Jake had opened his mouth to speak and promptly shut it again. He was about to say something about chairs not having eyes but thought better of it. Something told him Antares was being humourous and Jake hadn't picked up on it.

"Oh, no thank you," Jake shook his head, all traces of stutter gone for the moment. That had been annoying, having it back for a second. But never mind. "I don't really like tea. I think it has caffeine in it as well." He wasn't too sure...

Anyway, back to business.

"No, actually... I left after my fifth year to be home-schooled instead of staying here for my sixth year. My parents stopped teaching here and quidditch was off so I didn't have any reason to stay. Plus, I was apprenticed."

He didn't mention the name. Too many people didn't know him. >.>

"So now I'm back for my seventh year. Came up here to... talk and stuff. I had a few questions as well."

Mhmm.

Yyyyyup.

Risu tapped his cup of water reflectively, and as he listened to Jake, some more related staff room memos came back to him. He remembered now. "I do recall that you were very fond of Quidditch," he said with a smile. "Are you competing again this year? Close out your education at Hogwarts with a Championship? Another one?"

Risu leaned back comfortable. Hecate really knew her stuff, he could practically feel the itchiness in his cheeks fade. This was certainly worth 24 hours of not being able to drink tea, even if it was Avery's delicious flavours he had been forced to skip.

"Perhaps I will see you at the Gobstones tournament as well?" Risu asked, looking at Jake. "I'm in charge of the club with my colleague Professor Hadley, and I have to admit I'm quite looking forward to it. You weren't here last year, of course, but I am sure you heard about the Triwizard Tournament." Risu pulled a disapproving face. "As part of the Tournament, both Quidditch and Gobstones were cancelled, so this year will be my first time in this capacity. And..." There was a knock on the door.

"Noted!" Risu called out cheerfully, loud enough for whoever it was to hear. "Please have a seat outside, I will be with you momentarily." He gestured at Jake. "Sorry. You said you had a few questions?"
