"Hello Professor, I'm not late for a speech or anything am I?" Oakey nodded to the Head of House as he claimed a sleeping bag next to Ella. He sat there for only a moment until he jumped up again! "I still need to dry off!" He said, plus he still smelled liked mashed potatoes.
Ella was waiting from a reply from a very worried looking Hadley when Oakey strolled over and sat down next to her. She turned to greet him and her green eyes grew wide when she noticed he was soaking wet...HUH?
"Oakey I..." Sniff.Sniff.
"What's that smell...and why are you wet?" Strange...even for Oakey.
SPOILER!!: Hadley

Well technically even non-family were family, but Pao was blood-family. And he was not here.
"Yes," she said quietly, "But ..." Before she could add on some stipulations, others spoke.
What caused the lockouts? How could she possible know THAT when she only just found out they were locked out about ten minutes ago? "If I knew why you were locked out, then I doubt the sleeping quarters would've have been needed to be arranged in the Great Hall, eh?" Fina admitted.
Her alright? OF course she was alright? Why wouldn't she be? Her office was mostly unscathed, as was her classroom, even with the bit of flooding experienced earlier that year. "I'm fine..." she nodded. And then Nessie offered to go look for those who were missing and lost around the school. Well it would probably be better if Ella went with Ness, considering Ness had a badge.
Ah good, her Prefect seemed more awake now, though slightly weary, which she supposed was understandable.... "Lewis is fine maybe, but Logan ... Pao ... he's young. He's small."
Before she could continue or assign duties or anything, she turned around to find herself face-to-face with a soaking, dripping wet Oakey. Only Oakey could find himself soaked in water when the flooding had receded. "No, not late, I just arrived myself a few moments ago, but .... why in the name of Wenlock are you so wet?"
And then Minnie offered to help search for missing, straggling students as well. "I'm not sure I really think three of you wandering around the school will be such a good idea. Ness and Ella? You two can go and look for those missing or lost..." Since then asked about it first. "Minerva, since you're awake, you can keep help keep an eye on the sleeping quarters. Comfort and make sure your peers don't wander off." Along with Belle, of course, but as Belle was Prefect, that was sort of obvious for her, she hoped.
Yes? So Hadley did want her to go search for Pao? Ella nodded, waiting to her what the
but was though it never came as lots of other people were suddenly talking to their Head of House. Not surprising really, as no one really knew what was going on. The third year just listened quietly, waiting to figure out where she was needed.
SNORT. Ella had to do everything in her power not to laugh at Hadley's reaction to Oakey's appearance. She just shook her head, a small smile on her face.
Oh, assignments..right.
"Yes Professor?" Ella answered when her name was called.
"I...okay. We can do that." And the third year looked from Hadley to Ness, biting her lip.
"Where should we start?" She asked more quietly to the red head, wondering where they should go first.
