~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Late night? If Professor Holden only knew. “Something like that, Sir,’’ Jude replied flatly but politely. It was easier to say rather than explaining that he had major issues sleeping. On a normal day, he would have made a crack at the wrinkles {maybe even throw in a little joke about gray hairs too} but not today. Instead of doing his crossword, Jude doodled musical notes symbols. He ignored everyone except Keigh. He had wondered how long it would be until his shadow got there. Jude waved his quill at her while giving her a small smile then he promptly went back to his doodling.
It was only due to his attempts to play things normal did he flip the crossword over. His doodles printed through quite clearly in one corner of the back of the page, the reverse side of where the doodles were done.
The Hufflepuff raised his hand about halfway up. “Fortius Quo Fidelius means ‘Strength Through Loyalty’.” It was one of the mottos of someplace here in the Wizarding World. And the quote had stuck with him because he was big on loyalty. |
