Isabelle nodded as Fina replied. "Yes, I'm sure you're right," she smiled. Of course she was right. It would be sorted in no time. Hopefully. Once they'd worked out what was actually wrong.

At least everyone seemed to be settling in okay, and that was currently the main thing. Nobody needed anything, and Issy was tempted to do the same as Fina and get comfy on a chair, but someone arrived to interrupt that thought...

Something in her stiffened slightly as the Headmistress approached. Isabelle was still trying to get used to that, the fact it was no longer Tate in charge. Although the woman was pleasant enough. "Headmistress Truebridge," she said, returning the greeting with a small smile.

"I've only been down to the Hufflepuff common room, so I can't say about the state of the others, but that one is firmly locked." She raised her eyebrows and shrugged slightly. Her expertise was not so good on it's own, as it turned out, but a team - that certainly could work. "I'll help, of course. Where were you planning on starting?"

Firmly locked. Well, that was consistent with the word on the other rooms. "We'll start upstairs at the Gryffindor entrance." Yes, with the Fat Lady... why not. "Meet me there?"

She had a few things to do and then she'd be up too.

"I know your parents will be so much proud even if you have gone to art school. You really have a skillful hand, you see. I just wish I could sketch as skillful as you.", she added.

When Belle told her about her holiday plans, she was thrilled. "Whoa! You mean you will actually travel boarding on a Cruise ship?! Blimey, my Dad told me those muggle ships are really big. I want to be on that muggle ship too if I'd be given the chance.", she said to Belle still amazed.

"What countries are you be landing in?", she asked Belle. Befelda looks really excited for her. She almost wanted to go with her on the Cruise.

Hmm...a diary. Befelda's not used to having diaries with her. She just thinks of reserving her memories in a flask.

"Me? Well, I always wanted a new broom. Perhaps a Firebolt. I always ask my Dad of it, he just always give me a shrug. But I really hope he'll give me that as a Christmas present.". she exclaimed to Awar.

"Oh, and my Mom will be making some blueberry pies, my favorite!" , she added. "Then, we will go visit my grandparents on Christmas. It'll be so much fun!", she squirmed.

"A new Firebolt sounds awesome! I really hope you get it!" Awar smiled.
Mmm....blueberry pie sounds so good right now. She ought to stop thinking of it. "My grandparent's always have Christmas parties, so that's probably what I'll be doing."

A voice boomed out around the Great Hall. It was the Transfiguration professor and she had a message. So listen up kiddies.



"Can I have your attention please everyone! I have some good news and some bad news... Plus a request. Firstly I am pleased to inform you that the common rooms have been successfully unlocked, however we ask that you remain in the Great Hall for the time being. This is due to the fact that Professor Burbage has, apparently, been kidnapped by a plant." That sounded ridiculous even to her, but anyway. "Search parties are being set up to look for the Astronomy Professor and the plant, so if you would like to join in and help, please make your way here to us at the entrance. Those of you that don't, please stay where you are and someone will remain with you. Thank you!" Okay, well hopefully that got their attention.
