Summoned, I come

[Finley Mackintosh Baros]

Finley was a little nervous, which wasn't something he could usually say about himself. But since he was standing out front of the Charms Office and he really didn't know why (other than the note he'd received to come here), he figured that was probably a good thing to be a little nervous about. See the problem was that he'd been half way through reading the note when Lemon had apparently gotten upset with the lack of attention she was being paid and she'd jumped up and eaten it out of his hands, so if she'd stated a reason for him to be here, he hadn't gotten to that part yet. Was he in trouble? He didn't know what he'd done to justify getting into trouble, and if he was in trouble, why wasn't he seeing Professor Cade and not Professor Grayveson? It was a bit confusing for sure. His last few lessons had gone well - better than usual, even. He hadn’t blown anything up, accidentally set anything on fire, or caused anyone to sprout feathers (all incidents from his earlier years, admittedly). Yet, here he was, summoned to the professor’s office with no explanation. "Uhm, professor?" He called out, not even sure he wanted to knock on her door. "You wanted to see me about something?" Couldn't he have at least brought Miles or Adrien with him?​

 

[Professor Mallory Grayveson]

Mallory was cleaning up her office- she was going to pick up Peter tomorrow, and wanted everything in place for when she got back. She'd already gotten most of it done, and was currently just dusting, when there was a voice from the door. She stopped, waving open the door. "Hi, Finley? Come on in," She smiled, moving to sit down as the tea began to brew. "Shut the door behind you, don't want the cats getting out," She chuckled, relaxing in her chair. "Thanks for stopping in."

He hadn't really thought this far ahead. Okay so maybe he shouldn't have said what he'd said to Angelo, but what was he supposed to say, he'd said he wanted to trim his wand! What if no one had said anything and then he'd gone and done it? What would have happened? Would he get expelled for cutting off the top of his wand? Was that destruction of property? He didn't even know and now he never would know (which was a good thing) because he hadn't let Angelo do it. So he stepped into the room, careful to avoid any cats that might try to get past him and then shut the door behind him. "I'm sorry I've been late to class, it's really not my fault, I keep forgetting to actually wake up and then when I finally do it's usually half way through class!"​

 

[Professor Mallory Grayveson]

Mallory blinked, and smiled softly. "Finley, please," She motioned again for him to sit. "Calm down. You aren't in trouble. While I may invest in getting a watch for you, I didn't summon you here to scold you." She tucked her legs up under her. "Didn't you read my note?" She questioned gently. "Sapphire sent me a letter, asking me to look after you while you're here," She reiterated. "She and I are cousins. Your father is worried, and in an effort to soothe that, Sapphire promised to reach out."
