Hours have passed by. Laney is still out searching, her movements becoming stiff, and her eyelashes coated with ice crystals. At last, she made her way back to the castle.
McGonagall approaches her.
McGonagall: Goodness child, where have you been?
Laney is shivering.
Laney: Outside. Was searching for a Niffler.
McGonagall: Deary me, it isn’t your job to search for Hagrid’s lost creatures, you leave that to him. I’ll be having a word with him!
Laney: No, don’t! It wasn’t Hagrid’s fault. I overheard some students talking about an escaped creature, so I went to search for it myself.
McGonagall: Sounds to me they just sent you on a wild goose chase! Go off to the kitchens, tell the house elves to get you something warm, then stay inside!
Laney nods, and walks off.
McGonagall: And that's not a suggestion, it’s an order Scamander!
