He wasn't sure what he had expected when he had called for help backup, but it was safe to say that the sixth year was sufficiently underwhelmed by what he got.
First was Nina who, on the norm, he enjoyed the company of and was among the few he would actively seek it out...but all he could think about was the boathouse and how her definition of 'help' consisted of shrieking. So it was a 'no' from him, especially when she started talking about Eloise. "....you give her far too much credit." Was Eloise even capable of brewing polyjuice? He had his doubts. Plus...WHERE would anyone get Godric Gryffindor hairs for that?
Of course there were countless other theories to apply to the situation, but Gryffindors were Gryffindoring and that ... ironically ... gave little pause to think.
That first year...was on Eiji's list. That second year was too but it seemed like something was clicking in her head FINALLY so he was willing to give her a pass.
Speaking of irony, the fact that it was Slytherins who were answering his Sonorus call was...ill-timed. His hazel-green eyes cast a cursory glance over at the first year who had entered AND would very much like to point out, Gryffindors, that the first thing out of her mouth were pure speculation about how this was even possible.
Self preservation, they had that.
He had half a mind to consider that sword a fake...but he also wasn't willing to take that chance. "OI YOU TWO," he barked at the Slytherin and Ravenclaw first years who seemed in their own little worlds despite the mass destruction around them and a grown man waving a sword around with every intention of cutting them down to make a path. "MOVE." He must have more of his parents in him than he gave himself credit for, because he was grabbing both of them by the hoods on their robs and tugging them out of the way of the "Sword of Gryffindor". Unfortunately for Eiji, the debris from all the explosions caused by the two Gryffindors ON HIS LIST made for uneven flooring and he tripped right over a pile of wooden rubble and fell square on his bum.
"....you were being morons, you mean," he retorted as Bernadette spoke. "Out of your bloody m----" And then, just as the Slytherin was groaning as he picked himself up off the floor, the headmaster arrived in a rage with his nostrils flaring so much that Eiji could practically see right up his nose and count the nose hairs. Not that he was looking, his eyes did quickly dart back to the now wandless pair of Gryffindors.
"I tried stopping them, headmaster," Eiji pointed out with flippant finger waves towards the pockets of seating and area that were still undamaged. Important to point out seeing as he had done a special service to the school and all. "They were taking orders from Godric Gryffindor." The sarcasm on his tongue was so thick it would stop a troll. "WHO then told them to turn their wands on me when I tried to stop them."
Which got him thinking about how the guy hadn't used magic himself...at all. Which was...very peculiar given what all was in the history books about the founder.
