Nothing TOO serious, but she still didn't like talking about it, and especially not with students. She didn't really feel it was her place to talk about that kind of thing with them. "I have three brothers. There are a lot of male Newtons, so us females have to be tough to even the playing field." Yep, she had certainly proven to be on the same level as her brothers.

The comment about things being peaceful made Rosalyn laugh. Just thinking about the magical competition that was going on. "Things ARE pretty crazy here right now, but it's definitely a better crazy than last term. Hopefully there aren't any bad school rivalries popping up." The last thing that they needed on their hands was a fight. "But yes, I know what you mean. I remember last term I was scared every day that there would be a student who ended up dead." It was bad enough that some got taken, she couldn't even imagine if one of them ended up being killed.
THREE brothers?

She couldn't imagine having an extra brother!! Would he have been like Simon or more like Marcus... or... more like her? Or then again, completely different. "Wow! Three brothers. Are they all older than you, Professor?" Olivia just had two older brothers which made meant that they would relentlessly and maybe mercilessly tease any guy friend she ever brought home. She hoped for Rosalyn's sake that they hadn't been older and that they hadn't teased her or Professor Marchand too too much.

Olivia agreed when Professor Newton mentioned that she was scared that a student could have died almost every day. She shuddered and remembered being in the portal and hearing that thing and the thing chasing them. Then she had ended up there with Leon, Ace, Brent, and more. Merlin. She had never been so happy to see the ground again. She had forgotten that she had spent the minute she got out of the portal hugging Brent as she was so terrified and the had all survived.

And then that thing took Etta. "I remember when Etta and another girl vanished from the bridge... I wanted to go and help but felt so helpless."
