Closed The Aftermath

[Professor Killian Fox]

Continued from here

Killian had sent his Patronus with a message to the two Head of Houses of the boys after he'd gotten them to the Hospital Wing. He was now waiting by Ares for James to arrive so he could fill the man in on the situation. Had it been on his Bingo card to discover a physical fight between two first years this week, or this year at all? No, but then again he hadn't been much better in his first years. By the looks of both the boys he was just glad he'd gotten there when he had and he did hope the girl that had hurried off before them was okay too.

 

[Ares Zephyr]

Ares was sat in the edge of one of the beds in the hospital wing, slouched and holding his stomach. At least Freddie had been separated so he didnt have to be worried the Ravenclaw was going to attack him again. Honestly he counted himself lucky that this was the first time he'd been in here; Freddie had hurt him enough times but until now he'd always just walked off the injuries.

Although the situation was a little intimidating he was looking forward to speaking to Professor Cade. Gaia was right, it was time he told an adult about the way he found himself on the end of a bully's threats. He didn't have to put up with this anymore, or at least he hoped if his Head of House knew about it, he could help keep Freddie away from him. "Do you think they can give restraining orders to kids?" Ares thought aloud. It would probably be for the best if Ares wanted to be able to walk safely around the castle in future. No doubt Freddie was already planning another trap for him to fall into in retaliation of getting professors involved. He'd had to scream for help though, he wasn't going to lie there and watch the first year beat him to a pulp again.

 

[Professor James Cade]

James hated getting a summons to deal with troublesome Gryffindors. his house was already lagging behind in the house cup and now one of his lions had been caught fighting! Why was it always Gryffindors? James headed straight to the hospital wing from his first floor office so it didn't take him long. He arrived to find Professor Fox waiting with Ares. "Okay, what happened?"

 

[Professor Killian Fox]

Killian turned to the first year slouched on the bed as he seemed to think out loud. Honestly Kill had no idea if it was even a thing for kids. Before he had any time to respond to the kids question however he spotted James walking toward them. Giving the man a nod in greeting the Professor crossed his arms. "I was having a walk when I heard sounds that sounded an awful lot like someone crying out and then a screech. Walked into a scene of this one," He gestured to Ares. "On top of anoher first year, Freddie Lagowski from Ravenclaw, landing hits on him. here was also a Slytherin girl and another Gryffindor boy at the scene." He tried to relay all the info he had as sufficiently as he could. "The other Gryfffindor seemed to be just a bystander while the Slytherin seemed to have been caught in the mess and was clutching her wrist, told her to come to the Hospital Wing but focused on these two who admittedly look far worse." Killian glanced at the Zephyr boy again.

"Ares says Freddie's been bullying him and was the one to start all of this while Freddie claims otherwise. I figured given both of the boys were not in the best shape I'd call both you and Kahurangi down here to keep the boys separated to avoid further conflict." He glanced towards Freddie now in turn, on the other side of the Wing. "I trust you to figure out what to do and if there is any bullying happening to step in. I'll be available if needed for detention, but it is up to you to deal with your lion as you see fit." Honestly the whole thing of bullying didn't sit right with Killian so he might just keep an eye out for the two boys himself just in case.
