"Right you are, Mr. Branxton," he said as he gave the boy a quick salute before tending to a section of the wall himself with some well pointed Scourgify casting. "Each of you take 5 points for your cleaning efforts, even if you had nothing to do with it being there in the first place." There was a lesson here about joining together to defend their school, but he knew if he were in students' shoes at the moment he would definitely not want to hear about that, so he left those thoughts unsaid for the time being. Which got him to thinking about...the whole scene.
"Did any of you see anything to give any indication as to who did this?"
And he was going to assume that a field trip into the Chamber was not necessary since no one was panicking. Which was sort of a pity because he wouldn't have minded spelunking down there with Tiberius.
Marcus and Caleb got five points for helping clean up a mess they didn't create?! Meh. Should be ten, at least on Caleb's part, but it was something. Might get Sophie to going in a minute or two, at least.
Oh? Now he was asking if anybody saw anything that might be of help?
"Ahem," she said, clearing her throat.
"I don't really know who did this, but that French girl might," she said.
"Sorry. I don't know her name, but I can point her out. When I was walking up to Lex and Caleb here, the French girl was walking away. Maybe she saw what happened."
Sophie still wondered why their guests were staying in the castle anyway. The next round of that competition wasn't until the spring, so it wasn't like they couldn't return and go back to their regular studies at their own school in the meantime. Was the Apparition system broke down or something?
