Why the Headmaster kept that house elf around was something that Jeremiah could never understand. But reasoning with the Headmaster was harder than any lesson that he had ever given to his students. Part of this was likely due to the fact that Professor Black did not seem to be too fond of muggles, the topic of which Jeremiah chose to teach.

Jeremiah would have a different house elf summoned later. For now, he wished to do his own job. He watched as the house elf disappeared. Hopefully he wouldn't see the thing again anytime soon.
