"This is the Headmaster's Office, then?" she mused aloud more to herself than to the others, who all seemed a bit too distraught for her to want to bother them.
She stared at the gargoyle for a moment, waiting for something to happen. Were they to answer a riddle like the entrance to the Ravenclaw common room? She had never found cause to visit Headmistress Rae last term, so she was unsure of how to proceed. After a moment's thought, the young Ravenclaw decided to pull out her wand and gently tapped it twice on the gargoyle's head, waiting for a response.
Coming down from Headmaster Bontecou's office, to inspect what he thought were voices, the Divination Professor saw a young Ravenclaw student from his class and couldn't quite supress a smile at her clever descision to go about problem-solving the situation with the Gargoyle.
"
It is a password that allows you to pass." He said, almost with regret at giving away the puzzle for her. "
You need a Professor to escort you or the Headmaster to call you in."
Moving away from the steps, he further saw that two very alarmed looking Hufflepuffs were waiting, along with a Gryffindor and yet, still, another Huffie.
"
Two at a time. If you ladies wouldn't mind, it looks like these two younger years have urgent business." He said, gesturing to the two Hufflepuffs to come up first.[/QUOTE]

"
Yes, please." He said, re-affirming the conjecture of one of the younger Hufflepuffs.
