It would sooooooo not go down well with his foster mother... because he wasn't planning on telling her anything about what had happened this term.
Okay, so Kazi KNEW he had something in his pocket, so there was no point in denying it anymore, so instead he went with the... truth?
"Please... ssssir. I cuh-can't... It's l-l-like... it ffffeels like something ruh-real bad will huh-happen if I do. You can't expel... I... I c-c-can't help it!"
As he said this, Jake s-l-o-w-l-y pushed his hand into his pocket... and left it there.
Preparing himself? Protecting them?
Who knooooows?
Kazimeriz smirked. He had dealt with harder cases than Upstead in his time, make no mistake about that.
"Very well." He flicked the wand at the quill, which lifted from its rest and dipped itself in ink, then poised itself over a parchment.
"I cannot help you if you do not wish to be cooperative, Mr. Upstead. Please remove your hands from your pockets." He glanced at the quill, leaning back as he began to dictate a letter.
"To the guardians of Jacob Upstead. Dear Sir or Madam: I regret to inform you that the child under your care has behaved in a manner most deplorable and in direct opposition to the code of conduct at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Despite our best attempts, it seems that he is unwilling to comply to the standards of school conduct. He is uncooperative and his behavior has become intolerable. We regret to state that we believe that we can do no more for him at this institution. Therefore..." he paused, sipping his tea and watching Jake as he dictated the letter. The quill zipped along, transcribing the professor's words.
