That other had been a pretty easy non-buzzing situation, so she wasn't surprised that she didn't get zapped. This next one was a little harder though. She knew the answer should be the green buzzer, because all professors should have their best interest at heart, but she had seen the way a few of the ladyfolk had eyed some of her fellow students and she SWORE they were seeing red. She gave a knowing look at Lex and considered that maybe not every teacher was too keen on her general energetic and sometimes argumentative attitude, but she hoped that they would all rise above personal feelings and come to the aid of every single student ever, so she pressed the green button. If not because of accuracy, but to inspire good things. Like hey professors...this should be your example to live by. Green, green, green. SPOILER!!: Question Eight Quote:

Truly. I promise." Intentionally, at least.
One more. Probably. It would be painless. They could get through it. There was a light at the end of the tunnel.
As another one of those you know the right answer here, be good questions, James stated with a tone of finality, "I can help make Hogwarts a safe and happy home for everyone." Green button to agree, red button to disagree. Like she thought, that was the answer the wanted them to say. Even if some of the professors may not believe it themselves, not totally and completely anyway. There were still torture chambers in this castle, correct? So, soommmeone here must still not be on board with the fine and respectable treatment of students.
Moving on. This next one was a breeze. Of course everyone could contribute to make the school safe and happy. The students alone could pretty much overrun the school if they wanted and make it a horribly dangerous and wild place, should they choose, but not many people wanted that so they kept it pretty hunky dorey 'round these parts. She pressed the green buzzer and let a little yawn slip out. SPOILER!!: Question Nine- Auror Quote:

To recap, you can ALL make Hogwarts a safer place WHEN YOU apply the strategies we are trying to teach you today. Strategies such as NOT screaming, listening to your prefects, and trusting in your professors AND YOUR HEADMISTRESS to keep your best interests at heart."
She forced a tense smile onto her face. "Now then, children, let's talk about making Hogwarts a safer place together. When you are in a scary or dangerous situation, what should you do? We've just gone over some scenarios that will hopefully help you better analyze the situation and what to do when, but here's a helpful acronym for you to learn and apply."
The redhead pointed her wand at the board which had been hanging empty at the front of the room all lesson. Tidy blue block letters appeared on it, spelling out:
A lert the authorities
U se teamwork
R emain calm
O nly use magic IF NECESSARY
R emember where the exits are!
"Obviously it spells out AUROR, who are some of the best people around trained in combat and DEFENSIVE magic." She made certain to emphasize the word defensive here, especially for the 'courageous' Gryffindors in the room.
"Who can elaborate on this acronym and explain what each line really means? Put it into the context of how to handle.... say, some sort of magical creature getting loose from class, if you'd like." Just as an example. And poof! The cruel buzzers were wrong. She wondered if the other students' hands were hurting yet, or if it all just went away without any lingering sensations.
That acronym was pretty long and not exactly easy to remember, but the gist of it was simple. Although she thought explaining the entire thing was a bit much, she did so anyway. "Headmistress, I think they're each pretty easy to figure out. I mean, they're pretty spelled out and all." She meant no disrespect, but she couldn't really begin explaining without having said that - because it was how she felt and she didn't want people to think she was some big yuppy who just had no thoughts on the thing. "So, the first one means if there's a problem, you should tell an authority figure, like an adult or a prefect. The second line means you shouldn't run off to tackle some big problem on your own. Get some help for that stuff you know? The third line means you shouldn't let your emotions get the best of you. People tend to make bad decisions when they're all worked up, so you should stay calm and keep a cool head. The fourth line means, well, only use magic when you really really have to. And that's probably because we're all still students and it could go wrong, but...well I guess yes, only if you feel you must." Which she had felt before so...she'd used it. Ahem. "And the fifth line means...eh, know how to get out of the situation. Literally through a door or maybe even figuratively like not engaging in an issue or something like that." But still, sometimes if no one else was going to help you, you just had to do something about it, didn't you? She sat with her hands on her lap, wondering what weird long thing they'd have to try and learn next.
