As for the other questions floating around the room, Ella didn't have anything to add. Honestly she just wanted to go find Alec and sit with him for a bit. She was feeling really tired and all this talk about the school closing was making her lightheaded.
Sophie sort of held her breath as she waited for that Governor over there to respond to her offer. She was no Gryffindor and wasn't fond of jumping head first into danger, but this was her YOUTH she was talking about here. She didn't want to admit that she was chicken to go by herself, but then--...
She didn't have to! She'd just nominate somebody!
"I'd like the Head Girl to go with me if I go," she said. Sorry, Ella.
"You know, safety in numbers and the such." Also, if somebody had to get eaten or something, Sophie would nominate Ella then, too. Besides, the Head Girl seemed to have some sort of connection with the woman anyway. Had she been...her professor?
