 Mischievous Niffler
Alice regarded her colleague (Tristian Wayland) with an icy stare as he berated her. At this moment she was tempted to scream all sorts of unpleasant insults, but she held herself in check. Instead she answered in as calm a voice (though the calmness was decidedly hostile) as his. "Respectfully, Professor Wayland, these creatures have killed a professor. Why should we care if they can't help themselves? Now that these RATFACES have a taste for human blood, what's to stop them from doing it again? I know you're a monster lover, but please don't let your love blind you from seeing what needs to be done."
But then the Headmaster came down on the side of Tristian. UGH! That man was so soft! "Meaning no disrespect, but headmaster, what if we are attacked? Can we use deadly force to defend ourselves and our students? You know I can't perform magic very well, so my options are limited if I am attacked." Of course now this was a backtrack from what she'd said earlier about hunting them all down to destroy them. Obviously she knew it wasn't smart to argue with the headmaster.
Speaking of self defense...
Normally she would have reacted with great surprise to see DOLLY show up as a ghost. That surprise would have to wait, for at that moment, Toddles flung himself unto her body in an all out attack.
"OOF!!!!" O'Hara grunted in surprise and anger, and immediately started swatting at the house elf. "GET OFF ME!!!! GET OFF, GET OFF!!! UNRULY MINION!!!!!!" She shoved him off her and retrearted backwards several steps, shaking in fury.
She pointed a shaking finger at the house elf. "That elf is out of control! Headmaster, what if he brought the creatures to Hogwarts knowing they were dangerous?!" If they weren't surrounded by the ENTIRE SCHOOL, she would have given him a hard kick. That might be going too far, though, and luckily she was able to restrain herself.
