HEAVY SIIIIIIIGH.
"Erm, well..." Impartial, well... that was easy, just tell it how it happened. You've already paid the price... s'all good. Kinda. "We were on the seventh floor... and well, when I say 'we' I mean me and Clark," Jake elaborated. Truebridge knew Clark, right? Everyone knew Clark. "Well, Clark pulled down the tapestry... and Dani, my..." GIRLFRIEND "... other friend. She came along and said that IIIIIIIIIII did it too. But I didn't. And this was before we were friends... and I got really angry, because she wasn't even THERE, so how could she know, anyway? And it was an outright LIE... and I don't like that... I got mad... and... I shouted at her, and Healer Avalon told me to stop, and I didn't and..." Jake stopped for a second, realising his speech had quickened significantly, and an uncomfortable look crossed his face. "And I kind of... charged at her... Dani... and she was hiding behind the Healer... I didn't hit them though, I swear!" he promised, eyes widening a little.
Now what else was it? Oh yes... Lawson... Should he say? Meh, already started. "I don't think he likes me, Professor Lawson that is. But yeah, he set up a meeting in Hogsmeade... got Kayla Winters to come..." Jake added, swinging his feet back and forth. "Remember her? Yeah, in Hogsmeade... she made me really angry..." he admitted, suddenly remembering. "And I kinda bit her... not hard... but... yeah..."
Ahem.
"This is Loretta. She was my second wand. I had her for a year. Before her was Betsy," Ethan pointed to the shelves where another wand was displayed in a special case, quite unusual in appearance due to the Vipertooth fang that had split it almost perfectly in two, up to the half-way point anyhow. He moved over to Betsy and placed Loretta next to her.
Sigh.
Where were they?
Oh yes.
"You realise, that when you get angry and lose your ability to think rationally, you also lose the ability to explain things rationally and appear to be guilty even if you are not?" Ethan paused, watching Jake carefully. "I have a few questions for you."
Axe? Kayla Winters?
"Why do you think Professor Lawson doesn't like you?"
He'd get to the biting part.
