The Great Hall is flanked by two large, thick, wooden doors that often make a BANG! sound when flung open by dramatic students and/or staff. There are large glass windows at the end of the Hall above the staff dais, the usual enchanted ceiling over everyone, and the four regular house tables lined up neatly in the middle.
Whether you make an entrance or choose to simply enter the Great Hall, you'll still be wowed by its size and architecture every time.
leaving the great hall.. will link people at next location.

Not that he really thought anywhere was safe at the moment, given what had earlier transpired..
He listened as the librarian spoke up, looking for volunteers to go with him and Romanos, and he turned to Minnie. "I think we should go with Bentley.. she's the plant expert," he said in a low voice to the girl next to her. And not only was she a Herbologist, but he also heard that she specialized in flesh-eaters. Though the DADA professor might be well-equipped to handle dark forces.. he still thought a plant expert was their best bet. Looking over at the Herbology professor, Ethan spoke up and said, "Professor Bentley.. might we go with you?" Her expertise was the one he felt safest with at the moment..
"Sure," Seren mused in response, "It should be an interesting lesson for you... should we find it."
And now, she was officially excited. Plants, were just misunderstood, dragging off a person, or a Professor at that, was... normal ... playful behaviour. It was.
"Right, perhaps we ought to look outside? If it took off, it might have thought to seek shelter and camouflage."
To the garden? The greenhouses?
She gave Lafay a nod of the head. Was she cool with this?
At any rate, they couldn't waste time standing around. Turning sharply on her heel, Seren headed back out into the grounds, with a new spring in her step.

Lex weighed her options carefully for a moment before finally coming to a decision. What the Charm Professor said made sense. Professor Elwood might have been able to put that whole crystal ball using, future seeing, dark aura sensing thing to good use.
"I'll go with you as well Professor Bellaire!" And by extension both the Divination and Transfiguration Professors. This just meant more people to protect her. There were three of them in her group; no safer place much? Where would they be searching though? Professor Romanos and her group was headed for the Dungeon and Professor Bentley was taking her's to the Greenhouse. That didn't leave many places to go checking; a plant could only be in so many places after all...
"Are we going to be checking the grounds or somewhere in the castle?" Either way they had an equal chance of finding it--the bloody thing had made it all the way to the Astronomy Tower!

Minerva smiled at Ethan and then listened as people started saying which professor they were going to go with. She had no clue who to go with and was on edge enough from all her interaction with this plant already when she heard Ethan say about going with Bentley. Well that did make sense she did know a lot, but if they found the plant would she kill it or try to save it. Min wanted to see it chopped up and many many pieces, so she wasn't sure if this was going to be the best option, but she wasn't going to say no to Ethan.
Looking at Professor Bentley she smiled, "Yes, I'll go with you as well Professor." She wasn't going different then Ethan that was for sure. Watching Bentley she noticed that she was about the only one looking excited about this. Well it was her line of knowledge, so of course she was excited. Feeling a bit tense she followed and got ready to head out and search for the plant.

So they were supposed to pair up with Professors? Initially Kat thought it would just be prefects, head students, and captains who would lead but I guess the Professors took in mind that all students should be under their care as well. COUGH. Now where did Truebridge think she was? Wasn't she supposed to be here as well? Or maybe she was having a talk with the governors... well, whatevs.
"I'll go with you, Professor Romanos," the blonde said to the DADA professor then faced the Librarian *slash* other Gobstones adviser. "And Mr. Kitridge." Kat wanted to join Lafay's group though, but it seemed that she's already got a Ravenclaw and that announcer puff, Minerva, on her hands. Kat knows Lafay doesn't really like too much kids around. The Slytherin got her wand out of the holster and gripped it tight. She didn't want to lose her wand at the process of saving the world Hogwarts.

So she was standing and watching how students were pairing up with professors. So she was supposed to do the same. She considered which professors to join. She immediately thought of the librarian but he and the DADA professor already had two students with them. So did Lafay and Bentley. And that only left her Bellaire,Elwood and Magnus...right? She walked towards Lex and stood next to her. "Hey Lex I think I'll join you." She whispered to her friend. Because it was nice to be around someone you know while on danger. And because being with three Professors was safer than being with two. Right?
"Can I join you too Professor Bellair...Professor Elwood and Professor Magnus.." They were together right?Well, she should go with someone surely she wasn't going alone.

Well, it didn't take long for a gathering to form at the entrance. At least her message had got through and some of them had been listening. Even better that they wanted to help. Not only because it meant they could keep an eye on them while they hunted, but because the more the merrier. They had to find this thing - and hopefully Marion.
Isabelle grinned as each of the kids arrived, and nodded to them as they mentioned helping. "It would be much appreciated," she said, twiddling her wand between her fingers, not daring to put it away as it could quite possibly be needed on their search.
Looking over at Sophia as she spoke, Issy nodded her head in agreement. "All right then, so that gives us three search parties. A decent number." As the others sorted out who was going with who, Alexa and Cassia decided to go with them. "Of course you can, girls." That made two kids and three professors. "Does anyone else want to join me, Professor Bellaire and Professor Ellwood before we set off for..." Hmm, where? If Leo and Medea were taking the dungeons, and Seren and Hecate the grounds, that left -- the upstairs. "Maybe the Astronomy tower? Or at least work our way up there..."
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
She was confident that going with them was the right choice. The Charms Professor would know at least one protection charm, the Divination Professor would have been able to at least warn them that something bad would happen and the Transfiguration Professor to make them things they might need along the way. Perfeeect.
It was even better when Cassia agreed to join their awesome search team. "Great, we'll totally be able to take this thing down." She whispered back. And if they couldn't well the Professors would be there to make sure they never got eaten, right? RIGHT.
There was the suggestion! The plant was very likely to be somewhere close to the Astronomy Tower because that's where it grabbed the Astronomy Professor. "Good thinking Professor! Maybe the plant never got very far with the Professor." Which meant there was still a chance that they'd find her.

Very well. They would go with Alexa and Cassia...first years..who were likely to slow them down. At least they would be able to save two students if anything. She nodded at Magnus and the two who volunteered.
"I think we should work our way out so let's perhaps start at the entrance gate then the corridor to the grounds then we search the floors. The other parties can handle the rest of the grounds. Let's go."
She gripped her wand tightly and cast one last glance at Leo before continuing out of the entrance hall.

Everyone was grouping up quickly, and Penelope wasn't sure if they were trying to spread out evenly or just choosing at random, but eventually it seemed they'd split into three groups, and two of them were already heading off to start their search, so it looked like she didn't really have a choice who to go with now. Unless she decided to go alone, of course, which she didn't actually want. So this was fine really. She liked Professor Romanos well enough and the librarian guy seemed okay too, even though she didn't spend much time in the library if she could avoid it.
She walked over to their group which Laura and Kat were already a part of. "I'll join you guys too then," she said, drawing her wand now as well.

Leaning over a little to glance at the parchment given to Isabelle, her frown deepened. Oh dear. Hands placed on her hips as she leaned back, a deep breath taken, Medea glanced towards the students who decided to join them in search of the plant and their astronomy professor.
Goodness, some of them were indeed a little young too.
The professor's gaze slowly turned to Leo. Oh? He was talking to her? "Yes, alright." she nodded, letting out the breath she had been holding. Her knowledge on plants didn't extend too far, but she did know that some didn't like sunlight. Perhaps the vinora was the same.
Of course, Laura volunteered to come with them. "Alright then." Medea sighed quietly with a glance to the entrance doors. "Vand at the ready, Miss Hyde." While she agreed that keeping the students together in one area was probably best, she also would have agreed upon keeping them away from any...windows. The plant, a PLANT, somehow got it's way up to the astronomy tower unnoticed.

Laura hoped that the Professor would let her go with the DADA Professor because it would mean she had someone who she could trust, she also didn't want to have to stay with Alexa because that girl was just so annoying.

Leo smiled at the three girls as they came over to him and Medea. Pulling out his own wand he echoed Medea's order's from earlier. "Wands out Katrina and Cora. We won't know where the plant can be lurking." Speaking off that he got a bad feeling in the pit of stomach. What if the plant had struck his library and prized books again?
Trying to breath and not panic Leo said. "Let's go check the library before we head down to the dungeons. The plant must have been responsible for the ripped books disaster from earlier in the term."
From the corner of his eye he exchanged a last glance with Sophia before she and her group departed the Great Hall. Turning to Medea and the girls the bookman said "Come on then, we have a plant to find!"
Turning on his heel, Leo left the Great Hall hoping that the kids that were not taking part in the search was going to head back to the safety of their common rooms.

Hold the phone. Cora? Who is Cora? Kat tilted her head a bit. Maybe Mr. Kitridge was hallucinating or something. The search part was consisted by Laura, Penelope, and Kat. What is Cora doing with that? "Uhmm, Mr. Kitridge," Kat said. "Who's Cora? And, I believe this is Penelope." Heh. Mr. Kitridge loved to make different names for people. Like last time he called Kat Katherine. Very funny.
Aha, so they were about to leave. Kat looked back at the two other students in the search party, Laura and Penelope. She was the eldest of the three so maybe she could help in guiding them as well. Role model, fyi. Then Kat strode following the Librarian.

The library?
More stairs.
Well, she wouldn't say no to checking one's domain though. The stairs and her WILL become buddy-buddy after this was all over, she was sure of it. "Alrighty then." she agreed, glancing to the three girls who would be joining them, having completely missed Leo's slip up with names until Katrina said something about it. Oh?
Names aside, Medea claimed the heel of the group as they made their way to the library.
