If I may have your attention for a few minutes, I have a quick announcement to make on behalf of the Headmaster and the rest of the staff.
Your teachers, the Headmaster, the prefects and your Head Boy and Girl have been meeting to decide on the procedures to be put in place in the event that Hogwarts or the surrounding areas find themselves to be the victim of a bombing raid. You will be alerted by the sounding of a siren, like this... [he gives a wave of his wand and the sound of an air raid siren -- fills the Great Hall]
On hearing this siren, the Ravenclaws will make their way quickly and calmly to the Hufflepuff common room where Professor Binns or the Hufflepuff prefects will be waiting to allow you entry. The Gryffindors will make their way, also quickly and calmly, to the Slytherin common room where Professor Slughorn or the Slytherin prefects will be waiting. If your class is taking place outside, you will immediately move inside the castle and make your way to the appropriate common room. Senior students, prefects and staff will aid in the evacuation by escorting you to your destination. You will then be joined by the respective staff members for your Houses.
I must stress the importance of obeying this procedure without hesitation. Wilful disobedience will result in expulsion of the student or students involved.
Your Head Boy and Girl and your prefects have also been given the power to use the body bind and Incarcerous to maintain order. Of course, they shall only do this should the need arise. I recommend that you do not cause that need.
These are disquieting times and we must all work together in order to overcome them. It is time to set aside our differences and come together to keep all within these walls safe. I know you will not disappoint me, your Headmaster and the rest of the staff.
If you have any questions or concerns, please direct them to your prefects, the Head Boy and Girl or your Heads of House.
