. He eyed the group of students. "Can you one of you transfigure me a box, preferably with a lid."
