Apparently, the gargoyle didn't get the memo.....

The old man paid no attention to the suits of armour as he walked down the corridor, getting closer and closer to the entrance to what was now his office. He heard their helmets turning, but he knew that they wouldn't attack him. This was his school now.

But apparently the gargoyle did not get the memo. Needless to say, he was rather displeased when it didn't automatically step aside for him the moment he was standing face-to-face with it.

"This is Headmaster Scrimgeour speaking. Step aside, gargoyle," he ordered gruffly, already beginning to lose patience with the slab of stone.

Its loyalty still remained with the woman who once resided there.

"I, Headmaster Julian Scrimgeour, order you to move," he grunted at the gargoyle, giving it one last chance to change its mind. This was a disgrace to someone who was in charge of the school, an ex-Auror, and recipient of an Order of Merlin, First Class!

But, again, there was no movement. Was this some sort of revenge from that Hawthorne woman?

At this point, his left hand drew a wand from his pocket and casted nonverbal spell after nonverbal spell. In spite of his efforts, the gargoyle still did not move. Riled up, he was tempted to blast the statue into smithereens. Instead the old man slammed his metal fist against the stone, affecting it in no way whatsoever, and stormed down the corridor. Surely that dismal-looking Deputy Head would know how to get around the stubbornness of the gargoyle.
