 Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch
Regina gave approving nods at the prefects and older students who said that they would escort their Housemates back to their common rooms. Getting everyone away from the scene was what needed to happen right now. It was time for the adults to take over the situation.
... and then there was vomit. The headmistress gave the first year a sympathetic look and look out her wand to vanish the girl's not-fully-digested supper before a chain reaction was started. Before she could wave her wand, however, they Gryffindor prefect was already cleaning up. "Thank you, Mr. Salander. Take ten points for quickly cleaning that mess up. And please do take Miss Kemp to the hospital wing for a Pepper-up Potion before she returns to her common room."
She watched as some did not waste time in leaving the scene. Those that lingered received a look that said off you go. Not leaving was not an option.
Her gaze returned to Tristan when he confirmed that the good was not human. A sigh of relief escaped her, though it was short-lived when the source of the blood was mentioned. Worry spread across her face as her eyes focused on the blood painted on the ceiling.
"We need to secure the castle and search for any signs that might lead us to whoever did this," she told Tristan and Roderik. The bloodless bodies of the rodents had to be somewhere, or maybe someone with blood-stained hands was hiding. "Prefects will be put in charge of roll call and keeping everyone in their common rooms until breakfast tomorrow. No one is to leave. I want everyone on staff to be patrolling the corridors and rooms tonight for anything. I'll get Sylvia to take care of this right away in the morning."
With that said, she placed her wand to her neck and made a school-wide announcement about everyone needing to return to their common rooms immediately listen to their prefects, and stay put -- or face the consequences. She then casted numerous Patronuses, sending a silver alligator to each of the staff members to secure the castle and search it from top to bottom.
