"Oh, I'm sure Salazar isn't going to be one to stay awake long tonight. I think he's eager to start tomorrow, as am I," Godric quickly added, just before Rowena entered. His attention went straight to her, a small smile on his face that appeared every time she entered a room. It was unfortunate that she'd never given him more than a friendly glance and, to respect the sake of their quartet, he had tried to act in kind.
There were days, though...days when it was much harder. Today had been one of them. But he needed to get over it. Men couldn't afford to crumble and give into their emotions. It would set a bad example for his students, who couldn't have a washed up wreck for their role model.
When Helga mentioned stunning the two of them, Godric nodded in hearty agreement. Well, he did stun them on more occasions than he thought was fair but instead of being impressed, Rowena and Salazar were mostly stunned by his impetuousness or (as Salazar rarely said) Godric's brash stupidity. But surprise meant surprise, in Godric's book. That was really all that mattered in the end.
The food appearing made him get back up onto his feet, determined to serve his friends after their long day. Pouring two goblets full for the ladies, he handed one to Rowena before levitating the other over to Helga. Then he poured himself one while grabbing a plate of the goodies. Not an overwhelming amount but enough to keep him going through the night to keep from having to make a midnight snack run. Granted, he could probably send for a house elf to fetch him something but that was hardly as fun as creeping through the castle, testing it's defenses and trying out the secret staircases and doors.
"So Rowena, how did you like dining in the Great Hall?" He asked casually, trying to hide his amusement at the other surprise they had given the two Founders this evening.
