Eh? What was that Tate? She strained to get a look at Tate as he mentioned something about a specialist from the Ministry. But apparently that wasn't what the fuss was all about? It was about him flaunting pictures of his baby. Well that was just very ..... Gryffindor of him.
"Troublesome orb? Why?" She asked, perplexed. What was so special about this particular orb anyway? It was just something found. "Were there problems or something with it?"
He nudged to towards the edge of HIS seat.
"My seat, Fina. Yours is over there," Vindictus said and pointed to her empty seat.
"For the record, I did not lose it. I tripped on an exposed tree root and when I fell, I twisted my already-injured knee thanks to your reckless Seeker. There was no broken glass, if that's what you're worried about." Quote:

As for Fina's question... "Not a single problem that I can see, although I don't want to handle the thing. I haven't had much exposure, but it looks remarkably like a prophecy orb like they keep at the Ministry, and those are all charmed to drive a person mad. You can ask Cece, as she checked your prefect over, but no one seems mad." Stupid, though... there was so much stupid going around these days.
Max refrained from replying to Tate's shushing and he tuned out the rest of the conversation about the orb.
Blah, blah, blah. If it was one of those freaky orbs, then three of us would be sitting in St. Mungo's wearing straight jackets and being fed Jello while sitting in a padded room.
As his thoughts wandered, his eyes fell on some pictures that were being passed around. What?!
"Why didn't I get the memo about this being show-and-tell? You have got to see my latest portfolio."
Grin.
