All of you. Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede! Laurel highly doubted that anyone in the dungeons could have done this crime. Her gift would have warned her if so but there were still too many unknown details. She needed to see the scene for herself before she could make any real conclusions. One thing she was pretty certain of was though that none of her snakes could be responsible for the deed and from Vivians note she had ruled out the possibility of a bad prank.
Coming into the dungeons several minutes later after hasting down the floors and navigating the endless corridors with ease Professor Vance soon stood in front of the thirteenth stone wall and whispered serpensortia and waited impatiently for the passage to open.
When she came into the common room still with her wand in hand Laurel whispered and cast a few spells to allow her to enter the Girl's Dorms. The professor quickly scrambled up the right staircase past Natalie until she came to and looked into the Fifth year dorm to find Vivian.
Oh dear.
This didn't look good at all. It looked even worse than what she had envisioned.
It clearly was not a prank.
A big uneasy clump settled in the pit of her stomach. Someone had decided to ransack the Girl's Dorms just like they had done to the Ravenclaws some months ago. The big question was WHY? Who would go to this length of thrashing a room entirely in search of something and why?
Utterly confused Professor Vance carefully stepped into the room over the shattered wood remains of the dorm door making sure not to step on any splinters. Silently she surveyed the demolishment from the ripped bedding and pillows, the clothes, the books, art supplies and the shattered drawers and bits of broken glass and noted how everything strewn and tossed around the room.
Once her examination was done and she hadn't really found any clear sign or trail left by the culprit Laurel turned to Junia, Skylar, Felicity, Natalie and Vivian she said "Sweet Circe, someone has really demolished this room entirely." Shaking her head heavily she asked eyes now on Vivian. "Vivian, has anyone else come in here after you sent me that paper plane? Or even walked past?" Anyone looking suspicious or out of place? "Unless someone has a grudge to settle with the girl's in this part of the dungeons then it looks like someone was after something. Have you girls looked through your belongings and seen if anything is missing yet?" The last Laurel directed to all of them.
