"I'd appreciate any of you bringing it to me, and the owner, the next time around. I'll have Wayland double check it's not just an overzealous pygmy puff but even then, it wouldn't be more than so big." He gestured with his hands as he spoke, estimating to about the size of a large tennis ball. "And those little fangs wouldn't be so useful for doing all this damage."

That part wasn't adding up.

Neither was the part about the gems being missing. Puffskeins were scavengers but they ate organic things. "It'd have a right awful stomach ache munching on gems too, and it wouldn't have been able to eat all these--unless it didn't and some earlier students helped themselves in which case, I'll need you all on the look out for anyone with gems as well. Report them immediately. That's one offence I won't tolerate. These gems are highly valuable and not easily replaced. The more we can recover, the better."

Were they clear on that?

Daisy had a really odd theory. "This is going to sound odd but then again, I have been having some odd theories as you know, Headmaster. If it is a creature doing this, maybe it is more than one of the same type. It could account for the damage being done to the hourglasses."

When the Headmaster instructed to keep a lookout for students carrying gemstones, Daisy replied with, "Of course, Headmaster."
