It wasn't the time to say it but the 'Do Not Cross' tape was very much appreciated, especially since the crowd around the board was growing as time ticked on. They probably couldn't stop people from crowding around there, not when the Entrance Hall was the gateway to so many other areas of the castle and grounds, but as long as no one came near the dripping sign or got hurt, that's all that mattered.
Luckily, Tristan didn't take long to arrive on the scene. "Tristan," he said, giving the man a nod and watching him get to work. Maybe it was because of what it could mean but he was very much hoping that the blood up there wasn't a human's blood. It raised the possibility of someone being hurt or in some kind of danger and that didn't sit well at all.
While Tristan got to work, his ears picked up on the conversation about it being some kind of Halloween joke. Eyes went from Mr Kowalski to Mr Carter, Emmeline and Miss Primeaux before landing on the dripping sign again. "I very much doubt it's a prank. No one would use blood, really. Ketchup, maybe, but blood?" he said, looking back at the group again, "But if it is, it's a very sick joke." Pause. "Funny timing, though, isn't it?" Halloween and all.
But then Emmeline asked a question that made the man pause. "That," he said slowly, "is a very good question. Brooms comes to mind first. Or levitating whatever they used to get the blood." Frown. "Which raises another question." At this, he looked around at the group at large and asked, "Did anyone see anything funny while they were here? Anyone acting weird? Any spots of blood anywhere else?"
Hirsch wasn't sure whether Tristan's confirmation made him feel better or not. It was a relief to hear that this wasn't from a human being, or worse a student, but a rodent?! "Who would do something like that to a rodent?!" They weren't anyone's favourite creatures, sure, but.... really? And Tenacius raised a good point about the quantity of rodents used for something like this. As for the question about the Headmistress.... "And I've sent her a patronus as well," he chimed in after Emmeline.
The sound of one of the students talking to him made him turn his head in her direction. "That's really nice of you, Miss Primeaux, but there's not a lot to do until the Headmistress gets here." Pause. "You don't have any blood on you, do you?" Tergeo was going to be a very useful spell right about now.
