Staffan listened closely, leaning against the wall just out of sight.
“I prefer proper gentlemen over meatheads, you know, ze ones who can actually carry an intelligent conversation beyond ze words Quaffle and Quidditch.” Moving into their line of sight, he leaned against the wall and smiled over at them.
"Forgive my intrusion, mesdemoiselles." He gave them both a bow, head tilting up with a smile. "I'm Staffan Thorvaldsson," He straightened up and moved a few steps towards them but kept his distance. "and I could not help overhearing some of your conversation. We Durmstrang men are more than just brute force, most of us can hold intelligent conversations. For instance, I speak several languages and have studied muggle philosophy, poetry, and verse." He moved closer to Cami, eyes sparkling. "Une femme est plus belle que le monde où je vis, et je ferme les yeux."
Translation = A woman is more beautiful than the world in which I live, and so I close my eyes.

“Moi? As if!”
And now it was Coco giving her a look that spoke volumes. Volumes about overstated negations to deceive oneself. But instead of saying anything in response, she just grinned like a Cheshire Cat.
“I prefer proper gentlemen over meatheads, you know, ze ones who can actually carry an intelligent conversation beyond ze words Quaffle and Quidditch.”
Coco was just going to say something when suddenly one of these honorably mentioned meatheads was leapfrogging her.
"Forgive my intrusion, mesdemoiselles."
She gave him a neutral look, one of those that often had been misread as either aversion or continuous discontent; at least one that could show him that she wasn't from this kind of girlies who became all gaga over a Durmstrang student.
"I'm Staffan Thorvaldsson,""and I could not help overhearing some of your conversation. We Durmstrang men are more than just brute force, most of us can hold intelligent conversations. For instance, I speak several languages and have studied muggle philosophy, poetry, and verse."
So what? Had they inadvertently lost some of their pheromones on their walk through the corridors? Eavesdropping their private talk and even using it for display? Coco hid the mental urge to vomit behind her neutral look.
When suddenly the guy stepped into Cami's private space, Coco's eyes wandered over to her to ascertain that her best friend wasn't feeling uncomfortable about this. She actually could be a protector of her bestie at times, though mostly inwardly, as nothing really had come to harm her yet. Not that Coco would see real harm in this anyway.

"Forgive my intrusion, mesdemoiselles."
Cami rolled her eyes at the sound of a boy interrupting their impromptu girl talk. Turning her head slowly, Cami caught sight of the culprit who had entered himself into their private conversation. Of course it iz one of them, Cami thought in her head with a slight eye roll that might have boldly been on physical display as well. Though, she couldn't have proven her point any more with this brute rudely insisting on carrying a conversation with them.
"I'm Staffan Thorvaldsson," "and I could not help overhearing some of your conversation. We Durmstrang men are more than just brute force, most of us can hold intelligent conversations. For instance, I speak several languages and have studied muggle philosophy, poetry, and verse."
Once Cami noticed Staffan coming in closer towards her, her doll eyes widened as she internally was having a mini freak out. Oh god, what iz he doing? Why iz he coming closer? As he came closer, within those few moments Cami began to study the boy. As he walked over to her with surprising grace, it was impossible not to notice his piercing green eyes that had set his sight on her. Cami felt as if she had fallen under an enchantment by that amusing grin of his that dripped with charm before he opened his lips once more to utter one of the most beautiful phrase Cami had ever heard come from the mouth of a Durmstrang.
"Une femme est plus belle que le monde où je vis, et je ferme les yeux."
Staffan's words in Cami's native tongue held her captive as her wary and pompous expression towards him changed drastically. Heart thudding rapidly against her chest, this kind of feeling was a whole new kind of magic than what her world was used to.
"...Zat was...magnifique..." A few moments under Staffan's spell, Cami forgot how to speak. Emotions arose within her that she hadn't felt before and the only thing she knew what to do with them was to roll with the moment until it was gone. But for now, somehow this Staffan managed to bewitch this headstrong woman with an element much more advanced than your typical witchcraft.

"...Zat was...magnifique..." Staffan lifted Cami's hand to his lips, placing a single kiss to her knuckle.
"Merci," He smiled and released her hand, "I do apologize for the display earlier in the chamber. I do like to make an entrance but they do get carried away, causing quite a scene." He looked over at Coco and gave her a smile, "I hope I am not interrupting an important chat, I hate to intrude."

At some point during this sudden soap opera (and she hated soap operas almost as much as licorice) right in front of her, Coco's facial features developed a life on its own. Well, they couldn't be serious, above all not her friend. "I hope I am not interrupting an important chat, I hate to intrude.", the Durmstrang boy suddenly addressed Coco. "I'm sure you do.", she gave back with a sarcastic tone. Ah well, what would be a conversation without sarcasm? Right, boooring. "But don't mind moi. Stage iz yours, pal.", she lastly added with a pat on his shoulder, noticing that he had quite a muscle add-on. But nope, too much of a princey for her taste. And besides, her best friend seemed to be all over the moon with him already, what was able to extract at least the ghost of a little smirk from her. As Coco knew when there was one too much, she nodded Cami a silent farewell by raising her hand to a salute gesture before leaving for any place with chocolate around. Oh gosh, what would be a place without chocolate? Unacceptable.
***Coco exits***

"Merci,"
Cami`s face was grinning so hard, her pink studded cheeks could have fallen right off. She grew completely smitten with the pretty boy in this moment as his lips gently made contact with the top of her dainty hand.
"I hope I am not interrupting an important chat, I hate to intrude."
Charming and a gentleman, Cami practically forgot that this man came from the very same school she reprimanded the behaviors of some of the other boys around the Hogwarts campus. She did not dare break eye contact from this perfect man before her, as she was afraid that he would fade away and that this whole scenario was nothing more than a mere daydream. That was, until Coco finally made herself beknown in the conversation once more, only to leave.
"But don't mind moi. Stage iz yours, pal."
Cami's eyes widened in a panic as she stared at her exiting friend, Don't you dare leave me with him! I'll kill you if you leave! were the words she attempted to telepathically speak with Coco as she saluted upon her farewell. Alas, Cami was not lucky enough to possess that sort of magnificent power and here she was, alone with one of the most beautiful humans she had ever laid her eyes upon. Her pleading eyes softened as they smiled back at Staffan, Cami`s voice breaking out into a nervous laugh which she shook off and managed to bring her composed self back to the conversation, "So...tell me, Staffan, where does a man of intelligence such as yourself 'ave a place amongst ze proud and obnoxious? You are not like ze rest." Cami cocked her head to the side, as she asked out of curiosity rather than prejudice.

"But don't mind moi. Stage iz yours, pal." The pat on his shoulder wasn't something he expected but he smirked as Coco took her leave. Causing Cami's eyes to widened, which probably meant she was nervous. Staffan might have been a prince but he was no dog, he would not take advantage of Cami or make her feel uncomfortable.
"So...tell me, Staffan, where does a man of intelligence such as yourself 'ave a place amongst ze proud and obnoxious? You are not like ze rest." He laughed at her words, not at her and let a smile escape him.
"I am the youngest of seven brothers, I had a lot to prove. I watched them grow into strong wizards and warriors, hoping one day I would join them. Durmstrang has prepared me for many things, what you see here is a display of strength. Most of my brothers are all about intimidation, it is a tactic that has worked among us boy and men. But to answer your question, I'm here because it is tradition and my family is all about tradition." He tilted his head to the side, smiling at her. "What brought you to Beauxbatons?"

"I am the youngest of seven brothers, I had a lot to prove. I watched them grow into strong wizards and warriors, hoping one day I would join them. Durmstrang has prepared me for many things, what you see here is a display of strength. Most of my brothers are all about intimidation, it is a tactic that has worked among us boy and men. But to answer your question, I'm here because it is tradition and my family is all about tradition."
Upholding tradition was something that Cami could respect although she didn't necessarily agree with everything the Durmstrang tradition may stand for. Yet he appeared both noble and grateful of all that Durmstrang had done for him, and to Cami that was rather humbling as she could relate to that in her own life.
"What brought you to Beauxbatons?"
"It iz known zat Beauxbatons fine education has led some of ze grandest witches and wizards of our time onto paths of success like no other, and when I received acceptance into ze school my parents knew zey had to give me my best chance at life," Cami beamed with reminiscence as she spoke out of sincerity, "Ze academy has changed my life, and I will forever owe a debt of thanks to my parents for allowing it to happen...zat, and anyone who could resist attending school in ze most beautiful palace would be crazy," Cami scrunched her button nose as her warm smile broke out into a light giggle. She was proud to belong to Beauxbatons, and if she was lucky enough to win the Triwizard tournament then she could perhaps pay some of her debt of gratitude to her parents for giving her a good life. But first she would have to be lucky enough for her name to be drawn from the cup.

Staffan smiled, he could also appreciate the simpler appreciations. "Without my parents, I would not be here. My father gave me my sense of dedication but it was my mother who instilled strength within me." If he were to say that back home, his brothers would have teased the crap out of him. "If your name is drawn, I will no doubt be rooting for you." Staffan smirked and took her hand back in his hand. "However, if my name were to be drawn as well- I forsee some friendly competition?" He kissed her hand and grinned.

"If your name is drawn, I will no doubt be rooting for you."
Cami's grin glowed brightly from ear to ear as her hand was gently scooped up into Staffan's once more.
"However, if my name were to be drawn as well- I forsee some friendly competition?"
Cami's eyes sparkled at the sight of this suave gentleman as he kissed the top of her hand once more. They had only just met, yet this man of class had seemed to capture her heart. He appeared perfect in every way - and for that, Cami was smart enough to not release her heart from it's cage just yet. She knew that this debonair of a gentleman could break her heart just as fast as he could release it from it's confinements. Cami knew she had to keep her focus on the main mission at hand, no distractions.
"A little friendly competition never hurt anyone, though I will warn you, Staffan,..." Cami leaned in slightly as if she was about to let Staffan in on a little secret, "...this Beauxbaton has a bit of a spark in her. I hope you can handle it." With a playful wink, Cami slowly began break away from their tightly knit conversation as she slipped her hands out from his.
"Cami iz my name, if you`ll be listening for it at ze ceremony. Oh...and good luck." Cami flashed one last smile as backed away a few steps, still engaged in conversation with Staffan. After bidding her future opponent good wishes, she turned away fully as she excused herself and with an excited hop in her feet did she travel down the hall like the giddy school girl she had suddenly become.

"A little friendly competition never hurt anyone, though I will warn you, Staffan,...this Beauxbaton has a bit of a spark in her. I hope you can handle it." Staffan was sure he could handle anything that Cami could throw at him, or maybe she would end up surprising him? He was looking forward to seeing what she had to offer, perhaps she would make any Viking woman proud.
"I'm sure you will no doubt surprise me..." He grinned.
"Cami iz my name, if you`ll be listening for it at ze ceremony. Oh...and good luck." Staffan waved goodbye and watched her go, he would certainly listen for her name.

*** Draco enters from Professor Boyle's Office ***
Draco's polished dress shoes squeaked slightly as he brought his feet to a halt. Bracing himself, he cautiously looked left and then right before running his fingertips through his blonde head of hair to compose his appearance to a more casual outlook and proceeding into the merging corridor. Draco's black trench coat fluttered open momentarily as he rounded the corner, exposing the mysterious emptied vile he had collected from Boyle's office as evidence against the man chalked with cryptic behavior. Before Draco could utter any sort of hope to catch as much distance between himself and the tampered entrance to Professor Boyle's office as possible before any lingering students or faculty caught him, the very man he was trying to prove guilty stood right before him. Draco froze before Boyle momentarily before his eyes narrowed into a glare at the impostor. A sly smirk crept along his chin as he was about to trap a sneaky, sly fox.
"Oh, good day Boyle. Or is there another name I could call you by?" Draco acted impulsively as he reached into his coat to bring the emptied vile in between where the two men stood across from one another, it's remnants caressing the bottom of the vile as it moved from one emptied end to another as Draco waved it furiously.

*** Severus enters from Divination Class ***
Already fairly annoyed by the last encounter, which had been with that Ravenclaw boy with his odd way of talking, Severus was anything but pleased with the upcoming, especially because that person was aware of his true identity - if he ever would be finding out that this was even possible, that was. Severus had to be like really careful with Draco Malfoy though, because he already seemed to have attracted too much attention to himself. Also, he was very sure that there was a reason the young man was hanging around so close to his office.
"Mr. Malfoy.", was the only thing Severus said as they had almost run into each other, not without a visible raising of his eyebrow. This was his territory, never mind how suspicious this member of the Governors, or however they were calling themselves, was.
"Oh, good day Boyle. Or is there another name I could call you by?"
Severus tried to not show any emotion upon his face, actually a well-elaborated ability of his own. "What's that suppose to mean?", he asked, maybe a little too harsh to sound like really being surprised though. And then, when he faced the object in Draco's hand, there was a moment that shock could be seen on his face, even though he was wearing glasses. With the shock quickly changing into anger, Severus went into attacking mode, not in an aggressive way though, instead of just defending himself. "Is it common for you people to pry around other people's private stuff?"

"What's that suppose to mean?" "Is it common for you people to pry around other people's private stuff?"
"I'll pry if the lives of both my boys are put at risk by a stranger lurking the corridors," Draco let out a huff of disgust as he shook his head in disbelief. If Draco's assumptions were correct, this man was now trapped and Draco was not going to let him slip out of his grasp so easily this time. Baffled by this imposter's attempt to justify his actions, Draco looked at the vile as to inspect it further right in front of Boyle, "I recognize the remnants of this potion by a long shot. Being silly kids, growing up, we'd fiddle around with a controversial brew. One that could morph someone's appearance in to another...," Draco's eyes shifted from the vile and in Boyle's direction, "I guess being a silly kid paid off. No more excuses, I've caught you red handed...who are you?" Draco took a few confrontational steps towards the professor, cornering him against the stoned castle wall.

"I'll pry if the lives of both my boys are put at risk by a stranger lurking the corridors,"
Severus replied to the huff with one of his own. That was like a really bad justification in his eyes, especially because he was sure there was something more self-interested as for Draco's snooping than just the safety of his boys.
"I recognize the remnants of this potion by a long shot." Severus gave him a rather unimpressed look. Draco was still not able to prove anything with just this vial in his hands. "Being silly kids, growing up, we'd fiddle around with a controversial brew. One that could morph someone's appearance in to another...,""I guess being a silly kid paid off. No more excuses, I've caught you red handed...who are you?"
"So, do I get it right that you're making conclusions me being someone else... because... you found this vial in my office?", he made Draco wonder, playing the one who was in full control of the situation by making it sound as ridiculous as he could. Then his lips even curled into a mocking smile. "So then, Congratulations, Mr. Malfoy. You just have debunked the next project for my potions class. As for the question who I am... I am Professor Boyle and am teaching potions at this school... just in case you couldn't tell by the plate hanging up on my door."

Even fully lit, the corridors in Hogwarts had a tendency to gather shadows. The "muggle" word for their nature would likely be non-euclidian-- the geometry of the place didn't add up at all. "Verdammte Magie,' the vampire thought as the musing wisped through his mind. Regardless, the castle's hallways were ridiculously easy to go unseen in, especially if one tended to vanish altogether in shadow, and Rothven was taking advantage of this fact as he worked on getting his bearings among the staff. He'd only come in just the previous night-- invited by the Headmaster as a guest lecturer on supernatural creatures and diseases-- and needed to understand the dynamics of the school. The palpably tense scene before him presented an opportunity to introduce himself while preventing possible open conflict. A "win-win" as the Brits put it.
He stepped out of the inexplicably shadowed corner on silent footfalls. No shadow preceded him, but the air around him was noticeably chill, "Good morning, professors," his Bavarian accent softening the consonants, accentuating vowels into a Germanic drawl, "Forgive the interruption. I am Dr. Ruthven Trocar. Just got in last night. I'm here as a guest lecturer. I gather you are Professors Boyle and Malfoy?"

"So then, Congratulations, Mr. Malfoy. You just have debunked the next project for my potions class. As for the question who I am... I am Professor Boyle and am teaching potions at this school... just in case you couldn't tell by the plate hanging up on my door."
Draco smirked, this man was good with his words. Conniving and straight to the point and if Draco didn't know any better, he'd be convinced and would apologize for his rash behavior. This professor was smart, but Draco strived to be two steps ahead and he wasn't about to back down. This con in disguise was going to go down and Draco was prepared to take him to the depths until Callum and Scorpius's safety was guaranteed.
"Your project here looks empty, as if someone used it for more than just academic purposes. I've got friends in the Ministry, you know. I could have you and your project investigated inside and out. Don't underestimate me," Draco remained composed yet he spoke with distaste in his mouth as he glared at the man hiding behind the shades, "A name plate on a door means nothing. You're nothing...nothing but a disgrace to not only this school but to the potions master who once stood in your title. He was more of a man than you'll ever be." Draco allowed his head to conform to a displeasing slow shake from left to right as he judged Boyle intensely.
"Good morning, professors,""Forgive the interruption. I am Dr. Ruthven Trocar. Just got in last night. I'm here as a guest lecturer. I gather you are Professors Boyle and Malfoy?"
Draco jumped in his skin as the intruding voice broke the striking tension between him and Boyle. "Yes, that's correct," Draco began to stand down from his confrontation to make a friendly introduction to the newcomer, "I am Draco Malfoy, one of the governors of Hogwarts. I do apologize - I appeared to have missed the memo on your arrival. Hogwarts has been an absolute madhouse with the Tournament and the other schools visiting...what are you hosting a lecture on, might I ask?" Draco extended his hand out in front of him to shake Dr. Trocar's hand.

Rothven smiled inwardly at Malfoy's startle, and accepted the proffered hand. His grip put Draco to mind of iron in winter-- hard, strong, icy cold. "Not a professor, then. Apologies. I'm still getting the "hang" of British academic honorifics." At the touch of Draco's hand, Ruthven instinctually keyed in on his pulse. Strong and quick, but steady. Mr. Malfoy had admirable personal control, but there was an edge just under the surface. Dr. Trocar filed this away for later reference.
"I am speaking on the history and nature of magical diseases-- lycanthropy, Lampington's Disease, MacGregor's Syndrome," a momentary pause, small smile revealing the tip of a tapered canine, "Vampirism."

"Your project here looks empty, as if someone used it for more than just academic purposes. I've got friends in the Ministry, you know. I could have you and your project investigated inside and out. Don't underestimate me,"
"Mr. Malfoy... have you ever heard of practical application as part of the curriculum? And if so, would you like to tell me please how that shall be accomplished with vials kept under lock and key?", Severus countered with more flouting and a sneer around his lips. As much as Draco was annoying him right now, he actually was feeling some kind of proudness about the man he had become. He seemed to no longer dread taking any action to protect his family, although Severus still had a feeling that there was more behind it.
Severus was just about to follow his looks towards a spot in the shadows, as he was addressed once more. "A name plate on a door means nothing. You're nothing... nothing but a disgrace to not only this school but to the potions master who once stood in your title. He was more of a man than you'll ever be."
For a moment, Severus was not sure what to think or say, like feeling insulted and honored at the same time. Could it be that Severus Snape was not as unknown as he thought he'd be? If this whole situation wasn't just so intricate, he might even have come up with a smile at that. The moment to react in any way vanished though when suddenly someone else was speaking up to both of them.
"Good morning, professors,""Forgive the interruption. I am Dr. Ruthven Trocar. Just got in last night. I'm here as a guest lecturer. I gather you are Professors Boyle and Malfoy?"
Just perfect. Could people please stop meeting up around him?
"Yes, that's correct,""I am Draco Malfoy, one of the governors of Hogwarts. I do apologize - I appeared to have missed the memo on your arrival. Hogwarts has been an absolute madhouse with the Tournament and the other schools visiting...what are you hosting a lecture on, might I ask?"
Severus was tired of words, so he reacted with no more than a very slight nod of his head.
"Not a professor, then. Apologies. I'm still getting the "hang" of British academic honorifics.""I am speaking on the history and nature of magical diseases-- lycanthropy, Lampington's Disease, MacGregor's Syndrome,""Vampirism."
Okay, he really had no time for this. "Now, if you'll excuse me...", Severus interrupted at some point, greatly annoyed by now, about to just leave to his office.

Well, then. Professor Boyle warranted further investigation. Especially with the familiarity of his scent. Just on the edge of smell. Something of a legacy scent. Wizards. The vampire filed it away for later examination. Ruthven shook off the train of thought, but still hadn't blinked. He instead returned his attention to Malfoy, "I understand you stand in an unbroken line of Hogwarts alumni. Perhaps you can bring me up to speed on what the students know about magical ailments?"

"Now, if you'll excuse me...",
Oh no, Draco thought sourly to himself all the while keeping a professional attitude for their guest speaker, He's not about to get off the hook so easily. The nerve of Boyle, first denying the evidence of his little impostor act that lay before his shaded glasses and now trying to pull a fast one and slide his way out of the confrontation.
"I understand you stand in an unbroken line of Hogwarts alumni. Perhaps you can bring me up to speed on what the students know about magical ailments?"
"Actually," Draco still grinned widely, yet his tension filled chuckle spoke otherwise. He clapped his hand down on Boyle's shoulder, who had slid past him in a pitiful attempt to sneak away from their conversation, "I merely not know much about the depth of the school curriculum, as my specialty is geared towards the operations of Hogwarts. However," Draco turned his head slightly as he glared at Boyle from the side as a slight sneer enveloped his face, "That would be more of a question for Professor Boyle here as he is very well versed on what the children know. So, what does Mr. Trocar need to know, Professor?" Spouting the last word of the question rather smugly, Draco offered Boyle's services against his own will. He didn't care of this poser had actually studied his material and knew what the students were learning or if he was simply a dumb fool, entrapping Boyle in vulnerable situations would only be the beginning of Malfoy's wrath.

Actually,"
For a very short moment, Severus had been in the belief that he'd made it off the hook until he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder. He paused, looking down at the hand as he, once again, suppressed to give voice to his annoyance.
"I merely not know much about the depth of the school curriculum, as my specialty is geared towards the operations of Hogwarts. However,"
Severus had an idea that he would be thrown into this conversation at some point, probably just to not be allowed his retreat. Oh, how much he would like to grab Draco by the collar of his cloak and show him who actually held the whip hand - like in his good old days of teaching without needing a mask. But of course, he didn't. There was too much at stake to risk just a clue about who he really was. And so Severus looked back at Draco Malfoy, replying his sneer with rigidity.
"That would be more of a question for Professor Boyle here as he is very well versed on what the children know. So, what does Mr. Trocar need to know, Professor?"
"Actually... versed on what the children know about potions, Mr. Malfoy. If you allow me to state," he added in quite a haughty tone. "To me, Mr. Trocar's professional discipline makes it sound like this rather would be a question for the professor of defense against the dark arts." And for once, Severus was glad that he wasn't. Also, now he couldn't suppress his lips to slightly curl upwards. Anyways, never mind who would be winning this little fight between them, both of them should be aware of this was only the beginning. Draco obviously knew that something wasn't quite right with the professor he pretended to be, just as he knew that Severus was aware of the fact that Draco was on the track of him. This was not good.

"Actually... versed on what the children know about potions, Mr. Malfoy. If you allow me to state," "To me, Mr. Trocar's professional discipline makes it sound like this rather would be a question for the professor of defense against the dark arts."
Draco smiled to himself as a sarcastic inward chuckle rose within his chest silent enough for the two other men present to not register his internal reaction that ensued. "Well," Draco's grinning gaze froze on Boyle, appearing to be in astonishment that was masking mockery, "Like I said. What do I know, right?" Draco shrugged his hands at his sides, allowing Boyle to pass the ball back into his court, "I'll pass the message along to our Defense professor and have the professor contact you with further information," Draco extended his hand to shake Mr. Trocar's once more, this time in a brief farewell, "We hope your stay is comfortable, Mr. Trocar, and if you need anything. Please ask. Farewell for now," Making direct eye contact with the pale, slim man did Draco flash a smile and nod in Mr. Trocar's direction before the school's guest continued to make his way down the hall.
Draco and Boyle watched Trocar exit their presence, and once the man was no longer in earshot, the showman smile on Draco's face melded into a sneer faster than one could say Quidditch as he turned his attention back onto Professor Boyle. "I don't know who you are, or what you want. But be rest assured, I will find out. Until then, both of my boys will both be pulled out of your Potions classes, I will make sure of it." Draco spoke as of matter-of-factly before going silent, waiting to see if Professor Impostor had any last words to defend himself with - or to own up to.

"Well,"
Although feeling like he'd be in the lead with his last strike, a well never meant something good, even though he wasn't able to see Draco's grinning gaze from behind his dark glasses, not even with the lent eyesight from Professor Benjamin Boyle who was, right this moment, held captive somewhere only Severus knew where that was.
"Like I said. What do I know, right?" Well, it could be said this was leading to a tie. That was okay for now. "I'll pass the message along to our Defense professor and have the professor contact you with further information,", Draco then turned his attention back at Mr. Trocar. And while he shook his hand once more to say his farewell, Severus just stood in place, motionless. He didn't care for his reputation or rather the reputation of Benjamin Boyle. "We hope your stay is comfortable, Mr. Trocar, and if you need anything. Please ask. Farewell for now,"
After the pale, slim man had continued to make his way down the hall, Severus could only hope that Draco would do the same. But, as expected, he didn't. Instead, his complacent sneer was darting right over at him.
"I don't know who you are, or what you want. But be rest assured, I will find out. Until then, both of my boys will both be pulled out of your Potions classes, I will make sure of it."
"Isn't that a little overdramatic, Mr. Malfoy? But sure," he added with one short raising of his lips. "Do as you want, but... don't blame me when your boys will not pass their exams. At least one of them... isn't so far away from his next, am I right?", Severus added as he sent a sneer to the other one himself before making his way past him. "Good day, Mr. Malfoy."
And back to leading...
*** Severus exits to Benjamin Boyle's Office ***

"Isn't that a little overdramatic, Mr. Malfoy? But sure," "Do as you want, but... don't blame me when your boys will not pass their exams. At least one of them... isn't so far away from his next, am I right?""Good day, Mr. Malfoy."
Draco allowed his opponent to insert the last word before letting him walk off into the depths of the castle. Draco snickered lightly to himself, amused by the Professor's remark. Over dramatic? Draco's pending actions were a mere scrape compared to what his father, Lucius had done back in the day. Of course, he never amounted to be anything close to his cowardly father. But he was a Malfoy after all and couldn't possibly help if a bit of drama ran through his veins. Though, Draco couldn't help but to address the fact that there was something about this Boyle character that felt familiar to him. Most people hardly knew how to handle Draco and his family, yet this man seemed to know what made him tick. While Ogden was away, Draco would sleuth his way through the castle to get to the bottom of who this man really was, even if he had to turn every classroom upside down himself.
