"Yes sir, understood. I will defiantly
not look in the forbidden section of the library. Also, I though you might want to meet someone. Gob?"
The Small creature, who had been hiding behind Billy's legs, crept out before the headmaster.
"This is Gob. He was sent here by the Red Eye to devour the hair and keep it's involvement in this matter a secret. But it's okay, we're friends now, see..."
Just how many times today was billy going to have to tell this story, anyway? He was getting good at it, and Gob was helping this time, adding sound effects and telling the story from his perspective. When they were done, Billy decided to ask his question.
"Sir, I was wondering, in light of his cooperation, if you could enroll Gob in the college. He has magic, he showed that much in the practice room."
Hey son, wanna' learn how ta' make witch balls?
