It had been a rough week, for several reasons. News of happenings traveled fast and Finneas was just about reaching his breaking point. The only thing keeping him going was keeping outwardly focused on his students. That, and the adrenaline.

Coincidentally, the adrenaline is also what got him out of bed this morning (rather clumsily, mind you). In his haste, he managed to get dressed, putting on a pair of khakis, a button up, and a sweater vest (which he may have put on ... backwards). Then, after he had slipped on his pair of trusty loafers, he quickly made his way out the door and towards the courtyard as fast as his twitchy body would allow. Upon arrival, he noticed two of the muggleborn students (Ashley and Moose) sticking together on one side of the gathered crowd. And so, instinctively, Finneas bumbled his way over towards them to stand just behind.

Whatever this could be, it would not be good.

It had to be. Emmerson startled awake at the alarm, instantly clinging to her bestfriend while reaching for her wand. Her eyes, believe it or not, were still closed. They didn't open until she heard the booming voice of Headmaster Rosier and something about the will to live. Courtyard. What time was i--10 minutes?????

Forget thinking, forget understanding what was going on. Emmerson jumped from the bed in her PJs, blindly reaching around for the bestfriend. When she got hold of her, it was nothing but running with eyes half open. Her head was pounding from the sudden awakening and she was clumsy from the sleepiness.

Still, Emm stumbled them there. It was funny how....fully the sleep left her when she got a look around. Not only was Rosier there, he'd brought a lot of his goons. The atmosphere was heavy, leaving her no doubt something was up. Emmerson felt herself shrinking under so many unfriendly gazes. She kept a firm grip on Kizzy, already sure she wouldn't like wherever this went.
Huh?

Kinsay was, by all means, a morning person. She was always one of the first to wake up in the dorm no matter how late she had gone to bed the night before. This, unfortunately, meant that she cherished every wink of sleep she could get. And because her internal clock wasn't meant to wake her up for another 1.5 hours, she woke up to the blaring alarms in a state of pure panic.

She didn't even have time to rub the sleep out of her eyes when Emm jumped out of bed, signaling that Kizzy needed to do the same. Luckily she managed to grab her wand, but didn't even have time to put on a pair of slippers before she was pulled out of the room. Still half asleep, she stumbled alongside the best friend as they made their way to the courtyard, where ... Headmaster Rosier ... and the Hoods ... and the others were waiting for them. Kiz felt a drop in her stomach and though she had been pretty sleepy before, she was wide awake now. And because she didn't want to look over at the Headmaster, she looked everywhere else instead: at Moose who she wished would stand near them, at Hufflepuff Cal who was wearing just one sock, at Ashley Fox whose gaze she would rather avoid, at one of the older students, and then at her own, bare feet.
