He’d heard the scream, of course he had. It was loud, it was shrill and at the moment he couldn’t tell if it was danger or indignation. This early in the morning, he was hoping for the second. Given the direction, it could’ve been Gryffindors early to the caffeine high or a Ravenclaw experiment gone terribly wron—actually that one might have been a problem. He’d had Ravenclaw friends while in the castle and knew they could get up to about as much as any Gryffindor.
Malachi stood in the empty corridor, listening. One direction led him down the stairs toward breakfast and the other led to screaming. It was an obvious choice, one made more obvious by the continued screaming.
Merlin’s beard maybe it was urgent afterall.
Not willing to take chances in a place like this, the Headmaster broke into a sprint. Good thing he’d already been up here to run a matter by Kennedy. It put him close enough to get there in time....for....laughing....?
Wait what?
Malachi paused a moment to catch his breath while he looked about. Honestly, he wasn’t surprised to find a group of Gryffindors gathering. Not at all. He used to be in these gatherings. “What in Merlin’s....Merlin’s...” PHEW! Hang on, still needed a moment. It was a proper sprint. Oh sweet Circe his lungs. From the Astronomy Tower down then up Gryffindor tower before breakfast was not how he’d envisioned his morning. “Someone...” He gestured around vaguely to everyone present—even the Captain there on the floor—“Someone start explaining while I remind my lungs of what oxygen is.” Next time, he wouldn’t run so fast. Hopefully any danger would be able to wait until he got there on his own time. This wasn’t worth it.
