Botros was sitting behind his desk, toying with his wand and watching the students struggle in this battle. Some were taking it too seriously, but that was cute. He was particularly glad about; Hufflepuff's teamwork, Slytherin's excellence, Ravenclaw's creativity, and Gryffindor's determination. They all were doing great and just as planned in his eyes.

Except for when Odessa managed to invoke the runes carved on his house's armour. Botros slowly stood up, his mouth stretching into a surprised but gleeful smile. When he said all was fair in war, he definitely didn't imagine this would happen. There was a moment before the old man recovered and saw one of the armours heading towards the Head Boy.

He waved his wand and all armours turned away and marched noisily toward the professor's desk. "Well done everyone! Great job! Take a moment to breathe and appreciate your magic work today. Very good job. Odessa, that was a piece of work, what you did." He gave the boy a small applause, not everyone had a father who taught them about runes before school so the others shouldn't feel bad. Botros continued clapping as he said, "Great job Hufflepuffs, great teamwork. Impressive last-minute resorting Ravenclaws, well done. Amazing determination, Gryffindors, sorry you had the clumsy armour. I love it to bits, though." He grinned at the few Gryffindors who were probably panting and catching their breath.

"Let's see now." He fixed his glasses on his nose bridge and stepped down from the dais. "Hufflepuff armour has a dent and a loose arm, I'd give it three out of five. Gryffindor armour has a crack on its back, also three out of five. Slytherin armour has scratches on the arms and the knees, four out of five. Ravenclaw armour has a dent on the back and a loosen helmet, three out of five." Botros stopped at the last armour and faced the students with a proud smile and a twinkle to his old tired eyes. "Very good job, everyone again. You did well. Give yourself a pat on the shoulder." He waved his wand and all four armours did a powerful salute!

"That's the end of our lesson, don't worry about the mess. Just pack your things and go take a shower and have a nice meal." He headed for his desk again, "Odessa. May I speak with you in my office after you've showered and eaten, please." The boy was awfully gloomy this lesson.
