"Honestly Professor, I stumbled upon Hufflepuffs sprawled all over the floor who were just as confused as I am." He shrugged. "Maybe you should come and investigate to see for yourself?" If she didn't believe it, she could come and see for herself, she was obviously a Puff since she knew about tapping the barrels.

"You can come and look for yourself like Ed said." Laura was sure the Professor didn't believe her.
Well they both seemed serious. But, if they'd been ejected and were, what was it Edmund had said? 'Sprawled all over the floor', then it must have been done with some force. And that certainly wasn't on. Isabelle most definitely had to go and see, and make sure whoever had done it was reprimanded. But it was the being locked out thing that confused her most. The common rooms were never locked during school times. And if they'd tapped the barrel and not been sprayed they must have done it right. So why weren't they opening?
Isabelle weighed all these thoughts up in her mind, brow still furrowed, before looking directly at Edmund and Laura.
"Right, we'll go down and find out what's wrong. It might be easily fixable. Come on." Although if this was some elaborate hoax designed for Professor Hadley, that Issy had walked into, Merlin help them all.

"Auntie Fina!" he said, while knocking, as a way of asking to come in. Sure, he wouldn't do that for any other professor. But this.. This was Aunt Faith. And this was them being locked out of their common room. His toad was in there! Not good.
Just as they were leaving, little Pao came running down the corridor shouting for Fina as well. Or rather 'Auntie Fina'. Interesting.
"Pao!" Issy called to him, waving her arm to get his attention.
"If you're here about the common room, I'm just going down to sort it out. Do you want to come with us or wait for Professor Hadley? I'm not sure if she's actually in..." Because she'd have come to see what the commotion was by now.
