The lengths he went to disguise himself were admirable, laughable but anything he needed to do to get over what he imagined must have been a truly embarrassing moment in the young man's life. He'd be a good Headmaster and not bring it up. "Hello strange boy I've never seen before, who certainly didn't profess anything to me." Yep, he was a pro at this pretending. A natural.
Malachi looked once again to his watch. Only a few minutes left til they could get this show on the road. He looked to those already present. "Watch your step and where you stand while we wait for the others to arrive. I'm afraid when I cast the charm, my wand added it's own little additions." Creepy crawlies along the floor. Overly muddy areas that would make shoes awful messy. He wasn't sure what else. He probably should have checked to find out what else.
Nothing they couldn't handle he was sure! Nothing dangerous at least, so not a tremendous concern for him.
"We'll begin in another couple minutes."
Oh noooo...he recognized him. Under his hoodie Mark's face flushed red. Not had he recognized him but the Headmaster made an awful attempt to play off last evening as if nothing happened. That would only draw more attention between them.
Still continuing to try faking his voice Mark just nodded at him and said "Uh yeah. Stranger Sir. I didn't say anything to about anything that happened the night before I had no control over." OH AH!! That just made it worse he was sure of it.
The second year Ravenclaw took a few more steps behind a couple other students and felt his foot sink just a bit into a muddy patch in the floor or uh...ground pulling his foot up the bottom of his shoe now ruined. Just as the Headmaster warned them of little additions.

"Gather round, gather round." He waited a moment for the ones further away to move closer. "Right then, first lesson you'll learn here, late students will not be permitted into the classroom. You've all found yourself on the right side of the door and it would do you well to keep finding yourself on the right side of it." At current, the door was sealed shut magically. It wouldn't open until it needed to be. "Nothing any of you need to concern yourself with today." No, they were present and accounted for.
With the door closed, the lantern in his hand was essentially the only light source. The cloud settling over the moon hadn't moved an inch. It would be doing them no favours this morning tonight.
"I'd like everyone to take a look around." It was obvious they weren't in a classroom at the moment, yes, but had they been taking any real note of their surroundings? How many of them considered the setting and were already actively thinking about the lesson's possibilities? Coming in and chatting with friends was alright (when kept in check), but surely it could wait. This was time for learning.
"Tell me an issue or outright danger you can run into while travelling through this sort of terrain, especially but not limited to it being nighttime." Basically, what could go wrong?
Hinkypunks were certainly a major danger in this sort of location, but Mark wanted to think outside the box. Continuing to mask his voice he spoke up. "If it's dark out like this and your alone or are separated from your group. Red Caps could find you an easy target if they are burrowed underground." He figured the Hinkypunk was the better answer but Mark wanted to try for something different.
