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.
Ohjeez. OH JEEEEZ!
THE OLD MAN WAS SERIOUS!
Starting to breathe a little frantically, hyperventilating almost, Jake ran his free hand through his hair and whacked his fist up against his head, willing himself to think properly. He shook in his chair, hand still in his pocket...
When the professor reached the word 'therefore', Jake suddenly stood up. "STOP!" he cried out frantically, losing control for a minute and exhibiting, for once, a real display of magic. Stupid emotions. The quill Kazi was controlling suddenly moved as if Jake had pulled it across the parchment, striking through the letter so far at large.
He shook again as he took his hand from his pocket, this time holding five stones in his hand. If he had to choose... he'd rather stay without the stones than leave with them. If Kazi took them... he'd easily get them back. "I duh-don't want to go to Durmstrang..." Jake said quietly, his hand hanging limply by his side, the stones quite visible.
