"It's not forbidden, it's frowned upon," Erik murmured in reply to Wisteria's snotty little comeback about the Veritaserum. Besides, who had even said that was Veritaserum in that vial there? Her mind was just jumping to conclusions today, wasn't it.

And there would be no calling of other professors in here. Erik frowned deeply. "I do not believe it is necessary to consult my inferiors vhen issuing a detention," he stated with a deep exhale, looking down at his desk to keep his patience. Remember that one time when he was elected to the Board of Governors? Right. He would not be allowing Flamsteed, Bentley, Hadley, or any other obnoxious Hogwarts staffer into his office any time soon. If the girls had an issue arise in their detentions, they could seek the counsel of their Heads of House later. After it was all over.

"For now, you may report to Dungeon Five for your detentions." He was tired of having his time wasted by these two. Erik looked to Ivy and gave her a solid nod. She could take her vial back, then. "Thank you for your assistance, Professor Knox."
