Absentmindedly stroking Charlie's head, Jake sat looking very distracted, almost as though he was somewhere else entirely. "I ssssaid I'd be ggood this yyyear, didn' I?" he said vaguely, adressing Lawson but looking at the tarantula.
Really? Planning stupid things? That was absurd! That was uncalled for! That was... actually quite accurate.
"I'll get it bbback," Jake commented quietly, staring at Lawson again. The boy still felt bad that he'd managed to get that thing confiscated last year. Sure, he was going to be good this year, but also deviously underhand.
Chyeah.
"How's Pppprofessor Mo-... Lawson the sssecond?" Jake asked, and for once it seemed like the art of dry humour was present within him. Something was different with him, that was for sure.
But he just wanted to go home.
Looking around at the deserts around the table, Jake reached out for some pie of his own, knowing full well it was covered in sugar. Before his hand even reached it the boy turned to Lawson. "C'n I hhhhave some?" he asked, since Lawson KNEW how he reacted under the influence of sugar (COUGHdiagonalleyCOUGH) and... well, he just felt the need to ask the man permission.
Well that was certainly unexpected, Marcus hadn't expected Jake to be so honest and forthright and he couldn't help but frown slightly as he watched Jake pet Charlie. "Yes you did and I am willing to take your word for it but if I hear otherwise and you know I will..." He didn't bother to finish the sentence, Marcus knew the boy would know what would happen.
He was tempted to tell Jake, that he didn't need to get the amulet back because he had plenty more of them but decided against it. He kinda wanted to see if the boy could actually talk Kazi into giving it back to him.
Marcus' face lit up at the mention of Iliana and he gave Jake a small knowing look before chuckling softly. "Oh she is very good. I should probably get back to her before the feast finishes." Thank Merlin his wife was very understanding and realised how much of a child he could be at times.
He had reached out and grabbed Jake's hand just as the boy asked if he could have some pie. "No." And there was a lot of feeling in that one word. Marcus was not going through another episode like the one in DA. "Come to my office after the feast, I have some sugar free snacks in there."
Yes you heard correctly, Marcus Lawson carried sugar free snacks.

"I'm glad to hear that. My summer was good, thankyou. I had the opportunity to go to the Quidditch World Cup. Did you have a chance to go, sir?" She was curious to know if he was interested in the game. Like, really, who wasn't? Hehe! At his compliment, her cheeks reddened. "Thankyou, Professor." she looked down, "It was quite a surprise." Another cup? Oh gosh. She became nervous thinking about it , her mouth went dry and she swallowed hard. "Oh, I-I'm just going to hope for the best." Oh, she dearly wished Kaika was here. "But you know...it would be nice." Yes. It totally would be nice to win again. "Did you play Quidditch when you were a student, sir?" She remembered thier talk the year before, about how he had met Professor Truebridge and was a bit of a loner. But she couldn't remember there being anything said about the sport.
"Actually no I didn't get to go." Marcus threw Jake a sideways glance and there was a definite hint of laughter in his eyes. "I decided to try my hand camping in the wilderness...muggle style."
Never again!!!
Marcus gave her a pat on the shoulder and chuckled softly, "Ah I am sure you will do a great job Miranda. Doesn't matter if you win, so long as you have fun right?" Not sure if that was the right thing to say, he knew how seriously these people took their sports. At her question, Marcus burst out laughing, "Me? Play quidditch? Er...no I didn't. Wasn't my thing, I was more at home on the stage with a guitar in my hand." And a crowd of screaming girls in front of him. "Come and see me anytime Miranda but I think should head back to my wife now."

There was no way she was going to break that promise now when she had did good keeping it.
Marcus nodded at Reese, getting all excited because he thought she was going to bring him some chocolate. "Okay, I'll catch you later Reese." Yep he really needed to head back to the staff table.

"Defen - oops Muggle Studies. I used to teach DADA but the Headmaster thought it would be better if I taught Muggle Studies instead." Of course Marcus had forgotten to mention that it had been Professor Kazimeriz (acting headmaster last term) that had decided that and not the new guy.
"Well it was really nice to meet you Arya but I think I better head back to the staff table now, my wife probably thinks I have gotten lost or something." He was just lucky that Iliana was a very understanding woman. "Call by my office anytime you like."

She got cut off by the crowd moving out of the feast and towards their dorms and various other places. "I think I should be going now, Professor. But I'll be sure to stop by you're room sometime soon! Muggle studies now, correct?" She'd heard a few rumors here and there...
"Yes I need to get back to my wife" he chuckled as he walked alongside Kylie. "That's correct Muggle Studies now and my door is always open." Marcus gave Kylie a wave as he sauntered back to the staff table.
