Elijah began the mindless trek down to the forest looking worse for wear. He had been caught up in a duel with some second years who were feeling brave. After drafting a few other younger students they set up barriers in the dungeons and Elijah declared war.
So now his tie was tied around his head and he was feeling pumped. The right sleeve of his shirt had been cut away with a badly-aimed Sectumsempra and when Eli asked the second years they looked interested to learn the new spell. However, Nachash was getting thoroughly annoyed with him. As much as the snake loved her master she hated being disrupted so 'Ash was now trying with all her might to grow and curl herself a little bit more around Eli.
Elijah patted the snake tattooed onto his arm and got a hiss of approval. He wandered over to the Professor and waved sheepishly.
"Before you ask, Sir." Eli said quickly. "Second years are vicious.. do not trust them." he stroked the beard-thing he was growing and idly wondered if he shou,d shave at some point.
'Ash hissed in agreement (but whether it was to his shave musings or in regard to the second years, Eli didn't know) and slithered up his arm to sit on his chest, knowing that there he had something covering his body. Eli chuckled and dropped his bag on the floor, not really caring about the mud that now covered the bottom.
"Snakes don't like 'ickle second years." Eli smirked. 'Ash hissed again and he shook his head, hoping to at least get some time to get himself sorted. He looked like a Muggle for goodness sake or some kind of Muggle hunter at least.
