Well, Mr. Boyle didn’t act like Sirius expected him to do. Instead of rebuking him for interrupting his speech to Mr. Malfoy, Professor Boyle simply ignored him. Great! So now he had to attend this family affair.
"Clearly you are new around here, sir. In case you weren't aware, my family has quite the legacy around here. And my father is very valuable to the operations of this school. I'm sure word has already reached him that his son is being mistreated by his new professor. Only a matter of time now before he bursts through the door to reprimand you for your actions." That boy really had a big mouth and he seemed to be sure his daddy will rescue him. Although Sirius didn’t like Boyle he hoped it wouldn’t work that way. He didn’t know why young Mr. Malfoy was summoned before the Professor, but it seemed that the boy didn’t act well to other students. If he would get away with that just because of his father – a valuable man – wishes so, it wouldn’t be fair.
After all Boyle showed another unexpected reaction. Barely one expected that the Professor would pound his hands on the table. Some of the other sheep to the slaughter were scared-looking.
"And... as expected... the words my family and my father are dominating your treasury of words. Remarkable." Boyle also gave proof of his sarcasm and his calm. Better this way than indulging the boy’s arguments. Otherwise he perhaps would vent his anger on the other students around – especially on that one who was too late...
Suddenly Sirius got an idea – not his best to be honest. He wanted to seize the moment to leave Mr. Boyle’s office. The Professor was busy with young Mr. Malfoy. So Sirius sneaked back to the door, this time gritting his teeth to ignore Corvus‘ reminding claws, and reached out his hand to the door handle – at the very moment when somebody else was doing so from the other side...

When Draco had heard the news from his fellow collegue that his son Scorpius had landed himself a spot in detention on the first day, he nearly shot through the roof. Callum in detention would perhaps be more expected, especially since Draco had witnessed such an outspoken disbehavior from him earlier that day. But Scorpius knew better, or so Draco thought. The fear of one of his own sons developing the very same spoiled rotten image that Draco himself regrettably portrayed through his schooling years ate away at Draco with ever step closer he took to Boyle's office. He thought he raised his boys better than this, what was going on with the Malfoy spawn? Draco knew he had to get to the bottom of his outrageous behavior from both of his sons, starting this moment with the youngest one.
Approaching the door to Boyle's office, Draco composed himself as he took a moment to clear his throat. Reaching down to the doorknob, he turned the door and opened it. To his surprise, a student stood before him at the entrance, looking to make her escape from the sticky situation. "You've sure got your students under good wraps here, Boyle. This one here is looking for an escape from her punishment," Draco escorted the student back into the office, closing the door behind him.

Scorpius's scowling head whipped around to the door of the office where he had heard the familiar voice of his own father. Wincing out of embrassement that his father had found him in this situation, Scorpius knew that his father would arrive to take care of the matter at hand. Too easy... Scorpius thought to himself proudly as he looked back at his professor with the most smug grin. Little did Scorpius know that wasn't going to be the case.

It was the very moment the other student, that one, getting deeper and deeper into a mess, touched the doorknob from inside, when Severus' eyes darted over at the door, suddenly meeting with Malfoy senior's not long after. Speaking of the devil...
"You've sure got your students under good wraps here, Boyle. This one here is looking for an escape from her punishment,"
The professor's eyes rolled behind dark glasses. "My most profound thanks to you, Malfoy.", he snapped back at the unbidden intruder, making sure to emphasize his name in exactly the same way and without a preceding title as well, before turning his head to the younger Malfoy and answering his nauseating smug grin with a look saying Don't start celebrating just yet. The female student, who had tried to escape his clutches, was spared from another punishment (that he would make happen for sure) for the time being.
"So... is there something I can do for you?", Severus addressed senior Malfoy once again, speaking up as calmly as he could, even though this attempt was ending in a rather menacing tone. "Or would you mind leaving me to my business here?" The last was not exactly meant as a question.

"So... is there something I can do for you?", "Or would you mind leaving me to my business here?"
Draco chuckled in a slightly scoffed manner, yet he kept his cool in front of the students as he stood firmly. The new professor at the school was really good at playing this game of hard ball, yet Draco wasn't about to back down. Not this time.
"With all due respect, Mr. Boyle, I do believe my business is in this very room," Draco assertively spoke as he threw a questionable glance over in the direction of his son, Scorpius, who appeared to be somewhat relieved of his father's sudden appearance, "Now what has my son done to deserve a spot in your line up of delinquents? Surely there is some sort of misunderstanding." Draco said rather innocently, and although there for his last born, he was slightly amused that his presance seemed to have gotten under Boyle's skin.

"With all due respect, Mr. Boyle, I do believe my business is in this very room,"
And what on earth makes you think so?, was what Severus wanted to respond, but didn't, as he managed to bite his inner tongue at the very last moment before the other spoke up again. Maybe it wasn't wise to tangle with one of Hogwarts' apparently important personalities. Just it was hard to not see the conceited little boy his opposite once had been; a boy Severus had, in the end, managed to get under his wing. But then again, it hasn't changed a lot except their age and a slight redistribution of their roles.
"Now what has my son done to deserve a spot in your line up of delinquents? Surely there is some sort of misunderstanding."
Severus' eyes darted over at the young Malfoy again for one little moment, before he served with an answer to Draco's question. "Maybe a measure of precaution... but assuredly not a misunderstanding. Words... can be followed up with actions, when you don't take care of them sufficiently early. We don't want any student to go astray, do we?" He leaned a little forward, still standing in front of his desk, before he added some more words with a slight hint of amusement. "All the more... not a Malfoy."

"Damn!", slipped out of his mouth when the stranger opened the door and looked at him. Untimely. Why the hell did Ol’ Mr. Malfoy appear right now?! "You've sure got your students under good wraps here, Boyle. This one here is looking for an escape from her punishment." There was nothing else to do than aligning himself with the other students again.
Corvus tweaked him into his ear. I told you, didn't I! Oh no, come on! Seemed like it would become almost routine. "Yeah, I know! Touché!", he whispered to his Raven.
Sirius just listened desultory to the conversation between Professor Boyle and Mr. Malfoy. For a moment he lost himself in thoughts: Would HIS father also get him out of trouble because of his fame? In truth he will never get to know about this because his father was no longer among the living men.
So now he had to wait until Boyle and the Malfoys finished their little family affair and that the Professor decided to punish the other ones. A black outlook.

"Maybe a measure of precaution... but assuredly not a misunderstanding. Words... can be followed up with actions, when you don't take care of them sufficiently early. We don't want any student to go astray, do we?" "All the more... not a Malfoy."
Scorpius was ripe with annoyance at this teacher's attempt to scold him as the smug grin that he once sported slowly vanished. Rolling his eyes, he scoffed at the words that came from Boyle. Scorpius didn't know who he thought this teacher was, but there would be no victory for him as Scorpius knew that the Malfoys always had their way. Or so he thought, while being too busy trying to live up to his father's own controversial image from way back when.
"I'm going astray? Please," Scorpius tisked as he dug his thumb into his chest, going about being a prat for Boyle and Draco to witness, "It's that Muggle born Gryffindor that started all this. Got me in trouble. She should be here instead of me..." Scorpius pointed at the door as he whined like a spoilt brat simply not getting his way, before a "stupid mudblood," escaped his lowly muttering lips, but clearly not low enough.

Draco hung back calmly as Boyle explained a brief reasoning for Scorpius's pressure in his office. And if Scorpius did truly break the school rules badly enough to land himself in punishment cornet, then there was nothing for Draco to do but to abide by the teacher's decision. Draco and his family were a figure head family of the school after all, and Draco thought it was his duty to set a good example as a member of the board of governors. Draco was about to make this known to Boyle, until his son was quick to answer.
The words that came out of Scorpius's mouth were vile and out of line. Draco fumed with embarrassment and anger as he stared down Scorpius as his son muttered two last little words. Words that Draco hadn't heard of in years to come. Words that brought back painful memories of how things used to be. How Draco thought things had to be.
"I brought you up a respectable young man, and never have you once heard me utter such discrimatory profanities. And you never will again, my son," Draco shook his head slowly from side to side as he walked directly up to his son, "Mr. Boyle has every right to punish your actions. You respect him and and take your punishment with grace as a Malfoy should." Draco then turned his apologetic gaze to Mr. Boyle, "Excuse me, Mr. Boyle, " and with an embarrassd nod, Draco ducked out of the office, allowing Boyle to complete his duty.
Outside the office, Draco stood slightly stunned. Where did he go wrong with his boys? He simply couldn't deal with his bratty boys right now, he had work to do. First things first, find out more about the situation with the older "new" student that Marius is keeping under close wraps. Draco would make sure that this poor girl was getting the upmost Hogwarts care needed, but he had to try and find more about her situation first. Time for some digging.

Severus intently watched the young Malfoy behind dark glasses, as the boy was spouting yet another storm of flagrancy. And then this disyllabic word ending his explication. His head, formerly had been only half-turned into Scorpius' direction, now literally darted over at him. He was just about to comment on the boy's vocabulary, pretty much reminding him on his father's erstwhile behavior, when just that was the one who kept him from doing so; in fact, Draco simply outpaced him.
Severus leaned back a little, even slowly taking a seat again, while he watched father and son having a conversation on their own, or more precisely, a rebuke from parent to child. This family affair right in front of him wasn't his problem, thank goodness, but for a moment he was truly impressed of what had become of the complacent little boy with the tight gelled hair. In the end, he, as well, seemed to have understood what really mattered. Anyways, Severus hoped they would move this to a different place at least.
"Excuse me, Mr. Boyle,", eventually Draco addressed him again, getting no more than a slight nod from his former, nowadays disguised, professor in Potions, before leaving the office with no more objections about Severus' disciplinary corrective methods.
"Now... where were we?", he spoke up again slowly, using the moment to refill his lowering Boyle-shake level, once the door clicked shut. Ugh, would one ever get used to this?
It was following some more threatening words and a clear warning that he would make this a weekly, and if god-awfully needed, a daily procedure if any of them was going to piss him off one more time.
It actually wouldn't become a weekly but instead a non-regular, yet consistently recurring lecture during the next couple of months; something Severus, admittedly, started to enjoy in some way. And it was no surprise some of these students would become regular visitors on those meetings.

Nearly two months have passed.
Yesterday, October 30th, the delegates from the other schools had arrived for the Triwizard Tournament and a celebration feast was held in the Great Hall where the Goblet of Fire and Triwizard Cup were presented.
Today, October 31st, 2017, the Goblet of Fire remains available in the Chamber of Reception for interested participants to drop in a parchment with their name until the Hallowe'en Feast tonight.

The Levitating Quills didn’t play their new song for Dray last evening. Sherlock told the others that it wouldn’t feel right because one of the two Hogwarts champions didn’t feel comfortable with her nomination. So they decided to keep it if – no, until – Dray’s and Morgana’s win.
The young man and his house mate also agreed upon a meeting this morning before the students went to Hogsmeade. He and Morgana wanted to talk to Professor Boyle. Maybe he knew how it could happen that Morgana seemed to throw her name into the Goblet of Fire without remembering it.
Now they stood right in front of the door to the teacher’s office. Sherlock looked over his shoulder back to Morgana. "So, take a deep breathe. You know that Professor Boyle doesn’t really like to be disturbed by students. But don’t be nervous. I stand beside you," he said with a steady voice. He also gave her a last short smile, hoping that it would bolster her up, before he knocked at Professor Boyle’s door. "Professor, are you in there? We need to talk to you, please!"

Severus was angry, annoyed and frustrated, all at the same time. It had been like only just that he'd come up with high expectations to be able to make use of the time almost everyone, teachers and students, would be occupied with the Triwizard tournament, when one little conversation with the headmaster this morning had nipped just that expectations in the bud. The good news of their conversation? That would be him heading the champions of the tournament. Not only was that a job he'd never asked for, but it also was taking away from him all opportunity to sneak around the empty halls of Hogwarts.
Just what would make this morning even more perfect, also sarcastically meant of course, were some students knocking on his door to talk to him.
"Professor, are you in there? We need to talk to you, please!"
Severus' eyes rolled so intensely that it was almost a miracle that they positioned back to their normal state. He knocked down the rest of his Boyle shake, not without the routinely gagging, before finally answering the knock. "Come in."

"So, take a deep breathe. You know that Professor Boyle doesn’t really like to be disturbed by students. But don’t be nervous. I stand beside you,"
Morgana still felt just as uneasy this morning when she woke up. She wasn't so sure why she thought sleeping the events from yesterday off would make her feel any different about it all today. The thought was nothing more of a false hope as Morgana nodded at her good friend Sherlock, who was now knocking on Professor Boyle's door. She didn't know what she did to deserve a good friend like Sherlock, but she was thankful to have at least someone on her side.
"Professor, are you in there? We need to talk to you, please!"
"Come in."
Morgana had almost hoped that Boyle wasn't at his office, and that she could just tuck the whole tournament under the rug and forget about it for another rainy day. Yet, whether she liked it or not, her name was chosen. She was in the tournament. And her life was at risk. So Morgana winced slightly when the professor's voice traveled through the door loud enough for the two kids to hear him inviting them inside.
Pushing the door open, Morgana and Sherlock stepped forward in the direction of Professor Boyle. She knew that Sherlock was a generous enough guy that would have done all the talking if she had let him. But they were here because of Morgana and her dire situation so she opened her mouth to speak first.
"Thank you for seeing us, Professor," Morgana bowed her head in thanks before proceeding, "Our reason for coming to you is because...well, we think the Triwizard Tournament is rigged. Again." Morgana admitted nervously. She wasn't sure if Boyle was going to believe her or not, but they at least had to try and get to the bottom of the dilemma.

"Come in." Professor Boyle was in his office. Good. The two students entered.
Before Sherlock could start to explain their problem Morgana raised her voice. The young man promised her to help and so he would. He would have made the conversation for her. But he also respected her will to speak for herself. "Thank you for seeing us, Professor," She even bowed her head in front of the Professor. Sherlock liked her well-behaved manner. He also gave a short nod in Boyle’s direction. "Our reason for coming to you is because...well, we think the Triwizard Tournament is rigged. Again." It was obvious that Morgana was nervous. So he decided to help her out and joining the conversation after all.
"We had to start from the beginning. As you surely have heard Miss Parkinson was picked to be one of Hogwart’s Tri-Wizard-Champions. But she told me plausible that she didn’t put her name into the Goblet of Fire. And I remember that she wasn’t feeling well that day." Sherlock paused for a moment and glimpsed at Morgana. He was trying to soothe her just with his facial impressions. His eyes seemed to say 'Don’t worry, everything will be okay. I’ll solve this problem.' Then he continued his explanation to Professor Boyle. "Miss Parkinson also told me that it had been you who found her and who took her to the Infirmary. Do you remember that day?" It was just a rhetorical question. Of course, he would remember. "When I first heard this story two things came to my mind: Poison or a curse. What do you think? Could it be possible?"

Severus was already greatly annoyed yet remained as neutral as he could, waiting for the two students to voice their concern. To his surprise, it was Morgana who spoke up first. Actually, her usual taciturnity was another fact of why she belonged to his favorite students in Hogwarts nowadays. Sure, every teacher claimed to not have something like a favorite student, but they all had.
"Thank you for seeing us, Professor,""Our reason for coming to you is because...well, we think the Triwizard Tournament is rigged. Again."
Severus actually believed her right away, although the first thought that had come to his mind was that why of all years it had to be rigged this year again? It was only the second thought then that made him wonder who would want to make an inconspicuous girl just like Morgana part of the Tournament and above all why.
"We had to start from the beginning. As you surely have heard Miss Parkinson was picked to be one of Hogwart’s Tri-Wizard-Champions. But she told me plausible that she didn’t put her name into the Goblet of Fire. And I remember that she wasn’t feeling well that day." Severus already knew this story which added to his annoyance actually, but as annoyed as he was, this whole case couldn't be ignored. "Miss Parkinson also told me that it had been you who found her and who took her to the Infirmary. Do you remember that day?""When I first heard this story two things came to my mind: Poison or a curse. What do you think? Could it be possible?"
Before launching into any answer, Severus took the time to cork the empty vial that still remained in his hands. Then he finally turned his attention to primarily Morgana to start with a question for his part. "Have you talked to any suspicious-looking person lately?" Maybe that was an odd question coming from a man who was wearing sunglasses while they were sitting in a dimly lit office.

"When I first heard this story two things came to my mind: Poison or a curse. What do you think? Could it be possible?"
Morgana's gaze as been stuck on Boyle the whole meeting thus far, as she anticipated what his reaction could possibly be. Or even if his professor was going to take their allegation report seriously. Yet, to Morgana's surprise the professor appeared to take interest in what they had to say as he chimed in with a question himself.
"Have you talked to any suspicious-looking person lately?"
Morgana's eyes dropped to the floor as she crossed her arms and raised a single finger to her lips in thought. Her brow furrowed as she tried really hard to concentrate on recalling what she could best remember from the fuzzy memory. "Not that I can recall...," But then Morgana did remember something. Someone, actually. "Wait...I do remember something. In the Ravenclaw common room, I was battling nerves and a boy offered me a cup of tea. As it seemed to be a harmless gesture, I accepted his offer and drank the whole cup." Morgana's face turned white as a ghost at this realization, her eyes growing wide. To think that she was targeted in the comfort of her own common room was alarming and scared her immensely. "But why? Why would someone want to do this? Do you reckon they want to hurt me?" Morgana's body began to shake with anxiety as her fears kicked in.

Morgana didn’t tell him about that detail before. But he didn’t blame her. She said she thought it was a harmless gesture. So, probably a sort of poison. He turned his head towards Morgana. "Do you remember who offered you that tea?" And, before she could give him an answer, back to Professor Boyle. "And do you have an idea how we could find out which sort of poison it had been?" Who should be able to do so if not the Professor for Potions class?!

Severus was waiting, surprisingly patient, for Morgana's mind to recall something. And when she did, he remained quiet while collecting the important parts of her portrayal only. A Ravenclaw, male. Well, that was not much. But she would recognize the boy for sure when she gets to see him again.
"But why? Why would someone want to do this? Do you reckon they want to hurt me?"
"Well, Miss Parkin..."
"Do you remember who offered you that tea?"
The annoyance rose again behind dark glasses. This boy seemed to like to play detective but they were here to get a word of advice from him, or weren't they? Besides, Severus hated to get interrupted, especially by a student. But before he could have said anything, the boy spoke up once again, this time directly to him.
"And do you have an idea how we could find out which sort of poison it had been?"
"If we start from that assumption, Mr. Holmes... then I would, in the best case, just need that cup to tell you what kind of poison it was. I'm doubting though that the cup is still in the Ravenclaw common room." No, that would be too easy. If someone really had been rigging the tournament, that person wouldn't have made a mistake such as that.
Severus raised from the seat behind his desk and slowly walked up to them, stopping his steps in front of Sherlock, only to turn his attention to the shelve right next to him where many of different colored fluids, carefully sealed in all kind of different shaped vials, had been accurately placed in a sorting that only the professor himself was aware of. His fingers slowly reached out to some of them, only centimeters away from actually touching the vials. He was able to name every one of them even with his bad eyesight, most probably even without it. "Herbicide, Antimony, ... Weedosoros" Severus paused. "It didn't even have to be a poison. There are a lot of potions that can cause effects just like dizziness and confusion. And there are a lot more of single ingredients able to cause those, at that."
And then finally, he turned around once again, this time towards Morgana. "Is there anything else you remember between the time you drank the cup of tea and the time you collapsed?" They already assumed that whatever potion it was, it had prompted her to throw her name into the goblet, but every potion differed in the minutest detail as for its side effects. So every detail was important here.

"Is there anything else you remember between the time you drank the cup of tea and the time you collapsed?"
Morgana crossed her arms tightly over her chest as she stared down at the ground in concentration, trying to recall any sort of vivid images or conversations from her delirious state, "Not much unfortunately. After I drank the tea, I began to walk to the chamber of reception to watch the festivities. Yet, the next thing I remember since stepping my foot outside the common room was waking up in my bed. That's when I wandered down and found you, Professor." Morgana played the events she could remember over in her head. Then suddenly, her recollection led her to a very interesting memory, "After you left me with the nurse in the Infirmary, there was a boy. He didn't approach me, but he watched me from the doorway for a while. Ash Jones, I think is his name. I see him around, yet he doesn't say much to anybody. Always off on his own," As Morgana spoke, her face lit up as she had a moment of realization, "He gave me the strangest vibe, not once did he pop in to talk with me. He only watched me...d-do you think he's the one? Do you think he's out to get me?" Morgana put the question out there as she looked from Boyle to Sherlock, her eyes glazed with sheer horror. If it truly was this boy who had harmed her and had her put her own name into the Goblet, what did he get out of all this?

It wasn’t his intention to interrupt the professor but he felt nearly like a detective who wanted to find out what happened. Maybe it was the fault of his father who named him for a fictional master detective. But the young man really liked searching for clues and using his brain powers to find the right conclusion.
"If we start from that assumption, Mr. Holmes... then I would, in the best case, just need that cup to tell you what kind of poison it was. I'm doubting though that the cup is still in the Ravenclaw common room." This time he didn’t interrupt the teacher. He even listened attentive to every single word, followed every single move and thought about everything he had learned about the potions professor Boyle mentioned. "Herbicide, Antimony, ... Weedosoros" "It didn't even have to be a poison. There are a lot of potions that can cause effects just like dizziness and confusion. And there are a lot more of single ingredients able to cause those, at that."
"Is there anything else you remember between the time you drank the cup of tea and the time you collapsed?" "Not much unfortunately. After I drank the tea, I began to walk to the chamber of reception to watch the festivities. Yet, the next thing I remember since stepping my foot outside the common room was waking up in my bed. That's when I wandered down and found you, Professor." Yet again he listened to every single word. "After you left me with the nurse in the Infirmary, there was a boy. He didn't approach me, but he watched me from the doorway for a while. Ash Jones, I think is his name. I see him around, yet he doesn't say much to anybody. Always off on his own," Sherlock remembered Ash Jones, a sixth year Ravenclaw. He also noticed him as a loner. "He gave me the strangest vibe, not once did he pop in to talk with me. He only watched me...d-do you think he's the one? Do you think he's out to get me?" While thinking about these questions he shook his head slowly. "Well, he might be the most suspect. But then we also had to think about the question why he should do it. What would he get out of all this?" He just spoke out loud Morgana’s thoughts. "Most of the students would rather use potions to manipulate the Goblet for their own sake." He saw at Morgana with a look expressing his compassion to her. Then he looked at professor Boyle. "I’m wondering if it would be better to talk to Ash Jones to find out if he is involved or if it would be the best to just keep an eye on him and trying to find out what reason he might have. What do you think, Professor?"

"Not much unfortunately. After I drank the tea, I began to walk to the chamber of reception to watch the festivities. Yet, the next thing I remember since stepping my foot outside the common room was waking up in my bed. That's when I wandered down and found you, Professor."
Just as he had thought. So, they were actually groping in the dark. And just as Severus was going to close this conversation, for now, she was adding something else. Something that was more than just a start all of a sudden.
"After you left me with the nurse in the Infirmary, there was a boy. He didn't approach me, but he watched me from the doorway for a while. Ash Jones, I think is his name. I see him around, yet he doesn't say much to anybody. Always off on his own,"
And there they had their Ravenclaw student. A sixth year if he remembered right. The fact that the boy appeared to be a loner had never made him wonder though, for Severus always had been a loner in his own school years. Also, he assumed Ash Jones hadn't been the one who gave the cup of tea to Morgana. Yet again, their culprit wouldn't have made a mistake such as that.
"He gave me the strangest vibe, not once did he pop in to talk with me. He only watched me...d-do you think he's the one? Do you think he's out to get me?"
Before Severus could have given an answer to that, it was yet again Mr. Holmes who spoke up fist. This time though he wasn't bothering it as he had heard enough already to finally close this inquiry-response cycle. He still had his own business to take care of anyway, so it was of high interest for him that the two students in front of him wouldn't miss the train to Hogsmeade with everyone else.
"Well, he might be the most suspect. But then we also had to think about the question why he should do it. What would he get out of all this?""Most of the students would rather use potions to manipulate the Goblet for their own sake."
Well, that was nothing new though. Sure, there had to be a reason. But he would find out. If Severus had asked himself the question of why he actually was making this his business, he probably wouldn't have come up with an answer to that right away. Maybe deep down he was still the young Severus Snape - a loner who was hiding behind books to cloister himself away from his fellow students? And maybe he was seeing just that in Miss Parkinson?
"I’m wondering if it would be better to talk to Ash Jones to find out if he is involved or if it would be the best to just keep an eye on him and trying to find out what reason he might have. What do you think, Professor?"
"I will see to it.", Severus finally closed this in kind of a rushed way. "Don't you have a train to catch? I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss... the fun." The word fun had passed his lips rather lumpish, for he didn't have the greatest memories of his own first and only journey to Hogsmeade many years ago. Students who get drunk and act up, and most of all students who sit together and pick on students with not so many friends. Severus shook off a special memory that for a second he had allowed to get the better of him. "Good day, Miss Parkinson and Mr. Holmes." These were words of farewell yet also his headwords to make them leave.

"I will see to it.""Don't you have a train to catch? I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss... the fun.""Good day, Miss Parkinson and Mr. Holmes."
Morgana remained silent as she listened to Boyle speak. She nodded her head in farewell as she turned to the door with Sherlock to exit the office. Morgana had to admit that she walked into the office feeling rather helpless, but now that they knew that Professor Boyle was on their side, she was leaving with a slight glimmer of hope with their newfound lead. If anyone was to get to the bottom of this nightmare, right now it would be Boyle. For now, Morgana had to carry onward and hope that she would soon be able to drop out of this death sentence of a competition.
"I suppose you're catching the train to Hogsmede, then?" Morgana asked Sherlock as they slowed to a stop, standing across from one another in the corridor.

"I will see to it.""Don't you have a train to catch? I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss... the fun.""Good day, Miss Parkinson and Mr. Holmes." That was typical for Professor Boyle. Of course, there were some things other students called fun which Sherlock didn’t like as much. But going to Hogsmeade and drink some butterbeer together with friends was one of the things he liked.
At least when he and Morgana left Boyle’s office he felt a bit reassured about their problem.
"I suppose you're catching the train to Hogsmede, then?" "Well, I suppose you are going to do so, too," he answered with a slight smile on his lips. Then he took her hand and made her going alongside with heading to the train to Hogsmeade. "I’m sure it will be a great opportunity to come to know better your team member. You will like Dray, believe me. She is a really nice and obliging person. "

Behind dark glasses, Severus watched the two students leave his office, not making any move until they finally had closed the door shut behind. Then he exhaled a held sigh, while his hands leaned upon the desk in front of him. Why was this happening and why was it happening now? On the one hand, he felt anger about getting involved in this for he had his own business to take care of, yet on the other hand, this was giving him something back that he had thought to have lost long ago. A task or rather the feeling to be of use. Not that Severus would ever admit so to himself but deep inside the life of a deceased was praying on his mind for quite a while already. That was one reason why he hadn't let anyone in on his own mission. There were things the organization didn't have to learn about.
Once Miss Parkinson's and Mr. Holmes' voices outside the door had faded, Severus decided to go for a walk. For the first time, there would be no students, or at least no more than a minimum of them, around Hogwarts same as almost none of the faculty. This was his chance to finally start another tour to take care of his own business which meant to find that damn room. The room of requirements. The place where he thought his object of desire to be hidden. The resurrector's stone.

Draco didn't particularly appreciate the term "sneaking". As a dedicated member of Governors, he also liked to think of himself as a loving father as well and with those two roles in mind it was his responsible duty to investigate the peculiar on goings of not only Professor Boyle but Draco grew suspicious of Headmaster Ogden as well. The fact that he went against school policies and procedures to bring in Anastasia Novak, a 17 year old Muggle was strange enough. What was even more bizarre was that Odgen had vanished on a trip right in the middle of hosting fellow wizarding schools for the Triwizard Tournament, and he had an inkling that it had to do with the young girl. Draco had rummaged through Ogden's office yet it appeared that he had packed anything of importance with him on his journey. Slinking in disappointment, Draco had been heading down the corridor to retire from the workday when he noticed that the door to Boyle's office was open just slightly. Seeing it as nothing but an invitation for more investigating, Draco helped himself and entered inside.
Draco stood silently still in the middle of the office. Scanning the room, he drew his fingertips along the side of the desk as he eyeballed the textbooks and papers strewn on top. Viles and bottles decorated surrounding shelves around him, some collected thick layers of dust. Bringing himself to one of the shelves, Draco inhaled air to fill his lungs for a moment before exhaling, directing his breath at the bottles to clear them clean. He lifted a closed fist to his mouth as he coughed heavily, the dust particles dancing around where he stood before clearing his throat. Composed, Draco plucked one of the labeled bottles off the shelf. "Potion No. 113. Brewed October 5,1992. Property of S.S...," Draco's thumb toyed with the worn label around the initials, his heart sinking in his chest slightly as there was only one potions master of Hogwarts that those initials would have belonged to, "I guess no potion in the world could have saved you from your end. If only...," As much as Severus Snape had annoyed young Malfoy as the pompous student he once was, Snape was always a friend to Draco and his mother and would always be grateful for his friendship and loyalty. Draco snapped out of his nostalgic thoughts as his head whipped over his shoulder at the sound of light rustling outside the office. Quickly placing the bottle back on the shelf, Draco felt that he had enough for one day and began to make his exit. That was, until something on the desk caught his eye that he had missed before. Draco picked up an emptied vile with traces of leftover liquid rimming the bottom of the bottle. As he realized what it could be, Draco snickered with delight at his find, "I've got you exactly where I want you now Boyle, if that's even your real name." whisking the clear vile into his coat, Draco quickly made his exit before anyone could discover his presence.

*** Severus enters from The Corridors ***
He had been back in his office for a while already, still mulling over his last conversation with Draco Malfoy. The boy... well, he'd become a man in the years of Severus' absence - a different man than his father had been, yet not less nosy. However, Draco was smart. He surely had already started making theories. A time will come when Severus wouldn't be able to keep his identity a secret from him. Maybe he should focus on what he would tell him then instead of what he was telling now.
Severus' eyes had been wandering only randomly over his desk when suddenly something made him pause. There was a little drop of slimy liquid on it. His finger reached out to whisk it off before his eyes continued to scan the office, finally remaining at the door. He must have left it open when he had rushed out to talk to this boy earlier. Severus also remembered that he had, last minute, reminded himself about another polyjuice dose. The vial... he had left it here, yet it wasn't here now.
"You want to challenge me, Draco?" Severus whispered to himself, while anger and satisfaction mixed upon his features. Anger about the trouble Draco was causing, and satisfaction about the feeling that he wasn't actually aware of himself yet - the feeling of being alive. Deep inside, Severus had been missing the good old times at Hogwarts, and much more than tutoring, he had been missing the trouble. Maybe even the Malfoys.
Severus opened the chest in which he was storing his pool of Boyle shakes, knocking down another one without even a blink of his eyes, made sure to place the empty vial back into the chest, just as locking and tucking it back in its hiding. Then he walked towards the door. It was on time to find the skeletons in Draco's closet - Severus was sure there were some, because, after all, he was a Malfoy -, so Severus would have an ace up his sleeve if Draco would be finding out his little secret.
This time, Severus made sure to lock the door to his office before he walked out to, yet again, sneak around the corridors of Hogwarts, but this time for other reasons.

Draco had traveled halfway down the corridor before something took a stroke of his stomach. A pang of prickling anxiety climbed up his throat as he realized he was in such a hurry to leave Boyle's office without being seen that he might have left the office door open. Of course, he had found it open a crack so he hadn't left it any different than from how he found it. Yet, he knew that his fingerprints were all over that office and if it looked like a break and entry then Draco would surely be in trouble. His breath quickened as he picked the pace up back to Boyle's office to fix his tiny mistake. Suddenly, Draco turned a corner and found himself face to face with Professor Boyle himself. Draco collected himself with a clearing of his throat into a closed fist before straightening his suit jacket, "Professor Boyle," Draco addressed him sternly, "My apologies for almost knocking you over. I had gotten word that perhaps one of the students that stayed behind the school trip to the Village may have been lurking around in rooms off limits. I simply was on my way to investigate," Draco was impeccably skilled at lying on the spot, however he felt that behind his darkened shades that this man was already growing suspicious of his words, "Is that why you're out here also, lurking the halls? I mean, you would have been notified as Ogden's substitute?" Draco turned the tables on Boyle to get the spotlight off of himself for once as he stared the teacher down, still rather shocked that Ogden left Boyle to stand in his spot for him while he was away out of all people.
