"I thought I saw Drew go off with Professor Davenport," Kellen told Allegra. "I'm not sure where they were going, but I'm sure they're fine." He sighed heavily. "But beyond that I'm as clueless as everybody else--and I don't know if that story's true, Sam. Let's wait until a professor tells us what's going on, all right?"

The talk of dead bodies did not help Allegra's anxiety. "With Davenport... He's okay? He's okay, right?" She realized at that point that she had Kellen in a death grip and suddenly let him go.

"I do believe he just said that," Charon commented. "And I'm more than sure that if your brother wasn't, Kellen would have told you." He was still focused on the idea of the teacher being killed. It made much more sense, given the circumstances, than all the other theories he'd heard. The motive still failed him. UNless she had been killed by Dark wizards for some reason. But even that didn't make much sense to him. Why would she be wanted dead by any sort of Dark orginization? There were too many links missing for him to connect the dots, and he didn't exactly like it. As soon as someone who knew what was going on came in, he was going to pump them for information. Someone who wasn't a teacher, that was.

"Hey, back off Charon," Kellen said tersely. Tensions were running high and the last thing they needed was some snarky remark. Besides, Kellen knew he'd be reacting the same way if it were his brother, and bet that anybody else in the room would feel the same way.
"He's fine, Allegra," he said, turning back to his friend in an assuring tone. "And he's with a professor. I'm sure he'll be back here soon."

Gail couldn't believe it. She had been ready to head out of the castle and into Hogsmeade. On her way, she had been ambushed by a teacher and herded back into the castle. As she headed back to Ravenclaw Tower, she had heard the news - a professor was dead.
As she entered the Tower, she noticed that Allegra, the Head Girl, seemed to be in a panic. In fact, the whole of Ravenclaw House was in chaos.
Gail quickly crossed the common room and tapped Allegra on the shoulder so she could check in. With any luck, she could find a quiet corner and gather some more information.

Warwick followed that fifth year through the portrait hole. As she moved on he surveyed the scene; the whole room was in a panic. He decided better of asking questions just yet as half the people in their looked like they were ready to wet themselves. He quietly moved to a corner in the room where he took off his hat and sat down with an eye to the door. He took out the book he was lucky to get from the library before he was rudely sent out of the library and began to read.

"Excuse me for trying to help calm someone down," Charon muttered under his breath. It was doubtful anyone else had heard that one, but he preferred it that way. If anyone had heard, they'd be yelling at him again, and that would break his concentration. Which was not something he wanted or needed right now. Though it was proving impossible, he was going to try ot figure this out before everyone else found out. But every time he thought he had something useful, he found himself facing a mental brick wall.

Carter was shocked by what Sam had said. So shocked in fact that his mind went blank for a few minutes completely missing the comments that had been made right after that. When he started focusing again all he could was just stare at the people who were already there.

He then looked at the Head Boy, "But, it's the truth, though. Professor ....um whats-her-name really is dead. And, all I saw was Tristan, and possibly Drew I believe by the back of his hair, and Tristan's friend, and I believe the Ravenclaw Seeker, um Lori..uh, Ari, I mean. And some other girl that I haven't seen. The only thing Tristan said was, 'The Ancient Runes professor was murdered. We're going for questoning, now leave!'," he said to them. He wasn't lying either about it.

"I just meant I don't want everybody to freak out, you know?" Kellen explained to the younger boy. "There are so many rumours going around already, I'd just rather wait until a professor tells us what's going on. What really happened--your brother might not know all the details, or might have them confused. We should wait."
In his heart, Kellen felt like Sam was telling the truth--but he didn't want stories going around, getting bigger and bigger until they got out of control--even if they started with the truth.

Dezi stepped in through the commonroom door very late. After all, she had just found out about the lockdown a few moments previous. She looked around the room to find someone who could explain to her what was going on.

"Don't tell me we have another fire!" Hiro said as he entered the common room. The last time something like this happened the lake was ablaze for months it seemed. This time it wasn't the lake though since he had been down there meditating when the announcement came through.

He looked at Dezi who walked in, and saw the other prefect of Ravenclaw, "No, sir. Actually, from what I heard that a professor was murdered during the Hogsmeade Trip. My brother, and Drew, and my brother's friend, and Ari, and some other girl were sent to either one of the professor's office for questoning," he said to Hiro. He didn't know who he was, but assuming everyone said he was the blind prefect, assuming it must of been him, Hiro.

Allegra was ready to send Sam to his room... or at the very least shut him up with a silencing charm. His constant repetion of half details was really not helping the situation.
Of course, neither was her getting into a panic. At this moment, she and Kellen were in charge... oh yeah, and Hiro...
She took a deep breath and concentrated on staying calm. "Sam, your brother may be very reliable, but at this point... right now... it's all hearsay and rumor. If Professor Thorne is dead, let's show her a bit of respect and not spread what are, at the moment, still rumors," she said tersely.

He looked at Allegra and got depressed, "Sorry, Ms. Thornton," he said sad. Then he walked over to the couch and sat down, then sat quiet for the remander of the time, not saying one word.
