Ah, a professor. The boy went back to what he was doing, expecting that she'd quietly do her business while he did his. The owl took off, flying out over the grounds of Hogwarts and taking Daphne Hopton's letter with it.

He hadn't expected the professor to approach him or even talk to him, so when she did, he was... er, slightly surprised, to say the least. His arm lowered, preventing an owl from jumping onto him, and he looked at the woman.

"At the moment, Professor?" he asked, mustering half a smile. When she offered peppermint, he nodded, vaguely remembering someone doing the very same thing once before when he'd had a stomach ache. This wasn't a stomach ache, but... well peppermint couldn't hurt. "Just a bit... overwhelmed. Never had so many people tell me not to die within such a small amount of time."

They were only saying what he assumed most everyone was thinking, but... well. It didn't really need to be said, did it. Wasn't like he had control over anything. He couldn't tell them to not use dragons in a task, or anything like that. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the few letters remaining in his hands, wrinkling the edges a little bit.

Josephina had perhaps anticipated he would have wanted the quiet up here. Which is why she didn't speak terribly much, because she had her own business to take care of. And he wanted, no needed the quiet. The piece.

"Amazing, huh?" Fina mused, leaning against the wall of the owlery. "It's like... until your life is maybe at risk. Until something grand happens to you, you didn't even know people noticed you. And then, all of a sudden, it's like BAM! and you're all of a sudden the most popular guy." Rambling lesson from Fina? Totally unexpected. Not that she knew any of that from personal experience, since she generally was on the invisible side of the fence. But she could still relate.

"Look, I don't know what to tell you, except ... if you ever need a place to vent or just breath, my office is an open door." She paused, looking meaningfully at him. "To you or any of the other champions."
