Pretty soon, all the others started pouring in, which only gave Isla a little bit of reassurance about this whole 'emergency' thing. At least she knew she was in the right place now. If there truly was an emergency, the last thing she wanted was to be wandering off on her own while the entire rest of the castle was somewhere else. She took note of Minjae and Fiona standing next to her and nodded when Minjae said he hoped this better be good.

...and then Trent arrived.

She listened as he detailed what was going on. Her face dropped when he mentioned Professor De Nostredame. That had been horrible. Just horrible.

So anyway...he wanted them to just...pop them on back into their portraits? How exactly did he plan on them doing that? None of them, especially Gryffindor and secondly Slytherin, seemed like the top to let the students just pop them on back in a portrait.

Ahem. "Headmaster? I'll go with you, but...how exactly are we going to do this? They don't exactly seem like the type that'll just let us pop 'em on back in," she politely pointed out. "Is there a...plan?" ...and if there wasn't, somebody else could deal with Gryffindor. She was volunteering to convince ole loyal Hufflepuff back in.
