"You think I won't?" he replied, settling with questioning the idea instead of playing around with the man's word choice. Honestly, he could keep his nose clean all he liked, but it didn't mean he'd be keeping his fingers out of the cookie jar or his toes out of the water. Where there was fun to be had, he would have it .... which reminded him. "Have you spoken to mum? Told her that you're helping me out this summer?" He DID say he'd help.. he hadn't forgotten, right?
That smirk. It caused Sabel's eyebrows to take a high trip on his forehead. Combined with that question, it just meant one thing. Trouble.
"....At least try to keep it unbroken."
He was going to move on, clapping the kid on the shoulder once again, when the question hit him in the chest. That. Right. Uhm. He patted the boy's shoulder a few more times as he thought. He hadn't forgotten persay. It was just....
"I'll be stopping over in the next few days. We'll chat about things then."
Meanwhile, there was food and friends and the last thing Browne likely wanted to be doing was talking to his Professor. So, he gave one final pat to the shoulder along with a
"Enjoy the feast" before moving on.
SPOILER!!: Zander!

But they were in a public place now, surrounded by tons of other people. So Zander just gave the man a very confused nod. And an uncertain wave. The Professors here, they were all crazy in their own ways, huh?
Which meant he should probably stop traumatizing Adair now. So, he reigned in his grin and returned the amicable nod. Food was here, and he wouldn't want the kid to loose his appetite.
Still, despite all his teasing, the nod said two things quite clearly:
'Congratulations' and
'Good luck'.
SPOILER!!: Airey!

Okay so it had been entirely because of the ferocious beasts Cassiopeia kept in her purse...but he had already dealt with you Sabel! You had been given your novelty mug and there had been looks of fleeting sentimental bromance. NO MORE.
Alright. So there had been a salute offered. BUT THAT WAS IT.
It was Airey's little salute that caught his attention next. It looked rather reserved for the man, but perhaps he was in the midst of epic congratulations and was worried about being interrupted. Or that Sabel might toss a cat at him.
In any case, not wanting to startle the man any further out of his socks, Sabel returned the salute with a two-finger flick off his temple.
SPOILER!!: Ava & Yoongi

But I’m going to beat you next year” he grinned, not knowing yet that there wouldn’t be a next year.
And no sooner was he two steps down the table, when Burton halted him with her greeting and question. Sabel blinked at her, as if she had spoken gibberish for a moment. Yoongi was quick to follow suit, with the implications. He...right. He hadn't told them the news, had he? It was an internal debate as to whether or not to break it to them now. But it was hard to avoid a direct question.
He worked a small smile onto his lips, bowing his head slightly.
"Thank you for being such a fantastic participant, Miss. Burton. And you, Mr. Yoongi. Your skills are improving rapidly." As for that awkward topic of returns, Sabel spared a glance around and let out a breath of air.
"The dueling club is likely to run next year, but that will ultimately be up to your new Professor. I...unfortunately won't be returning to Hogwarts as I have some personal matters to attend to."
There it was. Nice. Sweet and informative.
Now that it was out of the way, he gave the young kids a mischievous grin.
"But I expect you all to knock the socks off your next Professor." And they could take that as they would.
"And Hyland, best save that promise for your new Professor. I'm sure they'll be just as eager to accept the challenge." SPOILER!!: Dora!

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught Umbridge making mushy faces at him and waving. In a moment of pure childish behavior, Sabel turned his head and stuck his tongue out at her. It was immediately followed up by a big grin and belt of laughter.
Merlin he was going to miss these kids.
