He leaned back in his chair. "Tell me, have you noticed your head of house acting rather, ahem, fidgety, in these past few weeks?"
Geez. SERIOUSLY? Was he still going to mention that? He should stop. He knew it, okay? Hadn't he been the one to stay by her side until she woke up. Of course, he was free to leave once she did. And the best thing he'd come up with was to come to Vindictus?
Well, yes, he supposed the man would be glad that his team made it to Championships, therefore...in a better mood? He seemed to be in need of a Healer himself, truth be told.
"I know." HE KNEW, Vindictus. But...wait, what???
"No, she'd never miss a game on purpose," he started to say, and started to frown too,
"Quidditch means everything to her." Something Vindictus probably already knew but simply forgot? Because he was forgetting a lot of things, it seemed.
And his frown deepened.
"I'm not Mr. Denton, EITHER." Nor was he going to say his name.
WAIT. Denton? Dominic? Wasn't he--?
He'd been the Head Boy that belonged in Hufflepuff. Before him, that is. The one that came to school with his sister.
"My Head of House? Which one? Mr. Masterson?" Because Merlin knew in which time his mind was working on.
