It was two days after Emmeline had been one of the students to discover the Blood Bird drawn on the ceiling above the bulletin board on the ground floor. She had held off most of her sleuthing and sneaking around for two WHOLE days, but she figured that that was long enough.

She had a prime suspect, based mostly on Derf's instincts about Dark lords and such, and she was eager to start proving to people how wrong they were about the Herbology professor. Even if she had some lingering doubts about that theory herself, planted by older students and by the Hufflepuffs she'd talked to when writing an article about Professor Myers for the yearbook at the end of last term. Still, she couldn't just NOT investigate and the Blood Bird hadn't left much to go on at the crime scene itself. So she was here at the greenhouses to look for something that could be used to hurt rodents and do...horrible things like that.

Plus, the Blood Bird had been fairly well-drawn for something painted with BLOOD, 'cause people had been able to tell that it WAS a bird. And everrrrrryone knew that Professor Myers was into art and all that, mhm. See, it was suspicious. Totally suspicious enough to warrant a loooonnnng search of the greenhouses after dark when nobody was around, yup.

Not that it was dark out yet, but it was getting pretty close to it and Emmeline wanted to get started. She paused on the path facing several greenhouse doors and wondered which one she should search first. She'd have to break into search the professor's actual OFFICE too, of course, but she figured that that would be WAY harder than looking in the greenhouses...
