In fact the only fish I eat is the fish I caught myself and seasoned my self. Yet I have only tried trout so I don't know about other fish" Fishing with the family was awesome and the eating it that night was also awesome. "Oh dear" Sarah exclaimed.
Waiting for the Fat Lady to hopefully give them some helpful information Leo turned to Sarah.
"I think you might be on to something about the wonky charms." It could be one reason why the student’s had been evicted from their common room but he had a feeling that the problem were more complex than just wonky charms.
"You do? Well eating fish is good for you and it’s rumored that eating fish makes you smarter. I advice you to not fish in the lake on the grounds. I did that last term and I got a stomach bug to show for it." Not one of Leo’s finer moments at Hogwarts, luckily though Cecelia had cured him without too much effort.

He shuffled a little closer to the Librarian. "Sooo...what? Something is evicting the students from their common rooms to steal their stuff?" That seemed a little drastic. Or unless whatever it was, was looking for something in particular. But then why would it bother stealing a fishing pole?
"What does the Fat Lady have to say about this?" She was the one who let them enter the room after all.
"On second thought, I think its better that we alert the Headmistress first about the lock out since she needs to make urgent sleeping arrangements." Pulling out his own wand Leo non-verbally uttered 'Expecto Patronum' and from the tip of his wand a silver hawk hovered in mid air for a moment in front of the librarian before it flew off with its message to the headmistress.
As Sebastian shuffled closer Leo shrugged.
"Maybe, I don’t know? Until we can unlock the common rooms and go in and inspect we can’t be sure if any student belongings have been stolen. Who knows maybe I’m the only one in the whole castle that has been robbed." That idea was highly disturbing but possible.

Maybe if he'd lost something due to the recent mysterious events he'd understand but as things stood he was possibly clueless as to how she felt.
Grown ups.
"I don't think it could've been the ghost either Sir." She'd never seen the ghost steal candy before so it couldn't have been them. "But then...does this mean there's something else moving around the castle, locking people out?" Trying to gather them for one big feast...O___O
She was not food and didn't like to think that anything thought of her that way...
Ah hah! So he lost his fishing pole. how does that feel Mr. Doesn't Care About Candy??? STARE.
Leo turned from the groundskeeper to Alexa and said.
"Let’s not jump to conclusions. I’m sure your candy is safe in your dorm. The common rooms are probably locked because of some charms that have gone wonky. Let’s stay calm, okay?" Now stop thinking up horror theories with big monsters being in the castle. It helped nobody and would only raise hysteria.

"Good evening to you!" She gave a wave of her hand towards the students around before speaking again.
"Why, Mister Kitridge! My lions know better than to say the password while snakes are around!" In case he didn't see them, she pointed at the two of them.
"I don't evict, I only emit." She yawned once more. This time out of boredom. All she wanted was gossip.
And she was sure the other portraits were going to be gossiping about her after today! Having two men visiting her portrait at once? What was the special occasion?
The Fat Lady watched curiously as the two men spoke, leaning forward to hear what they were saying. And still, gossip that she didn't want to hear about. Thieves, ghosts! She continued to miss the entire point of students being evicted from their common rooms. "Thieves, you say?! Don't let them take me!" She stood from her seat and cowardly hid behind her chair.
That was what she had to say.
Leo quickly turned to face the Fat lady’s portrait when she finally spoke to them. It was apparent right away that the Fat Lady had no knowledge of what was going on and hadn’t been involved in the eviction.
"Mrs Fat Lady how come you haven’t let the lions back in? They’ve must have given you the password before the snakes arrived?" Glancing over at Sarah and Alexa he waited for confirmation that was what they had done.
It couldn’t be as simple as the portrait wanting to keep the lion common room protected and had thus in the presence of snakes not emitted anyone back into the cr? But that didn’t explain why the students had been evicted in the first place. Hmm.
"Nobody is going to steal you Mrs Fat Lady. Would you like me to ask the headmistress for a body guard for you until we solve this crisis?" Leo tried to sooth the portrait who in fright tried to hide behind a chair.
