Botros' office has changed dramatically from his previous one in the Ancient Runes floor. The office is located in the headmaster's tower, and you have to go through the stone gargoyles to have access to the spiral staircase that leads to the door. The office itself is very big, with a circular layout. Bookshelves line the walls up to the ceiling, making everyone wonder how exactly the upper books were archived or reached, but magic is the answer to every riddle in the castle.
There is a small seating area directly to the right of the door when you enter. It consists of a big armchair and a couple of couches with a small fireplace in the corner. Opposite of this area is a place for the headmaster's Crup, Feo, to sleep, eat and play.
The desk where professor Botros sits at is on the upper dais with two small stairs to reach it. A big board of carved, glowing runes is set behind the chair, and a couple other letters, moving pictures floated randomly here and there next to him. The headmaster and headmistresses portraits were usually found snoozing in their frames. The portrait of the immediate predecessor of the current headmaster hangs behind the head's desk. Professor Truebridge's portrait is usually seen fussing over something or giving sassy looks at the headmaster's visitors when needed. There is also an enormous, claw-footed desk, and, sitting on a shelf behind it, a shabby, tainted wizard's hat -- the Sorting Hat.
ooc: - only post here when you've been invited by Botros.

Creating and breaking, yes." Blood magic, yes. Botros was already impressed with Zeke's enthusiasm to learn more and link what he knew with what Ab was telling him.
"Blood magic is a very powerful means. It is why Runes are sort of activated when a wizard is near or in contact with them. With blood magic, runes can be very dangerous." It was why he dropped this segment of this science in school. Kids didn't have to have ideas of how powerful one could get with little help from blood magic. That was something for when they were more mature and able to assess right and wrong. "I see you're very interested in this subject, is there a reason you're asking, son? Other than your desire to study Curse-Breaking?" Hmm?
Zeke was nodding, doing his best to make like a sponge and absorb everything the Headmaster said. It wasn't everyday that one had a private audience with the man, after all, had to make the most of it. And what the Headmaster said not only made sense, but it had him thinking of one of his earlier questions - one that he'd asked himself when the idea of Curse Breaking had presented itself. "That's another thing I wondered about. I mean, whether I could do the job is one thing, but because Curse Breaking mostly works around ancient sites, what would my prospects be in terms of job opportunities and security? Would it not get to the point where the work would run out as sites are excavated and cleared of value?" Because really, there was only so much gold and value in the world, he couldn't see it lasting forever, and he had to think of himself in all of this. Was there a modern application of the skills? Something he hadn't heard or thought of?
And blood magic. THAT stuff, was truly fascinating, he wouldn't lie. So with more nodding he communicated his understanding and respect for the field of study. Super dangerous... but also super cool. Not that he'd say THAT out loud, but it was true.
When Botros questioned his interest, he didn't at all feel as if he was being interrogated, they were two men having a chat. Mmhhmm. He was convinced of this, so he spoke freely. Of course, it helped when he had nothing to hide. "Not really, I mean it is interesting, and at this stage I just want to have a better sense of what I know, and what I need to know... if that makes sense?" Did it? He wasn't sure. "Do you think this is something I could do, Headmaster?" he asked, curious for the man's assessment. "Do you think I could study Ancient Runes at OWL and NEWT level?"

"I'm smart and everything too!" Smart enough for Ravenclaw! "And I know ALL ABOUT Ravenclaw! Because my mum was Head Girl! And she told me lots! And my dad and my uncle were Ravenclaws TOO! And the thing is, it isn't too late to fix it! They don't know that I got put in the wrong house because Davie," BFF, exhibit A, "Has helped me let them think that I'm one too, we took pictures and everything with me wearing his robes and scarf and stuff, so you see, it won't matter if you take it back! It won't matter if you say you were mistaken, please?!"
Did cute puppy dog eyes work on a hat? Was the hat going to answer them??
"We could make AMAZING discoveries for ALL of wizardkind in our common room!" Davie nodded along with everything Charlotte was saying. "You could be preventing the next big cure for... for.... for LOVE POTIONS or something!" he blurted. He didn't know what he was saying. He was just trying to think of an affliction they had learned about in their lessons, and love was certainly a terrible, out-of-control epidemic that plagued Hogwarts every year.
Still nodding, Davie had to wonder why the hat wasn't changing her house already. "Maybe you should put it on, Char," he encouraged his BFF. "Maybe the hat has to be on your head to do the un-Sorting and re-Sorting." Seemed to make sense to the ever-logical Ravenclaw.

SEE? Davie knew. He always knew the right things to say and she AGREED. AMAZING DISCOVERIES! There was potential for that but they had to be together properly and always for that to happen, didn't the hat understand?
"Yah! Love potions!" They probably WERE a problem for some people! Not for her though, nope, because anyone who actually fell in love with her (which was a lot of people, gosh it was hard being twelve) didn't do it because of a potion.
She nodded and put the hat on her head and then held her breath.

SEE! Charlotte ALWAYS knew EXACTLY what Davie meant, even when HE wasn't 100% sure what he meant. That was what BFFs were FOR. "How are we meant to be cooler than The Trio if we're not even in the same House," he muttered with a final breath to the hat, not even sure the object had HEARD his THOUGHTS.
Well, it was on Char's head now, so she was just going to have to tell him everything it was saying. Which, he reminded her to do with a soft, consoling pat-pat of her hand. "Don't forget to breathe," the ever-supportive Ravenclaw whispered encouragingly.

She watched him with concern, not that anything was wrong, but a man of his age she wasn't sure if he should be up that high. Though she knew he could certainly take care of himself, but she had grown to look at him as a father figure for most of her time there. "Ab really maybe you should allow the elves to go that high for you. We don't need our headmaster to slip and fall." She hoped she wasn't stepping over her limit to state her concern.
Her eyes went to where his crup usually was and she smiled loving animals the way she did. Finding a seat she waited for him to come down and sit in his chair as well. Her fingers fidgeting with her bag feeling many emotions that she had for a few weeks now. Her eyes were on the fireplace as she felt the warm and cozy feeling from it. Loving to curl up next to them since she was a child the heat never bothered her.
"I've been better. It's been a roller coaster since my grandmother had become ill and left us a month ago." She knew they all knew what had happened so it wasn't any secret to say. "I'm afraid I do need to speak with you with something that has been on my mind."
Though first happy things and she pulled out the little box and handed it over to him. "It's a variety of tea leaves that are always sold in my grandmother's shop. I couldn't help but to grab a few when I was doing some inventory there. I jut thought they'd be perfect for you."
Botros chuckled, patting her hand, "Oh don't worry about it, I can't have the elves do all the work for me." She sounded just like his overly concerned daughters. He wasn't going to sit back and live in his comfort zone for the rest of his life, that was like giving up to old age and not living life. He was touched by her concern, though.
Anyway! Over to why she decided to visit him today. Botros nodded solemnly. "Of course. My condolences." Again. He accepted the tea leaves happily, "Thank you very much, oh they smell beautifully." He took a big whiff. "Would you like to try them with me now?" Hmm? Oh wait, she needed to talk to him about something that was obviously important. He sat still. "How can I help you?" Ready to listen.

"I can recommend you a book to read from the library about runic wards. It's just an introduction and you might find it difficult at this stage, but it'll help you decide."

Definitely not in one of his finer moods after that sight, Justin whilst keeping an eye on the students sent patronuses out prior to reaching the castle. Hopefully at least one will be available to be here as well, so he thought. Right before reaching the corridor, he momentarily motioned the others to stop.
Switching his shoes he continued to the statue before giving the password allowing them to follow inside too. "Headmaster Botros?" Justin spoke before, announcing his entrance. "I had just found these two individuals, Masters Rehman and Nicolei, fighting in the Treehouse, with Miss Valke and Master Atreyu witnessing." Still standing, the Groundskeeper allowed the four to appear. "I already informed their Head of Houses."

Mind-blowing.
He hadn't even considered how big the world was to wizarding folk in comparison to muggles. Somehow the world seemed like a small place to him, and it was old and ageing, years passed one after the other, and he didn't think there could be all that much left to find. Until now. Portals. He might need to.. do some research on this, because scavenging sounded as if it were more up his alley. Zeke nodded to show his understanding, even if words weren't forming yet.
Adventure was on his list of 'likes', so staying put in one place didn't seem nearly as appealing... and then there was the issue of his mother. "Magical Law Enforcement?" he questioned instinctively. Yeah. That wasn't going to happen. "Do you know if it would be relevant to Accidents and Catastrophes? I'm also considering becoming an Obligator..." so it would be handy if those two skills could be integrated somehow. A book on Runic Wards though, that could work. "I'd really like that Professor, thank you."

Ready to listen.
Cassie still wished he'd let the elves help him, she'd hate to see him get hurt. Though she wasn't going to push the issue any longer. It was time to get down to business as it seemed she needed to get what she was here for out, but he did distract her with tea. [b] "Tea would be lovely. I am never one to say no to tea, especially some of my grandmother's finest leaves."[b] She never went without the best in her shop. The thoughts of her shop and the smell of the scents all made Cassie bite her lip to control her emotions.
"Ab, when I started here the signs and stars all pointed me to this direction. I have loved being here for the last five years. The students and staff have been nothing more then wonderful. I have found many new adventures, strengths, and very close friendships, but lately the stars are pointing to a knew direction. My place is outside of the school to focus on some personal things. My grandmother had willed me her shop and it was her wish for me to be the one to take it over." Her lip quivered a bit as she tried to get the words out.
Pulling her purse to her lap she opened it and pulled out a lavender scented pink parchment and handed it over to him. "This has been terrible hard to decide, but with the shop and some other things going on, this will be my last term here." She felt just awful saying it and fought back some tears.

This was really shaping up to be one of the worst days in her young life, Ilia thought to herself as she followed the groundskeeper silently to the Headmasters office. She had gotten letters from her parents that she didn't want to see, her boys had been arguing and Henric got hurt, she had lost points for the first time in her life, and now she was marched to the headmaster for who knew what was going to happen.
She failed. She had completely failed in anything but making a mess of things. Miserable, that about summed up how she felt. Her expression was stone cold and stoic, all of her angst and emotion was hidden beneath her porcelain doll face. She was shutting herself in again and reverting back to how she had been before she started here and got to know people. She didn't want to go back to Durmstrang or get shipped off to Beauxbatons and she feared that if her mother knew what had happened and why, that would be exactly what would happen.
She stood silently beside the groundskeeper, her blue eyes downcast to the floor and fixed there , with a blank expression. What would happen to her...them...now?

6 1/2 years and he'd never gotten in trouble enough to warrant the headmaster's office. He'd only been inside during the cartography club under Bunz. But now he was being forced here against his will for being a witness to trouble. Some witness he'd be when he couldn't even get himself to speak...just shuffle up from the grounds with the other three to the 2nd floor office.

"I'd really like that Professor, thank you."
Ahhh, so he was not interested in the defensive side of it. "Hmm. I would say they use runic magic in Accidents & Catastrophes department but I wouldn't take my word for it. They definitely used it when I was in Egypt." There was a pause before he continued, "Oh? An Obliviator? That's very interesting. I believe they learn some blood magic in there, not quite sure though." He scratched his bald scalp thoughtfully. Some details started to escape him.
As for the book, Botros happily summoned a parchment and wrote down a couple of book titles with the authors for Mr. Browne. "Mr. Leobald can help you get those from the library. Don't take time from your study time to read them, though. That is not going to do you any good." Hmm? Okay. He handed him the parchment.

Tea it was then! Botros beamed and went to the four-wheel-tray with the tea set to make them some soothing tea. "Me neither. I would never turn down tea. I can say I've had every type of tea there ever was by this age," he chuckled as he brewed the leaves skillfully, using his wand to accelerate the process.
When Cassie talked about the signs and her stars, Ab was very intently listening. He'd been into Divination at one point of his life, he even lived next to one Seer back when he was a young father with his wife. The Seer was such an odd but kind woman, he could still remember the deep wrinkles on her face and how they accented her complexion and made it softer somehow. Back to Cassie, though. "Aww," he started, bringing two cup of tea back to where she was sitting and offering her one of them. They would brew more in the cup, no need to wait for the entire pot to brew.
He looked down at the pink parchment sadly and took it in his hand. It was her resignation. "That's... I understand that sometimes we're ready to fold this page of our life and start a new one, but it is sad still." He sighed and folded the parchment gently. "You've been a great Divination professor, your club brought back the art of Divination, I am only sorry I couldn't attend as much as I hoped to." He smiled a little and gave her arm a fatherly pat.

Merlin help him...and Adi.
Botros was here. He was taking an unplanned nap on his armchair when Mr. McLeod opened the door startling him awake. His small glasses were quickly fixed onto his nose bridge. Hmm?
Hmmmmm?
The old man grabbed his cane and got from his armchair by the fireplace (yes, we know it was too hot for fire but not to him) and went to sit behind his big desk on the dais in the center. "Fighting? Mr. Rehman was fighting?" That sounded impossible. Botros knew the Hufflepuff since he was a little one, he was always the role model of his housemates. He looked at all four kids questionably, with faint knitted eyebrows. "Fighting how exactly? What for?" The questions were directed at the Groundskeeper for now.

The tea smelled wonderful and she smiled at his words. She felt silly for the hurt she felt at the beginning of the year now. Seeing where life was taking her now it seemed rather petty. "I've always enjoyed our tea times. That will be something that I will miss." She blew on the cup before taking a sip. The warmth relaxing her a bit, her nerves and emotions had been getting the best of her lately.
Folding a chapter to start a new, she knew that well, it just never got any easier. "I think this will be a good chapter. There are many things ahead, but it is the change that I've never been truly good at. I like the knowing and comfort of the way things are." Though the death of her grandmother forced a very big comfort away. She couldn't help but smile with the little bit of tears at his kindness. "Thank you, it has been such a pleasure bringing the art to the school. I've so enjoyed my time here."
As he spoke of her SNACinators she felt her heart break a little thinking about how she didn't have a meeting this term. "I'm sorry we couldn't hold more this term, but things happening just made it impossible. I do feel bad for the students about that." She felt guilty for failing them this term.
Feeling his hand patting her arm she reached up and squeezed it gently. "I can always be reached if you need a tea reading or anything else. If you can't find me by owl or in my shop just ask Leo and he can let me know." She wouldn't be disappearing all together with him still the librarian.
Henric couldn't believe it! He was here in the Headmaster's office...literally for the first time in his life! Wow. Oh wait...he meant oh noo!! It was all his fault! He shouldn't provoke Adi back at the treehouse or this fight wouldn't have happened at all. He was more than sorry, especially now that Benny and llia were unfortunately involved too. Everything was not going right for him at this moment. Trouble seemed to always find its way back to them when they least expected it. This was no exception. Henric glanced over slightly towards llia and he couldn't help but feel worried for her the most. Professor Botros was addressing them now...and wanted to know what exactly happened before everything went haywire. Now that his nose was fixed, thanks to the very same person who had broken it in the first place...he would be able to talk properly now.
He raised up his hand and stepped forward,"Sir, it is all my fault. I am the one who provoked Adi into punching me in the face. He was upset with me...because...because I have not been a good friend lately," he admitted, already regretting his past deeds. "I didn't mean any of this to happen but things lead to the next...everything escalated so quickly...all I can say is...I-I am truly sorry, sir..." Please. Headmaster..spare his friends from the punishments.

IT HAD TO BE THE HUFFLEPUFFS.
Moxley wasn't happy about this which was evident by the expression she was currently wearing. Weren't Hufflepuffs meant to be KIND? Weren't prefects supposed to be SMART? The brunette had a reputation to uphold here and seeing as some of the kiddos under her watchful eye were a part of this mess, she couldn't help but feel like Botros-that adorable man, Merlin-was going to be disappointed in her. She didn't like that, not one bit.
Heading inside after getting word that something was up, the muggle studies professor caught the end of Henric's explanation and had to keep herself from snorting. Had no one ever heard of using their words?
Instead of voicing such opinions, she stood with her arms crossed and waited to hear Justin's take on things, as well as Botros's. Her time to speak would come and when it did, hopefully she'd be calmer than she was right now because currently Moxley was a little teapot, short and stout, and she was ready to blow her top.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Adi was mentally whacking himself with his cricket bat for loosing control of himself like that. He numbly followed Mr Mcleod and his friends to Botros’s office. He just wanted to disappear. He couldn’t even look at anyone, he was so ashamed of himself. So much for being a student leader. If Hadley got wind of this, what would she think of him?! Adi didn’t want to go there, honestly. She had put so much confidence in him and he just…
When they arrived at the Office, the Hufflepuff shuffled in to stand close to Benny. He wanted… no, needed… to be close to his boyfriend even though he knew that the Lion must be in shock from what he had just seen. In addition to Hadley, Henric, Ilia, Adi knew he had big time disappointed Benny.
And Botros. The seventh year could not stand the surprise laced in old man’s voice. He just remained silent still after McLeod had spoken to vaguely explain the situation and Botros had responded. He couldn’t meet the eyes of the man he had always thought of as Grandpa Botros since his first year so instead he fixated his bespectacled, brown eyes on the wall behind him.
But then Henric happened. He jerked his head towards the other Puff. Botros hadn’t addressed the questions to the students, had he? Adi didn’t want to speak out of turn but he couldn’t let Henric take the blame. Not when it was his own fault. “Professor Headmaster?’’ What? He was accustomed to calling the man that. Anyway, he finally looked the man in the eyes. “I lost control of my anger, the anger which I was keeping in because of how much Henric hurt Ilia. I am just as sorry for my behavior.’’ He cared about his Veela girl a lot but he was going to shut up now. He had spoken even though they hadn’t been given permission to. He would dwell on the fact that he was also shook up that he was capable of PUNCHING someone. Great Hippogriffs… what else was he capable of? The question sent Adi’s heart racing and he felt this great weight on his shoulders.
Out of the corner of his eyes during his thinking, Adi saw the plump figure of Moxley sidle in. The instant he saw her, he wanted to melt into the floor. It was not the expression on her face that made him want to do that but here was someone else to add to his ‘Persons he had Disappointed’ list. He fixated on the interesting wall behind Botros again, his hand closest to Benny reaching for the other boy’s pinky to hook discreetly with his. This was easy given the very close proximity to which he was to him. Please don’t pull away, Benny. This entire situation was killing him and he needed you.

Justin kept his arms folded as he awaited the other students to get settled in. Fighting how exactly? The Groundskeeper opened his mouth to speak only to hear the perpetrators speak.
Well, well..
Finally some explanation was given. His patience had been lacking lately, but in this case Justin was fine with letting them explain. "I was tending the grass along when I had heard shouting near the Treehouse. So naturally I climbed up to see what was going on just as Master Rehman punched Master Nicolei after shouting obscenities at him whilst Mr. Atreyu was with Miss Valke who was visibly upset." Then, "Before Master Nicolei could retaliate I sent a shield spell between them." As for the reason, well, the Hufflepuff students just explained. "Before we arrived, they could not share an exact reason, as these two including Miss Valke were insisting on taking all of the blame."
Now then, what was next? Finally noticing Moxley, their head of house. She didn't look anymore happier than him.
The tea smelled wonderful and she smiled at his words. She felt silly for the hurt she felt at the beginning of the year now. Seeing where life was taking her now it seemed rather petty. "I've always enjoyed our tea times. That will be something that I will miss." She blew on the cup before taking a sip. The warmth relaxing her a bit, her nerves and emotions had been getting the best of her lately.
Folding a chapter to start a new, she knew that well, it just never got any easier. "I think this will be a good chapter. There are many things ahead, but it is the change that I've never been truly good at. I like the knowing and comfort of the way things are." Though the death of her grandmother forced a very big comfort away. She couldn't help but smile with the little bit of tears at his kindness. "Thank you, it has been such a pleasure bringing the art to the school. I've so enjoyed my time here."
As he spoke of her SNACinators she felt her heart break a little thinking about how she didn't have a meeting this term. "I'm sorry we couldn't hold more this term, but things happening just made it impossible. I do feel bad for the students about that." She felt guilty for failing them this term.
Feeling his hand patting her arm she reached up and squeezed it gently. "I can always be reached if you need a tea reading or anything else. If you can't find me by owl or in my shop just ask Leo and he can let me know." She wouldn't be disappearing all together with him still the librarian.
"Yeah..." he let out a little nostalgic sigh (even though their tea time hadn't passed yet). "We can always meet up somewhere else, though. I would definitely want to visit you at your grandmother's shop." Botros was interested in Divination as it was sort of overlapping with runes on so many occasions.
Aw yes, everyone was afraid of change. People's special ability was coping, though. He knew this much. "Absolutely. We won't let you go that easily," he beamed and took a sip from his cup. "Mmmm, those are fine tea leaves. The fumes alone are refreshing," he let them get into his face in a deep, nice silly sniff.

Now then, what was next? Finally noticing Moxley, their head of house. She didn't look anymore happier than him.
Botros had his disappointed face on as the two Hufflepuffs explained... ish. Or fought to be blamed for this? He was confused but sort of glad they were finally acting like Huffies. He didn't reply to either, just kept his hands folded over his desk as he listened to Mr. Justin speak now.
"Needless to say," he started looking at the two Hufflepuff boys. "This is an unacceptable behaviour in our school, especially coming from a Prefect." Extra emphasize on that while looking at Mr. Rehman. "Even Mrs. Truebridge's portrait's upset," he pointed at the big portrait over his head with Annie's nose up in the air as she gave everyone a haughty look. The Slytherin and the Gryffindor didn't look like.. they were involved, physically involved. "You two," he gesture at them both kindly. "Do you have anything to say? Mr. Atreyu. Didn't you think of stopping the disgrace that was breaking out? I've known you to be a rational boy." He did. He taught the kid. The Slytherin was the one they were fighting over, right? Botros just sighed at all of this.
"I am utterly disappointed in everyone, especially Mr. Rehman and Mr. Nicolei. Professor Moxley?" She looked like she wanted to say something... or stomp her foot?
Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna
Benny was only vaguely listening to what was going on around him, caught up in the nervousness of the situation. Botros seemed surprised, Moxley upset and the groundskeeper was continuing to explain things. As were Henric and Adi. But he couldn't help think it was all for naught. That this was to be the drama of the term since things had been going so well. So out of it, the Gryffindor was surprised by the touch at his hand, registering it more fully as Adi linked their smallest fingers.
Could the Hufflepuff feel his shaking though the minor link?
And then the headmaster was speaking again yet it was only when the questions were suddenly pointed at him that Benny's full attention was there. The seventh year unconsciously taking a half-step back, wishing to shrink at the attention, swallowing nervously as he tried to find his voice. "The yelling only happened right before the surprise of the punch. I didn't have time to do anything before Mr. McLeod's own shield kept me from stepping between them to stop it."
What was he expected to do? Adi and he were really close but he wasn't a Legilimens. He couldn't read his boyfriend's mind.
"And I had attempted to calm them earlier, " he added as almost an afterthought. That's why he had been right next to the two, not with Ilia. If only he had been better at it. Then they wouldn't be here.

Airey had been in the middle of some time sensitive research, so he had not had the luxury of being able to drop everything in the laboratory and make his way to the Headmaster's office, but he had NOW. Complete with loud thumping of a certain pet rock on her pink leash.
Knocking on the door thrice before softly pushing it open, the Gryffindor Head of House peeked his head in and....yup. There was Meri-berry and Justin aaaaaaaaaand there was Mr. Atreyu. Never in a million years would he think that a Gryffindor had gotten himself in trouble by association because of a Hufflepuff. What an ironic twist? Not that he had the whole story and, based on the patronus, Mr. Atreyu didn't seem to have been directly involved but more a witness?
"Sorry to interrupt. Came as quickly as I could..." he greeted, still acting as a floating head outside of the office.
So...what version of teenage angst was it this time?

Moxley wasn't really concerned with Mr. Atreyu or Miss Valke, though she had listened to Benny's account with mild interest. Her thoughts were quite like Airey's in that she never in a thousand years thought she'd see a Gryffindor trying to calm down two Hufflepuffs during a fight. It might've been laughable at another time, one in which she wasn't the person meant to be looking after the badger bunch. Merlin, she just couldn't believe this.
Noting it was her turn to voice her thoughts, the brunette took a deep breath and then let it out slowly, eyes sweeping the students until they landed on Mr. Rehman. "I think you had it right when you voiced your disappointment, Headmaster." Moxley's tone was dripping with it. "While I understand anger can be an overwhelming emotion," One she was doing her best to deal with at the moment, actually, "Students are expected to use their words. Especially students with leadership positions. What kind of example does it set-throwing a fist like you did?" The wrong kind, that was for sure.
"I expect better from the both of you. Conflicts happen all the time as you grow up, you'll need to start doing a better job of handling them." Her gaze shifted from Adi to Henric, then over to Botros.
"I'll support whatever punishment you think suits the crime, Headmaster." If she had it her way, she'd take away their hands for the day. Then they'd be forced to remember to use their words. Problem solved.
Ilia was beyond miserable as she listened to everyone speak. Henric was trying to take all of the blame for what had happened, Adi was blaming himself because he was upset and protecting her (emotionally), Benny was dragged into it all because of her and because they couldn't stop the puffs from getting huffy. Mr. McLeod was annoyed, 'Admiral' Flamsteed was here now too and Mrs. Muggle studies looked so angry she could have been a Pufferfish rather than a Hufflepuff........Punishment....they wanted to punish her boys!? She looked at their Headmaster , who sort of reminded her of her grandfather. He looked disappointed and she felt ashamed and upset that Henric and Adi were in trouble, did she have anything to say? With her it was one thing, but them....she started to feel the thing in her chest thump harder than it should and wetness started falling from her eyes. She couldn't seem to control it anymore and her blank expression went to sobbing from 0 to 60. "I'm sorry." Her quiet voice finally erupted. "Its my fault, I caused this. They wouldn't have been fighting if it wasn't for me. I'm so sorry." She tried to stop her tears but they kept coming....she had never cried in front of anyone but Henric and Adi and she was feeling exposed and embarrassed.
"I'm selfish and Henric and I had a disagreement." She confessed her feelings and he rejected her, they didn't agree so her term was technically correct. "I was upset and Adi was trying to make it better and defend me. I know he shouldn't have hit Henric, but I caused this.........please don't punish them harshly." Ilia had her eyes down cast as she spoke, a bit scared and not sure what to do, she didn't want to see the headmaster angry with her.
"Please don't owl my mother. I don't want to leave here." She was just melting emotionally and it made her feel sick with herself to show anyone how upset she was. It was over wasn't it? She wouldn't get to come back and she wouldn't get to see Henric or Adi. Her mother wouldn't let her near Henric again and she'd get shipped off to Beauxbatons.

Reason: Typo, sorry :O
Botros listened to Mr. Atreyu explain with the same disappointed face. The boy got one thing right, he couldn't have anticipated Rehman's punch. The Hufflepuff Prefect was not a violent boy. "Thanks for joining us professor," Ab addressed Flamsteed once he stepped in. "Mr. Atreyu here was in what appears to be a fist fight, except he was just a witness. He did not do anything that requires severe punishment from what we could tell." Pause. "However, it is disappointing to me to know that I have four of the well-behaving students be in such a disgraceful situation." The Slytherin girl started talking, obviously out of guilt, blaming herself for pretty much everything. Abraham listened politely as she recited the story, which to someone his age sounded like typical teenage angst. He would have called it cute if it didn't lead to fighting... and if he wasn't the headmaster of this school.
Even professor Moxley, who was a laughing happy woman, seemed angry. Botros gave her a nod and another sigh at the four of them. "Mr. Atreyu, Ms. Valke. I believe you know now how unacceptable it is to lose one's self-control and end up in a physical conflict. Not just here in school, but out there too. It usually leads to much drastic circumstance. However, since you're just witnesses to this situation, I would like you two to confide to your dorms for the rest of the day and reassess the story and see where you and your friends crossed the line that led to violence."
He turned his gaze to the other two Hufflepuffs. "As for you two," there was only one way to make this stick in their heads. "Detention every day after classes for the next three days. It should be longer, but I'm aware Mr. Rehman has NEWTs this year so we're going to be considerate." Because the boy wasn't a troublemaker in nature.
Now. "Everyone dismissed. See you in two hours in the dungeons." That was to the students and the Hufflepuffs. The professors and Mr. McLeon got a gentle nod from him. They could stay or leave, it depends on their schedules.

I believe they learn some blood magic in there, not quite sure though." He scratched his bald scalp thoughtfully. Some details started to escape him.
As for the book, Botros happily summoned a parchment and wrote down a couple of book titles with the authors for Mr. Browne. "Mr. Leobald can help you get those from the library. Don't take time from your study time to read them, though. That is not going to do you any good." Hmm? Okay. He handed him the parchment.
So that was a maybe then, he was cool with that, he'd be able to find out for sure one way or another. And EGYPT, that sounded interesting. He wondered how long ago that might have been, but he didn't ask, it might seem insensitive, which he wasn't - some of the time. His ears perked up at the mention of blood magic again though, "Really?" Awesome. He was definitely going to have to look into that further then as well. Choices. There were too many choices in life.
Though he didn't much fancy adding to his reading load, the topic did pique his interest, and so he would see Mr. Kitridge... or Leobald, whatever they were calling him these days. "Mmhhmm," he mumbled, rising from his seat and accepting the parchment with the titles on them, "thanks again for meeting with me Sir, it's been really helpful." SO helpful. He had already decided the library trip would come now on his way back to the common room, cause what else was there to do? "I won't take up any more of your time, thank you again, for everything," he grinned, bowing his head in a slight nod before retreating from the room.

Well, it was on Char's head now, so she was just going to have to tell him everything it was saying. Which, he reminded her to do with a soft, consoling pat-pat of her hand. "Don't forget to breathe," the ever-supportive Ravenclaw whispered encouragingly.
Char took a deep gaspy breath at the reminder and then made sad eyes at her bestie. "The hat isn't saying ANYTHING. It doesn't like me, maybe?"
Did he see this pout? It was the biggest saddest pout in the WORLD. BECAUSE THIS WAS A DISASTER! WHAT SHOULD THEY DO? Did Davie have ideas?
Charlotte's lip started wibbling dangerously.

"Are--are you sure?!" Davie had tried on that same hat before, even BEFORE his Sorting, and it was usually a friendly hat. Very chatty, very wise. He LIKED the hat, but he DID NOT LIKE it being mean to his best friend! He couldn't deal with that pout, just--- what--- like--- CHAR COULD BE ABOUT TO CRY!!! Davie didn't know how to handle girl!tears! They were very different from boy!tears because boys didn't cry, alright?!
He leaned into Char and gave the hat a sharp poke. "Hey there, Hat. We know you're Godric Gryffindor's hat, and this here girl is TECHNICALLY a Gryffindor. She needs your help. Don't let her down, okay?"
And then, if that didn't work, they'd have to use Auror-style-interrogation skills to MAKE THE HAT SQUEAL.
