"Huh?" She looked from the professor to Emmerson and back to the professor. "I think there's a Divination class going on, Professor K."

There was never a wrong time to be cheeky, heh.

"THE ghost. The new one. That has been causing issues. Or haven't you seen him? He flew straight through me at one point. I should get it checked out." She sighed again, preparing to be ignored. And then, the oddest words came out of her mouth. "HONESTLY, I just want my treasure BACK. JUST GIVE IT BACK. It's NOT. THAT. HARD. I AM BEING SO OBVIOUS. YOU WILL ALL PAY." Ahem. "Anyway," she continued in a normal tone, rubbing at her temples, "He wants his treasure back, but the headmaster won't give it to him." Hmmm. Everything around here seemed to be the headmaster's fault. She wished he would just get fired or something. "Because he already spent it. So that's fun. But the point is, the students sound like the ghost. No idea why. But we aren't faking anything." She gave the professor a look that said clearly, So are you going to believe me or are you going to regret not believing me?

Plus her partner was here, so she had to stay.

"It's our treasure, Professor. Me and Kale opened it fair and square. Finders keepers. It's not FAIR the Headmaster got to keep it and decide what we do with it. The ghost shot through me and Kale, not him and we were the only ones brave enough to open it in the first place. Now they're both fighting over who gets to keep it and no one's asked us about it."

No one asked before jumping into them and possessing them either, JUST SAYING. There seemed to be a lot of not asking going around these days.

"Say, d'you think you can convince him to share it with us, Professor? I'm not asking for much, just what's fair. If we're all doomed, we should at least be able to enjoy it, too."

"Let me go talk to the Professor, and then we can find a spot to play with the snakes, ok? But are you ill? You look unwell."

In the meantime, she had to deal with the professor, who seemed a bit HIGH STRUNG, if y'know what it means. That, plus Bernie was yelling, and some other kid was threatening people, and Phoebe felt like maaaaaaaaybe the class had gotten a bit over control. "Hey, Prof... Emm says we're doomed, so maybe it's time to end class? I don't feel particularly doomed, although did you know your box has a hole in it and all your snakes got out? Seems dangerous."

End class? Pheebs wanted to end class just when the drama started getting GOOD? Bernie could confirm that ol' ghost face had flown through her, and showed this by nodding as Ashley spoke, but she didn't know squat about the treasure. For example, she hadn't known that REALLY it was Emmerson's treasure.

"Well it makes sense that Kale's dad tried to keep it, because that's a total dad thing to do," she chimed in with a big eyeroll on behalf of the Headmaster. Especially this year. He'd been THE WORST this year, even more ornery than usual.

Besides all that, "I think really it's Emmerson's treasure, and you know how finders keepers works, so shouldn't SHE get to keep it? Isn't that what people do, go around 'discovering' things and then keeping them because they think they got to them first?" AND Bernie had a secondary reason for wanting Emmerson to have the treasure: "If we get the gold back for ya, mate, could you let me have some? I'm poor." True story.

Though... how WERE they going to get the treasure back when Bernie was pretty sure it had been used on a swimming pool and stuff like that?

Well this was all just, she didn't even know what it was all really, but whatever was going on Cassie was starting to get very concerned. She had known about the treasure, Merlin, she had helped decorate some of the areas with the money they had used from this treasure, but a ghost? She had heard a few whispers, but this was just not okay.

"We are all going to calm down and no one is ending class." She eyed Phoebe before turning to face all of them. "If a ghost is really.." She stopped as Ashley started with the voice, "ENOUGH, be gone from the children." She had never yelled at a ghost before and it probably wouldn't work, but it was worth a shot. Cassie checked for the other students as she tried to figure out what was really going on.

"Have any of you checked the library to see if there is a ghost mentioned or a hidden treasure, so we could see who we are dealing with?" She wasn't sure if that was a start, but if they could figure out who maybe they could figure out how to get rid of them.

Of course, Divination was still hocus-pocus in her book so said interpretations may mean nothing. But if they did, did it mean that dangers was definitely going to be in the direction of the pathways as opposed to the duck pond? And if so, what kind of danger?

Claudine was trying to put all that she knew had happened so far this school term by the time she returned to the Lake. As for Slythers? He was being carried by his human friend for the day. "Professor, should I return him to the crate now?''

"Yes, if you are finished you can place them back in the crate." She glanced at her watch, "Oh goodness the time." Hurrying back towards the crates she gave a loud whistle to get all the students attention.

"I hope your snakes were helpful and showed you if there was any danger lurking around." Glancing at the girls she wondered if the snakes could sense the ghost at all, maybe she would ask them later. "Alright everyone I think for safety reasons and time we will end the lesson here. It might be best if you head straight to your next class or your common rooms if you have a break." She might need to go find the headmaster to see what was really going on.

**sorry for the delay, class has ended. I will leave it open for 24 hours for anyone that needs to catch up!
