Chapter 222: First day disaster

Besides dealing with Hermione who was constantly trying to drill sense into Harry and Ron's heads Nick also had to keep Luna from getting killed by Dusk as she "Thinks he looks like he needs a hug" and wasn't understanding that that would be the last hug she ever gave if Dusk had his way. That bird REALLY didn't like being touched by anyone other than Nick and made it clear after "warning" the offending party. Nick had heard from Helena the sort of "warning" Dusk had given Dumbledore and didn't want to have to explain to Madam Pomfrey why Luna had magical fire burn marks on her skin.-

Things would have been fine if it hadn't been for Peeves sneaking up on Dusk and yanking out one of his long tail feathers. The bird went absolutely ballistic as fire exploded out of it and it angrily started chasing the Poltergeist down the hallway launching gouts of flames without care for collateral damage after him. It got so bad that Mcgonagall had to get involved to save the rest of the school from the wrath of a very pissed off ho-ho. Her solution was to put him in time out effectively by transfiguring an unburnable stone box around Dusk.-

"I believe I made it clear that you were to keep this ho-ho under control Mr. Ravenclaw?" Mcgonagall questioned with a glare behind her spectacles. Nick could only smile helplessly and explain what had set Dusk off so badly. After listening to the full story Mcgonagall merely sighed in frustration before turning the much less homicidal but otherwise still fuming Dusk over to Nick. She then left to go deal with Peeves who was the entire reason an angry immortal bird had rampaged through the hallways.-

Every ho-ho much like phoenix's placed a massive amount of importance in their tail feathers so getting them forcefully ripped out would definitely set one off no matter how peaceful originally. Dusk was definitely not a very peaceful bird to begin with so Dumbledore wasn't surprised by his outburst at all. "It seems heavy punishment is in order for Peeves as his actions this time placed many at great risk of injury or worse. I will ask Severus to choose a fitting punishment as he will surely treat Peeves most harshly out of us all." Dumbledore said with no room for debate not that Mcgonagall was going to defend the poltergeist after such a dangerous action.
