A plant was involved in the DEATH of her creatures?

If it wasn't Hogwarts, Vanora would have had a very, VERY difficult time believing that. But it was the castle, and they were her creatures, plus, she was desperate to find out what really happened to them all. How could they just die like that!? So, once the groundskeeper's patronus disappeared from off her shoulder, she made sure her little coati was safe in her office, with extra charms placed around her, before leaving the hut.

She felt really bad for the groundskeeper. At least she knew what happened to her creatures, well, she knew that they were no longer with her, but he had no idea what happened, or was happening to his.

Practically running, the creatures professor finally made it to the playground, only to stop when she was standing next to Sebastian. She offered the man a condoling smile, albeit not a very good one. "So, where do we look first?" If it was a creature killing plant, she would guess the forbidden forest. She then noticed the two girls in the playground as well and she raised her eyebrows. "Did anyone see what it looked like?"

Otherwise, they would be inspecting every blade of grass.
