"Yes, Professor,'' she told Finch as he led her out. Still clinging to his hand, she thought of the last few words Ursula said. They were ringing in her ear continuously. "Professor Finch? Do you-'' Rachel hesitated, wondering if she was being silly for thinking so much about Ursula's words. "Do you really think that something could happen on the next full moon? She implied that something would with the youngest and weakest first. That could mean first years.'' The girl was slightly worried now.

"Thanks for the advice!" he said cheerfully as he started to lead the young Ravenclaw out of there. "We'll keep that in mind." Or not, but he saw no sense in arguing. Ansley already saw where that got him with her - more predictions of gloom and doom.
Once they were out in the corridor, he looked down at the girl as she questioned him. "If you're asking me if I really believe what she says, I'd have to say no. It seems to me that people sometimes say outlandish things to get a lot of attention... and it seems to be working in Madame Black's case. I'm not sure why her approach is to shock people, but maybe it's to try to get people interested in Divination and come to her class." Who could say, really? But she was causing quite a buzz around the castle and he would guess even students who didn't normally take Divination might go to her class just to see what it was all about, or if she would offer any more crazy predictions.
Maybe he should pull some crazy stunt like that to draw more interest into his class.
Scrub. Scrub. Scrub.
Ursula scrubbed away all the stench of children from her clothes while she hummed on a crazy tune. Mr Handsome Finch and Freckles girl had sadly left in a hurry. Getting an idea she stuck her head in her big old bag and soon produced a foul smelling necklace and a can of live eels.
Smiling too broadly for her face Ursula gathered up her clothes and trotted out of the bathroom. Freckles and Mr Handsome hadn't left.
Trotting over to them Ursula pushed the can of eeles into the girls arms with a crazy cackle.
"If you feed the eels they'll keep you safe from the doom that is coming." Turning to Mr handsome Finch she gave off a creepy wheeze before she grabbed a hold of his arm, pulled him towards her and let the smelly necklace of herbs and incense and heavy perfume come to rest around the man's neck.
"Wear that necklace and you sweet dearie will be protected from all evil. It's a Madam Ursula guaranteeeee." with that Ursula trotted away down the corridor and out of sight.
Only thing left to be heard was her eerie cackle.
