Seriously?

Blink. Blink. Staaaaaaaare.

‘Surely there is something that can be done...?’, Gwen started saying. He was a Professor. He should CARE about what was going on at Hogwarts.

Couldn't he do something, though? Sure, Erik could attack the unarmed, seemingly harmless goblin that was only following through with her orders. Sure, he could cast some sort of permanent sticking charm on the portraits so her work would be a lot more difficult. Sure, he could do something.

The difference was that he didn't want to do anything about this little incident.

"I vink vhe best thing to do, here," Erik addressed the two concerned students eyeing him, "vould be to leave vhe goblin to her work and stay out ov her way. She has a job to do. To keep her from doing it vould not only be rude, but could also cost her her livelihood." Besides, who cared if the castle was missing a few old portraits?

"If you haff questions in the morning, I suggest you take them up vith the Headmistress. Good night." Erik gave the other students a cordial nod and then disappeared down the hall, headed back to his office now that the commotion was over.
