I' can' help a' all, bu' it can hurt." Pulling it out prematurely was certainly not what the man wanted. "An' hones'ly, yer a wizard, remember? Buy a hair growth potion!"
And yet, he should still humor the man. "Bu' fine, bend over an' I'll check fer yeh." But quickly, because he didn't need five hundred students plus several of his colleagues seeing this. Nodding Leo responded seriously. "Yes I am. It's just a big thing for me. It has always been that way even if it’s hard to understand." Other people were scared of heights or small places or spiders and he was scared of going bald. Lowering his hands from his hair Leo gulped. "Okay, I shall keep that in mind." Following Ali’s advice was another story. "I have tried hair potions but they haven’t worked on my hair." He responded. Bending over so Ali could check his head Leo guessed that it looked weird. He held still so for a few minutes before he straighted up and said. "Thank you Ali. I wouldn’t have asked if it wasn’t important." Quote:

Going back to Egypt to visit my sons and their families. Yourself?" Was it just his weary eyesight or did the man look a bit... uncomfortable? The staff table was too long. Leo wanted a nice and good conversation with Abraham and share stories from the term. The table didn’t allow that. They were sitting too far away from each other. Suppressing a pout Leo called over. "I’m going to Spain with my nephew Lucas and then I'll just spend time with my family." Quote:

Leo wanted to take Hecate’s offer of a hair tonic but it came with strings attached. He had never liked being in debt to anyone least of all a potions mistress. Coughing he shook his head. "Thank you but no thank you Hecate. I think I’ll try my luck at Primpernell’s first. If I however am unsuccessful i’ll seek you out at the start of next year." Yes, a solid plan. SPOILER!!: Cece & Alistaire Quote:

You're having another staff member check to see if you're going bald? You need to get over it already. Suck it up. You're a man, men lose their hair, they go bald. It happens. Move on with your life and be happy with the hair you have left." Not that she noticed he had really lost any. She was just really tired of hearing him whine about it. Quote:

An' Cece, he was jus' going ter keep carryin' on abou' it, so I just decided ter humor him." But then... Hecate said something nice? Was she offering to help Leo? "An' tha's mighty kind of yeh, as well." Perhaps she'd forgotten to take her daily dose of U-No-Poo. But apparently Cece hadn't. He patted Leo's arm sympathetically. "I would've said it nicer, bu' they do both have a bit o' a point, Leo." Cece has never been known for her diplomatic way of putting things and this was not any different. She basically told him to get over his fear of going bald since it was normal for men to lose their hair. Leo just stared at Cece for a moment or two before he mumbled. "That’s easy for you to say. I will try though. I can’t promise you more than that." Cece probably had just said something to not hear him whine about it before the Annie gave the speech. And Ali agreed even if he wasn’t so blunt about it. SPOILER!!: Annie’s speech Quote:

Even if she was still mad at them ALL..... whoever the 'them' was that had put gassy cows in her office....
"Welcome to the end of term feast, everyone. I hope you have all studied hard and had a successful year. We are, as always, proud of all our students, and are especially proud of our graduates, the class of 2080." She looked around at the table, not showing a bit of happy emotion for the students. "I would also like to congratulate our House Cup winners, Hufflepuff; our Quidditch Cup champions, also Hufflepuff; and our Gobstones winners, Slytherin." She clapped her hands lightly and a flock of house elves scurried into the room, all carrying celebratory bowls of ice cream. "Please be sure to enjoy dessert along with your meal today, as we are celebrating not only our House, Quidditch, and Gobstones champions, but we are also celebrating the start of something new." A new partnership, of sorts. Bunz eyed the ice cream starting to create a stir and continued talking.
"This term was a unique one because we had our first-ever open election for the Hogwarts Board of Governors. The Hogwarts Staff and current Board members did an excellent job of attempting to educate you all on how a democracy works and on how our own school is run. To show the importance of last month's election, Hogwarts even went so far as to host a voting booth on this floor. We also allowed you all -- our students -- to vote, regardless of whether you are of age or not. I'd like to announce those results now."
She reached down by her empty plate and picked up a tiny scroll, which she unrolled ceremoniously. "The nine candidates elected by the Hogwarts students' MOCK vote are: Atticus Aldredge, Sherman Clark, Cooper Cope, Gavin Higareda, Ivy Knox, Carter Phillips, Nolan Reynolds, Althea Schirmer, and Corineus Vanderbilt. How nice of you all to vote. Hogwarts thanks you for your participation in this process."
The redhead paused and looked up from her scroll with a tiny, just minuscule, evil little smile at the students. "And as much as we do appreciate your voting, students, here are the REAL results. Here are the nine people who were REALLY elected to the Board, and who will be serving our school for possibly DECADES to come.
"The wizarding public has elected: Atticus Aldredge, Sherman Clark, Cooper Cope, Ivy Knox, Carter Phillips, Nolan Reynolds, Althea Schirmer, Corineus Vanderbilt, and Erik Vinteren to the Board. Please congratulate these fine Governors if you see them around the school in the future, and as always, remember your manners around them."
She rolled her little scroll back up and dropped it to the table. "With that, I have no further announcements, save for one: If anyone EVER enters into my office without FIRST RECEIVING MY EXPRESS PERMISSION to do so, EVER AGAIN, so help me Merlin I WILL be serving their heads on a platter for the main course of the next feast." Her blue eyes flashed red all around at all four House tables, HOPEFULLY FINDING the person(s) who had pulled THAT PRANK on her, and making them feel TERRIBLE for it. Then she put on a sweet smile again and finished her speech.
[b]"That will be all. Thank you, and enjoy your meal."[/B
"What." Annie said simply after she exhaled her last bit of anger. She turned her head to drolly glance at the Healer.
"Oh that won't be necessary," Annie carried on her conversation with the groundskeeper, even if Cece and a baby were leaning on him as it were. He looked strong enough to handle the weight of all those women. Ha. "I do have a home in Hogsmeade, you know, Alistaire." She looked back to the table and picked up her new water goblet.
Was that his doing? How nice of him. "Thank you," she remarked, rather touched by the gesture. Well well, the redhead might just have a favorite groundskeeper now. That wasn't saying much, though, considering she'd strictly hated all the previous ones she'd worked with. Quote:

"I'm sorry, everyone, I don't mean to interrupt your feasting," she sure didn't sound sorry, "but it appears we have a few last minute points to give out." She turned to shoot a certain LOOK the Healer's way. "For cleaning the hospital wing from top to bottom, supposedly so well that even House Elves were impressed, Healer Tillstorm would like to award six points each to Dylan Montmorency and West Odessa. That brings Slytherin House's total points score up to 5,343, so that they are officially TIED with Hufflepuff House for the 2080 House Cup."
She clapped her hands again and great big Slytherpuff banners fell down to decorate the large wall behind her. "It seems a congratulations are in order for the first tie in recent memory. That concludes our speech and term, everyone, please eat now."
She sat back down again with a Huff and dragged a bowl of mashed potatoes her way. Woman needed carbs after all that talking and seething. Annie stood up thankfully and gave her traditional speech. Leo just gaped in shock by the end of it since the House points cup was tied between Slytherin and Hufflepuff. Had that ever happened in Hogwarts history? Asking nobody in particular Leo wondered out loud. "Have the house cup standings ended on a tie before in the school’s history?"
As the food appeared Leo filled his plate with a little bit of everything before he dug in to the food like someone that hadn’t eaten in a while. Worrying always made him hungry. Quote:

"Hey, Leo, did you know that scientific study shows that eating ice cream of the mint variety can help stimulate hair growth?" Cue another smirk as another spoonful of ice cream went into his mouth. Oh look, his bowl was all empty. Time for another. "Looks like I will have luscious locks forever at this rate."
Leo had just eaten up the last bits of mashed potates and was debating whether he wanted more food or not when he heard Airey shout from the other side of the table."Oh really? I haven’t read that study. Did it say how much ice cream you had to eat to stimulate hair growth?" he called down to the Airey. Pulling the ice cream bowl towards him Leo moved a considerable amount of ice cream onto his place. Scooping up some ice cream onto his spoon he held it up and yelled over to Airey "Shall we see who can eat the most ice cream? We should invite some students to join too." Plucking the first spoon into his mouth Leo hummed in satisfaction, delicious ice cream. Glancing around him at his fellow staff members he urged. "Come on everyone let’s see who can eat the most ice cream. It will be fun!"
