Patrick was headed back to the common room after Quidditch practice when he would normally pass by the kitchen, grab a snack, and then head off to the common room for homework or bed. He was just about to turn and scratch the pear when he realized it wasn't there.

He turned and headed off to the Headmaster's office. He would not be getting caught standing in front of another accident like he was with the house point systems. His feet pounded the ground as he took off.
