 urine trouble | Pat's Strong Confident Other Half | Pees Like a Champion Unicorn Racehorse
There was a lot of chatter going on and Hirsch was finding it increasingly difficult to concentrate on specific topics at hand. He was relieved, though, when River burst into the scene and started handing out healing potions to the potions. Good. The sooner they got tended to, the better.
His gaze was diverted, however, when Regina herself came to this side of Hogwarts. Another sense of relief washed over him in knowing that everyone had made it out of the portal and into safety. There was still something unnerving about the situation, though. Because even though everyone was safe and the students were being tended to and it looked as if everything was going to go back to normal, it didn't feel like it.
And then Regina was talking about Storm going through the portal.
In all honesty, Hirsch didn't care about the poltergeists, especially considering the ordeal they'd put the students through during the course of this year especially. And he still hadn't forgiven them for the situation the previous year with one Jacen Reed. Nope. So he just stood there, getting his breathing, and heart rate, back to normal and watching the scene unfold. It didn't look as though Peeves was at all that disturbed by the fact that Miffy was going in with Storm which caused him to raise his eyebrows. Really? This didn't bother him in the slightest?
And, on an even worse note, Peevsie Poo?!
This was worse than couple duels.
And speaking of couples, Mr Whittebrook was clearly displaying the mix of teenage hormones and adrenaline that were running within him. Uh. Sure, the boy might be caught up in the moment but did they need to see this? Couldn't they take this somewhere private? He didn't need to know what the students did or see....... this. It wasn't exactly appropriate to wolf-whistle so, he did the only thing he could do and pretend that he'd seen nothing in the first place. Hirsch was blissfully oblivious to any kissing that was going on. Nothing to see.
This wasn't exactly hard to do, not when there was a bright green light coming from the portal itself. He covered his eyes instinctively to shield them from the light and only really looked back when the brightness had died down and.....
....... Hirsch blinked. The Portal was gone? Completely? He blinked a few more times before walking around that area slowly, surveying it. No. Gone. In fact, it looked like it did at the start of this year where there had been no rip in dimensions in the first place. Again, it didn't feel right or normal but if it was gone, well.......
Charlotte's question about the portal situation had been a good one and, for once, Hirsch didn't have an answer. He preferred subject areas with huge action and drama, not annoying poltergeists. So, he shot the Gryffindor an apologetic look before looking over towards the rest of the group and especially at those that, rumour had it, had been doing some kind of research into all of this.
Oh, Mr Ashburry-Hawthorne!
Turning away from the place where the portal had been, the Defence Professor first looked towards the young Hufflepuff and then at his pocket. Reaching inside, he took out the box that had been given to him before they'd all jumped into the portal and turned it over in his hands. It was probably lucky that he hadn't been directly hit with spells or had fallen over during the trip. He hadn't paid much attention to it thanks to the chaos that had happened in the other Hogwarts but at least it didn't look too damaged, did it?
He moved away from the spot where the portal had been and over towards Mr Ashburry-Hawthorne. "I think I have something that belongs to you." At this, he held out the box the boy had given to him. It wasn't as if the man had any use for it.
