Taking a few uneven strides backwards, his legs still suffering from the slip in his escape up the stairs while fleeing from the mist, Thereos remained silent as the parcels were passed and students began engaging the creatures. Or rather, the creatures began engaging them.

"MISS CASTILLO," he barked at the Slytherin as she began running. "You disrespect and inability to follow directions has just earned you a detention. Be grateful we are here and not near the mist or it too may have claimed you as well." He stomped his hooves, trotting in place a moment and wincing at the sharp pain that shot through his leg. Wherever she thought she was fleeing to was futile, the exit to the room would not be summoned until he wished it so.

The centaur then bowed his head in apologies to their companions of the day and snorted loudly while his gaze shifted to the others as they respectfully continued to follow his guidance.

Making a mental note to show Miss McCarthy and Mr. McCarthy proper appreciation later, it was the latter which drew his attention next.

"The word you are searching for is scatomancy," he informed the Slytherin. "The reading of one's fortune by examining bodily excrement."

Which answered his question, yes?

Dark eyes shifting towards the Hufflepuff prefect, he took a few calculated paces in her direction. "The divine art is a seriously subject, Miss Calrissian. Your hyena laughter will only startle." Particularly considering he could see the unicorn label on her bag. "I suggest you gather yourself."

Tail swishing subtly, Thereos would allow their attempts to go on for a few more minutes.

OOC: you still have approximately 24 hours for this mini activity!
