"That" Marcus said strolling to the edge of the dias and sitting down, letting his feet dangle over the edge. "Was for being an idiot." He smirked at the kid as he lay on the floor bound by the ropes.

"What year are you in Jake? Second maybe third?" Lawson twirled all three wands through his fingers as he gazed down at Jacob. "And you thought you would be able to trick a grown man who has twenty odd years of experience on you. Who also used to be an auror. Not particularly smart I must say."

Marcus swung his feet back and forth while he contemplated exactly what he was going to do with this child. "I am sorely tempted to leave you here and let you figure out how to get out of the ropes without a wand. I am also tempted to hang you from the ceiling by your toenails." He chuckled softly at that, oh he has so done that before. "Instead I am going to let you go...diffindo" he said pointing his wand at Jacob and releasing him from his bindings. Marcus hopped off the dias and headed for the exit. "You will come back here tomorrow for another lesson Mr Upstead and you can get your wand back during DADA class. So I suggest you get there early" he called over his shoulder as he headed out the door.
