Loads and loads more people soon showed up at the Scene of the Crime, and Emmeline was starting to get a liiiiitttle bit scared. Just a little. When Professors Hirsch and Wayland showed up and Mr. Ace drew the crime scene-type ribbon, Emmeline edged close to the ribbon to hear what else the professors were saying.

So it WAS real blood, not some sick sort of blood-looking paint. That kinda ruled out the theory that this was a practical joke gone WAY wrong that Emmeline had been trying reallllly hard to hold on to. And then Professor Wayland was saying it was creature blood, and Emmeline felt her heart start racing again. Who would do something like this to a creature?! She took a deep breath and called out, "A boy from Slytherin went to get the headmistress a while ago, Professor Wayland." She didn't know his name, 'cause he was a first year or a new transfer student. She hoped he hadn't gotten lost trying to find the headmistress's office or something, 'cause now that she thought about it, she didn't know where that was and she was a second year.

She was starting to feel realllly twisty in her stomach 'cause that was kind of a BIIG thing to draw in blood mhm. And another thought occurred to her, so she asked the group at large (but mostly the professors): "Errr...how did the person get up there without somebody seeing them?" She figured that somebody would've noticed a kid flying on a broom and stuff. Maybe it was one of the ghosts?

Emmeline managed a small smile and wave to Miss Olivia when she came over, and had just been thinking about going to hide behind stand next to her Housemate when FLYNN showed up. The second year edged a little closer to the Slytherin boy instead; she figured that someone who was allllwayysss making other older kids mad must be pretty good at defensive spells by now, mhm. She stopped in time to hear his question and shook her head: "I thought it was a joke too, Flynn, but...I don't think it is anymore 'cause there's REAL blood." Nobody would kill or severely injure an innocent creature just for a stupid prank, would they??
