She said please.

That was the first thing the sixteen year old noted from his Head of House. Then her politeness....then the rubbing of the temples. Was she okay? Oh no. Was she going to faint like Professor Vindictus did? Kennedy eyed the woman and the distance between her and his desk. Would he be able to dash and catch her if she did faint? Hmm. Well, she was his Head of House and...and yeah. He wouldn't want her to fall and hit her head.

He shook his head and focused on the question instead. Naaah. Professor Lafay wouldn't faint. She was a strong woman. Yeah. After another — more analyzing — look at the creature Kennedy realized what it was. It was the same creature from John's book. He raised his hand. "It's a plimpy."
