Celandine would see if Eloise would like to have tea with her after, they could discuss poor Henry a little more then. But for now, the former Ravenclaw was listening as people began to speak up, as the headmistress addressed them.
"I believe in Hogwarts too, and I have faith in you, and your staff, Headmistress." Celandine said, taking her turn. "I wouldn't have three children attending the school if I didn't. I appreciate the measures that have been taken but I think it would empower the children more, and make them feel less helpless, if there were some more practical solutions put in place. Emergency procedures. There's plenty of spells that could potentially help them if they were confronted with one of these sudden portals isn't there? To stick themselves or tie themselves down, or to send up a caterwaul or alert to let others know of the risk. At the very least it would make them feel like something is being done, and make them feel less powerless after all. Could there perhaps be a seminar organized for the children, an assembly of some sort, where they can be taught what to do if they find themselves in the situation my daughter found herself in, with her friend," She nodded at Eloise and gave her a commiserating smile, "being sucked into a portal right before her eyes?"
Cela wasn't one to just complain. She'd much rather offer up practical solutions, along with her support, just as Vannie had just said. Not that she didn't understand Alex's concerns, but truly, was anyone here surprised that something like this might happen? The specifics couldn't have been predicted of course, but there was always something, and this wasn't even as bad as things that she remembered from her own time here.
"We need to empower the children. Teach them what to do in an emergency." In addition to the curfew, that was.
