When Kate finally made it to the Great Hall, she was out of breath. She'd run all the way from the third floor corridor at full blast, not even bothering to stop or slow down at all. She'd had not one, not two, but THREE run-ins with the Acromantula. If the entire school was heading down to the Great Hall, then that's where she wanted to be, too.

She paused at the entrance to the Great Hall and took a few deep breaths. She had no idea if there was any organization to this, or if they just hung out waiting for somebody to tell them where to go. She was just about to start wandering around aimlessly, when she heard directions as clear as day.

GOOD. Just what she was looking for! Kate took another deep breath and walked to where her prefect was. "Thanks," she said, still out of breath but starting to breathe normally again. "I'll help you look for the others." There wasn't much else to do, but maybe they could at least get everybody organized and listen for somebody somewhere to shed some insight.

Kate was also wondering if she could go home, because she kind of wanted to.
