This was outrageous.
In Theo's view, the headmaster was not just an officer sitting at the top of the administrative decision-making chain.
No, he was much more than that.
As the original founder of this academy, someone who saw it go through highs and lows, Theo expected the man in question to be someone perfectly reclusive, content with his great achievement and now merely enjoying the twilight of his life as even the magic started to fail at the task of keeping his age from catching up to him.
And yet, here he was, right before Theo's eyes, clearly amused by the whole situation.
To Theo, a headmaster was like an academy's supreme leader. Maybe hard to meet and come into any sort of direct content, but still—a leader that not only corrected the course of the academy when it strayed away from its intended values, but was also willing to personally intervene if something was going terribly wrong.
