Jake had been about to mention the previous year, but bit down on his tongue before he let anything slip. Didn't want to sound crazy, did he? "Luh-Lupa wwwwas gonna ttttell him to sssend me there. Ssshhe..."
Again, Jake trailed off, grinding a palm to the side of his head. "Iiiii don't want... Sent aw-away... Do we hhhhave to say an-anything? It wwwere a dream..."
A freakishly real feeling dream.
"
Ohp. Phuh. Professor Lupa." Kapoor waved his hand. "
She was probably just trying to suggest what she thought best, but, she needn't be there. And, I happen to know that Headmaster Bontecou greatly values his students well-being. If you ask him to remain discreet, I can't imagine that he would override your feelings, Jake." He reminded the young lad.
"
We don't have to say anything as this was all a dream. But, as it is causing you so much ...distress, you may want to say something. Even if nothing is to be done about it, it still helps to talk about it and you may gain the understanding of the man in charge. But..." He began with a sigh. "
If you really, truly have no wish to speak with the Headmaster yourself, I've been meaning to pay him a visit and if you would like, I could go to him and speak on your behalf."
