He was not a superstitious man by any stretch of the imagination - load of rubbish and self fulfilling prophecies as far as he was concerned - but gourmet marshmallows were no laughing matter. So if it helped keep chorts from deciding to migrate back to Hogwarts again (a VERY doubtful connection) then he would do it.
He wasn't going to laugh. He was NOT going to laugh. But it WAS an amusing notion. Miss Cambridge detaching Sir Nicholas' spirit from the school and carrying him around in a jar or something equally absurd. "That is quite the task. I do hope you ask him before you go through with this," he mused as he blew on his tea. "I doubt very much you would like being told that you were going to have your body bound to Hogwarts and could never leave, for example."
Lex's eyes remained fixed on the Professor who'd decided the wood needed testing. Uh-huh....
"...Should...I be knocking your desk too or....is this just....some thing you do on the odd occasion when others usually aren't watching?" No judging, just wondering is all. She popped another into her mouth and chewed carefully while her gaze remained trained on him. It could be a ritual, or a sign but a sign of
what and how could this benefit her?
"I guess I could ask him first but I don't see why I should get his hopes up in case it doesn't work. See, the way I see, I find a book, sneak up on him, say some extra old and ancient mumbo jumbo then BAM, no more stuck inside the castle walls and he can thank me to his heart's content." Brilliant plan if she did say so herself, which brought her back to the main point.
AHEM.
"The permission slip, Professor." She tried the subtlety card but...Alexa was anything BUT subtle and the eager look had already come back to her face. Had to get on this pronto.
Siiiiip.
