Well... tough.

Oh, grrrrr. Looked like he'd have to sneak in if the headmaster was taken away.

Speaking perfectly, Jake looked to the gargoyle and then around at the others, before looking at the gargoyle again. "I require a private audience with the headmaster," he said quietly, not stuttering or stammering at all, but ready to start faking them in case someone familiar came along. It would have been so much easier if the speech impediments stayed at times like these. But, alas, they did not.

If the Headmaster left with the older, extremely annoying bossy boy, Jake would just go straight up. Yup. Yup, he would.

What would he be talking to the Headmaster about as a cover? Well, Professor Bunbury and Kazimeriz, of course. If he could get the nosy old coot fired in the process of this (unlikely as it was) then that was just an added bonus.

As for Bunbury... something deep inside of him wanted her in trouble. Or something. It was a good job he could remember all that stuff, too.

Jake muttered a quick "Expelliarmus,"... and then... he blinked.

And looked around.

And blinked again.

"No way," he whispered again, dropping the wand and stepping backwards a few steps, before dropping to his knees and clutching his head.
