He would happily find any topic to discuss with him if that was his entire motivation for coming down here.

If only he had somehow conned the password off of Uncle Professor Julien. He could wait for him in the Office.

Alas...this will do. He sat on one of the two chairs then also picked up a magazine. It didn't matter what it was. He just flipped through it.

Mere minutes began to feel like hours! Torrance hopped up of the chair and began to pace around the hallway entrance to the office. He stopped suddenly and then just began to stare at the Stone Gargoyle...who stared back at him...so he stared back even harder. Which then stared back even harder at him! He closed in on the gargoyle until his fleshly nose pressed up against the stone cold nose of the statue.
He had been exploring the castle in his serval form. Those who remembered his grand entrance at the feast didn't bat an eye at the sight of an African cat roaming about; it had almost become second nature to them. However, there were those who had given him puzzling looks. They had either missed his transformation back at the start-of-term feast or the fact that the headmaster was an Animagus had been long forgotten. Sahnoun simply waved his tail at them and meowed cheerfully as he slipped onto the second floor, his destination being his humble abode.

After turning the corner of one of the corridors, the serval-man was quite surprised to see that a student was waiting outside the entrance to his office. Correction: impatiently waiting. The boy, which Sahnoun recognized as Julien's nephew, was pacing. The serval's eyes darted back and forth, his tail swayed in amusement as he quietly watched the young Gryffindor. How long was the boy going to keep this up?

The serval's head tilted to the side, confused, as the boy made his next movement. Was it normal at Hogwarts for students to be pressing their faces up against that of the gargoyle? It certainly wasn't a sight one would find at Uagadou. Silently, the headmaster shifted from his serval form back to his tall, slender self. A smile was on his face as coughed and then said, "I don't believe your stare-down technique will be getting da gargoyle to move any time soon, Mr. Spades."
