Eugene twitched at Miss Van Helsing's rant. This was  in fact his job and he wasn't even sure how to go about this. With magic and a fully trained team from the ministry, yeah they'd have been able to handle it, but here, with a half-civilian group of people against a misplaced mythological creature and literally powerless, it wasn't a cut and dry situation. Thank Merlin for Professor Darrow. The man's very demeanor was reassuring, not to mention his intellect.

It seemed that they'd come to some sort of conclusion and the sphinx agreed, so they were going to do this now. Eugene balked at the riddle as he knew he would and again he was glad there were people here who were much more logical than he was. "I honestly don't know, that sounds like it fits though." There was a reason he hadn't been a Ravenclaw after all.
