Carl had received message asking for his presence in the Spare Office on the sixth floor. He had heard Ministry employees were at the school investigating the weird creepy portal business. To some extent, he had been expecting them to interview the portal explorers about their experiences. After all, they were the only people who really knew what it was like behind the portal. He was interested to find out more about the dark version of Hogwarts they had visited and was willing to provide the Ministry with information they needed. Maybe they could find Flynn the caretaker as well...

Ever since his return from creepy Hogwarts, the Hufflepuff had been careful on this floor of the school. Watching out for anything unusual in the corridor, he reached the end of the corridor where the office was located. He knocked on the door, then pushed it open and stepped through the doorway. Seeing the Ministry officials made him slightly nervous, but he smiled at the sight of his friends and professor. "Hello, I'm Carl Leonard. Um, I was asked to come here?" He said.
