If Jack had a spare wand he would have levitated those two silly first years out of the hall....but he didn't. All he could do was wait.

Shield still in place, he started back towards the door. Soon, he was going to have to follow orders and leave, whether those two nitwits had left or not.

Herminny did not need to be told twice, the professors were telling everyone to leave so she certainly was'nt going to disobey them. She made her way out of the hall as fast as she could. Once out she felt relieved to be out of the place off the horror show that would probably be giving her nightmares for years to come.

"But I want to help." The small stubborn Ravenclaw stood up to Professor Bunbury. But Mr. Masterson told her to leave too. And she didn't want him to be mad at her. He kinda reminded her of her dad. Just thinking about her dad made her want to stay. But she turned to go. "Fine.." She muttered, looking at Mr. Masterson with wide eyes. She could help but right now they were all distracted by her being there and she didn't want them to get hurt because of her. Especially the ones she actually cared about.

Ok so they were finally leaving! "Younger students get out quickly!" She yelled making her way towards the door, her shield charm still up. "Hurry!" She yelled pushing some first years towards the door.

"I understand that," he nodded, still moving her to the door of the great hall, "and it's a good thing you want to help. It's dangerous, though and we have to think about the safety of the students first. You'll come to understand when you're older. Now," he said, giving them one more gentle push to the door. "Up to your common room and stay there." He started to run back to Bontecou's unconscious figure, looking out for anymore students that needed ushering out.

Cam watched as Cy raaaan away from the werewolf, good decision the boy made and he looked back at the rabid werewolf to see if his silver sickle had done the trick.

But right before he could throw another, he heard all of the professors telling the students to go out. OUT? OUT?? ...Good choice actually but someone was already dragging him out. WUT? NUUU what about the Headmastah? "WAIT--maybe it wasn't sickle. Maybe it was bronze. Or gooold!" He said, digging his hand into his pocket and out came a few more sickles and galleons and a few knuts tooo.

"I can DOOO this I can--," he was getting dragged out by now and he threw the first knut straight at the werewolf. Then another knut. "I HAS MONEEEEEEEEYYYY." He tried flailing his way out of the Ravenclaw's grip and threw MOAAARRR money.

They were aaaaalmost out, but not before he could throw a few galleons--one ACCIDENTALLY going straight at the back of Bunzz's head and the other and another ACCIDENTALLY going straight at a certain groundskeeper.

And they were out of the Great Hall, looking back at the werewolf. Wow.

Kevin ran out of the hall as quick as his legs could carry him and ran straight towards the common room without looking back

Right when the Ravenclaw said the word stupid is when Cy forgot that there was a Ravenclaw in the room. NO ONE... call's Cyrus Paul Andrus stupid. It was against the law. Quickly opening his mouth to retort, he then closed it again as she finished her sentence. "I mate, am not stupid. I am a genius. Trust me, it's a fact. And if I wanted to I could deck that werewolf right down to thah' equator with my fist. THAT, is why I don't have me' wand."

Then he heard the growl of the werewolf. Brown eyes bugged out yet again he dived under the legs of Issy Cortella in fear. His whole he-man aura taking a quick bout out of the window.

He was just eleven... OKAY!

Then Issy grabbed his hands. Cy gave Cam a who does she think she is glance as she began to drag him out of the Great Hall. "HEY HEY, who died and made YOU thah' tall poppy around here..." And his argumentative voice could be heard blabbing out various words as he was literally forced out of the Great Hall to... somewhere else.

The Aussie was NOT happy.

Cari took a deep breath and slowly lowered her wand, testing, not that she didn't trust Iliana, to see if the Professor really DID have Alessia.

The angry werewolf jerked a bit, but she might have done that anyway,

A sigh of relief and effort exploded from Cari's chest.

And she still had so much left to worry about.

She spun around and dropped to the floor where The Headmaster was.

"Professor Bontecou? Reynard?" she tried.

No, definitely no reaction.

Lots of blood though.

She pressed her fingers to his throat.

Uh oh!

"We have a problem."Cari muttered, bringing back her bloodstained hand and wiping it on her skirt. "I don't know if I can treat him, not on my own anyway."

Dani had left the room just like they had told her too, but she stood just outside, listening to what was going on. She couldn't just leave. What if something happened and all of the Professors died and none of the students found out? It was far fetched, but this was Hogwarts. It could happen. So she stood there, about a foot away from the door and listened to the Professors.

Jack backed up to the door, dropped his shield and exited. He wished the Professors well....

Now to get the stragglers up to the common room.

Kazimeriz watched as all hell broke loose in the great hall. He stood stock still, watching as the cage burst open and were-lessia broke free and ran amok.

In an eye's blink, the other professors had her up in the air, levitating. The headmaster was down. The students were running wild. And Truebridge, that villain of villains, was reconstructing the cage.

It all played out just as he had anticipated it would. He reached into his pocket, withdrawing a small phial of silver fluid.

He rose his wand, first casting at his throat and then taking control of the werewolf from the other professors, directing her back down to the ground. He moved quickly, and in three steps he was standing right behind her. Kazimeriz began to utter a low, feral growling noise in the back of his throat. The sound rose until it became an inhuman howl, high and chilling.

It was the cry of a distressed werewolf.

The wolf was getting angrier with the professors who were attacking her when she heard the other wolf... where was he? She howled went she smelled something sweet... it was odd but it was coming from the general direction of the other werewolf... she could see the silvery phial... she lunged the man that smelled of impending death and she held his arm down and ate the pretty liquid... no sooner did she do that, the wolf fell on the ground passed out.

No sooner was the werewolf down than Kazimeriz was raising his wand again. "We must act quickly! Let us get her into the cage-- if it is sound again..." He eyed Truebridge with mistrust. "Someone check the cage-- make CERTAIN it is secure."

Truebridge turned his attention on Kazimeriz, "By all means, since you apparently forgot to do so initially." He stepped away from the cage, wand still held loosely in his hand.

Kazimeriz's eyes blazed with fury. "Impressive performance, Truebridge. You really should have stuck to acting. But the task was the responsibility of the defense professor, which is your little minion, and so--" he stopped himself. "Now is not the time. We need to ensure she is secure and sent to hospital before she wakes." He walked to the cage and began checking its wards himself, lest the incompetent History professor failed to make it secure. "Caroline... we need to get her to hospital." he said, seeing Miss Avalon out of the corner of his eye.

"Oh both of you need to shut up or grow up." Cari snapped from the ground.

There was way too much blood.

"Have at each other later," she said, her voice strained with anxiety, "Less isn't the only one; Bontecou needs to be moved... to St Mungo's because I can't..." Cari trailed off. The bottom half of her skirt was well stained with blood, where it pooled around her knees.

She wasn't trained for this.

Kazimeriz nodded. "You are quite right, Miss Avalon." he murmured. He raised his wand, pointing it first at Alessia. "Mobilicorpus!" he said softly, moving her body into the cage. "Someone needs to warn Mungo's that we have a dangerous patient inbound so they can be ready with proper restraints for when should she awaken. Meanwhile, what of Reynard's condition?"

Minion? Lawson... a minion?

Of his?

Ethan ignored this and looked between Were-Lupa and Bontecou. "It doesn't look good. What else do you need me to do?"

Naturally, Ethan was talking to Cari.

Kazimeriz, naturally, presumed Ethan was reporting to him. He was, after all, deputy headmaster... and as the headmaster was incapacitated, he was acting Headmaster.

"Truebridge, you will accompany Mr. Masterson to St. Mungo's. Masterson, please inform them that we have a wizard down due to apparent evisceration by a werewolf, condition uncertain, and that we also have an incoming unconscious lycanthrope, afflicted with a tampered potion but currently in a state of suspended animation due to a large dose of collodial silver tranquilizing potion. She will need a quarantined saferoom and all appropriate antidotes. Cari, I trust you will manage Reynard's transport; as soon as you are clear of the hall we will manage Alessia's transport."

Kazimeriz turned an eye toward the others, looking especially to the fast-thinking Professor Dumont... the bunnies had been genius. "Gentlemen, I want any extra available wands on our lycanthrope, in case she awakens. Miss Bunbury, Miss Morgan, Miss Kohan-- please ensure that all students return to their common rooms... as we will be moving Alessia and if she awakens, it could be hazardous to be in corridors and so we need them clear of all individuals." Merlin help them if she awoke again during transport... he at least wanted all the lady professors and students removed from harm's way.

Cari's hackles raised a little. What, was she supposed to just get Professor Bontecou to the gates and run away like a frightened little girl? Floods were one thing, this was another matter entirely.

"You can't order me around on a health matter," she reminded him. "What's in the best interest of the patient is what you have to let me do. And your orders are not in the best interest of Professor Bontecou."

Surely he realised the less they moved him the better? Didn't he? How could he not?

"I'm going with you," she said stubbornly. "And I can, there is no need for us to move more than a foot or so to get to St. Mungos. Ethan is licensed in Emergency Portkeys. Besides which, I have to travel with Bontecou, now that I'm elbow deep in his blood. It's regulations."

The entrance to the Dungeons was just off to the side of the Great Hall. Kiri, panting rapidly, actually turned around when she'd reached the steps to see what was happening. She wasn't sure, exactly, how she'd managed to get here. For a heart-stopping moment, the scene had been clear in front of her eyes - the open door that was swinging wildly on its hinges, the werewolf leaping out of the cage... And then the headmaster had been attacked, and Kiri stood up and ran. She nearly fell over the bench as the students, yelling and shouting, headed for the Great Hall's exit. She ducked under a stunning spell sent by one of the teachers, and then she'd escaped the 'Hall.

Students pushed past her on the way to their common rooms, but she wasn't the only one who'd stopped to watch. The Great Hall was silent now. The shouts of the professors and the roars of the werewolf had died away. The only person who could be heard was Professor Kazimeriz, speaking clearly but calmly. Kiri's eyes widened. They were going to take the headmaster and Professor Lupa to St. Mungo's? That sounded as if both of them were seriously injured - or at least needed help. She turned and hurried down the steps to the Dungeons for good. There was no possibility of her staying conscious if she saw either Professor Bontecou or Professor Lupa transported past her.

Kazimeriz raised a brow. "I never presumed you were NOT going to go with us, Miss Avalon. Quite simply, Headmaster Bontecou needs your expertise. I trust you will see to him as we will see to Alessia. But this portkey--" His mind raced. Truebridge could legally register a portkey... he was not trustworthy in other matters, but what option did they have? Time was running away swiftly. He sighed. "Yes. Do it, then, Truebridge, and get to Mungo's with Masterson so they can prepare for us. Let us go; time is wasting."

Ethan frowned, "I can indeed arrange a portkey or... two. One for each of you along with Bontecou and..." Ethan frowned again, looking at Were-Lupa, "Alessia." He summoned a small goblet and placed it on a chair next to the cage. He tapped it and murmured 'Portus', activating it for St Mungo's. He did the same with a summoned serving spoon, crouching to place it within reach of Caroline for when she was ready to transport Bontecou.

"Might I suggest alerting St Mungo's by patronus? Masterson and I can head to the ministry and inform the appropriate departments and hopefully arrange some damage control. No good can come from this."

Kazimeriz glared at Truebridge. He was loathe to admit it, but the idea was good. "Fine. But you are not to go to the ministry-- I will manage that myself later." All we need is the department of education hearing of this from Truebridge. The school will be closed permanently. He raised his wand and cast a corporeal patronus murmuring his message to his silver qilin. It lumbered off, leaving a drift of silver smoke in its wake.

"Truebridge, Masterson, you will assist Caroline as guards while she transports Rey-- Headmaster Bontecou. Take care to follow her orders to the letter and make no mistake-- she is in charge in this expedition." He turned to look at all the other professors in the hall. "As we no longer need to transport all the way to the gates, I ask that some of you accompany me with Alessia and others volunteer to go see to the students, who must be frightened and confused. Now... let's go." He raised his wand to levitate Alessia out of the cage to his grasp so they could transport her before it was too late, nodding to the other professors to join him as he placed his hand on the portkey and departed with her.
