Vindictus had been hiding in his office since the feast ended and now it was time for some well-deserved boyish fun. Ignoring the knocks on his office door, he posed for a few minutes in front of a mirror.

"ARRR! Captain Max 'The Awesome' Vindictus is about to go on an adventure! Mysterious pirate ship beware!" he said to his own reflection as he made a few 'pirate' faces in the mirror and then started laughing. Another knock was heard at his door.

Sigh.

Slowly, Vindictus made his way to his office door and with a few clicks it was unlocked and open. But instead of offering students to join him inside, he did the opposite - he stepped out and locked the door behind him!

"Ah, Treyen and Kurumi," he began and glanced around to see if there was anyone else. "I'm sorry, but I need to go tend to some very important Hogwarts business."

It was true.
