"MY HEEEEEERO!!! " He declared in the same high, girlish voice, his arms held out to Professor Truebridge as the wave of water rushed Peeve's 'raft' toward him. "Oh, Jack, I'll nevah let go!!!"
He held his hand out to him and burst into song:
"You're.... HEEEEEEEEERE.... there's NOOOOOOTHING I fear...
And I
KNOOOOOW
that my heart will go onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!"
He cackled wildly as his raft approached Professor Truebridge, fluttering his eyelashes coquettishly and extending his arms to Truebridge, his hero, his savior from this water-logged ship school.
Ethan flicked his wrist, casting a shield strong enough to bounce the raft and the Poltergeist away from himself and the old man behind him. Still, the surge of water was almost enough to rush Truebridge off his feet, had he not taken a grip on the bannister and he stumbled, being careful not to lose his wand and double checking the little cat was okay.
The set of his shoulders made it obvious that he was quite infuriated. "Can we go
now?" He spoke in a flat tone, ignoring Peeves even though he was curious to know why the poltergeist had called him Jack.
He wondered if Annie would make him some tea after this was over.
