"If you don't mind, Headmistress, since Mr. Darko is in Ravenclaw, I'd like the opportunity to speak with him first. I'd planned to schedule a meeting for all Ravenclaws this afternoon, in fact. That would also give me the chance to discuss the book he mentioned in class again. I don't know that it's relevant to your inquiries, but it's worth pursuing."
Pausing, Phoenix rubbed one long finger over the bridge of his nose. "I'm sorry, I should have asked before -- the boy who was killed last night. Did he have a family who will be claiming his body, or will he be interred here at Hogwarts?
"Or perhaps it's too early for you to know?"

"We're having a memorial service here," replied Caira. "His parents are still making the arrangement for the actual interrement. I think they're going to take him home... to a family plot of sorts. But they wanted his friends here to have an opportunity to say goodbye." She shook her head grimly.
After a moment, she looked up again. "Well Phoenix, I should get on about my day. If you're planning to talk to the students yourself, I'd like to hear whatever you find out as soon as possible." Her face shifted to a brilliant smile as she continued on. "Good day to both of you."
She turned and headed down the corridor, still thinking of ways to find the information she needed.

"Good day, Headmistress," Phoenix said. "Thank you for your consideration."
The next few moments passed in silence, broken finally by Professor Snape's rumble. "Well?"
The portrait's eyebrows climbed higher and highers as Phoenix drew his wand, first eliminating the traces of the muffliato spell cast by the headmistress, then casting his own in its place. The Divinations teacher added a strengthening spell before replying.
"I'll let you know." His mouth quirked. "Do me a favor, Professor Snape, and hang around a bit, would you?"
"Very funny!"
Snape's words followed Phoenix down the corridor as he headed for Professor Serlaen's office.
