There was actually quite a lot that the book said. Or well, had printed in its pages that he had read since this book did not talk like some of the others in its collection. Not unless he charmed it to do so while he was rolling the lint roller around the office to pick up all that fur. Not to mention the life lessons and sometimes reminded him of The Tales of Beedle the Bard his mother had read to him growing up. Only with ferrets.

Yes, she did still hold Hops Lagerty responsible for the theft of all their funds two years ago. But that was another story.

"Now, onto our only real order of business, so far... the House Ghosts have suggested we hold a School Spirit pep rally, before quidditch starts and all that. Thoughts, comments, questions or concerns with hosting said pep rally? The Grey Lady suggested the dungeons to me," she pulled a face, which clearly showed what she thought of that, "but then, that would be the favored place of ghosts."
But he was unable to respond to Medea due to the staff meeting officially coming to order. He offered an especially soft golf clap at the mention of their being some funding left over, because YAY this meant his salary was back to being normal, right? No more budget cuts or anything? He was just going to take the Headmistress' pleasant appearance as a sign that all this was true.

His got that sparkle in his eyes and his posture straightened with interest at the mention of a pep rally. He could also appreciate the irony of holding them in the dungeons. Finding cheer in the last place you would expect it? Sounded like the ultimate meaning of pep to him. "I think it is a stellar idea, dungeon and all. With the right spellwork and out of the box thinking we could really create something special. The dungeons also have decent acoustics for any cheers or songs that perhaps the ghosts would like to teach the students."

His eyes drifted downwards to his fish tank. He remembered a game that him and his mates had played once. Called it Kiss the Squid or Hug the Whomping Willow back then and it was more of a dare among the boys in the dorms. Every April Fools abouts they would write down the name of one of their dorm mates and put it in a jar. The one who had the votes had to either try and kiss the giant squid or hug the Whomping Willow. Maybe....his paused his thoughts and briefly glanced around the table...it could be the professor with the most votes would have to kiss his bass. And hopefully that person would be Calista and then Captain could be human again!

Only he kept this to himself for now and just gave the whole pep rally concept two thumbs up. GRIN.
