Nikolas had actually considered skipping out on his classes today. As far as he was concerned, there was too much on his mind this week. It had been hard enough to focus after Sunday, and now he'd made plans with both Millicent and Lucy to meet up and discuss the latest developments. The more he dwelt on this thing with the Headmistress, the more confused he found himself becoming, and he didn't like it.
If it weren't that Millicent and Lucy had been among the other seven students, Nikolas wasn't sure what he was going to do. Tell McGonagall that he'd changed his mind? That was the last thing he wanted to do, especially after she'd praised his improved performance in classes lately, and all but told him she thought this might really change how things turned out for him. Maybe that was why this was bothering him - scaring him, even - as much as it did. Why couldn't he just brush this off, go with it as it happened, like he did almost everything else?
Taking to the air on the Skybrush Millicent had given him for Christmas, Nikolas felt his spirits lift a little. Flying was always a good way to clear one's mind, and the conditions today seemed perfect. A quaffle tucked under his arm, he hovered low, waiting for Millicent to arrive.
