Handprints in the hall

[profshadowmaster]

[glow=red,2,300]Slate walked into the Great Hall briskly, carrying a copy of the daily prophet in his hand. He saw the headmistress sitting at the high table, and then noticed something on the banner above her head.

His eyes fell upon a single, bloody handprint with a slithering snake inside the palm. It was stained onto the great tapestry for all to see, "Headmistress, since when has that been on the banner?"[/glow]

[Professor Hermione Potter]

"So you noticed it too. I'm not sure when exactly it appeared. Sometime after midnight I believe. I've tried using several cleaning charms and several charms of my own. It's not coming out apparently."

[profshadowmaster]

[glow=red,2,300]Slate started moving toward the banner, "Notice this?" He asked the headmistress, pointing at the number inside it:

01121[/glow]

[Professor Cole A. Halliwell]

Walking around the Hall, Cole sees Professor Potter and Professor Lombardi looking at something on the tapestry. He walks over.

"Professor? What are you looking at?"

[Professor Hermione Potter]

"Nothing that concerns you Mr. Halliwell. Go eat your breakfast. Slate, I didn't notice the pattern. What do you suppose it means? You were the...well best not discuss it here. To my office then"

Gets up to lead Slate to my office.

[Professor Cole A. Halliwell]

"Sorry Professor Potter."

Cole walks back to the Mihael Table.

"I remember seeing that number somewhere else...."

[Professor Cole A. Halliwell]

Cole turned around.

"Guys leave it, if we had to know about it we would have been told!"

[whitney]

"ok?" Melody said with what she called her 'confused face'.
Melody turned around and went back to the Slytherin table.

Andrea looked down at her own hands and walked away.
