The Headmaster nodded to his staff and the students when they arrived and greeted him, still just a tad too shaken up to produce any words of substance in the moment despite his outwardly calm expression. It was the deep but subtle breaths he was taking that made things marginally better for him and by the time what he thought was the last of the students had begun rolling in, he felt he was in a better position to begin.

"Heads of Houses, I'd like you to do a head count, make sure we haven't lost anyone. Students, take your own little look around. If there's anyone who should be here who isn't, let someone know immediately." If said people were still alive but willingly absent, they would have additional worries but this was no time for that line of thinking. They had a situation.

"As many of you are aware, there have been things missing around the castle and things seemingly gnawed through. As far too many of you also seem to be aware, there has also been a little pink creature that's apparently been getting very chummy. Do not, let me repeat, DO NOT feed that thing. Stop if you already have. Don't cuddle it. Don't try to keep it. Do not go near it. When you see it, go the other way. We currently have a.....situation..." Yes, Dolly was quite the situation. She was here ten minutes ago and now she most certainly was not. "regarding our dearly loved...and sure to be dearly missed, Charms Professor." Did...did they get the gist of where this was going? He was trying to be tactful. "She...those things--eh?" The man stopped quite abruptly at the appearance of the house elf, the one who'd been on thin ice since that little summer stunt.

Malachi raised a brow at him. "Your....what?" The man looked to the students again, not at all impressed. "Do any of you know what he's on about?" DON'T tell him that thing had been Toddles's doing. They now had a dead Professor on their hands.

Tristan nodded at the Headmaster and immediately started to count his Gryffindors making sure all of them were accounted for. But before he could get half way through Headmaster Trent was insinuating that the creature had done something to Professor Dopple and he completely forgot where he had left off. His mouth dropping, he quickly recovered but placing his hand over his mouth.

And then there was Alice...

A small amount of nervousness started building inside her as she waited to hear what it was. She managed it with a few deep breaths.

Then the headmaster to speak, and the all the calm that Alice had built up through gentle breathing was shattered into a million pieces. The first thing she felt was disgust, as she did whenever those little pink fluffs that everyone else seemed to love so much was brought up. Then guilt at being alienated from the students due to her desk missing, when now it was clear that they had had nothing to do with it. Then the guilt was replaced by sadness and shock. Dear Dolly...was...gone?

Rage took over everything else. Her hands curled into fists and she whirled to address the headmaster. "Headmaster, I suggest we get the students to a safe place and then divide the staff into two groups. One group shall stay with the students to protect them and the other shall hunt down these pink little ratfaces and exterminate them like the vermin they are! They ALL must die!"

She whirled on Toddles upon hearing one of the students ask if he was the owner of the pink fluffs. "Toddles! Do you know where these unruly ratface vermin are?!" Yes, Toddles, tell her so she can kill them.

His anger peaked immediately but he wasn't going to yell at her. Calmly he responded, "Professor O'Hara, that is NOT how we remove unknown creatures. Even when they have done something terrible, it is in their nature and we can't blame them for that. Harming or killing them is not the answer, and to say such things in front of the students is not appropriate." He shook his head and sighed as she berated the elf. He didn't know what the creature was capable of.
