Merlin, this house elf was not very bright. Though not his direct master, Jeremiah still had authority over him. It was as though he was an employee, and Jeremiah was head of a 'department'. Perhaps the house elf certainly couldn't understand that kind of system. "Mean, no. Inappropriate and chaotic, yes. That is not tolerated, even for a house elf." He stated bluntly.

Jeremiah was tempted to have a different house elf sent in to replace this one at the moment. "You are dismissed. I will be speaking to the Headmaster regarding your behavior." He replied. Merlin, now Jeremiah was not in the best of moods. Hopefully it would pass soon.
