And this was the thanks he got? "I should shove your nose out the back of your head using only my fist and a bit of Muggle physics," he finally growled, letting his eyes close. He kneaded his forehead.
"Perhaps, Ethan... perhaps it would have been better to share this information with me earlier. And in private. Just one of those social conventions you might want to remember for next time."
"I wouldn't want to have to hex you." Truebridge answered apologetically and tried to extract himself from the hugging Violet.
"I decided yesterday. Or rather, I got the offer a week ago and made my mind up yesterday." Ah yes. Social conventions. Those pesky things. He wasn't so good with them really.
Was this the appropriate time to extend a dinner invitation?

I resign.
The words were out before she could stop them,
"You can't."
The Headmaster was there, in 'conversation' with Professor Truebridge ---- and Gold launched herself on Truebridge, and hugged him. HUGGED him. "You can't resign," she said. "Everyone leaves. Professor Crispe left. Professor... Professor Kazimeriz left -" There was a lump in her throat - "Professor Lawson is leaving. Professor Lawson -" The other Professor Lawson -- "Is leaving. You can't leave." He couldn't, couldn't, couldn't.
He had to know that.
Had to.
More hugging? By this point Truebridge was obviously twitchy. He liked these kids but he had to keep telling himself not to hex every single one of them, simply because he didn't really DO touching. Never had. Superhuman effort though, and he patted Gold's shoulder and nodded at her even as he tried to free himself.
"You'll leave one day too, Gold." Err. "I've... enjoyed having you as my student." True. But there was hugging. Which was less enjoyable.

"B-B-But...." she started. "Nothing can be better then Hogwarts" she pouted, almost giving him puppy dog eyes. Now they usually worked. Whether they worked on professors was another matter.
He actually answered her question about which friend. Maybe the Slytherin should be more nosey more often. "Oh I see" she replied, sly grin and with a wink.
"Refreshed? If you mean smelling of horses and covered in goodness knows what and mud then sure, refreshed is the word" she sighed. Yeah because it was never dry in Wales. So she wouldn't get down to the beach or anything. So sad. Write to him? Eh she wasn't in need for a pen pal, she wanted her professor. "I will..." she told him. What exactly do you write to your ex professor about? She didn't think he'd exactly want to know her life story.
Oh the Headmaster. Perfect. "Please make him stay Sir" she pouted over at him now. Wow what was with the girl today? Well at least she was being polite. A good little slytherin. *Angel halo* But she heard his comment and stared blankly. Jeez that was a little violent......
"Its the people that make Hogwarts. Not the place itself. And with magic, you never truly leave anyone." Floo and all that. "I know you'll be fine. And help your house mates." and... you know, make sure they get through the next term intact. "Its been a pleasure teaching you, Trixie."
Well. Refreshing to Truebs who liked spending his summers tramping around the world, interacting with dangerous beasts. It would be the Congo for the first half of the summer and Tibet for the second.

That looked like her cue to go, but she was too shocked to say anything she just stood there slooooowly took a step back.
Violet gave a little pout as Gold starting hugging Professor Truebridge he was HER hugging buddy. Hmph. She focused on Tate and Truebridge again and just stared.
"I believe in you, Violet. You proved everyone wrong this term and I'd like to hear that you continue to show everyone what you are made of." Truebridge added, finally managing to pull himself free from the huggers. He spotted Raiden and gave the boy a nod.
