"Taylor, we need to talk." Said Ms. Juria. She was half panting, half calming herself. She was really in a hurry.
"What's the commotion all about, Juria?" Asked Ms. Taylor. Her ferocious visage is still visible.
"In your office, Taylor. We have to talk alone." Ms. Juria replied quickly. She was looking at Ms. Taylor's eyes, pleading to go with her in Swift's office.
"All right, All right." Said Ms. Taylor and she stood up. She went closer to Ms. Juria and the two of them started walking away.
All of the students, even the Professors were looking at them. Nobody moved nor breathe nor even eat. They were watching Ms. Taylor and Ms. Juria heading upstairs.
"Can you just give me a clue about what are we going to talk to?" Said Ms. Taylor. Her voice echoed in the hall. Ms. Juria hesitated for a moment and then she whispered on Ms. Taylor's ear. Ms. Taylor froze on her feet for a second and then she turned back with the hint of terror on her face.
"Prefects, keep an eye on every students in your houses. You shall NOT ALLOW them to get out at NIGHT TIME and MIDNIGHT. My fellow Professors, watch very closely every student in your classes. Be strict if possible! Students your cooperation is highly required! Good night!" Ms. Taylor cautioned, she spun on her heels and walked with Ms. Juria, heading out of the hall. The two opened the gigantic golden door and their silhouette fade at the moment the door have closed.
"Hurry up students, you have to go back to your houses as soon as possible." Ms. Camilla said calmly, her voice wasn't loud but the silence was useful.
Patricia ate her leftover food while thinking, Why did Ms. Taylor acted like that? And why is Ms. Juria in a rush? What was the fuss all about? Her mind were full of questions.
The Mantransceins did not continued their meal, they were the terrified ones in the hall.
All of them continued eating silently except for the Mantransceins.
The uneasiness was in the atmosphere. And Patricia looked up to the big window and saw the glowing moon and the twinkling stars hanging on the dark blue pastel of the sky. The moon was abruptly coated with red, dark red. Patricia blinked once and the moonlight was back to the pale yellow colour again.
What was that? She thought.
She felt uneasy, and so when she finished eating, along with everyone. All of them proceeded to the 5th floor.
There were Golden Tapestries weave with care by the weaver from Fayrah, moving paintings painted by the best wizartists around Alandrea, that are hanging on the wall. The students saw this but was not mesmerized at the sight at all. The Pixiestails were not talking like they've used to. And it was a cold night.
All of them halted in front of the Mona Lisa painting.
"Acid Poppers" said Felices and the Portrait swung open and all of them went inside.
There was an inconspicuous note on the Information Board. Natalie went to read it.
"Attention please." Said Natalie, reading the note out loud.
All ears were on her as she read the note.
"Clairemont School of Wizards

"So sad. The Quidditch try outs will be cancelled. I mean Quidditch! A year without Quidditch is dull. What the Heck!" Natalie ranted.
"This is insane. This is our last year here in Clairemont and no Quidditch?! No no no!" Pots said dramatically.
"Now calmed down Pats! Everyone go to your dorms. I'm sure you understand the order. Sleep tight!" Said Felices beckoning everyone to go to their respective dorms.
"Good night." Patricia muttered to everyone in Pixiestail.
"Night night." Said Kylee and go upstairs with Cana and Ellah.
"Oyasumi!" Said Yang and Blake cheerfully. They went to there dorm with Girlie.
"Gotta go." Said Carhene and Thinker. The two of them went with Aimee.
Patricia, Peteriona and Pariana looked at each other and went to the spiral staircase, to dorm no.1.
The three of them muttered goodnight to each other and went to their individual bedrooms.
Patricia sighed when she's already alone in her bedroom. She stared at the window beside her bedroom. The moon was still there in its Pale Yellow colour, glowing. What's the good in goodnight anyway, she thought.
Patricia sighed deeply again, something was wrong. It's bothering her, the new order, everything!
She did not noticed it, but she fell asleep on her bed. Oblivious of what will happen tomorrow, she is.
