Kind of you to rescue supper from the elves' idea of an edible mushroom, but I hardly think it was necessary to engorgio the thing and walk about in it.

Oh, well, this probably works for any time from August to October, so you can respond whatever time Q wants to be in. n,n;

[the_schizoidman]

Hmmm....?

*starts*

Oh! *touches the turban*

*almost real laugh*

I d-didn't know there were any purple mushrooms.

*looks avidly at the student tables*

I think I'll just play it as it lays.

[exsequeverus]

Myceria pura. Good for certain throat ailments, not hats. Tell me it's some new abomination by the freckled wundertwins that's grabbed you by the eyes, and not our new celebrity.

[the_schizoidman]

*on the brink of archness*

Especially since they already have c-caps.

*fleeting look of alarm*

Celebrity?! *forces himself to be calm* Oh. *waves a dismissive hand, unfortunately dropping his fork* Not at all. And it's not the twins either. Though it is a bit of a joke.

*titters, his eye giving a twitch*

[hexed_gideon]

Oh, this is wonderfully chilling! Especially the last move with the mirror sent a shiver down my spine.

[the_schizoidman]

Thank you! Poor Q! :(

*approaches the office door, just a tad nervous. He's still wearing the turban, but thankfully, there's nothing on the back of his head now except his hair, which does look as if it had been cut with a mis-aimed charm*

*stops in front of the door*

*taps gently, then takes a deep breath and knocks*

(irritable, loud, and rehearsed-sounding, without looking up)
Office hours are over and we are not at home at this hour to transfer requests, roommate disputes, advisory or club issues, or academic questions. Unless it's an emergency, see your prefects or catch me before breakfast.

*listens to the spiel before opening the door and peeking his head around*

Er...I have an appointment. May I come in?
