"What in the name of Merlin's candy apple red racing broom is the meaning of this?" he demanded, trying to remember. There had been water... he was wet... flooding! It was all starting to come back to him. But how did he get... wherever he was? Obviously, someone had hit him with a stunner- probably in the back, as he was always vigilant and on guard, after all.
Obviously. Maybe it had even been Truebridge. Or Lawson. Yes. After all they had been up to, he would not be a bit surprised. They were out to kill him. Perhaps even responsible for...
The flooding! There had been a student... He looked to Maximus for an explanation, for information. "Maximus?" he asked, utterly disoriented and confused.
Anna watched carefully as Professor Kazimeriz seemed to slowly come around. She imagined he would be a bit disoriented upon waking up, but hopefully he wouldn't be too startled. Her eyes widened, and she jumped back when he suddenly drew his wand.
Merlin! That man pointing a wand in your direction could result in...in...in being splinched into seven different pieces and hung from your toes off Gryffindor tower. She stood still as a board, thinking that any possible movement might draw his attention to her. When he began calling out for Professor Vindictus, though, she relaxed and let out a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding in.

And he stepped back to allow the students to hover over the potions professor.
Thus separating himself from Kazimeriz, Vindictus went over to the fireplace and stood before it. Soooo much better. Now for something warm to drink and a snack. "Anyone care for tea or hot cocoa? Perhaps some brownies?"
"I can help, as well," Anna said, blinking and coming to after having being startled over Kazimeriz's wand being drawn. Anna stepped forward and watched over Professor Kazimeriz, frowning just a little bit at the thought that the poor man had nearly met his end. Sure, he was a bit...or, well, a
lot...on the strict side, but she didn't wish death upon
anyone. She only turned her eyes from Professor Kazimeriz when Professor Vindictus asked if anyone would like some hot cocoa. Yumm. Hot cocoa sounded really good at a time like this. Sure, she wasn't exactly drenched in water like a few people were, but if yummy hot cocoa was being handed out, who was she to deny the chocolatey goodness?

It had taken a moment, but he had it. Head trauma, indeed. "I... am... fine." He looked to Maximus, hoping that was true. And what about that student? Who had it been? He felt so out of sorts.
At least he hadn't said 'fainted'. Ladies fainted and swooned. Certainly not ex-Aurors and gentlemen. "I have no need to rest, Maximus. Besides, there is a student... in the water... I heard..." He trailed off, suddenly unsure and hate hate HATING the feeling. "I need no supervision, and certainly not from a bunch of students and a man who is only a breath away from his time in short pants himself. I am... Fine." He insisted, moving to get up off the table. Dizzy? Yes. But fine.
"It's alright, Professor Kazimeriz. Helios was the student in the water," she said, turning to glance at the Hufflepuff boy, "...but he's made it out safe and sound." She knew he didn't want to be 'tended to', though. Would one expect anything different from Professor Kazimeriz? Of course not! If he was stating that he was fine, then he was fine...unless some sort of serious condition arose. "I'm glad you're doing fine, sir," she simply said, taking a small step back to give him a bit more room.

Lyra had been standing quietly over to the side watching the little show go on. She couldn't believe what she was hearing from that mean professor. GAH! "Professor Kazimeriz," thank goodness I didn't call him KraziKazi "Sir, may I ask, why are you so mean?" They were around other students, it couldn't be such a bad question to ask.
"Lyra Noir!" Anna fussed. "You shouldn't say such to a person, especially not when they've just overcome a terrible ordeal." She made a face at Lyra, then nudged her gently in the side. If she didn't watch out, her
children's children's children would be joining the Morgan descendants in detention, as well. She lowered her voice, then added, "
Do you have a death wish, or have you simply lost your mind?"
