He was a little surprised at the piercing, but not too much. He'd known plenty of people who had them, it was just that none of them had been professors. He liked piercings, actually, and might even have gotten one himself if not for his phobia of needles, which made even thinking about the process that had put Adam's piercing there flesh-crawling. "Of course," he said, and pulled out his wand. He wasn't sure what Adam had been using to hide it, exactly, but he plucked from his memory a simple charm that would hide it until Adam chose to disclose it.
