Kris crumpled the piece of parchment before burning it to ashes with one wave of his wand. He hated it. Hated-hated-HATED! Hated saying ’thank you’s and owing to people. Yet, professor Foxcroft and professor Hardy had saved his life on the Hogwarts Express. They deserved a ’thank you’ and they deserved to receive the thank you straight from Kris. However much he would hate saying it out loudly. Scowling darkly in front of him, Kris picked up his walking cane, his hand slipping over the thestrals head with surprising ease already. The wand fit into his hand perfectly... almost as if it had been designed for Kris.
„Morrigan,“ came the sharp command and a few moments later Kris felt the kitten’s familiar weight as th small animal ran up his arm. Leaving the Room of Requirement without a backward glance Kris slowly made his way through the hallways and down the stairscases which luckily didn’t change. Kris was slowly remembering his way aorund the castle. Sneaking around for 5 years previously came in handy here. Morrigan was incredible help as well, Kris thought as he turned the corner afte rMorrigan had jumped onto his left shoulder.
Luckily for Kris he didn’t have to enter the teachers lounge to find Foxcorft. He didn’t want to say ’thank you’, but as he didn’t have to choice he would much rather prefer to do so in private. Titling his head Kris couldn’t exactly decide with who professor Foxcroft was talking to, but it must have been some professor. Stepping forward swiftly, Kris interrupted the convversation rather harshly and rudely, but he didn’t want Foxcorft to get into the room before he had talked to him.
„Professor Foxcroft. Could I have a word with you?“ Kris cut in in the middle of a sentence causing silence while Kris’s faces was stony as he added, „If you pardon me for interrupting your conversation. But it’s not overly easy to find different people in the Hogwarts castle right now.“
The door closed and professor Foxcroft made a sound to show Kris that he could go on.
„Could you walk with me, professor? I wouldn’t want to be interrupted. There’s an alcove three windows forward – I passed it on the way – where I could tell privately what I wished to talk about,“ turning on his heel Kris started to slowly walk down the hallway even not waiting for the professors agreement.
Morrigan extracted her claws way to early for Kris’s liking as he reached out his hand and found the edge of the seat in the small alcove with his hand, before turning to face the window, not knowing wehre professor Foxcroft was.
His jawline stiffening for a moment, Kris forced himself to speak calmly and clearly: „I have heard the complete report of what happened on the Hogwarts Express this year during the attack. I understand that besides the aurors, out of whom some weren’t that fortunate, you and professor Hardy pretty much saved my life.“ Kris’s voice was a bit cold, but he didn’t like having to say thank you. That meant owning to someone. And Kris was too independant to ever want to own anyone anything. Owning his life was a few times worse, but it had to be done, so Kris forcefully loosened his almost painful grip on his walking cane. He had already thanked professor Hardy, so he could get through this one as well.
„I wanted to offer my thank you and to let to know that I appreciate everything you tried to do for me on the Express. I’m sorry for taking so much of your time, professor,“ Kris gave a deep nod rather stifly before turning again and starting to walk down the Hogwarts hallway with Morrigan silently purring into his ear as if approving his actions before jumping onto his right shoulder signalizing Kris that it was time to turn unless he wanted to walk into a wall.Kris had lost his eye-sight which altered his whole life-style and even some of his character. But he was alive, so Kris supposed that he should be happy. And both Dana and Mary were alright.
((Please don't reply to this, anyone. Kris was just accepting some of the depts he has for saving his life. Kris IC demanded it inside my head.
And I'm sorry for the slight god-moding I did in this post, professor Foxcroft.
