"Why are siblings fighting over such nonsense?" Odette asked.
Greg stared at the headmistress, then laughed his tail off. "Us....siblings? We're cousins miss." he told her. Oh, right. I completely forgot there where three sets of Weasley siblings. Odette thought to herself, and turned a faint shade of pink. She then turned to Dylan, and smiled. "Professor Llewellyn, do you need any assitance with anything? I'm sure these pupils would love to help, or they can suffer a harsher punishment for rough-housing in the school."

Dylan was embarrassed for the Headmistress as she made a simple enough mistake in thinking that Greg and Kendall were brother and sister. They both had the same surname, both the red hair... It was very easy to confuse. He had to remember not to make the same mistake himself in future.
"Professor Llewellyn, do you need any assitance with anything? I'm sure these pupils would love to help, or they can suffer a harsher punishment for rough-housing in the school."
On being addressed, he stood up a little straighter, no longer leaning on the door frame, and unfolded his arms. Gently clearing his throat, he pushed his glasses up onto the bridge of his nose yet again and gave the two students a little smile. "Oh, I'm sure I can find something for them to do, Professor White... some nice filing, perhaps? Getting my book case into some sort of order?" he suggested, glancing over his shoulder into the office behind him. "W-would you like them to do this now, or...?" He trailed off uncertainly, looking to Odette for instructions.
"Right, y-young Weasleys - you know there is a very simple solution to this problem of yours... what about a nice summoning charm, eh? I'm sure we covered them in last year, Greg." Yes, he was right. Mr Weasley was in fifth-year, and Dylan taught summoning charms to his fourth-years. But he couldn't blame Greg for not thinking of that - it was easy to get carried away in an argument about the wand, rather than just to get it back and forget about any prior disagreement. He didn't mean to put the Hufflepuff in the spotlight; the suggestion of the charm was both serious and joking, as he was the Charms teacher.

Kendall gulped, and Greg looked like he was bored with the whole conversation. Odette looked at Dylan, and nodded that they could do it know, it was a simple punishment. "Get a move on children. You have lots of work to do with Professor Llewellyn." She looked up at Dylan, giving him a nod in thanks for the tea and company. Then she smiled as a "good-bye", then moved off down the hall.
Kendall looked up at the professor. "Where do you start Professor Llewellyn?" Greg rolled his eyes.

Dylan smiled in return, his silvery-blue eyes following Odette a little way down the hall before darting to Kendall as she spoke. "Well, firstly I-I think your cousin needs his wand back - accio Greg's wand," he said, flicking his own and waiting expectantly for the wand to zoom into his hand before continuing, "and-and secondly, seeing as this is supposed to be a punishment, you can please sort out that book case into alphabetical order by author, without using magic, whilst I get on with this filing," he told them, motioning to his untidiest book case. It was the smallest one - coming up to waist-height underneath the window - but the books were all out of order, stacked and shelved randomly because he hadn't had any time to do anything else with them. "Thank you," he mumbled, turning to his desk and starting on the scrolls, books and papers he had just brought in with Odette's help.

Greg had watched the professor watch the headmistress walk away. He couldn't help but laugh. And he continued to laugh, he thought it was funny. He thought that the two professors liked each other. God! It's another Dumbledore and McGonagall. he thought. Kendall and Greg went into the office, and began to tidy up the bookcase.
