"Hello there young Olivia," Sir Nick said, turning to see a student from House Gryffindor approach. The two turned to three at the approach of young Echo from House Slytherin. "Sir Nicholas, if you don't mind, Lady Duchannes," he replied, without his usual proud tone when correcting people who continued to attempt to take away his knightly title, of Sir Nicholas. With the thought of falling out with the Baron and Lady Helena on his mind, the correcting of his name was not his current priority.

He clasped his semitransparent arms behind his back deciding to entrust the predicament to both Olivia and Echo. "You were both at the Start of Term feast I trust? What are your thoughts of the betrothal of Peeves and Miffy? There is quite a separation between us ghosts at present, and I would be most obliged for your esteemed opinions."
