I immediately stopped giving Professor Dumbledore the stink eye, when I heard the last part of his sentence.

I looked at him in confusion and asked, "what do you mean by "it is a risk to the castle." Hmm? I could understand how it would be a risk to the younger students and some staff members, especially like Filch. Some of those doxies didn"t exactly listen to the Doxy Queen when the two of you had a fight. I could clearly see that some of them might go against their Doxy Queen"s order and give in to their animalist nature then attack the students. But the castle?"

"Mhhh?! What do you mean, old man?" I whispered to myself as I rubbed my chin in contemplation.

"Yes, the castle as well. I don"t want the doxies tunnelling, soiling, and laying eggs everywhere throughout the castle." Professor Dumbledore answered, but I know for sure that I could smell something suspicious here.

As thoughts were swirling around in my mind, and I started to recall all the strange things that the castle did in my time at Hogwarts. It hit me like a sledgehammer!

d.a.m.n, how could I have been so blind all this time! I was staring at the answer the whole time, it was clearly in plain sight, but it never crossed my mind because it was so ridiculous and preposterous.

I turned to face Professor Dumbledore with my eyes narrowed on to him. "I know you are hiding something old man, so why don"t you cough it up, huh?"

I waved both of my hands in a sort of gesture showing that I am deferring to him. "Now, now… don"t look at me like that old man! I already know what the big secret is, I just want to run it through you so that I can make sure that I am correct." I finished saying with my finger pointed at him and with an all-knowing smile on my face.

Professor Dumbledore gave me an earnest look through his half-moon spectacles, then after a while, he turned away from me and then spoke as he was smoothing out his long a.s.s beard. "I have to hand it to you little punk. Although you are a very annoying…"

"HEY!" I immediately shouted when I heard the old geezer insult me right at my face.

Professor Dumbledore gestured for me to calm down with his wand then said. "Let me finish first before you start jumping around like an angry ball of fire.

As I was saying, although you are a very irksome little lad, you are still one of the brightest students I have in a long time…."

I looked at him with fake tears in the corner of my eyes and then said to him in my most joyous tone possible. "Thank you so much, Professor! That meant a lot to me! It really seems like you are not a penny pincher with words just your wealth. Anyways thank you again for those praises, it means so much coming from the most powerful light wizard of the century."

I snicker to myself as I ruminate to myself, did you think I would let that slight go unanswered for? Heh heh he! Then you really do not have a clue about this youngster at all!

I am of the mentality that; slap me once, and I will make sure to slap you thrice over. Who gives a s.h.i.t if the whole world goes blind thanks to that mentality.

For a long while, Professor Dumbledore stayed silent with a blank look on his face.

I took one slow, careful step towards him, so that I could have a closer look at him. All the while, I was nervously thinking to myself, did I break the old man with my small little jest?

s.h.i.t! Did I just kill the first line of defence against Voldemort, you know what scratch that, the only line of defence against Voldemort!

d.a.m.n why did I have to open my big mouth, it really is going to be the death of me, I wailed to myself.

No wonder they say respect your elders! You might be the cause of their deaths if you offed them just once, their fragile hearts clearly cannot handle the burden at all.

As I was nervously pacing around back and forth, and racking my brain over what to do. Professor Dumbledore finally came back from his long trip, if I could word it so. He released a long lengthy breath like he was trying to breath out all his anger in one go.

Then he turned to look at me with the same calm, serene look on his face, and the twinkle in his eyes was back on again. But what drew my attention the most was his guise, I swear it was like nothing happened at all. And that got me all my alarm wailing in my mind!

"As I was saying Mr. Lovegood, you are one of the brightest students I have had in this school for a long time. And I have to commemorate you for figuring out that the castle is alive.

Now, I will have to ask you to kindly take that with you to your grave!" Professor Dumbledore finished saying with a solemn face as he pointed his wand at me.

I took a frightened step back as I looked on at the Professor with a shocked face. I tried to say something, anything but all that came out was hollow noises, it was clear that I had nothing to say.

Thankfully two voices came to my rescue.

"Hey, you f.u.c.king old coot, listen here...." Fred started to say shouting, but George quickly closed his mouth with his own hand.

George who was always the least wild of the two, turned to face Professor Dumbledore head on. " Professor it is clear that Caelum was only quipping with you. Isn"t that right Caelum?"
