And he was so glad that Miss Katy Toussaint had gone all in on those Bellaire boys and made her point. "I can't learn around that, Professor." He couldn't even focus on the angel at the front of the room and he just wanted to follow Blaise around and snap his little quill goodbye.

Hmpf.

Maybe he would stage a walkout.

Right then, so maybe not an appreciated apology afterall. In his defense, it was the best he could have given considering the circumstances.

All he could do was nod slowly as the Professor requested to speak with him after class. It wasn't like he was going to protest. Why would he? It was just lucky enough that was all that happened and he hadn't gotten his cousin in anymore trouble in the process given how serious the man sounded in the moment. Blaise got set to sit............................................... ................................................wh en Rooney Bronwyn happened.

"For the love of Circe." WHO was EVEN talking to HIM??? "Do you ever mind your own business? Merlin's sodding beard, you're always sticking your nose in other people's business unnecessarily. Ever thought of focusing on your own problems and not trying to make yourself relevant where you most certainly are not??? When did he say the Bronwyns were evil? WHAT did a restraining order have to do with him.

"If you can't learn then leave." He wouldn't be missed. Oh Rooney can't learn. Guess they'd all have to run around serving him hand and foot til his minuscule brain could manage to keep up. "Stop being so obsessed with me. It's creepy. Always following up on what I say. I don't see you. I don't hear you. It's only right you do the same." No one else felt they couldn't learn. What made his brain so special? A couple missing neurons?

Blaise fell into his seat with a huff, arms folded, eyes facing forward. Honestly. WHO was talking to HIM? WHO?

Not that there had been many to take already. Poor baby Blaise, born with little brain cells, no common sense and ugly to boot. This Ravenclaw felt sorry for him in that sense, but right now...he was going to give him a swift kick in the groin and not apologise for it.

Not even if he was told to.

Roo moved to slowly pack his things, leaving the little clay person on his desk. "But yes, I think I'll leave. I'm sorry Professor Hirsch, and Sir Angelo, but I could use my time effectively elsewhere. Great lesson, Hirsch. Great face, Angelo."

Yes, a very deliberate act. If it was a reaction he wanted in that regard, one wouldn't be coming. Not from him.

Interesting enough though, the boy was out of his seat and collecting his things. This was a welcomed surprised.

The Gryffindor began a slow sort of clap. "Good job, mate. Really selfless. Thanks for finally thinking about someone outside of yourself." Leaving was for the best, for everyone's best. They didn't need Rooney to stay and he hoped to Merlin the Professor wouldn't try stopping him.

Just let him leave, okay? Please? Yes.


This was just getting worse and worse, wasn't it? The man had always figured he'd get grey hairs during a ripe old age - naivety? Maybe - but this lesson was doing a good job of putting him closer towards that stage in his life.

"Enough!" Deep breaths. "Enough."

There was a pause in which the man looked between the two boys, bubbling up with more anger than he would've liked. Frankly, he hated it. None of this needed to have happened and now, it had turned into your average soap opera event. "Mr Bronwyn, who says that nothing will come out of it? Anything I decide to say to Mr Bellaire, any consequences I decide to give, will be done in private." A small frown sat on his face at the sight of the Ravenclaw packing up but ploughed on, "If you don't want to stay, Rooney, I'm not going to force you but we do have a good lesson planned." If he may say so himself.

"Mr Bellaire," he said, turning his head towards the Gryffindor, "Do not make things worse for yourself."

He took another moment to look between the two of them before speaking in the same would-be calm voice that he was trying to maintain, "I'm not wasting any more lesson time, not when people, I hope, have come here to learn about defence, not the feuds of Hogwarts students. This is the last I want to hear about this discussion."

Turning to the rest of the class, he paused for a moment before saying, "Does anyone else have any other suggestions before we move on?"
