Gideon certainly believe on the same track as Christopher...it wasn't planned.
At least Kurumi had a head on her shoulders knowing running after it wasn't going to help anything. Thats what had been done before and they hadn't caught it all term when seen before. And Bentley agreed with the idea offering a suggestion and Gideon tried to think of what they could lure it with.
What to do...what to do?
Socks?
Kurumi's cookie idea hadn't gotten his attention but her sudden exclaimation about socks beat through his brain fog. "Of course...." he remarked remembering stuff he had once heard from his great aunt about house elves. Obeying his friend the prefect, he sat down and moved to take off his own socks. If he was gonna help he might as well go all, freeing his red-toed socks from his shoes before returning his shoes to his feet.
Gideon couldn't help shaking his head and fighting laughter as August fought with pressure to get Bentley involved with the cause. At least she was good natured about it all and not upset, giving in to it all. Now to go find the baby house elf.[/COLOR]
Selina nodded,
"Yeah, I guess it is a nice way to end the term. I just hope that next term the food will be a tad bit better. I'm sick of Kurumi complaining about the food in the Great Hall being-" Suddenly there was a bang and the banner that she had noticed had gone down was now causing all sorts of panic in the Great Hall. What was everyone's problem? This was bloody brilliant. The Slytherin's were being a tad S.M.U.G., smug, since they won all three things this term. Whatever person knocked down their banner deserved a handshake.
But as the chaos continued to ensue she felt like the Great Hall became a parody on itself. One second the house elves were running from table to table abusing themselves, the next Tate's voice was booming over the entire hall and finally there was the great reveal that the small, mysterious thing was indeed a baby house elf. Could this school possibly get any weirder? She assumed it could, but honestly this was a little odd.
Then it progressed and got weirder still. Auggie was jumping at Bentley shoes and Kurumi's was beckoning everyone to remove their socks. What in Merlin's name was going on? She was actually slightly frightened by the crazed look in Kurumi and Auggie's eyes.
All of that melted away when Gideon actually conceded to the lunacy and took off his shoes,
"What are you doing? Don't listen to-" Toe Socks? Seriously? She didn't know they even made those type of socks. They looked extremely comfortable. The most amusing pair of socks she had even worn were her fuzzy ones, but socks that worked like gloves... that was new.
"Are those toe socks? That's awesome..."
