Max's vaguely panicked and imploring look transformed quickly into a scowl as she hurled her accusation. Raiding?! Pfft, that made it sound like he was going through Professor's desk like a ruthless pirate breaking everything. The idea here was to take only what he wanted, which happened to be most of the sweets in just one drawer, without anyone noticing. But this goody-two-shoes was about to ruin it all!

"Am not," he shot back archly, hand instantly closing around the candy he extended. Hmph. So much for that olive branch. For all his bravado he cowered a little bit though, when she marched right over to him. It's not as though she was that much taller than him but it somehow felt that way.

"No, I'm giving it to Professor like he asked," he lied brazenly, not really thinking through how this might dig his hole much deeper. He thought it was a pretty good excuse, anyway, so he planned to keep it in his defense. "My name is Callum Finnigan," he went on resolutely, nevermind that he didn't look or sound even remotely Irish as the name implied. It was the first boy name that popped into his head and he hoped she didn't know him. As an added bonus, if she tattled, he hoped it would get his mortal enemy dorm mate in trouble.

"Now move, you're standing in my way," he huffed with enough conviction to imply she was the wrong one.
