"Thank you," Jake said simply, before adding with the slightest curiosity, "With all due respect, sir, I wouldn't address all the staff as 'sir'."

The boy looked to Lafay and then to Welton and then gave a glance at the other female staff, being genuinely sincere and NOT a smart alek.

Yet.

"It's Morgan," Jake nodded and spoke sharply. Did he really need reminding of the summer? Meanwhile, Jake looked back to Ikea for his answer.

"Did he just say his name was Ikea Garlic?" he snickered in a low voice to Ethan but it was loud enough for only Tate and Lafay to overhear. "No wonder he's angry at the world."

"Ike..." Ethan half murmured a repetition and thought about it seriously. No. he hadn't said that but...

"I like Garlic." Truebridge commented quietly, eyes flicking to Tate from behind his stunna shades.

Easy, man.

He couldn't help it... it couldn't be helped. Jake grinned slightly and looked between Vindictus and Truebridge. He knew that Ikea's name wasn't really Ikea Garlic, but he actually got the joke, if it was a joke and not a simple mistake.

Truebridge's words were just the icing on the cake. Jake was glad the bloke was back... made him feel a lot better about Hogwarts. Safer, for sure.

SPOILER!!: Ikea

"You didn't answer my question," Jake said quickly and without really thinking. He had no idea what was happening, the dude would need to spell it out... Jake did not understand tones of voice, even warning tones, and he didn't do reading between the lin-

WHAT THE WHAT?

He said his names. He KNEW his names. Jake hid the surprise but his mind suddenly raced with surprise, anger and some genuine sadness. He heard about the speech and took a step back, pushing his sunglasses back onto his eyes and sitting at the end of the Huffie table closest to the Staff Table.

He would get his answer, he supposed. But for now... he'd watch the man.

"Sir," Jake added under his breath to himself. Had to be 'polite', he supposed.

They certainly weren't the 'brainy' group. *"Not just* a member of security,"** he corrected Jake in a slow, warning tone. No, he was not the deputy headmaster either. Keep going, boy, you'll get there. Now why did they need security? Gevrik didn't seem to blink or move his head yet he knew precisely who the Hufflepuff was looking toward, and that small movement made him smirk. Ethan Alexander Truebridge would have his turn. For now, he still had to deal with the less-mature children at the table. Surprisingly, they were the ones allowed to sit there. "Tate," Ikenna would not give Gaellen 'Casey' Tate his respect until the man actually earned it. "is correct, Jake Upstead...Lawson...Morgan? Take a moment to think upon why Hogwarts might need an upgrade...or two...in security." He finally turned his head to glare squarely at Tate's profile. "Mr. Gevrik, actually. I would appreciate it if you introduced me correctly." That would included NOT pronouncing his name as Garlic. Vindictus. Ikenna covered the sound of his chuckle with a fake cough. "Ah, hello again, Potions Mistress Lafay." His bitter expression was softening slightly as he looked from Hecate back toward Jake. Vindictus really was ageing if he thought he wouldn't be overhead by the Ghost. "Since a few of you seem to be...confused at the moment, I think it would be best if everyone calmly returned to their seats and refrained from saying anything they will regret later." He stood up next to Tate. "It's time for the speech." "You didn't answer my question," Jake said quickly and without really thinking.
