getting the bag and tossing it over his shoulder he starts to whistle the tune to the Andy Griffin show as he followes the big man out of the castle

Nika looked in shock at the news. "Well I think it's alright now. I don't think it's such a big deal anyways."

"You can go if you want, but I'm going to ask either the head or Gevrik about that book. So you can help me explain it, or I'll see you in the common room." Emily told her. She was not being mean in saying this. It was either something or it wasn't. They would tell her if it was! Either way Emily was staying, with or without Nika.

Nika didn't want to leave Emily, but she was sure they were just making a big deal over nothing. "Anyways I don't really think that they would be much help. I think we are better off asking the librarian. I mean the library is her specialty, is it not?

Jake watched as the girls nearby conversed and for one fleeting moment, he froze when he thought they were going to go see Tate rather than Gevrik (it seemed they were there for him in the first place). That might have meant that, even though they were switching 'targets' they were still here first and Jake may have to wait longer.

No.

He couldn't have that.

But it didn't matter; they appeared to want to go see the librarian, an obscure figure to Jake he'd only seen out of the corners of his eyes at feasts. But anyway... he was still first... and all the better, because he NEEDED to tell Tate about Lafay. He turned to the gargoyle and spoke again.

"Kinda really important."

Ah.

"Me," Jake said at the man's question.

Oh. Wait...

Not as important. Eh, never mind.

Jake readjusted his bag on his shoulder and looked at the man with what was now a SLIGHTLY calmer expression. Potions was probably over by now, but that had really only given time for his irritation to fester.

"Ah." It seemed he was doomed to repeat visitors from a series of seventh years, but Tate had some free time at the moment - he wasn't overly concerned by Upstead's reappearance.

"Well then... after you." He gestured toward the stairs.


ooc: You can post in the office.

Ellie walked down the hall and found herself face to face with the giant Gargoyles. Scarier in person. She'd never been to the Headmaster's office before.Never spoken a single word to the Headmaster. Never been within four feet of the man. Better late than never, right? Right.

In all honesty, she had no idea what to do. She needed a password right? But she didn't have one. If she spoke, could Tate hear her...? Or would she just look like an idiot..?

"Er... Headmaster..? She asked hesitantly.

Yeah, she definitely looked like an idiot.

The gargoyle sprang to the side at the direction of the Headmaster in his office.


ooc: Whoever is next can go ahead and post in my office. Be orderly!

Cass was coming to see the Headmaster after talking to his Head of House about a question he had, and she felt the Headmaster was the right one to ask about it. As he approached the two gargoyles, he looked around the area to see who else may be there. It was also a habit he had developed over the years of training under his mother and her teachers and one he did not plan on stopping.

Speaking to the Gargoyles, "Cass Sato-Rhodes to see the Headmaster." And then taking a seat to wait. All the while listening and looking around, it was also his first time to come to the Headmasters office for any reason in his two years here.

Emily had run across the grounds and through the castle... coming to a stop out the front of the Headmasters office she glared at the gargoyles.
"I have an emergency, I need to speak to the headmaster now!" she yelled. She was becoming frantic.
"Its really important! It concerns our safety!"

___________________

After waiting some minutes Emily decided the matter was too urgent and went in search of other teachers... at this stage any adult would be sufficient.
She raced away, hoping perhaps Kyle had found some help by now.

Perhaps she'd go back to the front gate, make sure the muggles didn;t get passed K-lee.

Ellie sprinted up to the Gargoyles. There was no time to waste.

"Headmaster! Tate! Hurry up!" She yelled frantically. No time for manners either, apparently.

"Sir, there's muggles on the grounds! It's kind of... bad." She continued loudly, not even sure if he could hear her.

So Ellie stood there, waiting. Hopefully he was in there.

OHRIGHT. Ellie sighed, frustrated. She cursed under her breath. Deputy Headmaster? I have no idea... Are all of the staff at the party? Or just Tate?" She asked. What a baaad time to be gone!

Or maybe they planned this as a prank.... HAH, right.

Ellie nodded, reassured that at least one professor was on his way. It was about time.

"I don't know about a potion... Ellie was always terrible at potions. "But there's the spell Obliviate. That'll wipe their memory of what they've seen..." She told Kyle.

*invading just 'cause I can* Plus, to help you both out.
 

"But how did they get here? Wouldn't they have had to go through the Platform 9 and 3/4?" That was the part that really bothered Ellie. Didn't they have to be magic-folk to get onto the platform?

This was baaad.

Halle stopped infront of the gargoyles. It wasnt something completely important, but she wanted permission to take photos of the grounds and to maybe have some type of art club (she wasn't really sure if there was one or not or if they were aloud), even if not the club she hoped to be able to take pictures of the scenery. The trees by the lake were magnificiant, they would make good black and white prints. She took a deep breath and waited by the wall, out of the way of other people. Her camera was hooked around her neck and her binder of photographs were in her shoulder bag. She took another deep breath closed her eyes and hoped.
