It's a Hit...Sorta (Founders)

Godric was relieved that Rowena hadn't lost it when he refilled their goblets. He was almost certain he saw a look of annoyance on her face but if so, it was gone as quickly as it was there. Shrugging it off, he figured even if she did have something to say about the matter, she'd at least wait until Helga was safely bedded down for the night. And by the time that happened, Godric could be out of the castle and, at least temporarily, out of reach until morning.

When Rowena went to support her friend, he moved to the other side to take Helga's arm. While it wouldn't be the best look if any of the students came across them in the hallways...

Then again, if a student was out in the hallways after the specified hours, they would be having a bigger problem than just having one of them being found a little deep in their cups. Unfortunately, that would leave either Rowena or himself to deal with Helga while the other dealt with the errant student. He could only hope that none of the students would be brave enough to break the rules on the first night.

At least wait until the second day, he thought with amusement.

Gently, the two led Helga towards the door and out into the hallways. Godric clucked his tongue twice, indicating for Rhiannon to follow behind them instead of at his side as she usually would or, rarely, lead the way. The last thing he needed was for one of his friends to trip over her. Then he'd really hear about it!
