Once you've been invited inside the Professor's Office, feel feel to take a seat either at the chair opposite his desk or any of the two long couches fixed about the room. Either's fine as he isn't usually bothered by most things. Whatever the case, he's like to make himself comfortable so you might as well do the same.
To the far corner of the room, you'll notice a large, fluffy cushion on the floor by a little cabinet that is always closed. You'll do best to leave that where it is. The scratching post, as it so happens, is also none of your concern.
The bookshelves all around the room are filled with various subjects ranging from Charms to Dragon taming, from curse breaking to cooking. It's not certain he's read them all but the Professor likes surrounding himself with as wide an array as possible, in the event he gets a chance to have a sit down but doesn't fancy a nap to while away his afternoon. You could burrow something from his 'modest' collection if he likes you enough but it's more likely he'll ask you if the Library suddenly ran out of books.
On his desk, you'll notice a picture of a woman with a wide smile and another more crowded subject consisting of five young children ranging from 2-6 years old with two sets of twins in the mix. It's best you not touch those; he'll probably know if you did.
Due to his sensitive sense of smell the Professor has also charmed the office, leaving it rather neutral if not with the faintest hint of lavender.
OOC: Be sure you've posted out in the Seating Area before posting here ^^
So the spell incantation didn't HAVE to be in Latin... This was good news for Lux because it meant that she wouldn't have to study and learn a dead language which seemed quite complicated. On the plus side at least it wasn't Greek, because that had a whole other alphabet on top of everything else.
Oh boo, Latin was more effective than English. That was a bit of rain on her parade...but maybe Professor Quigley could help her out a little more. "Professor, do you know what 'clean' and 'marshmallow' would be in Latin?" This was important because it was for her spell. "That's the last question I have," she added when he asked if there was anything else he could do to help them.
Looked like Cutty was about ready to go as well, though Lux was surprised when he patted her shoulder since he hadn't given her the impression that he was big on human contact. He was also smiling at her which was really nice. Well, he got a smile right back for being so pleasant!! "It seems like the perfect dueling spell. Do you duel often?" Some boys were into that kind of thing though she knew that Bay wasn't really.
Whilst he waited for Professor Quigley's ok to skeedaddle, Cutty answered Lux's question. "Oh yea. All of the time. Maybe we ought to ourselves one day." He thought it sounded a right good opportunity for things.
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

Even with telling the truth, Cutty somehow had managed to get away with most of what he'd done.
The genuine smile was mellow and still present as he patted the little Hufflepuff's shoulder and addressed her question, "Yea, it is, Carrington. How...How'dyer know that?" More of a rhetorical 'I find your observation clever' than a question he expected an answer to.
Still beaming a bit at Lux's haphazardly applied innocence, Cutty turned his attention back to the Charms Professor to answer him. "Nar. That's all I needed. Thank you, Professor. I'll be sure to extend a discount for yer if yer ever lookin' to buy any sweets. I sell them." He 'casually' mentioned.

Oh he sold sweets? How...unhelpful. Maddox didn't have much of a sweet tooth growing in his gums so do excuse the lack of enthusiasm at the offer. "I'll do you one better Mister Mordaunt, provide me with a steady supply of apples and we'll work something out." Wait. Were they allowed to vend at the school? Was it unprofessional to place his business with a student?
....
Did he really want to know? Probably not so he'd just stop thinking about it now. What did it matter how he got apples? And what if the kid's only talent was vending? He had to support the future in anyway he could.
"Unfortunately I'm not sure of either word." Considering he didn't speak latin and had very little need to clean marshmallows. With a swish of his wand the door swung open. "The library might be a good place to start, it's got a decent variety though I must say if it's a marshmallow cleaning spell, there wouldn't be need for specificity. 'Scourgify' would do the work."
But what did he know about her spell. It might have done something completely different. If that was it though, they could go.

The colour change was noted but Maddox made no gestures to assure the girl that it was perfectly alright. That might have had to do with the fact it wasn't alright at all. He hadn't intended for the animagus thing to become common knowledge but falling asleep waiting for your class to show up did that.
He might have slammed the door when she started her little rambling but then she was offering him a book and talking about Bellaire?
What did that woman have to do with anything?
More than a little uncertain, Maddox reached forward (ignoring the fact she'd let herself in for now) and took the book. Couples Counselling?
....
......
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!
Oh Merlin. It took Maddox a moment to compose himself and in that time he didn't even attempt speech, just stifled laughter and snorting and Circe it shouldn't be this funny.
Finally, he was done. The only thing that remained of his amusement was the wide grin spread across his face at showcased his unusually long canines. "Please, have a seat Miss Neverwinter."
You can post in the office next since *snorts* she's already in there now XD
At first, Amur thought he was going to chuck the book at her. Her grandparents had always told her not to interfere, especially in 'couple' problems, but Amur had never been very good at listening when she thought she could make a difference. So, when the Professor burst out in laughter, Amur was more than a little surprised. Why was this funny? What had she missed?
And then he was...inviting her in? The tune had certainly done a flip-about, and Amur wasn't really sure what she had gotten herself into. She thought about pointing behind her and saying that was all, that she would leave him with some privacy to muddle over the contents of the book, but decided against it. An invite in was an invite in. She wasn't sure what he wanted to talk about, but running away would do her no good now.
Clutching her rock to herself, Amur slipped further into the office and onto the edge of one of the seats. "I...uhm....." She scratched the back of her head, not sure what to say. "Am I in trouble?"
Yes, that was a good question. That was a really good question. Because she would take the book back if she was going to get in trouble about it. No harm, no foul if he didn't keep it, right?

With a flick of his wand the door swung shut, not slammed just shut to prevent his ears the trauma. At this point he looked down at the First Year in the seat. This...was possibly the most entertaining visit he'd had all year and he would have to write his wife about this one. Jamie would have a good laugh too he was sure.
"Not in trouble at all." This time he didn't bother trying to hide the amused look. To think Ravenclaws were meant to be the innovative ones...though this also had humour which automatically ruled that lot out.
"There's just something about this gesture that's overly Gryffindor and tells me you either didn't realize how offensive this was OR you did but decided it needing doing anyway. You've earned yourself 5 points for making my afternoon."
Also. "What's with the rock?" He asked, nodding in gesture toward it.

Not in trouble. Amur let out a noisy breath, her shoulder slumping. Well, that was a relief.
But, what? What was this? "Off-offensive?" Amur blinked up at the man. Not in trouble, yet. But.... "I...didn't think it was offensive, at all." Honest to truth. "I...I thought it might help. You two seemed to be having trouble getting along."
Seriously. Why would she intentionally do something that was offensive? Especially to a Professor? That was just asking for trouble, and if he couldn't tell, she wasn't exactly keen on sticking her boots in that pile of mess. "How....is it offensive?"
Really Professor, innocent victim over here. "And, if it's offensive, then why did you accept it?" He could have just chucked it at her. That would have worked just as well to prove his point. And if it was offensive, then why was he laughing? Or giving her points for that matter? Just...what?
Amur decided that this Professor was much more confusing than Professor Flamsteed. And that...that was saying a lot. Speaking of rocks....
"It's .... uhm ... the dragon rock from class. I was hoping, that I wouldn't have to return it." Rewind and rephrase. "I mean, I was wondering if I could keep it." Same diff.

In all honesty he didn't figure she'd have understood how it was offensive. Nah. Call it little faith but he thought it was expecting too much that she'd get the wider politics.
"Sticking your nose in your Professors' business. Telling them they need help thus insinuating they aren't already aware of the erumpent in the room. It's none of your business and you'd do best leaving adults to solve their own problems if they wish to." With that he gave a casual shrug, his expression somewhat indifferent. "It's all the same to me and I find it funny regardless."
Couples counselling. Snort. Bellaire needed her own shrink for that messed up headspace of hers. "If you don't want the points though...I can take them back. Didn't think you'd take such an issue to them."
Should he have taken points? Would that have helped her logic a little better?
Could she keep the rock....? "Uh...yeah. It's just a rock. There's more outside so by all means." Funny how he thought half the children had already thrown the rocks aside and forgotten them. She was probably one of those special cases.

"Oh." That was offensive? Interfering, yes, but she had never heard it called offensive before. Amur pondered this for a moment, thought about clarifying that she was very well aware they were aware. Chewing on her bottom lip, she settled for something much simpler, and less likely to dash the humor that he had found in her actions. "I'm sorry, Professor. I meant no disrespect." Honest. "I just wanted to try and help. But I'll butt out."
Yup. Butting out. But did that mean she would get her book back, or was he going to keep it? She watched him curiously. As for the points... "Oh. No...I'll...take them if your offering them. I don't have an issue, I was just...confused."
Confusing. Adults were confusing. But at least he was a nice confusing man. At least he was taking it all in good stride. She could only imagine what would have happened if she tried to approach Professor Bellaire with this one. Head, would be gone. Which was why she was here, in this Professor's office, and not the other one's.
Turning the rock about in her hand, she glanced down at it. It wasn't just a rock anymore. It had fond memories attached to it. Memories of flying. She missed that. Looking up at the Professor, she hesitated. "I don't suppose I could turn it back into a mini dragon every now and then, could I? Nothing big....just tiny."

He had to say, when he'd made the comment, Maddox never expected her to take it quite so seriously, or for her to mull over it so long. What was the problem? None that he could see. The fact he was amused meant they could move on but apparently not in this First Year's head. More apologies. "It's perfectly fine, Miss Neverwinter." And he would say it a few more times til it stuck--actually no he wouldn't, that would get tedious and repetitive....he didn't have time for that, but you got the idea.
And she'd be keeping the points; glad to see she still had her wits about her. He would add them some time later. Probably on his way down to dinner when he was heading in the direction of the hourglasses anyway.
For now, the Charms Professor watched her turning her rock over a few times, curious to know what the deal with it was. Rocks were just that, rocks. They didn't do much. It all came together a moment later at her question. "You can. The spell was taught so it can be put to use, not to be forgotten within another year or two. By all means, make many little dragons--so long as you control them and do not enlarge them." Because then they'd have problems and it would probably be his fault....Eh. No thanks. He didn't want that blame.
"I am curious though." He fixed her with a look, one of obvious bemusement. "What are you doing with a book on couples counselling in your trunk? Surely whatever relationship you've found yourself in at this stage isn't that serious." Consider him somewhat concerned. Kid was probably like....6....she didn't need counselling.

Amur smiled a little. As confusing as this dude was, she liked him. Pretty easy to forgive and forget. And he laughed at the apparently foolish things that children did, rather than get red in the face like a steam kettle.
Her small smile turned into a big grin. "I...I can?!" After all the talk about why it was a bad idea to own dragons, Amur had legitimately thought she would have to give up her pet rock, and any future of seeing another dragon again. This, was an unexpected turn. She nodded her head eagerly at all the conditions, of which there were only two. Two simple rules. Control and small. She could definitely do that.
"I'll make sure they're no trouble, Professor." Because yes, she was going to charm more than one rock. In fact, she was pretty sure she knew of a pile of stones off near the lake that were calling her name. "And if something happens - which it won't - I'll take full responsibility. I won't snitch you out."
Cause he was a pretty cool dude. Amur turned her rock even faster, just to keep herself from turning it into a dragon right then and there. Patience....patience.
"Oh, that." She giggled and shook her head. "It's not technically mine. I borrowed it from my parents. They are done with it though and it's been collecting dust on my dad's shelf. So, I thought it might come in handy for someone here at the school." She shrugged. "I heard a lot of people link up."

Why was she so surprised? They were not taught in bubbles? Their education was meant to be incorporated in daily life. When would you have an actual reason for needing to make a dragon? Exactly. Maddox chuckled. "Don't seem so surprised. Not ever spell is meant to be of vital importance to your survival in the big world." He did mention a fun class at some point, of course they were free to believe him or not.
And she was promising no trouble with the dragonS. "Excellent." An easy smile spread across his face. "I'd hate to have to string you up to a few of them and have them fly off in different directions." Granted he'd probably actually never but it was a lasting image nonetheless. One he hoped would truly deter her from causing too much of a stir should she amass for herself a little army of dragon.
Nothing personal. Not at all. Just forgive him for being a little apprehensive about leaving a Gryffindor the permission to run rampant with dragons. He'd been a part of the red shirt society for 7 years. It probably wasn't a good idea...but he simply didn't care enough to say otherwise.
The Charms Professor breathed an audible sigh of relief at the confession that the book didn't belong to her. "Good to know. There's no need to be worrying about that sort of thing at this age Miss Neverwinter. Plenty other things to fuss with, places to explore, potions to explore and the like." At this age relationships were generally overrated anyway.

At this age relationships were generally overrated anyway.
Amur gave him a look at that as she turned the stone and held it in both hands. A real long look, with a bit of a downward turned frown at the corner. "I'm sure you could find a way to use every spell that is taught for survival."
Especially dragons. How could that not be vital? Especially if you were trying to say, escape from something. There would be a rock, and then BAM! A rock would be a dragon. And then double BAM! The dragon rock would be a really BIG dragon. And you could run away on it. And if the law caught up to you for having a dragon, well them BAM again! Dragon turned rock. It was brilliant.
But she wasn't going to point out the specifics of her plan, just in case the Professor found some way to tell her it wasn't possible or wasn't allowed. That would just burst her bubble. Better to ask for forgiveness than permission, type deal. Totes.
Although, it seemed like the man had quite the imagination herself. She frowned a little bit at his disturbing consequence that he had failed to mention the first time around. "Well, I'd hate to have to tell one of them to eat you." Because yeah, hadn't the Professor told them that the dragons were under the control of the creator. Plus, Professor Quigley, that was just mean. "I promised I'd make no trouble."
Not intentionally at least. Unintentional, well, could she really be blamed for that?
As for the book and the relationship thing, at least they were on the same page there. She nodded in hearty agreement. "Don't plan to." Except when Professor's argued, but she wasn't going to go down that road again. "So you can keep the book for however long you like." She, she was going to create some dragons.

"I'll do what I can." He said with a smile, already mentally considered how to set apart his apples from others to make it worth Quigley's while. "Thank you, Professor."
Cutty turned to leave the office, getting the door for Lux and making sure to leave with the door as it was when he and Lux entered.

Was the robe pulling really all that necessary, sir? Especially now that they were out of the forrest. Also, now that they were out of the forrest... Could his heart stop wtih the 100 beats per minute? This must've looked really bad. Gregoire was probably either dead.. Or seriously injured... And he and Aegis were as good as dead considering what had just gone down.
Oh Merlin.
And Professor Q looked angry as ever. This was not good. This was SO not good. The man had set flesh-eating slugs at Kevin for talking back in class. What was he going to do to them??? Gryffindor or not, Zander was more than just a bit worried....And into the office they went. Fifth Year was the worst. That much was a fact.

Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.
Aegis was dragged into the Office of Professor Quigley's broken in spirit, and he was pretty sure since being tossed by a Jerk Centaur , and not having his fall broken he had a broken rib. Not to mention the still searing burn on his cheek left to him by Gregoire. Too much had happened in the Forest for two boys who weren't even in that far, and WERE LEAVING .
So he sat on one of the Couches with his Head down, and his hand gripping his cheek.
If this was his last day at Hogwarts then so be it.
He had seen her – she had seen him catch a glimpse of her. There was no way that she wasn’t going to get into trouble if she didn’t explain herself…sure she didn’t know if Banner was coming but she could explain it well enough without him right?
It was simple.
They had been scoping locations for…things yeah nope she was just going to say they were running rounds because they had been and they had heard noises by the forest…clicky-voices and familiar students.
Yes she shouldn’t have been there she was…but well, she was a witness to how the Professor hadn’t seen the spiders dragging off a body she’d seen them…she knew he – sure they didn’t always get along but he was dead now.
“H-hey” she practically squeaked out as she slipped into the room and stood for a moment before inching closer to the Gryffindor boys. “I-I would have I should have done something…”

Especially dragons. How could that not be vital? Especially if you were trying to say, escape from something. There would be a rock, and then BAM! A rock would be a dragon. And then double BAM! The dragon rock would be a really BIG dragon. And you could run away on it. And if the law caught up to you for having a dragon, well them BAM again! Dragon turned rock. It was brilliant.
But she wasn't going to point out the specifics of her plan, just in case the Professor found some way to tell her it wasn't possible or wasn't allowed. That would just burst her bubble. Better to ask for forgiveness than permission, type deal. Totes.
Although, it seemed like the man had quite the imagination herself. She frowned a little bit at his disturbing consequence that he had failed to mention the first time around. "Well, I'd hate to have to tell one of them to eat you." Because yeah, hadn't the Professor told them that the dragons were under the control of the creator. Plus, Professor Quigley, that was just mean. "I promised I'd make no trouble."
Not intentionally at least. Unintentional, well, could she really be blamed for that?
As for the book and the relationship thing, at least they were on the same page there. She nodded in hearty agreement. "Don't plan to." Except when Professor's argued, but she wasn't going to go down that road again. "So you can keep the book for however long you like." She, she was going to create some dragons.
Quite the optimistic little lion wasn't she?
"I suppose, but then you'll have to remember that for every spell there is a better one." That was a general rule right there with few exceptions. "Take this one for instance, changing something to a dragon. Entertaining, yes but so are other things you can cast. For transportation, it's much easier with apparition--and then you have places where apparition doesn't work," Like here at Hogwarts, "so another form of magic would be necessary."
Somehow he felt like he'd gone all out on a small tangent of sorts. "The point is, there'll always be something better or more appropriate." And making dragons to fly was possibly one of the least useful for full on survival mode compared to others out there. Still, he wouldn't get too technical about this. It ruined the magic.
He chuckled again, decidedly not bothered by the threat of having the dragons eat him. "It would be a shame, I agree, but so would blowing them up after you'd worked so hard and grown so attached." It was the only logical thing to do if under attack, naturally. Maddox allowed himself a smile after. "I know you won't be any trouble Miss Neverwinter. You're not one of the ones that keep me up some nights." Because Merlin knew there were enough of those.
As for the book. "As, yes, thank you again for the laugh. Don't hesitate to stop by again if you find something else as equally amusing." With another flick the door swung open again. It was a refreshing visit he would admit.

Maddox walked in behind the boys, having let go of them once they hit the safety of the castle and could no longer pose a problem for themselves. One the walk up, the only thing that occupied his mind was what on earth they could have possibly been thinking when they entered the forest. It was forbidden, yeah, sure everyone knew that and most could respect that. Heading in with that knowledge, you had to have solid reasoning or one brain short of functional. He was willing to believe the latter applied to the boys.
Entering, he leaned against his desk and STARED from one to the other while he tried to find the right words. This was bad, it was really bad. This wasn't some simple act of disobedience; a boy had been drawn off into the depths of the forest by man-eaters.
"I don't suppose I have to tell either of you the likely outcome of your friend?" He asked with an even tone and a raised brow. Surely they were smart enough to put two and two together. "This is beyond serious, I hope you both realize this." And if not, they should have by now given the grave look that took over in short order.
"I can't even say it was stupid because it was beyond that." But he would wait for the Headmistress before having them get into the details to save him the repetition.
His gaze drifted to Miss Greyvson when she entered. "What you SHOULD have done as a responsible Prefect is see them all out of the forest. You shouldn't have been in there in the first place. None of you should have." He hadn't hauled her here, no, but she was here now and would get a piece of it.

Upon receipt of Quigley's patronus, Anastasia hadn't really regarded the message as being too serious. There wasn't enough there to make her suspicious. But the closer she got to his office just a floor above her own, the more the sense of dread in the bottom of her stomach grew.
She opened his door quietly, standing there in the doorway first with an expression of confusion, and then of anxiety. "What's going on?" Three students, TWO of which were her prefects, and all she'd heard was mention of 'forest.'
They hadn't all been in the FORBIDDEN Forest, surely??!
??????!

Aegis didn't look up.
Not once while Professor Quigley berated them for his stupidity. His mind just kept wandering back to Gregoire being dragged off, and hearing the Professor just opening claim that the snake was most likely dead did not do him any good either.
Puck had been there!? She could have done something!
He was upset, and furious, and he was sure if he spoke his burnt cheek would act up, and his broken rib would bother him. Still though he said something not making eye contact with anyone. "It's just my fault sir. Zander was already taking me out of the Forest when we got ambushed." Aegis was not still very certain why the Acromantula swarm was so close to the Edge, but they were. He couldn't speak for Gregoire...why Frenchie was in the Forest, and according to Quigley...no one could. "I tried to save him"regardless of gender
He hadn't seen the Head Mistress walk in, but he was sure now his fate was sealed.

The Gryffindor was trying not to quiver under the Professor's heated stare. It was hard, but he was trying his best. It wasn't a joke this time. This wasn't just a welcome feast debacle. A boy had been taken away. Taken away by man-eaters. And Zander Adair was the one standing there wearing a Prefects badge.
"No, sir," he shook his head rather gravely. That was it then? Did that mean... Gregoire was... He couldn't even say it. He didn't want to have to say it. Hopefully Professor Quigley wouldn't say it either. He didn't want to have to hear what he knew was reality. This was horrible.
And as Puck entered the door, Zander gave her a look of utter disbelief. What in Merlin's name was she doing here?! As Professor Quigley started speaking again, Zander turned his head sharply towards the enraged man. He oh-so desperately wanted to tell him how he had only gone into the forrest to get Aegis out. That they were on their way, ready to leave when Gregoire showed up. That the whole time he was trying to stop the snake from making their situation any worse. Yet, he stayed quiet. Save the details for when they were asked. They'd get a fair trial, right? Before they were expelled...?
And now the headmistress was here. They were really going to get expelled.

And there he went, bursting her private little bubble. Could this dude read minds. She started at him long and hard for a moment before deciding that dragon transportation was the best, and most logical answer. In the end, he was maybe, possibly, probably, right. After all, he was Professor for a reason, but that didn't mean that Amur wasn't determined to remember every spell and find a very good survival use for it. Even if it gave her constant headaches to try and cram it all into memory. She'd make a list, and give it to him to review. Before her final year. Deal sealed.
Blow, them up? Amur blinked at him with wide eyes for a moment. It would have to be from inside the stomach, wouldn't it? That was legit possible. She sighed, unable to come up with a way to save her dragons from that fate. Except for being good and following the rules. But she would think on it. Especially given he was being so cool about her saying she would let things eat him. He was a cool guy. Yup indeed.
"I'll do my best. Not to keep you up. Ever." Cause she liked sleep and she imagined he liked sleep. And Professors were always happier when they were bright-eyed and busy-tailed. It was best, for everyone.
Slipping off her seat, Amur grinned at the Professor. "I'll let you know when I do. Thanks for the talk, Professor Quigley. And the permission." The dragon thing. She grinned again, waved and headed out at double pace.
Time to go make some dragons!

It wasn’t like Puck had been alone at the time. Banner had been there – and was she going to mention that…she wanted to make sure that Professor Quigley understood they weren’t up to anything odd at all.
“Professor, sadly I arrived after the ambush happened…and the Prefect I was on rounds with…well…basically loosely threatened me” she nodded. It wasn’t a threat. It had been a full on death glare.
“Headmistress,” Puck nodded to her as she walked in. “I heard the clicking after Banner brought up his paranoia and then…giant spiders and Gregoire was being reckless and then jumped by spiders.” She gulped and chewed on her lip.

Alas, he found a redeeming quality among them; they could all understand how dreadfully serious this all was. Funny how no one believed you when you said something was dangerous until they saw it for themselves. It was a shame, he supposed, that they had to witness what they did but at the same time some needed a harder shove in the right direction than others. The missing snake was no better, what was HE doing in the forest?
Maddox was content enough not reminding them of the obvious, choosing to turn his attention to the Headmistress as she entered. Good to see she wasted no time in getting here. "We have...a problem." One miss Greyvson had already sort of launched into without being asked. If she insisted on being her uninvited, the least she could do was shut it til spoken to especially if all she would do was ramble in half sentences that didn't give the entire story.
"There was a fourth student." He said, once she was done. No comment on this being 'all Mister Dane's fault'. A lot of things went without saying right about now. "But he's likely eaten. Hauled deeper into the woods by a hoard of acromantulas. The centaurs went after them but..." Maddox let the sentence trail off. "He didn't so much as scream when being dragged off. It isn't looking good."
So really this wasn't the time for blame games. They were ALL in trouble even Mister Bastion would have been were he standing in this room.
"I asked for an explanation earlier and none was given. What happened out there? WHY were you lot in a forest with the word forbidden in the title?" Full coherent sentences would be nice. He didn't think he had the patience to muddle through anything else right now. Circe this was bad, it was really bad.

Now was the time for ridicule. “I was…” she glanced around “well looking for locations to host an event this term – we’ve all taken time on rounds to scope out locations that would be fun and innovative” she chewed her lip and sighed.
“I didn’t realize that the acromantulas were in there if I had I would never have suggested the forest in the first place.” She admitted and explained the whole reason she was there. Prefect. Rounds. Plans. Boring things.
"I should have listened to Prefect Banner's comments of it being forbidden and a bad idea - but when he said he heard noises I...went all 'gryffindor' and investigated..." but she'd been too slow and scared and petrified to even do anything.

Still he tried his best not to shake. It was kind of hard when it was Professor Quigley though, especially since such terrible things had just… Well, you know. Not to mention the fact that the Headmistress was here. He was sure of it now. They were going to get expelled. All of them. Well at least he and Aegis probably. What Puck was standing in the office for, well, that was still entirely confusing. Though, he wouldn’t ask her. Not now.
He did want her to stop talking though. Yes she was only trying to help, but it wasn’t helping. Couldn’t she see that? Professor Quigley was enraged, even Zander could tell by the tone of voice he was using. That’s why the Fifth Year stood quietly. That is until the Professor turned to ask them again what their reasoning for being in the forrest was in the first place.
Well, Zander knew why he was there… And he only mildly knew why Aegis was there… But why Puck was there and even why Gregoire was there (was being the operative term because well) he had no clue. Taking a minute to breath, the Gryffindor tried to keep his voice from faltering as he answered the question. ”I-I was just taking a walk outside and I-I noticed Aegis making his way into the forrest.” There were other details, such as the fact that he didn’t initially know that the boy was Aegis, but that was extraneous. ”I didn’t walk in at first, but I did tell him to get out.”
The Gryffindor, again, paused to take a small breath. ”He said he’d come out if I went in to get him, so I did.” That was probably the part that was going to get him in the most trouble... Wasn't it? But was there really a need to mention how he had thought about going up to the castle to grab a Professor? Because what if the Acromantulas had come even earlier?? Aegis surely would’ve been dead and that would’ve been Zander’s fault too. ”But as soon as we turned to leave… The spiders showed up and… And well, Gregoire, he came out of no where… I don’t even know why he was around?” And they couldn’t really ask him… So that side of the story was lost.

As the female Prefect began speaking, Maddox could feel the warmth stretch across his face. It might have bordered on blind rage if the man was capable of such a thing, but he was not. What he was, was appalled and disappointed and ridiculously annoyed. She wasn't helping at all. "Do you think about what you say before you say it Miss Greyvson? What do you mean you didn't know there were Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest. Why would any responsible Prefect decide that a place housing beasts that prey on human flesh is a good place to host an event?"
There were younger students who would never be able to defend themselves should things go bad and he wouldn't even begin to get into the logistics. Every Professor would have to be on constant watch and if things went bad, someone--a few someones at that would inevitably never make it. That was the problem with crowds. Perhaps the greatest insult was her doing the 'Gryffindor' thing. "I was a Gryffindor, I learned what the 'Gryffindor' thing is and if you think rushing head first into uncertainty and possibly endangering yourself is a Gryffindor thing I believe it's time you were demoted back to First Year." Leave that shot of ignorance to the eager younger students that had yet to get a clue.
"Recklessness should never be confused for bravery. They're quite different things and usually one ends in death." Given the circumstances, he didn't have to tell them which they had displayed earlier.
Now perfectly nettled by one Prefect, the other was not spared the look he shot him. "Did you think that made you a good Leader? Walking in because he wouldn't come out?" That logic was perhaps almost as twisted as the girl's. "Contrary to what you may believe, compromise is not always the best approach. The Groundskeeper has a hut near the forest. If he refused to leave, you should have run to get him. Never let someone else draw you into their recklessness. It's a poor reflection on you."
And yes, no one would know why the Slytherin of all of them displayed the most recklessness. Would Miss Greyvson argue that he was doing the 'Gryffindor' thing too? As for Mister Dane, who had opted for complete silence. "You have yet to tell me what you were doing in the forest but what is sounds like was you blatantly flounces around a rule that shouldn't be taken lightly, the consequence for which we all see now." Funny how he went in, pulling others but it was the other that died. REAL funny. Not. "That will be 10 points from each of you; 20 from you Mister Dane. The forest is forbidden for reasons. I don't think anyone will need to remind any of you of that anymore." He would wait for the Headmistress to say her piece before ordering them all back to their Common Rooms. Did they have anything to say for themselves?
