--INVITE ONLY--

If you were not invited here by Lord Berty Borr - then get out!

Trespassers will be punished as Lord Borr sees fit.

The lounge is an extension of Lord Borr's office. The room is rectangular, with burgundy leather couches and dark wood side tables lining each wall. It smells faintly of cigar smoke and there's a larger than life portrait of Lord Borr over the fireplace.

The use of this room is none of your business unless you are invited to enter it. So, bug off.

**Berty Borr** · 06-25-2008, 04:20 PM

"I did NOT fall asleep!" Lord Borr informed Mr. Wendleworth. He stomped back over to his door, opened it, grabbed Mr. Jones by his collar and hefted him inside. "You two have some serious explaining today! I suggest you rethink your story because I'm LORD BORR and I do NOT sleep on the job! How dare you make such an accusation! You're SOOO lucky we're in the privacy of my lounge or I would have to wad you up and kick you like a football!"

XanaSnape · 06-25-2008, 04:46 PM

Will was just starting to relax, leaning up against the wall, when ~~King Kong~~ Borr reached his mighty hand out and yanked him inside by the collar, nearly strangling him in the process.

Oh, nargles! Now we're in for it. Will thought with a sigh, coughing as he tried to recover. He looked to Kingston; the sticking of the Borr and subsequent sleep charm had been his fault, really, so he waited for him to start explaining. This had better be good. I hope you brought your tapshoes, Kingston, because you'd better start dancing fast-- or we're both dead. he thought, groaning inwardly.

Nienna · 06-27-2008, 09:53 AM

Kingston's eyes widened as Borr's anger seemed to increase. Oh boy, was he in trouble now. Taking a few steps back, Kingston was afraid he'd be jumped on by the huge man.

His eyes widened even more if it was possible when Lord Borr grabbed Will and pulled him inside. The boy didn't have anything to do with it! With a gulp, he looked at Lord Borr with serious eyes.

"Of course, my lord." Kingston bowed. "I am such a fool to accuse you of falling asleep. What was I thinking about? Really, I must've hit my head hard." Very hard With that sentence, he rubbed the bump on his head. "You, are Lord Borr Berty. One of the greatest nobleman in Britian," right "And you, Sir, do not fall asleep."

Turning his gaze onto Will, he gave him an "I'm sorry you had to be dragged into this.

"My Lord, I am ready for any punishment you are ready to throw at me. And may I please ask that Mr. Jones wouldn't be pulled into this. He is not at fault. He had nothing to do with this, my lord."

Taking a deep breath, he took a step in front of Borr and lowered himself on his knees. "I have disappointed you. I am mad at myself for doing so, my lord. I thought I was making you proud by trying to make you so comfortable with your stay here at Cooper's school, but instead I have disappointed you. And like I have said, my lord. I am ready for any punishment you throw at me." With his last words, he lowered his head, ready for anything.

**Berty Borr** · 06-27-2008, 02:45 PM

"BAH!" Lord Borr threw his hands up and turned his back on both the miniature men. He turned his nose up. "You think so little of me. Accusing me of falling asleep on the job. If I were any less secure and confident that I did NOT fall asleep, my feelings might be hurt!"

Nienna · 06-27-2008, 02:55 PM

Kingston was still on the floor, his head hung. "Oh no, Sir, I don't think so little of you. In fact, you..." He paused, daring to raise his head. "I idolize you, my lord. I," he stopped, faking a choke, "I hope that one day I'd turn out to be a man like yourself, my lord. I know I'll never do it. I know that no one can be important as Lord Borr. But, I try to follow your foot steps, my lord and try to make you feel comfortable. I'm sorry for my actions."

XanaSnape · 06-27-2008, 03:28 PM

Will's eyes widened as he watched the scene unfold. He watched Kingston bow and scrape and knew he had to do something before Lord Borr ate them both! He bowed at the waist in a properly respectful way. Think fast, Will. Think fast and you may live.

"If I may be so bold, sir... It did appear that you were sleeping, to the untrained eyes of your naive students. But I realize now that perhaps, in your infinite cleverness, you were only feigning sleep to see how we behave when not under your watchful eye. Only a professor as wise and cunning as Lord Borr would have enacted such an ingenious ploy! I hope that you'll forgive us for not being as clever as you and falling for such a ruse... And I hope Kingston and I have both pleased you, for while we thought you were not watching and alert, our only concern was for ensuring that you were safely returned to the comfort of your lounge while behaving as the gentlemen you expect us to be. Truly, we obviously fell for your clever ruse, believing a great professor as yourself to be sleeping! Oh, I laugh at our folly, now... " He shook his head and slapped his forehead, feigning a chuckle at his own 'idiocy'... Praying that Borr would accept this explanation. Ugh. Call him wise again. Do it. "And my respect for you has grown to impossibly new heights, that you would have concocted such a sagacious plan. Such a crafty strategist you are! If ever I learn to be half as wise and shrewd as you, sir, I shall certainly be accepted onto the Wizengamot!" He glanced to Kingston as if to say back me up, here...

**Berty Borr** · 07-02-2008, 12:36 AM

Lord Borr offered his hand in a kingly fashion, wiggling his fingers as if presenting them for kisses to Kingston. He was forgiven, he'd decided, after hearing Mr. Boy Scout's explanation of what happened. "Clearly, you're not as dumb as I thought you both to be." Though there was still a stiffness to Lord Borr, something tight in his voice that said things weren't quite right between them.

They had, after all, hurt his feelings.

"I suppose you're both very young and very inexperienced and frankly, a little bit idiotic. You're forgiven." Mostly.

Nienna · 07-02-2008, 03:55 PM

Kingston stared at the wiggling fingers that were practically shoved in his face. Borr didn't expect him to kiss them did he?! Oh no he wasn't going to do that. Borr has gone TOO far. With a gulp, Kingston stood up, still keeping his head down. A smile was on his lips, though. Thank goodness Will gave a good explanation. Kingston's head ached so much from that fall, he couldn't think straight.

"I agree, my lord." Kingston murmured, trying to look like he was ashamed of himself. "This is why we admire you and take you as a father figure," yeah right "my lord. Hopefully, we'll both grow up to be like you, Sir."

"Is there anything more we could do, Lord Borr?"

**Berty Borr** · 07-02-2008, 09:52 PM

"Yes. There's ALWAYS something to do, my boys! It's all apart of the job! You'll see one day you're as busy and important as me." Lord Borr checked his own nails -- spotless, beautiful, and sterile -- and went to his door. "I want you two go out and find more MEN worthy of our lounge. Bring back ONE AT A TIME and we'll interview them. That is all. You are dismissed." And Lord Borr left to continue his busy day.

XanaSnape · 07-03-2008, 03:32 AM

Will watched Borr leave and then collapsed on the nearby couch. "Holy nargles, that was close. He nearly ate us!" he said to Kingston. "So... any ideas on recruits for Borr's Man Club? I have a few, myself..."

Nienna · 07-03-2008, 06:18 AM

Kingston gave a simple nod to Borr before he left the room. Once he did, he fell onto the couch beside Will and gave a groan. "I don't know," he murmured, rubbing his head. "I think this pump on my head is getting bigger." Kingston then gave a painful hiss once his fingers touched his pump.

"What if we leave this to later? I do think I''m going to go lie down."

XanaSnape · 07-03-2008, 02:35 PM

Will nodded, standing. "I hope you feel better-- that's a nasty knock to the noggin' you took there. Meanwhile I'll start approaching some candidates I have in mind... this could be extremely useful, you know?" He grinned and waved. "Catch you later, Kingston!"

Nienna · 07-03-2008, 02:56 PM

Kingston sighed as he stood up as well, looking down at Will since he seemed to be taller. "Thank you. And I wish I didn't take that knock. Ugh. I regret it now," he groaned, his hand still rubbing his head. Hearing Will's last few words, Kingston shook his head and called out for him, trying to stop him, but the boy was already out of sight.

"This isn't going to be pretty," he murmured, walking towards the Hufflepuff common room.

**Berty Borr** · 07-18-2008, 05:49 PM

Lord Borr marched into his lounge, leaving the door open for his Men to follow after. He poured himself a nice hot cup of coffee and sat down on one of his elegant couches.

"I believe you men have something for me?"

Nienna · 07-18-2008, 05:52 PM

Kingston walked into the room and left what's his name outside at Borr's office. He knew Borr would be furious if he let the boy in. Taking his hands out and crossing them behind his back, the blonde warmly smiled at the man.

"I have someone who claims to know who's the person who did this to you, my Lord."

XanaSnape · 07-18-2008, 06:45 PM

Will raised an eyebrow. Oh really? Since they'd only just found out about the attack in the lesson, it seemed mighty quick for him to know of a culprit... Unless he is framing someone... he thought.

Will's own reasons for needing a private audience with Borr could wait... he glanced to Lord Borr and then back to Kingston, curious about Kingston's story.

**Berty Borr** · 07-23-2008, 07:14 PM

Lord Borr was only half listening as he shuffled through is stack of homework papers. "Hmm? You were saying?"

Quote:

- Lord Borr says that as a man, I am better, and what he says goes.
- I, as a man, am more superior than a lowly elf, and therefore better.
- As a man, I am taller and stronger than an elf.
- As I am a man, I am bigger than an elf. Therefore, I have a bigger brain, and am smarter.
- As a man, I wear cleaner, smarter clothes than a scruffy elf.
- As a man, I am more good-looking than an ugleh elf. I have normal sized features and don't have huge ears.
- Elves are weak creatures. I am a man, and I am wise and brave.
- As a man, I am well spoken and polite, not like those stoopid elves.
- I have the prospect to go far in life, get a worthwhile job and earn lots of gold, house elves are trapped cleaning for us, their superiors forever.
- As a big, strong man, I can handle my Butterbeer EASILY. House elves are weak, and the littlest drop make can make them walk into walls.

I AM A MAN. I AM BETTER THAN AN ELF!

"TO RIGHT!" Lord Borr laughed out loud. "You boys, you boys are going to go down to the Kitchens and read these to those nasty elves. Right now."

Lord Borr picked out another and read,

Quote:

1) Humans have higher IQ than Elves.
2) Humans have advantage over Elves due to their sizes.
3) Humans have better fighting skills than Elves.
4) Humans have the ability to learn from nature or teach themselves.
5) Humans can adapt to circumstances better than Elves.
6) The survivability factor of Humans is much greater than that of Elves.
7) Humans are better socially than Elves.
8) Unlike House Elves, humans are independent of their will.
9) Humans are better at inter-race relationships.
10) Humans are peace lovers and like to co-operate with nature and other races.

"HAHAHAHA!" Lord Borr laughed. "You men learned something in class!! I'm so proud!! Look at this one, look at this:

Lord Borr handed over the homeworks to Kingston and Billium and continued to read through the rest.

Nienna · 07-23-2008, 07:19 PM

Kingston took some of the homework and gave the rest to Will. Scanning through some, the blond lifted his brow. Interesting. "I was saying that I have someone who claims to know who has attacked your office, Sir."

**Berty Borr** · 07-23-2008, 07:23 PM

Quote:

1. I smell better than a house elf.
2. I am taller than a house elf.
3. I can play quidditch better than a house elf.
4. I don't smack myself like a house elf.
5. Lord Borr couldn't teach elves the way he teaches us because elves don't listen.
6. No one can pull on my ears like a house elves'.
7. Nobody needs to give me a sock to set me free.
8. Elves can't ride on a broomstick, and certainly couldn't handle my broom Wild Thing even if they could!
9. Because I don't serve anyone and make a fool of myself like they do.
10. I'm better looking than a house elf.

"Look at number 5!! HAHAHAHAHA! You two, you're going down to teach those elves a lesson. Put them in their place. Yes, yes you are!"

Nienna · 07-23-2008, 07:25 PM

"Sir?" Kingston called out. The lug wasn't even listening to him. "Sir? Sir! I was saying that there is a student who KNOWS the culprit. If you wouldn't mind him entering your office, Sir."

XanaSnape · 07-23-2008, 08:46 PM

Will raised an eyebrow to Kingston, skeptical. "How did you come about this information so quickly? We just learned of the crime in class..." He was beginning to wonder if Kingston really was framing someone... and if so, perhaps the culprit was Kingston himself. After all, he'd have the most to gain by 'solving this crime' for Borr, endearing himself further to Borr... Hmmm. The idea actually excited Will- perhaps he was, through his own deduction, going to be able to unravel two crimes at once-- the case of the filthy office AND a frame-up job! He could practically see his seat on the Wizengamot now...

Kingston looked over at Will and smiled, "Aren't you very interested?" Smirking, he looked back at Borr and kept the charming smile of his on. "As I was saying before Will interrupted me, Sir. Someone came to me after class and told me who the culprit was. I will be very glad if you'd meet the lad. He would be very delighted to be in your presence."

XanaSnape · 07-24-2008, 03:08 AM

Will rolled his eyes. Really, he'd had enough of Kingston's smarmy behavior and snotty little remarks. "Yeah, actually, I am interested... in finding out who trashed Lord Borr's office. And why."

**Berty Borr** · 07-25-2008, 06:33 PM

Lord Borr was chuckling as he raised up his eyes, "You two are STILL here??? I thought I told you to GO down to the kitchens!!"

Lord Borr held up another poster:

"HAHAHAHA - HAHAHHAHA!" Lord Borr laughed. "That'll show them! Nice one, Billium! Nice one! You two get out of here and do what you're told already!!!!"

He handed the last of the homework to Kingston:

Quote:

Top Ten Reasons Why I am 'Better' than a House Elf:

10. As a man, my people have enslaved the house elves for years, causing them to actively fear clothes. Clothes are the mark of banishment and disgrace, for it leads from a life of servitude to a life as an outcast. This allows us, as men, to be better because we are better dressers than house elves, who run around all raggedy-like.

9. Men have smaller ears than a house elf. This makes them better because they can more easily turn a deaf ear to the house elf's screams of pain when they abuse themselves if they do not succeed in fulfilling our every whim.

8. Men are taller. So we can reach the stuff on the high shelves. Of course, being a wizard, I can just accio things, and house elves can do magic to bring things to their level, but their 'level' is physically lower than ours, which must be indicative of their lower status as a race. Right? Just like Lord Borr is bigger than me, and is therefore undoubtedly more man than I'll ever be.

7. Men move into the homes where house elves exist, claiming them as their own and the house elves are basically treated as fixtures like a sink or a floo. As we are not treated as furnishings, we must be better.

6. Men don't have to work as hard physically as house elves do. This allows us to relax and feast on cookies while the hard work is tended to. Huzzah!

5. I am afforded the chance to attend school and broaden my horizons educationally. House elves typically are not well educated at least not in a fine institution like Cooper's School. This must make us better than them, because we are allowed the opportunity to have fine lessons like this one from Lord Borr. Anyone who doesn't get to learn from Lord Borr is automatically a lesser individual!

4. As a man, I am more powerful in society than a house elf will ever likely be. Because society is run by men like Lord Borr at the Ministry, and they make the rules.

3. As men, we are allowed the luxury of sport and leisure. House elves don't get to play quidditch and you never see a house elf off making art or exploring culture. Therefore, we must be better as we have all this spare time for culture because of all the menial tasks we don't have to do because we've got the house elves managing those back breaking tasks for us.

2. As men, we are allowed to associate -- well, we lucky ones are -- with Lord Borr and he will take an audience with us in his lounge. Anyone who can't do that is obviously a lesser creature.

1. Men are better than house elves because Lord Borr said so. Duh!

XanaSnape · 07-25-2008, 06:40 PM

Will looked to Kingston and shrugged. If he thought teaching the elves was more important than Kingston's information, well... deserved. Besides, down in the kitchens they could nick some grub... they were probably working on preparing tonight's pudding, and Will could use a slice of cake.

"Shall we?" he asked Kingston, wondering if he'd press the issue of his 'witness.'
