Nicholas' confused expression remained.
"Well, I knew he was home schooled...Wait! You mean to tell me that no one ever taught him magic!?" Nicholas asked, surprised with the sudden revelation. "Well, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Heck, I can teach him some things."

No silly, he's a squib-
She sighed heavily and just shook her head. She wanted to clarify, but felt she had already betrayed Aesir enough. "I wish you luck- he's not going to take too kindly to it, besides he'll know I said something if you try- So let's just forget I even said anything... To each his own."

As the two continued their conversation not far away a figure watched them calmly in the shadows. He studied the female for a long time recounting their first encounter, how she was injured and seemed to have been struggling to live from the encounter that occurred in the Mess Hall. He was slightly impressed by her character, one who would still struggle in her condition and try to act like nothing happened. She was a fighter it would seem and that was something he respected.
"Ah, good to see you are doing much better than my arrival." He said with a calm and neutral voice as he looked to Althea.

Nicholas grimaced some; he was never one to leave those who needed help without any. He shrugged.
"I suppose I'll have to forget it. I wouldn't want him to crack his broom over my head." he mumbled.
Sighing, he looked to Althea. "In any case, it was just speculation. I doubt he'd want to do anything here. He seems to like Elsbeth a lot. Although Minka..." he said, tapping his lower lip. "Worth looking into a little more..."
His eyes turned quickly to the man who seemed to have appeared.
The new Head of Slytherin no less.
Nicholas offered a small smile and a nod of his head.
"We'll finish this later then, I suppose." Nicholas muttered to Althea.

He continued to look at Althea.
"Are you sure you should be out and about now? You seemed to have taken a rather nasty fall from whatever attacked...." He paused for a few moments seeming to gather his thoughts. "Hogwarts.."
A small chuckle is slightly heard after he recaped on the current events inside the school.
"Though I suppose what attacked inside was not as bad as what was trying to attack from outside..." His mind seeming now to drift back to a few hours before he entered the school.

Althea nodded to Nicholas and turned to the stranger, pulling her lab coat closed tighter around her. She was still in her nightgown after all.
"Umm... Thank you... Though it was less of a fall and more of a brutal clawing...I really don't want to think about it, even though I don't remember much- I'm Dr. Althea Lansmann, I'm usually the one in charge of the Hospital wing when it's not been commandeered by St-Mungos'... Nice to meet you, Mr.?"
She extended her and offered a weak handshake.

As he did with the head mistress he looked at the hand for a short while staring at it as if he was pondering on what to do with such a motion. His eyes seemed lost in thought for a while then he looked up to Althea.
"I am Redic Silizar. Professor of History, and newly appointed head of Slytherin." He said and bowed his head down slightly. He was garbed in the usual attire he dresses in. Simple professor clothing yet he also wore more fabric to cover most of his exposed skin. The only visable section on his that skin could be seen is his face which as well had a hood over but it could not cover his eyes nor his mouth.
"And who might this..." The next word seemed to drag slightly as if he didn't really like speaking it. " 'Charming' individual with the quick tongue be?" His mind recapping again on the previous encounter with his arrival as he looked to Nicolas. His face showing no signs of emotion.

Her smile faltered when he hesitated to shake her hand.
Harumph, they're all alike...
"Oh yes, sorry, for some reason I assumed you may have already met... I've been sleeping for the past few days... This is my husband, Nicholas Lannsman, Head of house Gryffindor and newly appointed Deputy Headmaster."

Nicholas sighed.
"I teach Defence Against Dark Arts, as well. I'm sorry if we got off the wrong foot the other night." Nicholas said, sliding his arm around Althea's waist and squeezing her ever so gently. "I was rather worried for the well being of my wife. If I said anything to have upset or insult you, sir, I hope you accept my humble apology."
No matter who was in charge, Slytherin Head's of Houses never did like him.
"I know it wasn't much of a reception, but I'm sure once we open the Great Hall once more, we will be certain to announce you properly to the student body as both professor and Head of Slytherin."

He looked at Nicolas for a long while. His eyes seeming to look past the man and more into his tree.
"Lannsman..." He said. For a few moments it would seem his lip curled into a very distrurbing smirk.
"Ah.. I see now." He said after a few moments in silence. "I understand now all too well." His smirk then curled back into the blackness of his cloth and the neutral expression returned on his face.
"Well... Since you are the newly appointed assistant to the head mistress I think you should know what the previous one encountered. If he was kind enough to let you know about it earlier." He said softly.

Nicholas kept a wary eye on the man. Something about him rankled Nicholas. He shrugged it off and kept his neutral smile and conversationalist tone.
"Well, the former Deputy wasn't kind in many respects and failed to mention it to me, or anyone else, I think. And if I may ask, what does my family name have to do with any of this working all too well?"

"A tale worth speaking another time Deputy." He remarked back with no hint of anger or hostility. But it still sounded a little eyrie of the way he put it together.
"The information though I will reveal to you I do not think it would be best for your..." He paused again his mind seeming to drift off for a few moments. He fell silent again, the tall black man garbed in black stood there expressionless. Then he seemed to snap back into attention. "Wife not to hear what will be spoken. I was on my way to speak to the Head Mistress concerning this issue. It might endanger many... innocent bystanders."

Althea frowned, clearly displeased with what Redic said. "Whatever it is your are going to tell him, I can hear too. He'll tell me anyway. We don't keep secrets between us. And if people are going to get hurt, then I think I should know about it..."

Nicholas frowned, trying to make sense of the man.
"If it endangers the lives of innocent people, it's best people know so they do not walk directly into this danger. I daresay that if you are to speak to the Headmistress of this, she will more than likely tell the staff members as well." Nicholas responded evenly.
Something unnerved him about this man's constant flitting in and out of reality, as well as his secretive comments.
"Then again, I'm not to judge. I don't know what it is. And if it is as pressing as to not tell the woman in charge of this institutions medical facilities or the Deputy, than I suggest you should find the Headmistress immediately. We've had enough innocent people in danger. This shouldn't wait, unless you choose to be held accountable for withholding information if someone is hurt while you're waiting to divulge this precious news." Nicholas responded in a no-nonsense manner.
The Auror instincts had returned.

Redic seemed unmoved by any words spoken to him. He stood there the same as he was since the beginning. He looked to the two of them then spoke afterwards.
"A Manticore has nested in the forbidden Forest." He simply said. He waited a few minutes before speaking again.
"I spotted the previous deputy under attack by the beast. I was on my way to the castle, judging by time I would say it was either during the attack inside the castle or a few moments after it. In any case I drove the creature away when I fired a Blasting Curse at it's tail. Though it is not dead and knowing the beasts it will not leave any time soon.
He looked at the two awaiting their response to the news.
