 Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch
The headmistress was returning to her office from a classroom in the upper floors, right after debriefing with the professor about the lesson. As she clicked and clacked down the stairs and was steadily walking down the second floor corridor, she couldn't help but think about the progression of the lesson and glance down at her observation notes. Overall, she was quite impressed.
However, she was not impressed with the sight she returned to. The woman stopped dead in her tracks, standing in the middle of the corridor, when she noticed that her gargoyle was covered in notes. Whichever Dorcus did that was in serious trouble...
The woman snatched one of the notes and read in rather rapidly. At first she was quite upset by the sight, but then her mood did a complete one-eighty. This was not a student prank; it was an alert. The subject matter of the note written by Mister Bronwyn made her eyes grow wide.
Curse words were muttered under her breath when a silvery kangaroo, belonging to the Transfiguration professor, suddenly appeared before her and spoke of the horror that had found its way into the castle. The note flew to the ground, the woman already making a run for the stairs.
As she ran, she pointed her wand to her throat and her voice, sounding more tense than normal, boomed out of the loudspeakers throughout the castle. "A dangerous creature has just emerged from the portal. Students, for your safety, please return to your common rooms immediately. Older students, escort younger students as you come across them and keep each other safe. All staff members are to team up and search the castle. This is not a drill. Stay vigilant."
