"I agree," the redhead said. "Last term was such a tragedy, really, between losing that valuable plant..." she trailed off with memories of the gorgeous, exotic gift she had initially thought was from Ethan... its silky green leaves... friendly, long vines... bright pink flowers... oh and who could forget that heavenly scent? But to finish her sentence, "...and losing two of our staff members. What a shame."
She let out a fake sigh and then snapped back to business, folding her hands crisply on the desk. "So how do we fix it? What else can we - you and I, potentially as the administrators of this school - do to increase the safety of our students and to decrease the occurrence of these weird semi-annual events?"
"Yes... a tragedy..." that was a god word, a sad word, but an appropriate one. After all the death and all the destruction she'd seen in her time, particularly in her area, this was something high on her list of priorities.
Seren had been expecting the next question, it was the most logical way to proceed. How could
they, fix this.
"Well, see... I've been thinking. I know it's practical for staff to patrol the corridors at night, but our efforts are largely expended on ensuring students aren't doing the wrong thing, and less so on other possible threats..." the ones that seem to just blend in to the untrained eye.
"Perhaps, depending on the schools budget and additional funding, we could acquire security personnel. Someone who is trained for the job."
Casually raising her teacup to her lips, she took a quick swig.
"That aside, it probably wouldn't hurt to get someone to look into this.. curse thing, whatever it is. The number of incidents that occur at Hogwarts is not normal.." at all...
"A historical inquiry might be of use... and if it's planned right, then the students could also learn a thing or two in the process."
