Maddie turned to Jessa as she rattled off a list of what they could possibly do. The older Ravenclaw girl seemed so calm and collected, and that attitude kept Maddie under control as she waited to see what would happen next. "We should probably get everybody out of the castle," she said, a little hesitant to speak up. "Professor Curtains told us that the last time the merpeople got involved with the castle, the whole thing almost flooded." They didn't even know who these attackers were either.

"I don't see my prefects out here, so..." Maddie sighed. "...I volunteer to go round up the Hufflepuffs." She caught the look Emmalyn gave her and spared a smile for the slightly younger girl. "Let's just stick together, Emmalyn. We might get ourselves in a situation we don't know how to get out of." Besides, she was sure the professors and the Headmistress would give them directions. This was Hogwarts. They were pretty used to this kind of thing, yeah?

But then the Headmistress spoke up, and apparently, the master plan was getting underway. Blinking and then growing wide-eyed, Maddie withdrew her wand. As she did this, she thought back to the tapestry she'd viewed with the other professors. Something about a wizard taking a treasure and then...what was the part about the skull? Now she was wishing she'd figured out more of the mystery behind that display.
