Look, Teddy wasn't a brown-noser, but he did care about people enough to unashamedly be standing outside the door of Schmoe's office with the intention of checking in on him. Just. To see how he's doing. How he's holding up. If he needed help in any way, maybe, to sort through things that may have been destroyed, if there was anything left. Or just... you know, try to help put to ease the eccentric man who had already been jittery enough before all the horrors of the last year. The Ravenclaw hoped he'd be surprised with the state of his Head of House - maybe he'd had a wonderful summer, engaged in some therapy, picked up some new rewarding hobbies - but truthfully, he wasn't counting on it.
The sixth year knocked on the door thrice and waited. |
