Tapping his foot impatiently with his shoe, Seth debated whether he should just simply turn around and go find another professor to chat with or to just go and patrol one of the corridors for troublemakers. It seemed like Professor Pierce wasn’t in her office anyway, so what really was the point standing out there waiting for someone to answer the door that clearly wasn’t there? Right, there was no point!

As the Hufflepuff had turned around and started walking away from the door, a strange and peculiar noise came from inside the office. Staring back at the door with a raised eyebrow, the blonde boy blinked his blue eyes several times. What in Merlin’s beard was that?!

Quickly making his way back to the office door, Seth knocked on the door a few more times once again. What in the world was Professor Pierce doing in there? After not getting a response once again, the boy placed his hand on the doorknob and turned it, surprised that the professor hadn’t even bothered to lock it. When the door opened with a light and quiet click, Seth entered the office and closed the door as quietly as he possibly could, not even noticing the little creature that was laying right in front of the professor’s desk.

Seeing that the professor was sleeping away in a bed next to the fair wall, Seth was rather confused. Where had that noise from before come from then? Hastily making his way over to the sleeping professor, he suddenly stopped when he had felt his foot meet contact with something squishier than the hard floor. Looking down, he then saw the skunk. Oh crap!
