 Mischievous Niffler
Alice was smart enough to know that "You can come too" was much less an invitation from the headmaster and much more an order. He wanted her to be present for whatever was about to happen - which unfortunately for Professor Kennedy probably meant a firing was at hand.
Her expression was emotionless as she followed Julian out of the entrance hall and into the courtyard. The two prefects she allowed to walk in the middle, which meant the history of magic teacher was bringing up the rear. It was not that she thought they were going to run away. No, she just didn't like the sensation of people walking directly behind her, which was why she almost always brought up the rear whenever possible.
What were Ms. Cambridge and Mr. Ashburry-Hawthorne thinking of all this, she wondered as they all stood there waiting, watching them from the corners of her eyes. For that matter, what did she think of it? O'Hara was not sadistic and she did not like to see her colleagues punished, but simultaneously she could not sympathise or understand why any of them would challenge school rules after everything that had happened. Giving such a bad example to the students surely deserved some sort of punishment.
She stood with hands crossed behind her back and waited. Now was not the time to say anything. Now was the time to watch.
