Professor Shackleton-Clark considered Angel's request and how best to handle it. She explained, "I am more than happy to discuss your homework with you, but I think it best if we do it privately through owl correspondence. I shall send you an owl with my comments and corrections and you can see where you made some mistakes and perhaps ask any questions that you might have. How does that sound?"

OOC: I'm requesting that we do this via PM as members are still submitting their homework and answering your question publicly may give members submitting later an advantage over those who have already submitted. Please send me a PM regarding this and I will certainly reply.

When she argued that he would be no safer unless he actually left the school, he silently thought that psychologically he would and the less interaction the better, but he thought he best not chance his luck.

"Thank you for your time Professor and I will think over it, but I don't think my Mothers or my decision will change anytime in the near future."

He gave her a weak smile, hoping he hadn't disappointed her too much as his Head of House for deciding to go ahead with this for these particular reasons. But what more was he to do? Allow himself as easy bait in Lupa's lessons? He didn't think so! Giving a quick, "Goodbye Professor," he freed the seat he was sat on for another student and left the office without another word.

Macadrian watched Varius leave her office, frown lines settling upon her face. So this is what it was going to be like from now on? Would the education of these students suffer because of Alessia's presence? Kids not learning an important subject out of fear? Not that it was Lupa's fault in the least, but how to reconcile this issue was beyond Macadrian at this point.

New home. Hmmm. "Erm... well, it's okay I think. I mean, my foster mother seems to think I'm old enough to do stuff on my own, but she's dead nice," he nodded, smiling greatly. "I just need to get used to it, I think," Jake added, digging one toe into the floor.

"The detentions were forrrrrrr..." Jake paused, thinking for a moment. What had he done last year? "Erm... a few things. One particular thing I remember him saying was 'your deplorable behaviour at the feast'," he explained, deepening his voice a little to resemble Kazi's. "Oh yeaaaahhhh... I threw a total tantrum at the feast and stuff. But... you, like, don't have to take points and stuff. That was last term. And he's taking care of it. With the detentions. That I didn't... go... to..."

Erm... yeah.

"But, I don't suppose I'll even have a chance to skive them this year," he muttered, making a face. "Kaz has eyes in the walls. I mean, Kazi. No! Kazimeriz! Yeah, thass it."

"I will speak with Professor Bunbury this evening. We have a staff meeting for the Quill, so I'll definitely see her there." Macadrian wondered how Anastasia was going to handle her questioning her approach on this matter. Only one way to find out.

Jake seemed okay with his foster home situation and Macadrian couldn't sense that there was any cause for concern, so she was sufficiently appeased by his response on that matter.

In the matter of Kazimeriz, well, that was another story altogether. She couldn't help but smirk a bit as Jake hurried to avoid getting house points taken off for last year's rule breaking. But she removed that smirk from her face as quickly as it appeared, "You said the detentions were for a few things? And you knowingly missed some detentions last term? Well, I'm sorry Mr. Upstead, but I can't really help you out of that one. I think those Saturday detentions might be something you're just going to have to suffer. Perhaps if you make a truly earnest effort to show him you've learned from your mistakes, he'll drop a few detentions off the end..." Although, Kazimeriz could be one tough cookie, so that might not work. Maybe though?
