Patrick's eyes got large. He had promised the headmaster that he would bring the fuzz ball to him if he found it. Oh Merlin. He didn't want to be mean to the younger student...

but...

if he had to he was ready to snatch the fuzz ball out of her hands. Sure he had been all for the cuddles and fun but now... no now he wanted to be back in the good graces of the headmaster instead of always being around the terrible things happening. Moving his hair out of his face... woah that was thicker than normal... he looked at Stella, "I'm so sorry for what I'm about to do." he mumbled under his breath.

He glanced at the fur ball and then back at Stella. "Stella we have to get that thing to the headmaster like now." his eyes darted from her eyes to her hands where the fuzz ball was. He scratched his shoulder feeling an itch there.
