"We could try casting colloportus on the windows Graínne. It's the only locking charm I can think of at the top of my head. It will be more effective if we cast it together. If it doesn't work you can sit on my shoulders." Getting professors would be their last option if all other ideas failed. Producing her wand Ellie casted "Colloportus!" at the nearest open windows. |
Marvellous, more students to help keep that bloody thing out. While the Headmaster was no less unnerved by the the mist just on the other side of the now magically sealed door, he found himself having to draw for all his strength for the sake of the students who’d already jumped into action. The man might have asked why they thought to physically close the windows when they had wands but thankfully the suggestion was made and things could go more smoothly. Good. Excellent. “You girls seal every window you can find here, I’m going to go make a run around, check to see if there’s other places that need fortifying.” And grabbing a few extra professors on the way. The mist was now at their door. If he could help it, it would stay there. Malachi gave a final glance around the entrance hall to ensure nothing was seeping in before turning and heading off at a jog. |
Different TL One late morning in March, while everyone is hard at work in lessons fortunately in the upper floors, the mist finds its way inside the castle. It settles low, having poured in through an open corridor not far from the entrance hall and quickly covers the entire ground floor. Curiously, it stops just at the bottom of the staircases, not ascending to the first floor but that doesn’t stop it from following all the passageways and making its way lower. |
It was eerie how silent the castle sometimes seemed with the fog just outside there door and it did absolutely nothing to calm his already erratic nerves. Those disappearances? They were just icing on top of a rather pungent cake he was being forced to eat and the thought never failed to send his stomach into knots. The report he had to send to the parents...the board...the minister. Even now, it didn’t make sense to him. What had they been doing outside in the first place? How could he prevent others from deciding the mist wasn’t dangerous enough to be taken seriously? The thoughts clouded his mind but not so much that he didn’t notice the mist the MOMENT he hit the top of the staircase. There it was. Down below. It...but how....wha..... Malachi felt his blood run cold instantly and made an immediate beeline for the direction he’d just come from. The only thought that kept him from true panic was that he’d checked the schedules before leaving his office. After the next period, he intended to have an assembly with everyone down in the great hall and was getting an early start. The students were upstairs. Breathe Malachi. The students were upstairs. He kept repeating this to himself over and over as he dashed up a second set of stairs. The greater the distance he created, the better. The man had an announcement to make. It was IN the castle.
