James, for one, felt for the students. As each one entered with expressions of utmost disappointment, she wished she could have called in some kind of legitimate Quidditch celebrity favor for them. Even if that meant a few retired Arrows players from years ago to show up at the end as an extra consolation for showing up. But... there was business ahead. Still, once most of the students seemed to have settled in, she took the liberty to apologize as... she was likely the most apologetic of them all, really.

"Good day, students," she began reluctantly, uncrossing her arms to address them with sincerity. "It is with deep regret that I must say Quidditch star Colin Mackenzie of the Montrose Magpies unfortunately could not be here with us today," obviously, "for which we are immensely apologetic, but you won't go without a special treat!"

Maybe that was a little bit of a stretch.

"Today, we," she gestured to her fellow staff, "will be conducting a seminar on safety - what to do in potentially life-threatening situations, such as coming face-to-face with a dangerous creature, or what to do if confronted by a thieving goblin, and so on. To get an idea of what you may already know and what we might need to work on, we're going to start off with a little bit of a game." Or... sort of a game. Picking up a box of red and green circular objects, she explained, "I'll be coming around to distribute two buzzers, one green and one red to each of you - the staff will ask a series of questions to which you will either agree - indicated by the green buzzer - or disagree, the red one." As she delivered the buzzers to the students, she glanced back at her fellow staff members to take over.

She wasn't going to be the one to say what would happen if they answered incorrectly.
