Was it that visible? Gosh. Where was an invisibility cloak when you needed one?

Unsure of what to say Ness hesitated before answering the new groundskeeper's question. "Um..I was ..I..It's nothing, I've done nothing, Sir. " He hadn't asked what someone else had done. So that answer was alright, right? No need to mention Selina, after all it was an accident and still partly her own fault. The most it would probably do was bruise, nothing too bad. Surely better than the quidditch injuries she had, had such as getting hit in the face with a bat, that was bad."Ow!" She felt something on her face, but then realized it was just cream. "I mean thank you, Sir." Even if it was a bit awkward that he was touching her face.

These questions were not good questions to be asked. Nessie ended up hesitating again, because the real reason behind that nickname was not exactly an impressive one to Professors, or adults in general really. "Erm..you know the Loch Ness?" Course he would, he looked very much Scottish and sounded Scottish too. "So yeah it goes nicely with my nickname which is Nessie and I guess I can erm..be a bit *cough* wild *cough*." He didn't really need to hear that last bit.

Friend? Who? Where? Ohh Oakey. "Yes, Sir. A good friend too." She gave Oakey a smile and then watched Valentine once again not listening. "Val, go on, listen to Oakey." The red head then eyed her own owl which was sleeping quietly in her cage. Aya would have to leave once she'd awake, but for now Ness left her.

"I should probably head off, but I'll see you later Oakey and Mr...um..Sir" She wasn't sure of his name, but with that Ness took her own owl, Puffles and the rest of her luggage as she went off towards the carriages.
