"Yes, unfortunately we're going to have to leave much sooner. If you can help by starting to gather the students up, we're going to return to the school via Floo." If he could find an open fireplace.

The young badger was more than a bit distracted by the ongoings at the buffet to pay much attention to where she was walking. Thankfully she had Sabel to lead the way, and tugged him a little closer to keep from running into anyone. She didn't know where Tate was going to find a floo, but she didn't really care since they were leaving.
She kept hold of Sabel as they made it onto the dais, and it took her a moment to realize that they had to tell the other students and professors. But words didn't seem to come to her. All she could do was scan the dais for all the students.
