Finally getting the herd of students to the Great Hall, the professor was relieved to see the Great Hall transformed into the perfect sleeping area. She glanced at the other sleeping areas and gave each professor a little knowing up and down nod. ....yes atleast they were all in for a long night.

She smiled, a little nervously, as she thought about the predicament and tried to figure out what could've caused this.....was it an outside threat or something within the castle....how long would they be locked out...what was the Headmistress' plan to get this figured out.

Gemma continued thinking as she stepped out the door and towards the kitchens....returning a few minutes later with a few trays of hot chocolate floating in front of her. She flicked her wand and the trays stopped in the air.

"Would any of my lovely Ravvies like a cup of hot chocolate before we get to bed for the night..." yes she was using the tactic that her parents used...give the kids something warm and they would quiet down and go to sleep quicker.
