It has gotten a little better.

How is it for you now?

With the spells you taught me sir they have slowed their attacks.

*smiles with satisfaction* I'm glad to hear it.

Thank you for your help sir.

You are very welcome, Janus. You show talent. How did you do with your thestral project?

Full marks sir. *smiles proudly*

Severus also smiles proudly. This is Rabastan's son, after all. Someone should be proud of him. "Excellent! Again, I'm glad to hear it!"

Thank you sir. I am glad I wrote two copies there was an accident with the first.

What happened to it? I'll assume the accident was not your doing. *frowns at once, but not at Janus*

No, the student I was sitting with is always very clumsy and spilled ink all over it.

*his face clears* He's probably inattentive. How fortunate you were prudent.

I knew something might happen and planned ahead. His own paper however was ruined.

He is your friend?

He is...tolerable.

*sits down* "Which House is he?" *pauses* "Tell me, how do you get on with the Slytherins?"

He is a Ravenclaw. *smiles* They treat me as if I am a Slytherin and I earned that right.

*smiles* You know I am Head of Slytherin.

Yes sir I know.

*looks at him* As such, I have a rather pleasant surprise for you... I assume. I have talked to Dumbledore about your situation.

What did he say sir?

No student has ever been unhappy with their House before. He has agreed to speak with you and perhaps consider a re-sorting. *smiles almost proudly*

*sighs in relief* Thank you sir.
