Tancred made sure he winked a good wink at Cale. He was sure that the Prefect would've loved to be informed about what he had done before, but it was just one of those last minute things that usually sprouted right out of him. Although, it would be a good laugh for everyone and it seemed like Richardson had no clue that he had made him dangle in the air like that in the first place. And he earned a total of ten points too!

"Not a problem at all, my good man," Tancred said, patting the professor on the back before he headed off to stand next to Cale for the remainder of the class. All he knew was that he wasn't going to pull something off like that on Richardson again. Maybe one more time if it was necessary, but that thought probably wouldn't occur to him again. This might've been his last class of the school year.

Then Professor Richardson mentioned that there would be no homework. Tancred's face lighted up in appreciation for the man. I guess not all of the Ministry Approved professors are that bad. This one at least knows how to give points. He then back tracked and gave Richardson a hug - that was totally unexpected! "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Tancred said in a grateful tone. "Thank you! I have enough homework as it is, and N.E.W.T. year is a nightmare, I tell you. Thank you, Professor Richardson!"

Now this time he went back to Cale. What did I just do? he thought, looking back at Richardson. Merlin! I hugged a professor! I hugged an enemy professor. He gave Richardson a quick, friendly smile and walked out of the classroom. Okay. That was ... weird. Very weird. He then waited for Cale just outside of the room, away from Richardson's sight. It was time to learn about this Order of Mane.
