They had no answers for him - it all seemed to come down to him remembering what had happened, and Soph wasn't sure he would remember at all.
She nodded solemnly at the Headmistress' reassurance that Culloden was going to be okay and looked between the two professors as they discussed the matter. She knew better than to speak unless she was spoken to, so Soph folded her hands in front of her and briefly considered excusing herself, but it didn't feel right just leaving Culloden in his panicked state. So, instead of leaving, she started brainstorming ideas of things that might cheer him up - like food. And food. And... yeah, probably food. That always stabilized him, didn't it? A happy stomach meant a happy man or something of the sort? Maybe she could go fetch him something from the kitchens.
But, in her silence, she DID recall lots of shouting at the event the night prior, but not by Culloden - the Herbology professor had been one shouting stuff about beanstalks and shouting nonsensical things, she had been close by and saw THAT charade from her spot on the blankets during the fireworks show. But... if anything had happened with Culloden at that time, she hadn't seen a thing - but something MUST have happened there, if that was the last thing he remembered, right?
So much guilt. So much regret. What if she could have prevented this somehow? Quote:

He needed all the care they could offer him, he had been brutally attacked and his memory was erased! No, he didn't think he would be alright at all. What if he did hurt someone and wouldn't remember it? Worse yet, what if his memory was forever damaged? He took deep breaths. "What if these adults were imperius'd too?" he blurted out, he was probably exaggerating this conspiracy, but he didn't notice, "I mean, all I remember is these fireworks and something glowing in the ground. Then, I found myself here."
.........what if that glowing thing had been a dark object!? "Can we just call the Aurors now?" His head hurt. He wanted to leave this castle ASAP. Cosgrach was not handling this well, and frankly, Anastasia didn't know what else to say to comfort him. "We don't need to call the Aurors," she murmured in a nearly sharp tone. "You've just had a fright is all. Let's focus on the glowing thing you saw on the ground. Any cha---" Quote:

It's urgent we might have a dangerous mysteriously glowing book on the loose in the castle."
Message delivered the bald eagle thined out and dissapeared. The redhead quickly stopped talking when a silvery bald eagle appeared, however. Ooh. La la. It was Leobald's patronus, and as Merlin would have it, it seemed to be related to Cossy's problem. She nodded at the eagle as it finished its message and then disappeared, and then turned back toward Cosgrach.
"---Any chance that glowing object could have been a mysteriously glowing book?" To quote from the patronus, it sure sounded like too much of a coincidence to ignore. "Let's go to the meeting. You'll feel better once you have some answers. Come come."
Now it was her turn to walk her friend around the castle, the way he had assisted her when she was aging so rapidly just a few years ago. Without waiting for his assent, Annie took control of the situation and took her friend under his arm, tugging him along insistently to the meeting. "You ought to go too, Miss Brown," she called over her shoulder as they headed for the stairs. "Something might happen..."
One never knew what was going to happen in the library.
