Will, from his place plopped in the bowl of water, smiled up at Borr. "Sir, I do apologize. Someone must have slipped elixir of insanity in my morning pumpkin juice. It won't happen again, sir. Thank you for the lesson."

Jose took the nail clippers and used them to trim his finger nails with.

"Too highly of myself? I think of myself the way I am meant to," Ignatius said. "Yes I see them. I see you belittling them. And making them behave like petulant children." He shook his head and sighed, "What are you going to do next? Make them jump through hoops like little monkies?" He clasped his hands together, "When I met you, I thought you were the most amazing man in the school. Someone with real class. But now I see what you are. You are using your status to make these boys beg and grovel to actually achieve something. They can achieve without having to sit in water and trying to suck up to you."

"I trimmed my nails this morning, thank you."

Maddox sat at his desk trimming his nails. He couldnt believe that he was going through this. But he swalloed his pride and took this like a man and sat clipping his nails just so he could get points for his house. "Yes sir, trimming as we speak."

Kingston looked down at his own nails and frowned. They're already trimmed. Anymore trimming and he'd cut his skin. With a gulp, he raised his hand and gave a slight cough. "Sir, sorry to interrupt your lesson, but my nails are already trimmed. I'd trim them even more if that is what you wish for, Sir."

Will began to trim his nails as he continued to stew in the bowl of water. Of course you know, this means WAR. he thought, smiling up at Lord Borr.

Still wiggling his backside happily in the bowl of water, Clifford glared in Iggy's direction. Was there any point of putting so much hard work and effort into his homework if stuck up idiots like him were going to have those points taken away again? Ugh!

The warm water had completely soaked through his quaffle decorated underwear by this point and Clifford plopped himself further into the bowl, another gigglesnort escaping when the water splashed up his back.

Picking up the strange nail cutting thingymajigs and giving a small shrug, he began clipping at his nails.

Barry started trimming away at his nails. How he despised Borr but he couldn`t let it get to him just look at Ignatius for instance.

"From someone I put into such a HIGH position - I'd HOPE not, William. You really ought to be QUITE ashamed of yourself. And then to let your - peer - openly disobey? How sad of a day you are having. Truly sad." Lord Borr almost looked like he pitied him, which only showed how un-manly Lord Borr found Will to be.

"Of course, Kingston. Or course. I should have known. Please, do me the favor of escorting Ignatius from my room. HE IS NO LONGER WELCOME TO BE TAUGHT BY ME. He is not worthy and is only taking away valuable lesson time from the rest of you. Escort him out, and then come back. No dawdling, son!"



With the rest of the class behaving so well, Lord Borr thought it best to treat them all. "Since the rest of you are behaving like gentlemen, I think a little reward is due!" From behind Lord Borr's desk, he pulled up a larger than life sized basket full of Miss Melita's special cookies. "When your nails are clean and trim, you may come up and get ONE COOKIE, and then return to your bowl."

Barry got up went to Borr bowed took a cookie said "Thank you sir" bowed again and went back and sat down in his bowl. Hopefully that would impress him.

Jose decided just to do his nails and stay were he was.

Kingston gave a nod to Borr and stood up, his pants dripping wet from the water it had sucked. With a deep breath to calm his nerves, he kept reminding himself about how this was worth something big. Something that will get Hogwarts back. Hopefully.

Walking towards Iggy, Kingston grabbed the boy by the arm and pulled him up. "Come on you," he muttered darkly, dragging the boy along with him towards the door. Once there, he pushed him out and then immediately shut the door.

Taking out his wand, Kingston pointed it at his pants and dried them up. He didn't want to catch a cold, of course. Walking back to his desk, he sat down and watched as some of the boys stood up and took a piece of cookie.

It seemed Lord Ogre wasn't so bad after all! He had cookies! That alone was enough to put him in Clifford's good books, even after all of this weirdness. Clifford loved cookies!

Examining his neatly trimmed nails, satisfied that they were okay, Clifford bounded back to his feet, cringing slightly as the water ran down his legs. That part wasn't so nice.

"Thank you Mister. Professor, Sir!" Clifford bowed his head slightly as he grabbed himself a cookie and nibbled around the edges. "Hmmhmm. These are deee-lish."

With a wide grin, he hurriedly made his way back to his bowl of water. It was a good bottom warming device.

Maddox trimmed up his nails and made sure his hands were spotless. He was being offered food of course he was going to take it, even if he didnt like the teacher. Thats how some teachers were though. "How are they sir?" He asked hoping he could get a cookie. he was very hungry.

Flynn heard the word cookies and how they were allowed to take one. However, he remained on his wet floor with his eyes closed and thumb in his mouth. He had 'misbehaved' earlier, so he wasn't sure Lord Borr would grace him with such a reward and decided to keep his position.

He was being escorted from the lesson? How undignified. He removed his feet from the desk. And was suddenly pulled to his feet, by Kingston no less.

He grabbed his bag as he was pushed towards the door. "See you later Lord Borr. I still owe you a cane."

Then the door was slammed in his face. Oh well to the common room.

Will finished his nails and went to take a cookie, glancing at Iggy. He was sorry he hadn't followed his lead and refused, but honestly, there had to be better ways to retaliate against Lord Bore.

He went back to the bowl, holding the cookie. Thinking back, he remembered that these were the cookies that 'cleared out' Borr's pipes. Oh, no WAY am I eating this thing. he thought, praying the other students wouldn't either, just in case they were as affected by gas attacks as Borr had been. With so many students in the room... Oh, Merlin no-- the idea of it was too horrific to contemplate. Will bit his lip but a fit of giggles escaped him anyway as he imagined students running from the room, gasping for air, all of them with their trouser seats soaking wet. Oh, LAWD have MERCY!

"They are the best cookies EVER MADE," Lord Borr assured everyone. "Miss Melita has a TRUE gift. I TRUE gift for cooking. If she weren't the best little teacher in Potions, she should have made herself into a gourmet cook! Everyone! Eat one! I insist. Most of you have been SUCH good lads today! Lord Borr is proud of you!"

Jose wasn't sure this was another test but they did look good.No he thought to himself "sorry Lord Borr I can't I am keeping myself in shape"

Maddox took a cookie and went back to his seat and sat down. The cookie was very tastey and he was really hungry. "Thank you sir they are good."

Only when Borr said they could eat he started eating. They where good apart from a little gassy taste which he made himself ignore after one bite and swallowing he said to Lord Borr "Thank you sir for letting us have some"

The best cookies ever made? Oh, Merlin, no no no... Will started to giggle-- he just couldn't help it. Everyone was being commanded to eat one of Lord Farty's Famous cookies!!!Oh gawd! Oh heavens! It was PRECIOUS! And all of 'em, sittin' in little bowls... bowls of water... like... like... little teeny jacuzzi tubs, soon to be all a'bubblin' up with cookie-stank! Will struggled to restrain himself, doubling over with silent laughter at the thought, his shoulders shaking as he giggled like a darn fool.

"You would offend Miss Melita if you didn't at least try one of her cookies! I insist. Flynn? You think you can walk up here and get a cookie without falling? Crawl if you must, but you've been pretty good and may have a cookie."

"How are the nails coming?"

"I have told you Lord Borr I am on a special diet" replied Jose "I have some big events coming along and I need to stay in shape and the nails are coming along fine"

Kingston kept his mouth shut tightly when Borr offered the cookie. Well, he was not going to eat that for sure. First of all because he was a vegan and he wasn't sure about the continents. Second, he was SURE that those cookies caused gas. That murderous odor that he and Will had to bear in one of the meetings he had with Borr.

Walking up to Borr, Kingston took a cookie and gave him a warm smile. He then walked back and bent down to speak to Jose. "Take a cookie, you little bugger." He hissed. "Take it then throw it away. Trust me. Just do it."
