The poor Slytherin girl over there looked like she was near ready to have a full on panic attack or something while discussions happened around her.
When her back didn't feel like it was about to snap in two anymore, Lex slumped forward onto the table, arms crossed and her head resting on them. They were discussing business and one was giving Jun looks. A sure sign they should be hardly contributi--
Wait WHAT??? Lex shot right back up. Close the school?? Quarantine was one thing but but but, "We haven't had our Quidditch Match yet!! You can't close the school. Seriously?" NUH-UH!!!!! It wasn't FAIR that only Slytherin and Ravenclaw got to enjoy the season, not that she thought she could manage flying a broom at this point but it was the principle of the matter damnit!
"My symptoms started a week into the new school term." For the person that was wondering. "A few strands of grey hair that moved to locks and finally my entire head. I can't think of anything that's been different because no one's given us any free anythings this year. Everything's been surprizingly normal outside of us getting old."
Fixes, they needed them now. No school was one thing, staying home with Amanda and Jessa and missing a whole Quidditch season was another.

Or have been cursed with or whatever....
When the man who had answered his previous question helped him walk towards one of the chairs, the Gryffindor glared. "Oi! I may be old but i'm not stupid that i don't know how to walk, young man!" But when he sat down he let out a soft sigh as his body could finally relax a bit from the walking.
Closing the school. Although Kevin did not really like his Prefect he disliked everyone so no harm, he did have to agree with her. He wanted to see Gryffindor have a quidditch match as well! He'd never seen them play before and if they closed off the school......it was unfair! "Don't close the school! It's only my first year and i can't go back again?" Wasn't it funny how the boy who hated the school grew to like it and was now actually defending it? "My old age symptoms grew slowly and started in my first week here. I woke up one day and brushed my hair and found a few gray hair. Then over the weeks i started looking like this" he motioned to his own body.
Well if there was one thing nice about the discussion today is discovering that the students seem particularly passionate about keeping the school open. "Alright calm down, we didnt say we're going to close the school, it will only come to that if we find it absolutely necessary." he said as he looked to Rae. It will be her call after all. "Besides, if thats going to happen we'll have to come up with a way for all of you students to keep up with your studies. I'm pretty sure most of you wouldnt want to get held back from graduating or having to repeat a year."he glanced towards his fellow Governors. Yeah thats gonna be another problem they have to tackle on top of the epidemic.
He looked to the students who replied. All their symptoms occurred in the first week after school started. That supports both Rae's and Althea's statements that the afflicted are aging concurrently and that there doesnt seem to have any new cases within Hogwarts or cases being reported outside of it. "Maybe we can try to narrow it down a bit more...." he touches his brow thoughtfully as he turned to address the Aged Ones "Since you both had your symptoms appearing at the same time, can you recall if theres anything you have done similarly? Places you both been to? Items you both have had contact with? People? Creatures? Ghosts?" he added since he too was as curious about this new spectre as his colleagues were.
