... All students will report immediately to their Common Rooms. You will remain their until given further instructions from your Head of House...
The announcement had rang through the hallways and Allegra promptly complied. It was no surprise she was the first one in the common room. Most of the others had gone to Hogsmeade and while the ominous announcement hadn't given a reason as to why they were confined to quarters, she had a terrible feeling that it had something to do with the outing. Worried for her housemates, she wandered to the window, hoping to catch a glimpse of someone coming up the road and back to the castle.

Grumbling, Charon entered the common room. He was a bit annoyed that the Hogsmeade trip had been cut short, and didn't know why. Sure, he'd heard rumors, but it was everything from a student or teacher's death to the headmistress announcing her marriage. Students at this school gossip too much, he thought. And there was no way to sort truth from falsehood.
He collapsed into a chair and waited for someone, anyone to come in and explain why he'd had to end his time with Rael early.

Carter walked briskly into the common room, and the portrait swung closed behind him, only to find another older girl in the room and another older boy. Carter had been in the library when he had heard the announcement. He tucked the book under his arm mand headed here. he found a seat somewher at a table. It didn't matter if they were empty because all they all were except for where the other boy sat.. The other girl occupied the front seat out the window.
"Hi," he said to no one in particular. "Have any clue what this is about?" He was stumped and he wanted to be enlightened to the situation.

Allegra shook her head in answer to the younger boy... she recognized him as Carter, a second year, but hadn't officaly met him yet. She turned to Charon instead. "Did you go to Hogsmeade? Do you know what's going on?" she asked, worry etched on her face.

"I did go to Hogsmeade, but i don't know what's going on," Charon replied. "Everyone's talking about what might have happened, but I've heard everything from someoone dying to someone getting married. And aside from throwing out the ludicrous ideas, like a giant puffskein going on a rampage, there's not way to figure out what's true."
The afternoon was going to be so much fun, too. If only whatever had happened hadn't happened.

Kellen didn't know what was happening, and it was driving him mad. He walked quickly up to the castle, hearing bits of gossip from other students who moaned and complained along the way that the trip was cut short. He didn't want to correct them or tell them to stop, but he knew it wouldn't have been ended early for something small.
Something had happened, and he didn't know what. By the time he got up to the common room, he would have given a kidney to find out the truth.

The minutes passed and Allegra grew more anxious, jumping at every movement by the entrance. "Kellen..." Allegra cried out as soon as he stept through the prtal, not even thinking before running up to him and throwing her arms around his neck. "My brother... where's my brother?"

Lily rubbed the sleep from her eyes as she made her way down the steps. The announcement had woken her. She had been sleeping a lot since she came back from Germany. "What the heck is going on? Kellen? Allegra?" She looked to them. One of them had to know what was going on, they had too.

Samuel walked in and heard a few people. He then walked up to Allegra and the rest of the gang, "My brother was talking to me about it when he came back," he said to them. He was pretty scared himself, was Hogwarts going to be shut down?

CHaron sat up quickly at the younger boy's announcement. "Does he know what's going on? What did he say?" he asked eagerly. Finally, he'd get some answers. The sooner answers started getting out, the sooner things would get back to normal. And the sooner things got back to normal, the sooner another Hogsmeade trip could be scheduled. Which was something he wanted greatly.

He looked at Charon seeing he was worried about this, "U-uh, he said that a professor was murdered. Um, that uh, Anicent Runes teacher, she was killed. But he said that him and four other students had to go to Professor Ticloon's office for questioning while everyone else had to stay in their common room, since they found the body," he said to Charon. All of it was the truth, he then looked around the rest of the common room.

"So that's what happened," Charon mused as he sat back. He gave it a bit more credibility than everything else he'd heard, since he heard this from a housemate whose brother was actually being questioned about it. "I wonder why somebody'd want to kill an ancient runes teacher." Things definitely wouldn't go back to normal quickly now, not after a murder/

( hmm... lemme make up something... lets say Samuel say, "Whats going on," then Tristan said, "The Ancient Runes teacher was murdered, we are going for questioning, now leave!" so it would of took him like 10 seconds to say that )
