Well, it was saying that Lawson and Bunbury got it on in the greenhouses and clearly Bunbury knew what was on it and made her way over to confiscate it from me."
He took a breath and finished his coffee before continuing, "However, some Ravenclaw nutter beat her to it and she attacked me! Started hitting me with a wellie boot! Apparently she was one of the people whose shoes I borrowed. In the midst of my being attacked Bunbury was trying to remove the parchment from my hands I guess... buttttt, I mistook her from the Ravie loon and bit down. Hard. Lost myself five points, but no detention - so that's quite good."
Just then a rather determined knock came on the Professors' Hut door before someone shouting in that water was in the Great Hall. "Not to be rude Professor, but do the staff know what they're doing? I mean... these floods. They aren't being controlled easily, I take it? I think an evacuation might be needed soon." He nodded in agreement with himself, "Yes. That seems most appropriate... despite, its unfortunate-ness."
She giggled at the story as she finished her coffee and put down her cup... wishing she'd been there to see the rabid bunnywoman being bitten. But they were interrupted.
She was about to address Naomi when Various spoke again.
Not to be rude... when anyone started their sentence with 'Not to be rude,' you could bet a rude comment was going to follow it. "Yes,
we, the staff, know what we are doing. We are trying to give you students a good education under these horrid conditions, and as soon as we figure out the culprit, rest assured he, or she, will be dismissed from the school." She stood to go to the girl and then turned to the boy with a smile. "If you feel we are not doing our jobs, you are always free to Owl your parents, Master Tipps. You are not obligated to stay at Hogwarts." Truth was, yes... it was probably time to close the school... but it was Pepe's call.

She turned to her friend and said "Come on Iliana..." and then turned the people in the room and said "Everyone out. Professor Morgan and I need to attend to the water problem. Thank you Miss Cambridge, we'll take it from here."
