The Inquisitorial Squad Headquarters was painfully silent as the students who'd had their asses handed to them by a bunch of muggleborns sat silently in defeat. Amycus and Alecto Carrow stood at the front of the meeting table with stern expressions. After the initial escape of the nine muggleborn students Ministry officials had arrived to collect what they had left. While they managed to detain twenty-five muggleborns the lack of their entire roster was certainly embarrassing. The ministry official had announced that they would dispatch snatchers in the area, but that did not appease the Deputy Headmasters. Their ego's had been knocked down a few pegs and needless to say they did not blame themselves but the incompetent squad members that sat before them.
"I expected better," Amycus broke the silence with a particularly stern tone. "Do you know what you've done?"
"Incompetence," Alecto chimed in. "You're all ridiculously incompetent. Because of you we'll be utilizing ministry personnel to clean up your mess. I told each and every one of you to check those mudbloods for wands. Explain to me how Finch-Fletchley managed to get one?"
The room remained quiet as the adults shot individual students looks while others completely avoided eye contact.
"We'll be holding required training sessions every week until you prove to me that you're capable of doing this job," Amycus informed.
"In addition you'll each be on duty during the Hogsmeade visit this Sunday," Alecto added. "We'll be utilizing a security ward that will prevent anyone without staff, prefect, or inquisitorial badges from crossing."
"That means, whatever plans you had about shopping and merriment - forget about it," Amycus hissed. "Your job will be to usher students from the castle and back. You'll also assist in patrols outside of the wards when you're not in class until those filthy mudbloods are found, is that understood?"
A few mumbles of compliance left the group.
"Get out of my sight," Amycus' jaw was clenched as his lips curled with anger.
"And don't use this mornings events for being late for class," Alecto added. "Your lack of ability is no excuse for tardiness."

Moving forward for the rest of the month IS Members will patrol the grounds where the wards begins. They'll have access to crossing the wards at their leisure and are expected to make sure none of the escaped students get back inside, and no other students escape. Their study hall time will be replaced with patrols and they'll rotate on evening patrols between 7pm-10pm.
In addition training sessions will be scheduled Tuesday and Friday evenings from 7pm - 8pm. They'll be forced to duel the same training dummies. The dummies will be enchanted to shoot back painful lashing curses anytime they fail to block a counter attack.
