SPOILER!!: the Lady Helena and the ghastly interrupting howler

Sir Nicholas had forgotten how Helena tended to take his wit and humor at face value. Her delicate and naïve Ravenclaw personality had misconstrued his words as fact when he had been implying that there was nothing to be done at Hogwarts to compare to the zest Gryffindors shared when it came to quidditch.

But alas. The ghost was not even granted a moment to chuckle and glide closer to her to clarify as they had been interrupted.

"Fear not, milady," he said, boldly holding up a hand to calm her as he glided away from her. It did seem as though it was set to explode soon and it would only be proper for it to do so entirely on his ghostly self and away from Helena. "Should all be over...soon..."

He suspected Peeves to be behind this, somehow. Or perhaps the Headless Hunt had taken their rejection notices up a notch?

"I don’t think that’d ever be allowed at Hogwarts except at very special occasions like at a school tournament. Headmistress Truebridge wouldn’t allow it." Not after the most tragic death last year. She was fully expecting Sir Nicholas to take her up on her wish to spend the evening in his company when they were very rudely interrupted by a crimson coloured envelope Helena identified as a howler. Said howler zoomed back and forth through Sir Nick and then it continued to zip this way and that in front of him. Pulling out her fan Helena waved vigorously with it after the howler her irritation on Sir Nicholas behalf clear in her indignant voice. "Chooo! Chooo, you ghastly thing! Deliver your message and leave." Quote: Originally Posted by HOWLER! Fifth time wasn't the charm but something had to give. This message would be received one way or another and this fellow was going to have to stop this foolery that he was going on with. Open open open! The envelop's temperature rose steadily as it whooshed this way and that, trying to snag itself on some part of him. OPEN IT!
