"One glass of lemonade is coming right up!" Leo said as he walked over to pour up a glass for Rooney from the can he had standing on a table behind his desk and as a second thought he put some chocolate cookies onto a small plate too. Lovingly Leo cast a glance at his kneazle "Thanks, Madonna does like being the center of attention just like the talented muggle artist that bear the same name."
Raising a brow Leo enquired "In which way was the feast hard? And what happened after that made you stop wearing your prefect badge on your chest?" He knew about the incident at the feast that Professor Stewart had handled. But Rooney's words hinted that there had been something else that had happened and Leo was keen to hear what that was. He had chosen Rooney to be prefect of Ravenclaw because he believed in him. Hopefully it was something easily taken care of and something that a little pep talk couldn't solve.

Focusing his attention Sabbath he said, flashing the boy a small yet warm smile. "I'm glad to hear that you are looking forward to a new year at Hogwarts Sabbath, just as I am."
Gaze and tone turning more serious Leo continued as he stood blocking the entrance to his office. "Professor Stewart informed me off what transpired at our house table, during the opening feast and your actions. Would you care to explain to me why you felt it necessary to punch another student? Punching is not accepted here at Hogwarts Sabbath or anywhere else for that matter. You are lucky Professor Stewart just deducted potions she could just have easily given you detention too." If Leo had been there he probably would have given the boy detention. Punching was not okay not under any circumstances.
As Mr Kitridge’s tone became more serious, Sabbath’s shoulders slumped. Rats! Just when he thought he was going to get away without being told off!
“Oh that... I almost forgot! he said with a sheepish smile.
”Err, there is an explanation Sir - I was provoked” he began.
“You see, when I arrived in the Great Hall I found Noah harrassing my girlfriend, he was making her cry, so yes, I pushed him,” he continued frowning.
“Then, he went and bumped his nose or something and because he’s a bit of a bleeder, it looked worse than it really was... Sir”, he looked up at Mr Kitridge hoping this would suffice and avoided eye contact with Rooney in the background as he sipped his lemonade.
