sigh. why do you all insist on treating each other this way?

now he’s here, due to the absence of sile. joining.

a nod of understanding at her actions. he won’t force her. it is her choice. “that’s alright. i only wish to be sure that you are okay. so, tell me, what were you trying to do?”

he is picking up on the scent. sighing, yet worried. “may i see your hands?” he puts one of his own hands out.

“you are reading it for knowledge so you can be ready , or something else?”

yes, kahlan?

she might think she can get past 𝐡𝐢𝐦 undetected, his mother? not happening.

glances, looks away. his arms are folded in a very relaxed way. then he double looks. is everything okay? his brows furrow slightly.

you’ll see him talking to minerva in one of the corridors. just a good old mother/son chat.

come. have some tea, hm?

his mother deals with the trio. he seems to have to deal with one of every house.

𝒐𝒍𝒅 ? past my 50’s? you all think i’m 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 old?

mhm. you may go now.

you taunted him. do not lie to me about what i heard.

oh, you must think that just because you whisper your taunting words to mister lynn, that i cannot hear them?

must be from the gray hair you five give me.

i’ll have you know i am not old. thankyou very much.

why do i suddenly feel 𝑜𝑙𝑑 .

okay, okay. settle down.

so nobody is high? you are not lying to me are you, dover ?

if there is a student who happens to be. . well, 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝—- may you point me in their direction or bring them to me?

#eames he told everyone to have some more respect and think before they speak and now look. maybe you should listen to your local DADA professor next time.

he did try to give you all advice to avoid this. this is out of his hands.

silence. 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

“are you trying to get more taken away or are you quite finished?”

“ah, okay. 50 points from ravenclaw.” ah, it stings to say that. but he has to. “for insulting language and disrespect for others.”

and we are looking into it, i understand you are upset and frustrated but we don’t insult people’s parents. am i clear?

you do not always know someone’s story or why they have done such an act. kindness is a virtue you are blessed to have. please use it.

#eames hey uh i don’t know what house everyone’s characters is in. it doesn’t always say in the pinned. please let me know :)

i see you’ve picked up some words from mcgonagall . ah, that’s quite enough. we don’t insult parents. no matter how angry we are.

a lack of tower does not mean you must have a lack of spirit.

you are able to have that opinion. don’t worry.

quite the contrary. he has much love and respect for his house.

despite being a ravenclaw himself, he is not biased to houses. what kind of professor would he be if he did?

he’s coming to visit , even bringing some food. in the corner of his eyes he is seeing the sleeping student , recognise the red hair . he smiles. “ah, so that’s where she ended up.” no surprise.

yes, she could not do it again. he knows his students more than she thinks. especially the ones that are more prone to trouble than some. “i suppose we should make sure that this doesn’t happen again. this school is home to many people. how would you feel if —

“ravenclaw is my house, to see the tower be damaged due to such reckless does upset me to say the least. luckily, nobody was hurt.”

“i mean that if it should happen and i know who it is, i will have to take it further to avoid any more danger to those around and damage to the school. you understand, don’t you, kahlan?”

he smiles at her and just leans back after explaining. perhaps he just rambled. “i hope that makes sense?”

“indeed. i just hope these kids are aware that they have damaged something that means a lot to me and if they wish to do another thing like that again, i will be less patient than i am now.”

“mhm, well, i think it’s best if whoever did it stays away from the whiz-bangs, don’t you agree?” saying no more but giving her a look. he knows more than some assume. “to avoid such devastation in the future before it comes back to them.”

hm. well, i am not around today, so if you need to speak to someone? you can find o’tuathail . or if needed, you know where to find mcgonagall.

“okay, what seems to be issue today?” he asks aloud, eyes scanning the students who seem to be so riled up by something or by 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞.

the wands, never the hands, and Kahlan is using that to her advantage. So, from a distance, with sunglasses on just for fun, she sets off the three boxes of whiz bangs she has planted all over the Ravenclaw tower- ....oh shit.

SCHOOL EVACUATION. EVERYONE TO THE COURTYARD NOW. FOLLOW YOUR PREFECTS.

“i never said it would, but it could affect your house points. you understand?”

“i was asking what you meant, not the cause of your tie scenario.”
