"Nothing doing for the moment, I'm afraid." As in, no evacuation just yet. "The ministry's working on a plan for accommodations over in Hogsmeade. Until then, the plan is to avoid like we are now and try to prevent any further losses." He hated sitting around and waiting as much as he was sure everyone else did but that would have to be the game plan.

The Headmaster spared a glance behind him as he walked. "If it's gotten into this corridor, it's likely in others on this floor as well. This will be ...unpleasant." To say the least.

Cornish was eager to let the Headmaster convince him to leave, and he didn't feel remotely like a coward as he hurried back up the corridor. The amount of time he'd spent in the mist previously was exactly as much as he ever wanted to spend there. No more, thanks.

"Nothing isn't a very satisfying answer, sir," Cornish grumbled, slowing down once they were well clear of the corridor and shoving his fists into his pockets. "We can figure out accommodations on the fly, but if the mist rises much further, it'll cut off our access to the Floo network. Perhaps a series of portkeys, but I'd rather be clear of it, honestly."

Unpleasant? That was one word for it.
