Was anyone severely hurt?
Tenacius didnt quite know how to answer that. He looked around their troop and although they didnt really show physical trauma the emotional one is pretty clear to see. So he replied "Uhm.... I went into the portal accidentally and landed like this--" demonstrating he pretty much starfished as his first graceful step into the great unknown. "But that happens fairly often when I'm cruising so for the most part I'm ok. Just exhausted and got frightened quite a bit...." he grinned sheepishly "Something was chasing us and I've never had such a great cardio workout in my life." Carrying a firstie up the stairs and down the corridor while running away from something that might eat them at full speed? Yep cardio workout to die for. Literally.
He was already seated so he gratefully took the Calming Draught. Carlton was describing the other side and the leonine lad listened quietly, himself trying to recall what he saw. The drink was certainly helping him overcome the stress that usually makes it difficult to think "That portal..... it looked like a tear in the wall-- but not? It had a strange glow about it and its filled with this sticky type cobwebs and tendrils-- as if Professor Myer's went on vacation and the nobody was taking care of the greenhouses." It looked much more disgusting than that but it was hard to find the right kind of analogy for something so STRANGE. "That other Hogwarts was pretty dark and cold and FILTHY. So much filth. Like mud and cobwebs and dirt on the ground, the walls, it was on everything. And there were dust bunnies everywhere-- I mean there were these things in the air and you can see it even with very poor light, it was that polluted." Again he is struggling for proper descriptors but thats as close to how he can describe it to someone who didnt see it.
