Simon was grateful for some small favours when Peeves decided to leave. Now he could focus on his Hufflepuffs! But GAH- the stench of swamp water was coming from the table. He focused on the raspberry that Peeves blew and then was promptly covered in swamp water from the balloon that Peeves had dropped.
Welp.
He stood there. And then nodded. “Alright then,” he said to no one in particular as he pulled out his wand and began to dry off the excess water. He’d deal with the smell later. This was decidedly much worse than his first word (G’Day) uttered at the Start of Term feast as a brand new Professor here.
At least someone was excited to see him. He flashed Jude a happy smile and nod. “Yes, I am! I’m looking forward to being your Head of House this term. My office is always available. And don’t worry, history isn’t the only topic that we have to talk about.” He then pointed to his robes and cast a non-verbal Scourgify.
What a start to the feast.
He turned his attention back to his Puffs noticing that Kayla and Maria had both been hit with the swamp water filled balloons. Maria’s tears really were upsetting to see. He did raise his eyebrows when she mentioned the snake. Why would someone leave someone else a gift of a snake? He frowned. He knew words probably provided little comfort especially since he knew her father had been one that had been mer-napped. The outside world had wonderful ways of intervening into their little school (which was already dangerous enough). “I can take care of the Snake and I can clean up your robes too. And Miss Cloud’s.” A quick Scourgify should do the trick for the robes. As for the snake…
How funny that his house’s mascot should come pay him a visit. He was not fond of Divination but perhaps he’d have to ask his sister if there was an unintended meaning of this meeting. “Apologies,” he said to the Snake. Ironic. “Vipera Evanesca” he spoke, casting the spell on the red-eyed Snake.
Black smoke took the place of the snake.
“Right. Robes next?”
