"Professor!" his voice boomed as he quickly glided his way over towards the two. "I do hope you won't find it an inconvenience if I took the young one aside and had a word with him?"
And it was very admirable that Sir Lancelot had not proceeded immediately to tell turns of the truth. Sir Nicholas puffed his chest out in pride. Quote:

It was neither here nor there for him and the Charms Professor had always made a brilliant devil's advocate. "Your cloak, eh? I can see that." He said circling him once more for emphasis before coming to a stop by the ghost. "I don't mind at all, in fact the fireplace looks a little empty." Such a good sport he was too as he plucked the cloak from the boy, holding it carefully because he WAS sure there was something in it but wasn't sure anyone else needed to know that yet. Maddox grinned a wide toothy grin, displaying his unusually large canines. "I'll take good care of this for you, lion's honour." Of which he had very little left....
Ahem. Quote:

Nope. Nothing out of the ordinary...at least nothing he wanted to discuss right NOW. Perhaps during their next Friday game night...
Losing track of some of the happenings in the common room - man on a juggling mission over here - he saw Maddox take something (the boy's uniform?) from a first year. It didn't take Sir Nicholas long to react to this and then Maddox to insist. Which meant there was food involved most likely.
Airey would have walked over to see what was going on but...priorities. Juggling and perhaps even getting his name in the muggle book of records was far more appealing than investigating at the moment.
However...
"Sir Nicholas," he called over to the ghost. "When you are done speaking with Mr. McWitty I was wonder if perhaps I could have a word?" A favor really. Yup, just his cloak. Nooooothing more.
Lance just about melted with relief when the ghost, whose name was still unknown to him, came over and asked for a word with him. His eyes brightened, heart pounding at the prospect of getting out of this alive and uncaught. IT WAS WORKING.
No, no it wasn't working. "Wha-wai-I-I-I-I-I-I..." his clammy hands clasped and unclasped at his sides. His cloak! So much sweating. So much DREAD. So much heart pounding, holy hippogriffs! He was going to get expelled. Or worse. Detention. No wait, that didn't make sense. Glancing back and forth from the cloak in the Professors possession and dear gosh, what large teeth the Professor had...
Fortheloveofallthingsoniongravy, his Head of House wanted to speak to him too.
Tugging at the neckline of his jumper, he visibly swallowed, feeling a little faint. He failed at his title of Gryffindor Knight of the Silver Platter. |
