"Keep pushing, you'll find what you're after. You've got one shot left. I won't keep tolerating this willful defiance of yours." No, he really would not.

The Headmaster surveyed the room to see if there were any others who were yet to offer up a response. When he was satisfied he'd gone through the lot of them, it was time to begin the small activity but not before addressing the earlier question.

"A fair few of you have proven that you do understand what it means for me being your Headmaster. There may be less ground to cover than I'd first thought. For the exceptionally cheeky among you, I'll make it clearer. It means you do what I say when I say it and without question. It also means I'm a busy man that shouldn't be troubled with silly or frivolous things. Too often, I get called in for things that have nothing to do with the head of the school." Was that any better? Did they understand now?

"Up, all of you."

He waited for them to leave their seats before banishing them to the sides of the classroom to open up the floor in much the same way the dueling arena had an open space. Were they paying attention, they would notice the room had also grown in size to accommodate the coming activity. "We're going to be doing a little exercise to get us ready for the day's topic."

From his pocket, he pulled out a box filled with little sacks. "Come and take one. Each has five stones inside. Your job will be to protect your sack with everything you have in you while trying to take your partner's sack." A fair warning, they were welcome. Fairer still? "At the end oft he exercise, if you don't have any sacks, you will find yourself in detention. If you have your sack and someone else's, you gain the privilege of sending someone else to detention. Your own five keep your score at a steady neutral. Whatever means you see fit. Get it done."

He moved back to the window he'd been at earlier, leaning against it so he could have a good view of the room. "Well? What are you waiting for? Grab a sack and a partner and get moving."

OOC: This is the start of the mini activity, for which you'll have approx. 72 hrs. The basic idea is for your character to protect their sack whoever they see fit while trying however they see fit to take their partner's. Have fun! We'll be here keeping an eye in case something comes up or if there are questions!

Gosh. Someone must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed today. Or maybe he woke up late and didn't have time for breakfast and now he was hangry.

Morgan wasn't trying to lose any points like some of the others already had, so he didn't whisper anything to his bro, but he did give him a look and tried to convey a thought through mental telepathy - your dad is acting super weird today! Was it working? He kept staring at Kale, trying his hardest to transmit the message through thought, until he heard what the activity would be.

".....what?" he blurted out suddenly, unable to stop himself. Whoever lost their sacks would really get detention? That hardly seemed fair. Well, surely there was some loophole to this... He'd... just not lose his and, well, he didn't want to give anyone else detention because that just seemed cruel.

"C'mon, you want to be partners?" he asked Kale, already distracted and bothered by this. He wasn't going to try to give his bro detention either. Like it was part of bro code, he was sure of it.

Wilful defiance? Kale locked his jaw. His old man thought that this response was wilful defiance? Weeeeeeeeeeeeell, he was in for a rude awakening. This, dear father, was a call for help. Not defiance. But certainly, if he wanted defiance, his teenage son was more than happy to supply it.

Before he could think of another smart, recklessly impulse thing to say, MF caught his attention. And all of Gryffindor house and their points were glad for his intervention. Applause, young McCarthy. Standing ovation.

Kale worked his tightened jaw and nodded. “Yeah, lets do it.” He went to collect their sacks and very much did not look at the Headmaster. Big ol’ jerk that was nasty to his students and his OWN CHILDREN did not deserve his attention. The fourteen year old was ice cold.

He tossed MF his sack when he returned and asked, “So whattya think? We have any ground rules?” With two teenage lions, boundaries were often important.
