[Alex Zander]

Alex walked like a man on death row. He didn’t like this at all, and while he knew Professor Emerindyl would very likely believe him it didn’t mean that Alex was entirely sure he would get off scott-free either. He moved through the castle dragging his feet and thinking about what he would say. He spent a great deal of time trying to organise his words all the while smiling about it.

Unfortunately his smile’s must not have appeared as friendly as he thought. The first lot of people he came across, whom happened to be first year’s all squealed like girls and ran away from him. A strange thing as the group were all male.

He moved on a little more wondering how he could possibly get Henry back for what he had done. How could he be accused of doing things to the squi- er the librarian. He never misbehaved… much.

[Prof. Charlotte Mandelstein]

“Ah yea, Mr Zander, I think you can help me,” Professor Mandelstein was navigating her way down the corridor with pile after pile of books on herbology floating in front of her. She had thought when she left the library that perhaps she had attempted too much at once. Now that she was far from the library and still unable to take the right corridor’s to her office, she had realised she was right in thinking that it might be time to have someone travel in front of her while she focused on them.

She had seen Alex moving through the castle from a distance; more she had heard the squeals of… were they actually boy’s? Running from Alex? Surely not? She spied him approaching her and when she realised that if she didn’t stop him, his preoccupation would make her pile’s crumble dangerously. She had decided she would take a half time break on her little voyage at the Headmaster’s office. Alex would be able to assist her to that point, surely.

“If you don’t mind of course, unless you have somewhere else to be?” she smiled at him sensing that he did in fact have somewhere to be and knew that he wouldn’t mind either way.
