James stood there, expecting, as with everyone else, to feel the impact of another ram of a centaur. His heart was racing as the light from Sam's wand reached into the room and James' eyes adjusted to the spectacle inside. He was in complete and utter astonishment at the scene before him. James blinked a couple of times, making sure the sight wasn't just his tired mind playing tricks on him. He glanced over at Elle and Sam to see if their reactions were similar. Oh boy, they were.
What in Merlin's name? Wow.. I'd really like to know what this is. It's fascinating, he thought to himself. It was not often that James stumbled across a creature that he was not familiar, or had at least studied in a textbook. This was definitely a rare opportunity to possibly gain some insight on something new. Providing it was safe.. it seemed to have little, sharp, teeth protruding from its mouth in awkward directions.
"Peeves. What, why, how and why? Explain."
The troublesome poltergeist looked up as Sam spoke to him. He just gave them a crooked smile and started rocking the creature back and forth in his arms. "It's okay, little one, it's okay." he kept on saying to it the thing in his arms in almost a sweet voice. Peeves then addressed the three of them, "This isn't what it looks like."
Strangely, Peeves was not playing games with them. He was almost acting paternal towards the little creature. This night isn't gonna get any simpler, is it? James thought to himself. He looked over at Sam and Elle once more and shrugged. He was quite clueless as to how to handle this.
