Welcome!

[Falcon Meadows]

He nodded in response to her question before settling back to listen to the Headmaster. Unlike Reta, however, he bore no reaction to the news except for a slight narrowing of his eyes. Falcon had not been alive for the last war, but the stories his mother told had always been... well, interesting, if one could put it that way. And this did sound a bit like the Dark Lord's work, but honestly... it was about time for the next rising of some evil overlord. After all, the Wizarding community usually had one sprout out within fifty years of the last one's falling, and they were certainly more than halfway there.

"We tell them she got transferred, of course."

He had always been a logical thinker. And now was not the time to send the students into panic--not when they didn't even know what they were dealing with yet.

"Her father is an Auror, isn't he? Perhaps he's been sent away to... ah... South America?... for some form of political transaction. It's a very delicate post, however, so she had to leave immediately and none of the students are allowed to contact her. They wouldn't want to put her in danger, would they?"

The Sorting Hat, long ago, had told him that he would do just as well in Slytherin as Ravenclaw. His choice had been Ravenclaw simply because his mother's had been, but it didn't mean he didn't retain some of the cunning quality of the emerald house. He just wasn't sure how this group would take to a more underhanded method of dealing with the situation, even if it was the only one that wouldn't cause mass chaos.

'I am leaving all possible possibilities open, until we receive some hard firm evidence to the contrary. All I can say is that we must be alert with all we do. I shall contact the ministry and inform them. I am sure that they will not want this publisized, it will worry the public too much. No need to worry them now when were not entirely sure what they should be worried about. It brings back... memories.'
He sighed, then turned to Falcon 'That is the best plan we can have. If any student asks, that is what we will say.'

He turned to move out of the staff room 'I shall be at the ministry, please inform me there if there are any further developments.'

[Reta Grace]

Reta nodded. Falcon's idea did sound pretty convincing. There were Aurors over in South America, and there was always the possibility that they needed some more Aurors over there for some reason or another. And then Reta got to thinking about Aurors. I wonder if James will be sent here, if Aurors are sent she thought. But then again, he was still in training, and even if he did come, it wa strictly on business, which he would need to do.
Reta sighed softly and then turned to Falcon. They were the only ones in the room now. She stood, vanishing her chair, and then said, "So, a drink then?"

[Arteus Felber]

Terrance, although there, had seen nothing. "Do we tell the students?" He asked suddenly.

[Reta Grace]

"Did you not hear what they wer saying?" Reta asked. "We dont tell the students what happened, just that the girl moved with her father." she repeated. "Or tell them you dont know what happened to her if they ask." she added. And with that she, too, left.
