If Herod had been drinking pumpkin juice, he proably would have spit it on Rex in surprise (acciedntly of course and thank god he wasn't drinking at the time!!!)

He did however, almost, fall off his chair.....As he regained his balance he said, "What?!?! You know this person!!! And he or she is COMING HERE!!!" he sputtered. "I need not remind you that this is a Dark Wizard capable of engineering a complex magical item........this person will be dangerous and would not walk into a situation like this unready for a fight!!!" he said, almost drawing his wand.

"Please elaborate...In the mean time...perhaps we should set a trap. As far as I can tell.....he/she does not know that we know who they are. We have the element of surprise!" he explained.

"Rex....any thought?" he asked.
