Noble had a furrow on his brow as he briskly strode through the castle, wand in his hand just in case. As he made his way from the dungeons, he'd first made a stop at the Hufflepuff Common Room, and then herded the Badgers there, plus any other students he'd come across towards the courtyard.
Having reached the throng of students now, he quietly moved among the gathering until he landed beside his former housemate, Amelia. "I do hope Trent gets to the point." 'Compromised' and 'pink and fluffy' seemed less than useful for understanding the threat. He was taking it seriously, but did the Headmaster know how many pygmy puffs resided in the castle?
He didn't have to wait long to find out more, however, and Noble's face darkened. He started on the Hufflepuff head count with those closest to him Alessandro one... Bel two... Mary three... Derf four... Daisy five... but he soon faltered as he heard the words 'dearly loved' and 'Charms Professor'.
Er? Well, that was one way to break the news, Headmaster. Assuming he'd interpreted those phrases correctly, that was.
For now, though he went back to his counting. The students were his primary concern, and he needed an accurate head count. "Hufflepuffs, make a line here please, in year group order! First years at the front, seventh years at the back." It'd be much easier with them all in one place.
