Okay, no time for your chicken little impression, you can do that later.

No not okay. She knew it was not okay. And she had known, taking this job, that a normal day is a day when the school HASN'T caught on fire, or been partially destroyed, almost been usurped by the ministry or anything of the like. It was just a little water. And... et cetera. No mater that she was pretty much terrified of it.
She took a deep breath, steadied herself. Fighting with Kazimeriz ceased to be important. "Yes Professor Kazimeriz," she acquiesced. "Also, while it seems like the least of our problems, as long as there are no interaction considerations, every Professor who has been in the water needs to take Pepperup Potion. I cannot stress that enough. We have troubles enough without one of you catching cold too."
It wasn't a slight. And while none of the children were having adverse reactions, the window was essentially closed on an interaction complication, but she wanted to know exactly what Professor Kazimeriz had to say before she did anything else.

"Thank you, Professor." Kazimeriz said. It took a strong, competent man to manage Slytherin House, and little Eddie Forrester had apparently grown up into such a man. It appeared he inspired a balance of respect and confidence from his house, and Kazimeriz found himself pleased by this, especially in such a time of crisis. Perhaps he had really taught him something.
He turned to Caroline.
"If I may have that word with you, privately...?" He stepped away from the dias, shuffle-thumping with the grace of a newborn giraffe over to a quiet corner so he could speak to her alone.
