At all.
When she'd accepted the position as Department Head, she had not thought that the job would entail her leading her entire department on a dangerous mission. She might have declined if she'd been aware of that. DERP had seemed like such a...not-dangerous department too. If you knew your way around plants, that is of course. Yes, you had to be vigilant inside the greenhouses at all times but you still, usually, knew what to expect.
Not today, though. Not here.
With her wand in her hand, Olly had slowly made her way up from Hogsmeade, feeling more and more anxious the closer they got to the castle's gates. She trusted that her team were following her, she could even see some of them out of the corner of her eyes. She hadn't spoken unless somehow had asked her a question and she didn't intend to. If they had been waiting for an encouraging speech from her, they would be disappointed.
She slowed to a halt outside the gates. Rubbing her arm absently, Olly stared up at the castle...or rather, where she knew the castle to be. She couldn't actually see much through the mist surrounding it. Simply being this close to it made a small shiver run down her spine. Why couldn't the Aurors have dealt with this? Or Mysteries maybe? Basically anyone besides her own department.
She'd hugged Schuyler and Evie extra hard this morning before leaving for Hogsmeade.
