Nodding, "Yes, sir. I'll try. He wasn't willing for me to help calm him, but I'll try again."

Turning on his heel, he nods to the other professors, and walks back to his table.

Willie made it to the table in mere seconds, his lower lip wobbling, his eyes red from crying and his nose a bright pink color. He looked over at Kazimeriz and gave a big sniff, rubbing his sleeve with his nose to deal with the snot.

"Pre--Prefether?"

Kazimeriz nodded once to the student, then resumed sipping his tea when he noticed--

"Upstead!" He bellowed, drawing his wand. He cast on the boy, forcing him to sit on the step of the dias and performing a sticking charm on his robes. There. He wouldn't rise again unless he wanted to expose his ...foolishness... to the entire student body.


"What. did I just. tell you. to do?" Kazimeriz seethed as he eyed the mess of a boy, all pink and runny-faced and coated with a fair bit of ... pudding? Something, anyway. He grimaced a bit, disgusted. This was not preschool, after all.

Willie sniffed again, doing the same as he did before, which was rub his nose with his sleeve. "Ye... Well ye told me a lota thingth, prefether." He told him, tilting his head. "Ye told me ter get clotheth that fit me, ter thpeak proparly latht term and ye told me ter... ter..." he paused, staring at the professor thinking what else he told him.

"Ter thtay at me table?" He blinked, wondering if he was right.

Eyes going wide, Jake started flapping his hands, trying to get Willie to go back. Hide under the Hufflepuff table... anything. To just go BACK.

And then... guess what happened?

Yep, Kaaaaaaazi. Jake couldn't stop himself from being forced down, and you better believe he tried, but his small body was no match for the experienced magic. And then... he was stuck.

Granted, he could get up if he wanted, but that wouldn't be the smartest idea in the world, no would it?

"Willie!" Jake exclaimed to the boy. "Go, hurry, run. He'll..." Jake faltered, looking back up and sighing in defeat. "Just... get back," he whispered, biting his lip, feeling scared for his friend.

Kazi... you are so darn evil, no?

He nodded, his eyes locked with the young boy's. In a quiet, bone-chilling tone, Professor Kazimeriz said, "And what were you doing, Mister Crocker?"

Willie felt giddy when Kazimeriz used that tone with him. "I didn't, but I really really REALLY have a good ethplanathion fer it!" He told him, trying his best to beam. "Thee... I'm all alone at me table, tho I 'eaded towardth the Thlytherin'th table, ya? Cuth most me friendth are there. And, I ain't the only thtudent 'o goeth around, dontchaknow?!" Willie said, pointing at some students who were at other tables rather than theirs.

"Theeeeeeeee!"]

Watching what is taking place, he wants to make sure that the professor isn't too hard. I mean he is a young student...

"Sir, he was just chatting with another student. But he was under to the table and being disruptive." Oops, maybe I shouldn't have said that... he thinks shutting his mouth.

"I wonder, Mister Crocker, if you would venture a guess as to how many of those students have been specifically told by a professor to remain in their seat?" He glared at the boy, then waved the question away- it was rhetorical, after all. "No matter, for you are only responsible for your own actions, however misguided. You were told to remain seated as you seem incapable of using either good manners or good sense. Since you choose to behave like an infant, I shall treat you as one." He cast the same sit-and-stick charm on Willie that Jake had, seating the boys next to one another on the dias. He eyed them, then conjured big, pink bibs around their necks and high-chair style trays around their new 'seats'. Because the wittle babies would couldn't behave still deserved to eat, after all. Right? Riiight.

He eyed the Slytherin. "I recommend you go sit at your table unless you care to join them." he said coldly, gesturing to the 'babies'. Satisfied, Kazimeriz resumed sipping his tea and turned his attention to Bunbury. "Please forgive the interruption. As I was saying... tea tomorrow?"

His jaw dropping, he watches the professor turn the students pretty much into big babies before his eyes on the dias. "I...ummm, yes I'll head back to my table." he replies with a slight bow to the professor, and walks away feeling horrible.

"Professer!" the girl called out in a more than slightly annoyed voice to Kazimeriz as she marched up to the staff table, her hands still clenched into balls, her nails unintentionally digging into her skin. It huuuurt too, but she couldn't help it, not when the professor had stuck Jake to the Dias! For Heavens sake! Were teachers even allowed to do that?!

Melanie glanced down at Jake before craning her neck to look up at Kazimeriz, feeling like a complete coward in his shadow, feeling like she'd shrunken a half a foot, she managed to blurt something out. "What did he ever do to you?" she asked in a small voice, attempting to keep her voice calm, though it shook despite her efforts.

Then as he conjured bibs around their necks and high chairs as well she felt renewed anger reach her stomach, her mouth gaping open.

Melanie recalled a spell from charms class, an unsticking charm....but did she use it? No...she couldn't decided, but she was pretty sure she didn't want to mess with this wacko of a professor. He was just....mean. Plus they were already in the negatives, she didn't wan to lose any more points...

"Indeed I do, sir," Anna said, responding to her Head of House's question about what field she was to pursue upon graduation. "When I was eleven-years-old, I decided to pursue a career in the Potions industry, and I'm excited to report that I've actually already been offered a job. Nicholai Toussaint, a former Slytherin if you remember, has asked me to go into business with him. I understand we're to research current, and possibly newfound, potions." She smiled and rocked back and forth on her heels one more time. "However, I saw an old friend in Diagon Alley recently, and she's told me of an organization that would be a good one for me to join. I'm looking into membership right now."

Just at that moment, Melanie, the Hufflepuff she'd chatted with in Madam Primpernelle's approached the dias. She seemed to be a little upset about something that'd happened to another---Good Merlin! What was being done to Jake Upstead and Willie Crocker? Anna widened her eyes once before turning back to Professor Dumont. Jake and Willie were with Professor Kazimeriz, and for some reason, Anna's instincts told her to just stay far, far away from that little ordeal. She'd been on the receiving end of one of professor Kazimeriz's punishments before, and they were no fun at all. Yikes.

Why were there so many students traipsing up to the staff table? Lars blinked as, for the first time, he noticed the students standing near the table talking to professors. Was this an everyday occurence? It was quite surprising to Lars, but at least he was able to eat without student interruptions.

"I'm partial to plants, I'll admit," he told the Herbology woman as he finished the last of his grapes. Glancing around, he reached for a platter of pheasant. He set a piece of the bird on his plate and offered the platter to the woman next to him.

"Pheasant?" He asked politely. "Oh, and I have a question. Are all the student visitors to our table common?"

He watched him with awe as he talked and glared and spoke to him as if he were his father. Oh joy! He was acting like a father! Willie would've squeaked with happiness, but he controlled himself and kept his mouth shut. He gasped as the man casted a stick charm on him, like he had last semester, but there was a twist. What was it?

He was sitting on a dias. With a bib.

How cool was that? How did Kazi know he was never fed by his father as a baby amazed him. The small curly haired child giggled and flailed his arms, really acting like a baby. "I want chickeeeeen!!" He told the staff, giggling as he did so. "And mathted tattoooth and and and FOOOOD!"

Hayley marched over to the dias in a huff..."What did they DO to you to!?" she asked Jake and Willie! This was so so SOO uncool! Willie hadn't done anything harmful..and she doubted Jake had either...grrrr...it was UNJUST!

Now she asked her a question. Very well. That's why she was appointed as a professor. Alice nodded, "Yeah, so far. But for future it's all in the hands of my Professors," she puased, looking at her, "and my fellow students," now looked at the boy who was standing beside her.

Anastasia nodded as the girl made two good points. "I'm sure you'll be a more than capable student...most Hufflepuffs are. And I look forward to seeing you in my classes, Alice."

She wondered briefly what the girl's last name was, since she usually addressed the children by their last name's....but no matter.

Crap! She wanted to see his skills. Not the wisest move on his part. "I assure you, you will be impressed." He gave her a big grin and hoped that he could make her think he was as good as he said he was. "And you have a lovely name by the way." hehe.

And then the girl was whispering in his ear. Sighing, he frowned at her question. He whispered back, "yes, I am. Now will you please go away?" He hated being rude generally, but this girl was seriously taking the Prof's attention away from him.

At least the boy had given her his surname. And he certainly was a talker, wasn't he.

"Mr. Kane, pleasure to meet you," Bunbunz grinned evilly. Well, it wasn't intentionally an evil grin, but her wide smile and pointy teeth just happened to appear dazzling demon-like. "Thank you," the redhead continued, absorbing his compliments like a thirsty puffapod. "I too was a Hufflepuff. Finest House Hogwarts has, in my opinion."

"But... sir!" Jake exclaimed indignantly, furrowing his brow at the man. He didn't understand him at ALL. What was the reason Jake was here for? How was he supposed to deal with those people like Ricco and whoever else.

But then, you are here for your protection.

"So, because I need to be protected, I'm not allowed to-" he broke off, raising his hands as though he was surrendering. "Okay, fine, fine, whatever," he breathed, casting one last look at the EVIL MAN teacher and directing his gaze back to Bunbury.

"My summer was okay, thank you, Professor..." he nodded, reluctant at having to kill the conversation. "It was my birthday yesterday... it was good... while it lasted."

Cue death glare at Kazi.

"How about y- oh... never mind," Jake had been about to ask Bunbury a question back, but Kazi had told him to be SILENT for no apparent reason.

One more look, this time directed at Professor Morgan, but with sorrowful, pleading... and apologetic eyes, Jake said just one more word, "Sorry," and stared up at the ceiling, fiddling and twitching nervously... restlessly.

You probably don't remember me from last term," she told her, but then she heard that voice that scared her so much.

She turned the Professor Kazimeriz and smiled. She stood there and listened to him talk and when he turned to her and glared, she nodded her head. Maybe it was best for her to go now. If Jake wasn't suppose to chit-chat with anyone, then there practically was no use to be up here. "Ummm- sorry, sir. I'll just be going now," she said, looking at Jake. "I'll catch up with you later."

She took one last look at everyone then turned around and headed back to her table. She hoped Jack and Cam were still there since she just left them to go talk with Jake.

She didn't hear Torin's little evil whispering to Alice - not that she would have done anything about it anyways - as she was then distracted by Jake and Reese.

So Upstead was her last name too, was it? Perhaps that was why Bunbury didn't recall her...she hadn't realized Jake had a sister. Annie leaned back in her chair, amused at the telling-off Jake received from Kazimeriz, and then turned her attention to the old man. He always was disciplining someone, wasn't he...most amusingly too.

But Kazimeriz was not about to complain to a lady about his living quarters, even though the wet chill of the air caused his arthritis to ache in spite of his potions. He smiled congenially at her, his livery lips pulling back to reveal those fang-like white teeth. "Professor, if I may be so bold... It is a well known fact that potions and herbology are sister disciplines. As such, I am hoping to work quite closely with you this term in order to provide the most well rounded education to our young pupils in both subjects. Would you join me for tea tomorrow to discuss this and other issues of curriculum? I think it would be mutually rewarding." He smiled again at her, his eyes gleaming darkly.

Anastasia folded her hands into a little steeple as she listened to Kazimeriz, keeping her face calm and impassive as he suggested a collaboration between potions and herbology.

Wasn't that just the most wonderful, delightful, joyful thing she had ever heard. NOTTTTTTT. NOT. AT. ALL. Oh Merlin's pants, having to attend a sleepover with Alessia and that Intern was one thing, but having tea...and co-teaching with Kazimeriz?! He was just looking for an excuse to torture her, probably because she had laughed at him during that duel last term...and he was probably going to invite every single ghost in the school, too.

However, she couldn't openly refuse an invitation from the old man. She wanted to scope out his stores of poisons and antidotes anyway. "Tea tomorrow sounds absolutely delightful," Annie responded with a simper. "I'll be looking forward to it."

She turned back toward the front of the dias just in time to watch the man transfigure Jake and Lispy a set of --- wait, were those Muggle bibs?! Really?! The redhead had to quickly cover her mouth with her hand to keep from laughing out loud at the sight. Her poor Huffies, being babies....the punishment did suit their crimes though...oh children.

Speaking of children, here was a fired-up one already.

"Miss Lockheart," Anastasia spoke up sharply, her eyes narrowing at the girl complaining to Kazimeriz. "Since when do students have the right to demand explanations of their professors actions? Have you ever heard of respecting your elders?"

Her blue eyes flicked over the girl's appearance from head to toe as she briefly wondered if Melanie had taken to using that shine-enhancing serum from Primpernelle's. Not yet, apparently.

"I think it would be best if you returned to your seat and kept your thoughts to yourself, dear......" And that was the only warning she was going to get.

Annie shook her head at the complete and utter lack of respect and behavior her old House was showing and turned toward Lars. At least he was a gentleman.

"I'm glad to hear that. I always do say a little puffapod here or a flutterby there can do wonders to a room's decor." she smiled at him, waving away the bird he was offering. "No thank you." And ah, so he had noticed the interruptions as well. Perhaps he wasn't as oblivious as she had originally thought.

"No, I didn't think so many....visitors....were common. I mean, I thought most students would have learned manners and learned to allow their professors a meal in peace....but I suppose I overestimated Hogwarts once again," she stated with a melodramatic sigh, loud enough for the troublemakers to hear. "Have you taught elsewhere, Mr. Lars? Are all children usually so disruptive?"

And look, there was another interruption. "Some students just can't take a hint," Annie spoke up yet again, shooting a glare at the young Slytherin at the dias. "Perhaps you seek the same fate as those two?" Bunbury addressed the girl. "If not, I suggest you wander BACK to your own table and hold your tongue."

She was really getting irritated at the number of students there now, and points were about to start dropping out of hourglasses if the children didn't start sharpening up.

Daniel looked at the Professor and smiled. He then spoke his piece slowly, "Professor, I have a lot of question in mind. I came from a blood line of royalty in Romania. My father's great great grandfather is a member of the king's court. When his grandfather was accepted to Durmstrang, they renounced the throne of being royalty to live as a wizard." he said sighing.

"Now my father's uncle died with no close relative aside from my father as his heir. Now, my father lived a double life of being an Auror and a muggle vis count." a sad look on Daniel's face was shown. "But that was cut short when he died long ago, and that is why I handle the task of being the vis count now. So far, my father's best friend is helping me with things. Can you give me some advice on what I should do in front of muggles? Daniel's face lit up to show his puppy dog eyes.

What? Whaaaat? WHAT?!

"No!" Jake cried out in pure fury as Kazi made a complete and utter fool out of him and Willie.

Or maybe just him, as Willie appeared to be... rather... enjoying this.

Weirdo.

Well, Jake wasn't having it. "Dude! This is... let me GO!" he urged, tugging at the (ironically pink) bib that was now fastened around his neck. He pulled and tugged and choked and wheezed, trying to pull off the offending item. As he flailed, Jake felt his leg knock against something.

A table.

-.-

Dude.

Kicking out at it, Jake whipped his head round. "Make him stop!" he exclaimed to anyone who had a heart. Willie was lost to Jake now... just gone.

Melanie was here now, and Hayley. "Make him STOP!" Jake exclaimed again, feeling a tear roll down his cheek and the first warning signs of a freak out. His breathing was going faster, heartbeat going TRIPLE time, and his thoughts were failing to get straight. "Let me gooooo..." he mumbled miserable, stomping both feet and finally slumping on the table. "I'm not a baby."

If you say so, Jakers.

Hayley's lower lip trembled, and a tear slipped down her cheek. Her first day at Hogwarts was not going well. "I'm sorry, Ma'm, but I just wanted to know why my friends were all tied up and stuff. I thought you were supposed to be niiiice." Hayley was bawling now, she sniffled, "I'm sorry if I caused a disturbance...but it just seems so unfair," she sobbed. "Willie didn't do nothin wrong! He was just hungry. And then the big mean boy caused a fuss over nothing and it's all just not riiiiiiight!" She wanted to go back to her table, but she was frozen by terror that if she moved, a teacher would hex her...but...but if she didn't move she would end up like Jake and Willie...oohh what to DO...she just sobbed harder....

"MISTER UPSTEAD." Bunbury hissed, stomping her foot once for authority. "The sooner you stop your childish whining and start behaving like the intelligent boy you are, the sooner you will be released from your little situation. BE.HAVE.YOUR.SELF."

She stared him down, daring the kid to open his mouth again. If he did by Merlin she would help Kazimeriz stuff a sock in his his face and/or use her pointy shoe to knock him silent. HONESTLY. Causing such a commotion at the staff table was absolutely uncalled for.

Also uncalled for were....tears?! Oh Merlin's pants, the Slytherin girl was a weeeee little firstie...and she was sobbing now. Absolutely wailing. Anastasia looked around a bit frantically, as if she were upset that she had made a child cry. Actually, she waiting for a round of applause for causing a kid to bawl at the start of term feast...this had to be a record...

"Unfair or not, your professor has disciplined these students in a manner he saw fit." Annie crossed her arms and showed absolutely no sign of pity for the child as she continued reprimanding her. "If you wish to question Professor Kazimeriz's actions further," she respectfully nodded to the old man, "then you may seek him out in his office. As for now, please return to your seat or I will make you. The opening feast is no place for such immaturity regardless of your classmates' behavior."

She tapped her foot twice and didn't even blink as she waited for the child to leave.

"But... but..." Jake shook the table in front of him, as though the answer to all of life's problems lay beneath it. But no, he was stuck... and he was about to freak out. That wouldn't be good. "I didn't do anything!"

Eyes going wild, Jake somehow knew he should stop, but he was confused, and stuck... and... so darn innocent. "I'm not whining. I'm not intelligent. I want my dad," he added, folding both arms on the table again and hiding his face in them, sniffling a TAD.

But he wasn't crying... he was... recovering from... allergies. Yarp.

EVIL PROFESSORS!!!! NUUUU! Hayley was surrounded by people who were intent on making her life absolutly miserable for the next 7 years! Hayley attempted to wipe away the tears, but they kept on falling. Still, she managed the type of glare only a hurt and abused feeling 11 year old girl can muster before she turned her back on the professor and walked towards her table. "Sorry, Jake," she mumbled as she walked by. She gave Willie's head a breif pat, and would have said something to him as well, if he didn't seem to be lost off in a happy planet somewhere in deep space. "This all just sucks," she whispered to herself, almost inaudibly. These teachers were just pure evil.....

That was the last straw. This kid certainly did have a rambling problem and Miss Bunbury was going to correct it for him.

"You have done something now, Upstead, you have continued speaking when I deliberately ordered you to stop," she stated simply and calmly. Anastasia slipped her wand out of her purse then and cast a nonverbal silencing charm on the boy...so he was now stuck to the dias in a pink bib without the power to plead for removal. Good.

Annie tapped her wand in her hand, watching and waiting for the whimpering girl to leave, and coolly nodded to herself when she did at last. Finally. Crisis averted, children gone, she could enjoy her meal in peace.

"Sorry about that commotion, Mr. Lars...." Anastasia mentioned, calmly dropping her wand back into her Prada bag. "I assure you, my last feast here was not nearly as disruptive..."

No indeed, everyone had just fallen onto each other like dominos last time. Ah well, at least that incident hadn't involved sobbing students left and right....and tears and snot were so disgusting, Bunbunz had just about lost her appetite.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Jake screamed out, or he would have, had he not been SILENCED! "Let me GO!" he only managed to mouth, and it was a good job he was silenced, because Jake's voice could go high.

But... it looked as though he was well and truly stuck, and so Jake thrashed around a little more... before giving up, and giving the table a little kick, pouting down at it.

This was mega unfair, and he felt uncomfortable. He tugged at the stupid bib he wore, and at the same time, his hand reached for his wand...

Way too many students were crowding the Staff Table and Vindictus turned to Anna. "Stop by my office after the term starts if you want to chat," he said and sighed. Turning around, he folded his arms and frowned at the students who were bugging the Staff members who were trying to relax before the Headmaster could give his speech. The Flying Instructor was calm as he addressed the student group. "Okay, children. Back to your tables and give the Staff room to breathe. I'm sure that all of us professors will have time to chat with you after the Opening Feast is over."
