It seemed like no matter how many years passed, kids were bound to be mean to each other. Gus wasn’t sure what was happening in the back of his classroom, but he was determined to get this back on track. (It was times like this that he wasn’t even sure he liked being a professor, but somehow he powered through each day.) He did smile and nod at Mr. Thompsett. “Yes. Good. Grindylows are double X creatures, although they are dark and dangerous, especially toward other creatures.”
At Mr. Fletcher’s outburst, Gus raised an eyebrow at him. “If a Grindylow would come in right now, I’m afraid most of you wouldn’t know how to defend against one.” And then it seemed like something was going on as he pulled a bunch of faces at Miss Potts and Miss Moony. At least Ms. Gillenwater seemed somewhat interested in his class.
He sighed and raked his fingers through his hair. “I wanted to take you all down to the lake after perfecting the spell in the next few weeks, but I’m not sure that’s going to go well with how you’re acting. So, how about you take your books out and read about the Grindylows, and we can evaluate tomorrow?”
