The firsties...Selina, Kurumi and Genevieve Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna At least Kurumi was working with him to help try and keep Selina from going too nuts over the situation. Gideon almost wondered why she hadn't begged him to come to her to help look for the bat...that sounded like another of his girlfriend's ideas as if he could have had any better luck. His height wasn't going to be any benefit unless the bat was simply hidden up somewhere high just out of sight which didn't seem the case.
And the younger girls seemed to be handling their 'punishment.' Some complaining or questioning but they werent causing any more trouble which was certainly good. They didn't need drama before the term even began, here at the platform...on the train...or at the opening feast for that matter. That was until one went wide-eyed at the mention of violence. "Nae...no hitting or other harm will happen," Gideon assured her with a small polite smile. No violence was needed and certainly not by a school leader. That was what the professor sometimes did in detention or so he was told, but the seventh year wasn't about to mention that aloud. He gave a quick look at Selina when she seemed to be tempted by that idea.
Down girl...
Genevieve joined in, asking Selina about Mortimer as if casing for details. Gideon was clear-thinking enough however to tell there was a hint of sarcasm in the other girls voice. But at least the patronizing of the redhead kept things more cool, calm and collected. If those terms could ever be attributed to the scene at large. "Nae...no tying up either," he remarked as that idea surfaced. As tempting as it might be it was a baaaaaad idea.
A reward...really...was that going to help things. Well they needed something.
Captain Skylar would be murder at try-outs and practices and games if he was still missing by then.
