"That's perfectly fine. It's been known to happen but thank you for apologising."
Both of the boys seemed very polite. Her ladyship was all too glad that she had managed to see such well-mannered young Ravenclaws in her search for a bit of wisdom with the current affairs. And as it were, a student leader of the wisest house dropped by too.
"Of course it is, Miss Kitty." Maybe she needed some female intuition amongst this.
"Very well," she started, her usually poised hands now being fiddled around on her lap,
"I wonder, what do you three think of the situation at hand? The one between Peeves and," She resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
"Miffy and their wish to get married. Do you propose that they ought to or not?" Jace didn’t mind the pronunciation at all, given that the Grey Lady isn’t a native speaker. As long as she doesn’t butcher the word, then it’s all fine with the half-Japanese. The Ravenclaw, however, turned pink again in embarrassment when he was told that it’s a usual thing. Jace hung his head slowly, berating himself mentally for not watching out. He knew that the inhabitants of the castle weren’t limited to living beings, and, albeit not breathing, ought to be respected.
The thirteen year old kept quiet to still his mind, and slowly looked at Lady Helena as he listened to her predicament. Jace expected something very trivial and easy to solve, but found him...stuck with the thought too. The young teen, lost in his thoughts, sat on the floor and pondered on the situation.
“I assume that the pink robes and Cornish pixies were Peeves and Miffy’s doing...” he said softly as he stared at the stained glass window nearby, as the half-Japanese subconsciously went into the lotus position ready to meditate on the Grey Lady’s problem. He just had an encounter with the pixies back at the Entrance Hall, and a younger Slytherin claimed that Miffy was responsible for unleashing those pesky creatures.
“I see how delicate this problem is, Lady Helena. It can’t be solved with a yes or no.” He said louder this time and looked at their House Ghost.
“Right now, they are acting like spoiled children because their request wasn’t granted, correct?” he didn’t have to be that smart to figure that one out really,
“But...has the Bloody Baron set out conditions for them? I understand that he has to keep them in check.” This time, Jace looked from their House Ghost, to Harvey...and to their prefect. What are their thoughts?
