Delivering a note on behalf of Professor Morgan?! HA! The hell you are; more likely than not, Cel-an-dine was totally and one hundred and ten percent STALKING him. There was no other explanation.
But the History Professor seemed to buy the lame excuse of using the Creatures Professor and took her in seriously. Figures he would; bloody Ravenclaws. Sureee... sure... write a response ... wasn't like he had anyplace to go. Or anyone to see. Actually, the sad thing was that it was probably the truth. Only things he had left were Quidditch Practice and OWL studies, perhaps Prefect duties too, but really nothing.
Finally, Truebridge looked back at him quite indifferently. Figures that NOW he would want to ask his opinion of things. He pondered the two alternatives before him; Cel-an-dine already knew of his little sonnet thing thanks to Kapoor but sharing what he learned? It was true though that he never doubted his own worth, but that was really the advantage of writings. No one said it had to be truthful. Maybe ... Perhaps Cel-an-dine could help him with his learning actually... It was the other matter though, unrelated to the sonnet which would have to wait until he was done and she was gone.
Exhaling deeply, for he had not realized he had been holding his breath, the corner of Dom's lips twitched upward slightly. "We can continue now. No worries." Honest with himself and Krazi... and Truebridge. "Well, if I could be truthful, which with you, Professor, I think that I can... I honestly feel that what I have learned is to really never try to interfere with a Professor's decision or wrath. Particularly Kraz... Kazimeriz. While you might have good intentions in wanting to protect your housemates--" even those with biting temperaments "--it would be better to just allow the Professor to take his wrath out on whoever his victim is. And then if perhaps later, after the situation has fizzled out, if I feel that student has been treated unjustly, then to go to the Headmaster or my Head of House."
"Excellent." Ethan answered, beginning to write a response for Iliana. He paused the scratching of his quill and looked up at Dominic, "What I think you need to understand, is that we have our reasons for doing things that may not always be clear from the get go. Professor Kazimeriz is someone that demands respect, but more than that, he
deserves it. You can learn from him, I certainly did and my lessons were much harsher than this." Ethan glanced at a portrait of himself on the bookcase, in Slytherin robes.
With a quick look at Celandine he added, "He is very good at fitting the punishment, not only to the crime but to the culprit. Tell me Dominic, if you can, what were the terms of this... sonnet sharing?"
