How were they supposed to get in any fun mischeif with them constandly watching over them...
"Oh stop pouting," Ari whispered over to Lex, "Everyone's at a little fault here..."
She winked over at Alexa before turing her attention back to the conversation...

Ok. Calm. Calm Brooklyn. Brooklyn is CALM. Right.
"Um," finally speaking up and feeling really stupid, she plowed on "it wasn't like they could just use magic. They're... underage, right?" she shoved her cat back into its cage and frowned. "Plus, it wasn't like any parents or legal kids were doing anything. What if the animals had
died or something?"

Kurumi didn't have time to raise an eyebrow thanks to more first years going bloody INSANE on the platform. See, THIS was why creatures were to remain in their cages until they were at least on the train if not until they were in their own respective common rooms. "Here is your cage," Kurumi said as she handed the owl cage back to the one first year with...Archer was it? "Please don't let him out again until we arrive at Hogwarts...and you are putting him in the Owlery." Yes, that was a request, but it was a little more than that.
As to the two who had just climbed back down...they better put their pets back in their cages too...but that should go without saying. Kurumi would ask for their names, but she had the feeling that at least one of them wouldn't give her a real answer, and instead made a mental note to pay extra close attention at the opening feast when they were sorted. All first year's names were announced before the Sorting Hat went on their head and, well, once she had those and what house they were in...she would be going to their Heads of House just to let them know that they had a handful coming.
Watch, most of them would end up in Gryffindor. Sigh.
"Alright, all creatures back in their cages please," Kurumi said, rubbing the bridge of her nose and pinching it now and again - a habit that had rubbed off on her from Lewis. "As punishment," which really wasn't punishment per say. "You all are going to help Selina put up missing posters for her Beater's bat. Put those climbing skills to good use ON the platform." No more train. Climbing benches and poles, fine...go do that and get it out of your system as long as it was for a good cause.
And Kurumi was going to ignore the one student saying that no one of age was doing anything...because Kurumi was of age...had been trying to help...and SOME people had decided to take things into their own hands and not listen. They would learn soon enough.
At least everyone was back on the ground and no one had broken their neck.
She just didn't see the point in all this. If they had let the animals run wild then they would have been scolded for losing control of their animals and when they decided to do the
right thing by saving little Archer they were scolded anyway. This is why she didn't trust anyone older than 11!!
Her eyes shifted across to Ari when she told her not to pout. She pulled in her lip immediately, not even realizing that she had been pouting in the first place--not that one could blame her. This as a pretty annoying situation. Her eyes went back to the older girls. She didn't want to end up in a house with either of them. She might have gone mad...or otherwise washed up on some beach in the middle of nowhere if she was to land in their house. That didn't sound like a very nice thing at all.
A small smile came to her face when Brooke came over and spoke what she had been itching to say...only thing is, just like Dylan, she had done it in a nice way. What was wrong with these guys and sugar coating stuff?! Still she did make a valuable point.
"Yeah, what if Felix had gotten to Archer, would you have been happy then?" She knew for a fact that at least the one who was supposed to be wearing a badge would have felt terrible if that happened.
She watched her handing Archer's cage to Ari then instructing her to put him in it. Her brows crinkled when she turned to her and Dylan and ordered them to cage their animals as well. She didn't want Felix in a cage and more importantly
Felix did not want to be put into a cage! Why couldn't this girl just understand that?
"PUNISHMENT?!?!?!?!?!??"
She didn't mean to blurt the word but she was still just shocked. Punishment?! Seriously?!
"For what?" They hadn't done anything wrong! And who was she to be giving punishments anyway? Hmph! Punishment for saving the day, now she knew why the world barely had superheroes anymore; they all must have run into her at some point in their career.
Oh...was that all...? Okay she would calm down. It didn't sound that bad. Fine. She would accept the
punishment without much more fussing, but only because she didn't want her to start giving some long lecture like thing that Lex often pretended to listen to. She sighed.
"Alright fine." She shifted Felix to her left hand then held out her right hand to receive the flyers. At least she would get to climb some more!
