A silver patronus in the form of a bald eagle zooms into the office and delivers it's urgent message. "Piers, someone has sent up S.O.S sparks on the grounds. I'm going out to investigate accompanied by Gryffindor student Victor Bay. Please come and join us. I fear that the person(s) who sent up the sparks might be in danger or even in the worst case injured. Please hurry!"

After the message was delivered the silver eagle dissolved and vanished.
