Quote:
The large double doors to the Great Hall burst open with a flourish, their large frames banging against the wall on either side. Was it a great gust of wind? The next second proved elsewise as the Headmaster made his way into the room and up to the dais.
Without a word to any seated at the dais, the man took his spot at the centre of the table. He wore a smug little half smile that spoke volumes to a secret only he knew.
Rather, it was a secret he would no longer have to keep.
As the Headmaster took his seat, the strangest thing happened. The skin at his face began to bubble, as did the skin at his hands. If the man was fazed by this new development, he did not show it. Instead, the smile grew to a sinister grin. Messages had been sent off before he entered the Great Hall. Everything was falling into plan well and for the first in a long time, he was properly delighted.
In no time, the skin had peeled away and the hair took on its own transformation. Soon enough the Headmaster....seemed much less like the Headmaster and entirely like someone else.
Curious, indeed.
