The Headmistress? Beezus narrowed her eyes, but she just couldn't see the faces of those outside. Nah, she better just give on trying to find out the identity of those persons. If Kurumi wasn't scared of their presence, then that seemed alright.
"Oh. I hope the train gets to move soon." Because it was starting to feel cold. And she was starting to feel scared too.

He turned his head and looked at Beezus. "I'm not sure" Oakey said truthfully. He was worried about all of his friends right now. "They're probably fine. Mordy is insanely self-reliant, and Erin probably ended up landing on her feet after the stop."
Oakey jerked his head back around when he heard a loud female voice call for their attention. How did she get in here so fast? Oakey thought as he sat down on the floor as the Red Hair Headmistress instructed. He wanted to ask her so many questions, like who that man was outside, what happened to the train, and how were they getting to Hogwarts?
After a few minutes of kneeling, Beezus sighed and sank unto the floor, her back leaning against the wall.
Merlin, Merlin, what's happening? Was the train fixable or their alternative would be walking? She didn't want to walk. That was tiring. Meh. Okay, back to the talk.
Frown. Frown. The Hufflepuff wasn't sure. Oh, she hoped they were alright. Erin, and Mordred, Indy, Spike, Cass, Louisa, Daichi, Vickers, gaaaah! All of her friends..even Dylan. Oh, and why was Rich still in the compartment?! SIIIIIIGH.
"You're right. I just wish they were somewhere close so we know what's happening to them." But, really..what can she do?

Or until she made them walk. Whichever came first. "Prefects, keep your peers calm. No magic. If you stand up, I will assume you have an emergency and will be need a professor escort." She gave them all the evil-eye. No one had better make her do THAT.
...then somebody out of nowhere bustled into the compartment.
EHHHHHH?
The woman was giving instructions, and she found herself nodding. The woman spoke of authority eventhough her identity was still a mystery to Beezus. Sitting down, okay. She was crumbled on the floor of the train alright. No magic, we hear ye. Beezus however, checked her wand on her holster, making sure if it was there in case there were exceptions to the "NO MAGIC" order.
"Understood Maa'm.." Beezus uttered. Now, can you please introduce yourself? So we don't get too scared? Pleeeeeeeeeaaseee?

Blood? There was blood? Kurumi could feel her stomach tying in knots already at the sheer mention of the word, but now was so NOT the time to faint...even if she sort of wanted to.
"Alice! Are you okay?" Kurumi called, her eyes squinting a bit in the darkness. Hey, maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. She couldn't actually SEE anything, which meant that she couldn't see the blood, which meant that she wouldn't faint, which meant only good things. "Think it is about time you finally got your hands on one of my cookies..."
That offer went for everyone, by the way.
Kurumi looked out the window again when she had a stroke of luck with her thoughts. "Of course! I've seen him at Hogwarts before. He came here to teach some of the Apparition lessons. He works for the Ministry of Magic."
OH. SHE WAS THE HEADMISTRESS.
Beezus heaved a relieved sigh. Fortunately, she hadn't voiced out her questions about the woman's identity. There wasn't time for "a student who doesn't read the Prophet so she doesn't know what their new Headmistress looks like" as of the moment. Heh. Good idea she called her Maa'm. Nod. Nod.
Ugh. BLOOD?! Why was there blood?
"Who's bleeding?" she asked no one in particular.
When Kurumi offered the cookies, Beezus shook her head, bent her knees, pulled it close to her chest and rested her head on her kneecaps.
"Oh? Maybe he can do something to fix the train then!" Since he probably was someone from the Magical Transportation Department since he administered Apparition Exams. That ought to keep their spirits up for the meantime.
