Unforgivable Knowledge PV Closed

Date: 4/23/21

Terrible Presence in effect.
| Aura of Unease Present |

Something had occurred in his office only a few nights ago. Something which had both bewildered and intrigued the Seer in the same turn. It was something that Leonardo knew he was obligated to act upon, both for the sake of the nature of his current job and because of his intrigue. There had been a young snake, Mister Henry Knight, who had come to his office asking about a pair of spells, one a skill, the other an Unforgivable Curse. Both of them questions which Leonardo should have immediately directed to Miss Pendrast, the school’s Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

It had been after the encounter that Leonardo realized that that should have been his first course of action as soon as the questions had been asked of him, yet he had been to enthralled in the moment by the curiosity which followed such a young student wishing to learn a pair of potentially dangerous spells to have immediately thought that the best course of action at the time.

It was Friday, during dinner in the Great Hall. It was the earliest time that Leonardo had managed to rouse himself. He was sacrificing his time to eat for the time being in favor of holding this appointment with both the student who had asked the question of him and the Professor who would know more about these things than he had the ability to eloquently explain. Macbeth, his faithful owl was currently holed up in the Owlrey, properly tired out from the pair of flights, results of the the small errand that Leonardo had set upon him. A pair of delivered letters, written as follows:

20/04/21

Professor Pendrast,
I am writing on account of a pair of questions that a student came to ask me about this night prior. They are of a nature that I believe you are more versed in than I; specifically in the realm of the Unforgivable dark magics. If it be in your power, I would kindly ask if you would be willing to hold a conference with him, out of concern for whatever pursuits he asks these questions towards.

May I request we perform this discussion in your offices at Dinner this upcoming Friday? I will send a letter to the student myself requesting the same.

Very respectfully,

23/04/21

Mister Henry Knight,
This letter is on account of the questions you brought to my attention a few nights prior. While I apologize for any possible incitement of nervousness I may have imparted to you in the midst of my counseling, I do wish to have a meeting with you covering these topics with someone more able to discuss these sorts of things in depth.

If it is to your desires, please meet me during the school’s united dinner in the Defense Against the Dark Arts’ classroom so that we may continue to pursue this conversation in more depth.

Sincerely,

Leonardo was curious as to if the student would indeed take up his offer. Knight had intrigued him in a way which few did. It was a daring event, a curious question. Something which while the Seer could have been blunt in answering, he felt it was better for this counseling to take place instead. It would be a learning experience for Knight, explained better to the younger Slytherin than Leonardo ever dreamed that he would have the ability to do. This sort of understanding was important. It showed responsibility. It showed understanding and maturity, something that many young children struggled with.

He waited outside the classroom, searching for the bright blue eyes which had stuck out to him on that night. He dared not invite himself into Miss Pendrast’s classroom without permission. It was common courtesy, after all. Something that Leonardo would have appreciate himself if his own privacy was to be invaded.
