*Wesley only half notices Snape's decision, engaged in combat as he is with the gluttonous shades. There are five of them now, and the only saving grace for Wes is that they're having the same bizarre difficulty with their motor skills that he is. He has become an accomplished fighter, and if he weren't impaired he would be having no problem whatsoever. As it is, he's managing to hold his own but he does have to keep shaking zealous shades off his tooth where they've bitten and won't let go.*
