His eyes went from each of them, knowing what he needed to do before he even heard the stories. As each one spoke, he listened intently, not pleased by any of the words. Sergei seemed to be a little more apologetic but Professor Styx didn't buy it. He decided to speak to each of them, one by one. First, was Preston. "Preston, I didn't ask what happened. I know what happened in there. You pitched a fit over who'd you be patrolling with. I wanted to know what was going on inside of your head. The Head People and their actions are none of my concern. Your actions are." It seemed as though he wanted to save Sage. It did not seem like that was going to happen either. Now, for Alaska. "I don't really care what the Head Boy does, or lack thereof. You disgraced Slytherin, and your behavior right now isn't helping your case. You'll be lucky if I don't tell your father about what happened here, and who all you have been seen with. In cases like this, you need to learn to keep your big mouth closed. Right now, I'm honestly disgusted with your behavior, as you are part of my family. You and Sergei both really disgraced our family, in addition to what I mentioned before." He took a breath, thinking that he said enough to Alaska.
And now, for Sage. "Surely, I don't need to repeat myself with what I think about them, and how they are relevant to me. However, pointing the finger at someone else is not going to save you, and neither is your boyfriend here." He gestured toward Preston with his hand. His eyes rested on the final prefect, "Finally, you. You have your father's temper, and no doubt, his lack of intelligence. I don't really care about how someone else acts, as it is all on you to behave like you should, not what everyone else does. Your behavior does not depend on anyone else. I agree about the card incident, don't get me wrong, but... I believe that he should have left the punishments with me." Professor Styx appeared to have calmed down, but those that would think that would be terribly wrong. "Now, all of you, what should happen to you..." He paused, letting it sink in before he concluded, "Wands on the desk. You will not have access to them except in class until December. Take an additional fifty points from each of you for disgracing myself and Slytherin. Your prefect privileges have been revoked such as: taking points from students, but you can send them to the professors to deal with, no more prefect common room or the prefect bathroom for the remainder of the semester. And..."
He gestured toward Preston and Sergei, "You two are a special case. I am done with this fighting from the two of you. You will remain patrolling together, but there is an additional twist. Stand up and hold out your hands, now." He looked to the females. "You two are dismissed after the wands are left. Don't linger behind or else you will be in detention writing sentences until you graduate." The door opened with a wave of his hand. He stood up and waited for the actions to be carried out.
