(Gai scans the hall's light and dark patches, can't find a torch, lights up the tip of his wand, takes something out of his pocket and clenches it in his fist, and runs full tilt for the other end. Since he's fast, he's through the Shrieker's patch of darkness before he knows it's there. It whips its tail around his ankle and his wand is extinguished as he crashes to the floor. Rolling out of the way as the Shrieker stabs down at him, Gai hurls an explosive cap against the wall, causing a brief flash of intense light. The Shrieker writhes, curling into itself like a shriveled ash, and Gai gives it a good hard Immobulous and sets it on fire. He comes out of the mess with a shredded leg-warmer, a bruised elbow, and a rueful resolve to do more tactical analysis before the next practical.)
