Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

So much for continuing on with their work. While some students had managed (with quite a bit of success to the point it seemed they hadn't noticed at all) to ignore Slytherin, there were others who were now clearly and heavily distracted.

Like Ryan.

"Remain calm, McCarthy. Give him some room and he should be fine so long as he's breathing." Fainting on sight, it was as if all the defense classes had taught the boy nothing. "Do keep an eye on him though. If he's not up in 3 minutes, we'll get the Healer." Honestly, Ryan. As if the rest of the lesson wasn't threatening to fall all around them. This was no time to lose consciousness.

"Just a few more minutes to get some casting in before we move on. If you haven't already, get to it--"

And then the door slammed open.

And then Gryffindor walked in.

And then Malachi Trent was seeing near red again, the image of his arena suddenly coming back to mind. "YOU." No comment on the faint of heart. Despite Blaze's protest, Ryan had done that all on his own. He'd literally fainted. It was open and shut. No. What the Headmaster focused on was the madman who had children destroy his arena.

"You've got some nerve showing up after what you did." Not a trace of guilt. No apology. "We're not apologizing to Gryffindor, Rose." He reminded mildly. "We're barely letting him stay." Further formalities were unnecessary. "You should instead be apologizing for allowing young students to run off with him and not reporting it at any point." And a pointed look there. Yes, he'd heard about it all after. She was still a Prefect. She...did remember that, yes?

"Perhaps you men would prefer to take this back to my office. I can meet you there after the lesson is--hang on." While he spoke, a thought suddenly occurred to him. Malachi looked from the men to the door to the men again. They'd certainly proven one theory correct but... "How did you get through my door?" The Headmaster had long ago ruled out polyjuice for the fact that anyone who wanted to infiltrate the castle for nefarious reasons wouldn't be so overt and would choose disguises that didn't so obviously stand out. NOW they'd crossed his door that was charmed to attack any human that walked through. That door proved they weren't alive, not in any sense that the charms he set would recognize. Add that a few of the portraits were also acting wonky and the man had a fair idea of what was going on. It was proving inconvenient, to say the least.

He looked to the students. "Focus is key in a duel. You'll keep your focus and ignoring them is good practice in doing so." He had this, they had work to do.


OOC: Hey all, still another 24 hrs to get in some practice with your partner before we move on. Feel free to carry on or interact with the founders in distracted fashion lol. I'll be back to move this class once the time is up.
