Ella wasn't one to intrude or make waves.

Honestly, she wasn't even sure what had possessed her to come the Board of Governors Board Room but she was here and it had taken her ages and she'd come to far to back out now. She could already here heightened voices though with her hearing, she had NO idea what was being said. And she was petrified that she was going to get in trouble for this but she was just so tired of this. Literally too and she was concerned because of Quidditch and the extra stress and she had a future to plan only now it seemed more likely she'd need to plan a funeral at the rate she was aging and Merlin help her, the eighteen year old was on the verge of a mental breakdown. And so the aged Head Girl tentatively put her hand on the door knob and let herself inside, noting that she wasn't the only student who had heard rumors there would be a meeting here today. At least she'd have back up.

The anger and making demands thing, though? In Ella's experience you got more with honey than vinegar and so she very slowly, and all the while clutching her back, stepped forward and cleared her throat.

"I'm so sorry to interrupt." Not really, actually, and that was a first. "It's just, clearly my fellow students and I are scared and worried and well, aging." She gave looks to Lex and Adi, encouraging ones but ones she hoped said to calm down because she didn't want to get kicked out before she was heard. "And I...we mean no disrespect by coming in here but we're trying to learn and to be kids and we can't do that like this. I...I'm eighteen and I feel like...well like how I imagine a 75 year old woman would feel and this isn't right." Helpless looks for you, Board of Governors. And because she didn't want to throw the Headmistress under the bus, she hastily added. "I'm sure the school has been doing everything they can to help but maybe with additional brain power, it can be sorted and just..."

"Just...can you please help us. ...Please."
