Botros smacked Barrington on the back of the head softly. "Ease up on the humor, Barrington." And he continued dragging the two kids to the wall to deal with them.

1. Dima was never ever EVER to be trusted with fire. Imagine if this had happened in that place where they had the thing with the other person? They all would have went up in flames so yes, no fire. That was going in the BOOK. The special one. The one they had for reasons.

2. The boy they Dima had set on fire wasn't really that bright. Or well, he WAS because he was on FIRE but NOT because he was smart. He'd apparently forgotten he was a wizard from the time he'd been lit until now because he hadn't once attempted to use his wand to stop the flames. Interesting, that was. Perhaps this little accident would teach him to use it in the future and for THAT lesson, Dima should be THANKED. UH-HUH. And look at that, he was WET. Looks like he was safe after all.

3. Nigel and Mo were cool. She approved SO much because MO had started chanting louder to cover for them, she KNEW, and NIGEL was laughing at the thing. See? It wasn't THAT big of a deal.

4. People at Hogwarts did NOT respect your personal space. The hugging with Kyroh and Dima was BAD ENOUGH but NOW she had an old man professor HOLDING HER HAND. Unnecessary! She could follow him WITHOUT the help, THANK YOU. And NOW she was expected to hold Dima's hand and SIGH. Just. UGH.

Begrudgingly slipping her hand into Dima's she tugged him along with the same power Botros was using to tug her. She bit her lip when the Runes dude whacked Nigel on the head, fighting laughter. Did Dima SEE that? She didn't know that was allowed in school but HEH. COOL. Also, Dima's tears would totally be appreciated right now. Maddie had been in trouble enough times with her parents to not get emotional over punishments but Dima, he LOOKED like a crier. PLUS Dima was cute so if he used those two things to their advantage, MAYBE he could get them out of this.

...Waterworks, please? It WAS his fault, after all.

I told you not to light the torch. You should not have lit the torch. You!" He pointed at the boy (lemon) with the torch. "You'll have to say yes to all requests people ask of you for the next three days." Botros pointed a finger at him warningly, "I'll give you something that will help you with that." He had pendants and runes that could track intentions, he could make this work. Mhmm.

"And you." He pointed at the boy's sidekick (TakeMeToTheBurrow). "You should learn how to step up to your friends more than your... not friends." Foes seemed such a strong word for their age. "You'll have to do three nice things to Mr. Stark over there to make it up to him that you participated in setting him on fire." Nodnodnod.

NOW.

Ab turned to the rest of the class, "Light your torches with Incendio, and watch the glowing runes give the flame a sustainable energy. We're marching outside in a line in a bit." He gave the two troublemakers a nudge towards Barrington. "Go on, stick with your Prefect for the rest of the class."

Just as his friend had, Dima also learned a couple things from the fiery experience. Like he was smarter than some seventh years! That burning hobo boy? Didn't even look like he KNEW the Water-Making Spell, and THIS KID did! It was the one he'd learned under the table in the Common Room after Professor Cupboardbin had given him that potion mixture. Maybe he could offer to teach it to him later?

And Nigel and Grayson were either laughing at him or laughing at someone being set on fire which either meant that they thought humans being barbecued was FUNNY, or they were just like Angelo and found it amusing when he did bad stuff on accident.

But at least it was pants this time and not like that dude's hair in Ollivander's, right? Right?

The professor, though, apparently didn't know of Dima's progress with setting people on fire and how it was SO MUCH better this time. It was. "I'm... I'm s-sorry, professor. We don't actually take this class, and we were coming from outside and it was c-c-cold and somebody gave me a torch and we didn't know how to do the other stuff and just want-t-ted to stay without disrupting your l-lesson." Which... had gone so well, clearly.

He gave the professor his best puppy eyes. ANYTHING that people requested?! What if someone told him to jump off a tower or something? What if he DIED? "I was the one holding the torch, sir. N-not Maddie. She didn't do anything. I j-just tripped and then the guy was on fire and it wasn't her fault. I can do the three n-nice things for that boy t-t-too."

Along with the stutters and the eyes, Dima threw in a couple of fake wibbles. Was it working? Weren't old people supposed to be UNDERSTANDING?

Huh. Maybe this guy was like Gramma Serafina. Aka evil.
