SPOILER!!: Hi, Vi! <3 Quote:
Originally Posted by Felixir  Nem had been quite content to let the lesson continue as scheduled, once they'd said their piece, had been sitting at their desk and waiting for precisely that, plus whatever consequences Varma wanted to give to those muggle-borns. But they also knew exactly what the student population of this school was like, and ultimately expected nothing more or less than a show of wilful stupidity.
With each student that spoke, Nem looked around the room at those who made themselves known, giving each a stare as flat and dispassionate as the last. The only thing they weren't sure of was whether these kids were seeking out a retaliation from them, or making sorely misguided attempts to appeal to their... what? Feelings? Conscience? Evidently they really had been fooled.
Nem didn't reply. Not to Trent's absurd claim, or the accusations of 'traitor' or 'coward' - again, fooled was right - none of it. Not a word touched them, nothing moved them, no part of it angered them whatsoever. Nem had seen the other members of the Squad in the room, and made note of them leaving. No, no reason to act further. This was covered.
By the Big Man, of course. Nem turned to him when he entered, and wasted no time in replying. "Started with some shoving in the doorway by those muggle-borns, sir," they said, pointing out Yoon and Stover, easily marked by the nosebleed and head gash. "I handled it, then reminded Professor Varma she should be dealing with them properly. Identified myself as part of your Inquisitorial Squad, and several students disrespected that. Verbal outbursts, insults. A couple of repeat offenders too." Perhaps he knew some of the names already, but Nem was happy to provide all the same. "William Stover. Minjae Yoon. Kale Trent. Ashley Fox." Quote:

Neither Fox nor Trent surprised him, evidenced by the way his expression remained passive while he listened. Stover and Yoon? Neither tugged terribly at his heart strings either. Both had seen time and time again what value they held as mudbloods and still chose to make themselves targets--presenting their necks as it were.
He did not address the named students immediately. Instead, he turned to face the entire class. "Observe. I'm about to show you what happens when you've become more a nuisance than I care to deal with any longer. Upstead is a member of the Inquisitorial Squad. Disrespect and defiance to them, is defiance to my will. Defiance has no place here." Something he did not think he would have to repeat for the millionth time.
Well.
He was done repeating.
"Varma, you will join Williamson." Not a discussion, not something he cared to discuss. "The squad will escort you at the end of your lesson. If a child is better at doing your job than you are, you're fast outliving your use."
And to the trouble makers. "You've brought this on yourselves and have no one to blame but your own stupidity and inability to know when and what to speak. No ideas self-preservation. No care for what might happen to those around you as a consequence of YOUR poor choices. Reckless idiots are not needed in the new world. You have proven you cannot think beyond whatever emotion pops into your head. Your lack self control--some of you on a near continuous basis. I have just the thing for you."
The man flicked his wand at each in rapid succession. Quote:

Where were they?
How badly do you want to find out? Quote:

But she suddenly broke off as chaos slowly erupted in the room--spells being fired, Nemesis (who apparently really had gone over to the dark side in a big way) defying the teacher, the Inquisitorial Squad making an appearance (of course), and to top it all off, the so-called Headmaster showing up. Now Professor Varma was banished to the Room with the rest of the misfits (Violet tried to feel bad for her, but was not completely successful, because she was just a bit glad that the potions teacher would be down there with them--maybe they could talk about potions to pass the time?).
But the climax was the disappearance of a number of students as the result of some sort of spell cast by Rosier. What had happened to them? Were they dead? Or just....gone?
And now apparently they were supposed to go on with a class activity? How could anyone do anything after witnessing a scene like that? Violet was too numb to even feel her usual anxiety about trying to find a partner, though she did look around to see who was left.
Boy, you miss ONE day and all kinds of craziness happens!
Claudine’s eyes snapped to Nem, her expression changing from astonishment to disbelief and eventually to disgust as he spoke to Varma. They had turned on the students?! Claudine was too angry to say anything, which was probably a good thing given how things unfolded afterwards. She was still sitting here, angry and with her fists gripping the workstation so tightly that her knuckles were white when he showed up.
The fifth year winced as Nem called out the names which included Ashley and Minjae. And to think she had actually liked Nem! And even considered them a friend. Well, not anymore. They could drop dead this instant for all she cared. Claudine winced again, this time for Varma.
As for the vanishing classmates? Claudine’s mouth was legit left hanging open in shock. One second Minjae was beside her, but the next he was gone. This left her shaken. She eventually closed her mouth and returned her gaze to Varma, even though she wanted nothing more than a comforting hug from Heath. She also wanted to cry but naturally was not going to do that where everyone could see her.
And… and how could they just continue the lesson after what just happened? Still… Claudine knew that if the remaining students didn’t want Varma to get into any more trouble, they needed to go on.
“Vi?” she whispered to the third year. “Want to partner with me? If you do, you can ask the questions first.” Shaky. Claudine was still shaky. And anxious. |
