Angela smiled lightly as Alessia greeted her. “Hello Less.” Moments later, she was presented with a small object in the shape of a toad. The smell of peppermint slowly wafted itself into her senses. Mmm, she had heard of these. “Thanks so much.” She said gratefully as she popped it into her mouth, chewing slowly.

She nodded a greeting as other professors arrived, and looked on curiously as a brief bickering took place. My oh my. Couldn’t everyone simply get along?

Her eyebrows nearly disappeared as she took in the sudden sight of Max dancing down the hallway, bee-bopping away. Only he could make such an entrance. Amused, she watched as he swung Alessia around in what could only be described as jubilation. He certainly knew how to take the seriousness out of a situation.

And finally the Headmaster took his cue to arrive. What was this about the Ministry getting involved? No way! She didn’t trust the Ministry after having been shown just how power-hungry they could be. Of course with the new Ministry head being in place…Still she would prefer NOT to get the Ministry involved at this moment. And to evacuate? The idea seemed appealing, but she still had some reservations about it, and they were the same ones that the other professors voice. Of course, though, seeing to the students' safety was the most important issue.

As it was suggested that some of the professors go out and look for the source of the water, Angela nodded once. It would be a good start, especially if they started right away.

“Not by yourself, Iliana.” She spoke up as her fellow peer suggested searching the lake. It was preposterous to go there alone; if the lake needed to be searched, then there would have to be several who would need to volunteer.
