The weapon might have been his birthday gift that he was willing to trade for our delicious treat. We won't know if we jump to conclusions and call in the joy-killers." Besides, the moment you alerted an adult, you stood to lose whatever valuables you could have lifted.

And another thing. When would you get time to CALMLY go find an adult?? They were the hardest things to find when you weren't in trouble and actually needed them. Press. Press. Press. Press. Was there a rule against how many times one could press these. Press. Press. Press. Press. GIGGLE.
Regardless of explanation... the button glowed RED and then, ZAP!'d her hand.

ZAP! ZAP! ZAP! ZAP! Every single time. ZAP! ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!

...

Any more?

So back to the button thing, green was no....right? Hitting the red button she beamed at the headmistress. She really should have been paying attention more when the headmistress explained it once again....
The ZAP! to her hand wasn't nearly as nice as how the button glowed RED.

Ohhh, so close. That had to hurt.

"The Armed Creature would not give you the time to calmly summon an adult if it was smart and you did not say it was dumb."

Though she did not say it was smart either. But Nigel was disagreeing to all answers. So this suited his argument.

Nigel pressed the red button. The first of many presses.
Outsmarting the question wouldn't work. ZAP! Right up the lad's hand. Was the pretty RED glow of the button worth it?

Sky's hand came down on her green buzzer with a flourish. And no explanation needed, so she just sat there, shaking her head at those that had hit the red button.
Finally! The button lit up to a brilliant green! No zaps for you.

He sighed the heavy sigh of the martyr. "Unless you're alone and in absolute danger in the moment, seeking out assistance from a professional is safest."
Look-y here! The button lit up to a brilliant green! Well done, smarty pants.

"Well, yes, you should find the assistance of an adult. But, if there are none near you, what I would do is at least get two of my classmates, or anyone else nearby. One would stay with me just so I can have a backup if something went bad. And the other classmate can find an adult." Like a buddy system and a rescue mission, yes?

So, very carefully Tag pushed his finger upon the green button. There!
Common sense has it's rewards. The button lit up to a brilliant green!

"I'd say if you weren't able to get to a Professor or adult Wizard first help others and try to protect people...and still if you were able to then you should get to a Professor or adult before attacking said Armed creature."
Outsmarting the buttons wasn't going to work either.

The green button lit up to a brilliant green! While the red button glowed RED and gave a sudden ZAP! to her hand.

She wanted to know what ALL THE BUTTONS did.

Alice considered her options for a moment and then pushed down hard on both of them.

What happened now?
The buttons didn't like that. The green button lit up to a brilliant green! While the red button glowed a marvelous RED before it-

ZAP!'d her hand! Ouch.

He didn't bother justifying his response, what was the point? Quidditch was life, this was just about pesky Goblins.
Slow and steady won the race huh? So did moody and quiet it seemed. The button lit up to a brilliant green! Lucky duck.

Getting an adult would be the most logical and right thing to do but Professors or adults were always hard to find during a dangerous situation, you could call out or if you were skilled enough handle the situation yourself. She knew if her godmother was here she would freak about her pressing the red button and would probably drag her to some of her MLE friends, yeah she would get in trouble. Though she had pressed the green one too.
Nope, it wasn't going to work! The red button was quick to glow a superb RED and gave a ZAP! Right up the girl's hand.

Lucky for her, the green button lit up to a brilliant green!

Smart choice! The button lit up to a brilliant green! No zaps for yoouu!

Oh snap, she just DIDN'T wanna know at all. And they weren't really required to make an explanation right? Yeah, she'll just do that. Keep quiet and wait for stuff to happen. 'Tis all.
The button lit up to a brilliant green! Excellent choice.



It was incredibly unfortunate that their previous plans for today's seminar had to be cancelled. Simply awful! Even more so that she couldn't make a quick trip to the kitchens for some ice cream before the seminar started. She hadn't had any in like...A DAY! She was becoming fidgety!

Twitch. Oh, a zap. Twitch. Another zap. Twitch. GOODNESS why were the students pressing red?? That Alexa Cambridge...

"Don't think too far into the question, you guys!" she spoke up suddenly before recoiling slightly and clearing her throat quietly with a glance to the Headmistress. Ahem. "The correct answer is, if you find an armed creature attacking the school, you are to calmly find the nearest professor. I know ve all vont to defend our classmates and save the day, however... ve can't very vell keep everyone safe ven you're all running tovards danger. You do not engage vith the creature...unless absolutely inevitably necessary to escape. You find a professor and then stay in your common room unless stated othervise. There's no "but"'s vith this."

They got that, right? Fidget. "Alright, let's try a simpler statement:

"When in a stressful situation, it will help if I scream. Loudly. And repeatedly."

Finger twitch. "Remember. Green to agree, and red to disagree." Just so they knew. Again.
