Peeves? Mischa had heard stories about a poltergeist lurking in the Castle though he never actually had a run in with him. "Is he the one vith the bells on the hat and vears an orange bow tie?'' he asked curiously. He did see a few strangely dressed ghosts around Hogwarts. The ghosts were an interesting touch to the castle though he was surprised they were along to live there. "I gathered that much about her.'' He had also thought she would fit nicely in at Durmstrang. The Professors there had the same strict attitude.

Mischa actually laughed when the prefect stated her theory. She was no where close but he did not say anything. "Vou can stick vith that theory, Minerva.'' But as for the crystal balls he had nothing to do with that. He looked at her now his expression serious. "I assure vou I had nothing to do vith that.''

He could tell family was a topic she did not want to broach. "I apologize for bringing up vour family,'' the seventh year stated. He understood family could be a touchy topic. "To an extent. There is nothing like a dangerous task to use vour brain to the maximum.'' He shook his head his expression stony. "They are both employees at the Ministry of Magic.'' Not the British Ministry of course.

"I vill maintain my first place,'' Mischa stated. Joking around was something he had not done in a while and it felt good to do so. He glanced down at Biter. "Shall ve toss him again?''
