"No…" Karl says. Professor Armstrong blinks in confusion. "I believe it's a freeze response from anxiety. Where's Nico?" Karl says. Joey knocks on the door. "Come in?" Professor Armstrong says. Joey opens the door, and Nico walks in. "Mr. Lupin?" Professor Armstrong says looking over. Joey walks back to the Great Hall. "I was worried about Zak. Something didn't feel right…" Nico responds, glaring at Professor Armstrong. "Detention! 50 points from Slytherin!" Professor Armstrong says, standing up. Zak blinks, then growls. "No actually. He doesn't!" Zak hisses, glaring at Professor Armstrong. "Oh really? Pretty sure I'm the professor here" Professor Armstrong responds. "Oh so your gonna punish him because he was worried about someone that he has a soul bond with?!" Zak says. Nico blinks, saying "How do you know?" Zak snorts, "the excessively obsessive thoughts and almost complete lack of joint issues when we are close…" Karl blinks, "Zak, can you try walking over to Nico? I wanna see if my hypothesis is correct" Zak nods and stands up, walking over to Nico. "Huh…" Sirius says. Nico blinks in confusion. "Hold up. Do you know who my mom is?" Zak asks Professor Armstrong. Professor Armstrong nods, "you look just like her, but you have Sirius' eyes". Zak blinks. Nico frowns. "Dad?" Zak whispers trying to not cry. Sirius says "we can talk about this later". Zak leaves the office as quickly as he can, with Nico running after him. "I better make sure my son is ok" Sirius says walking out of the office. Zak and Nico walk back in the Great Hall. "Hey Zak, you ok?" Joey says looking over. Zak starts crying silently. Nico says "No, he's not." Professor Armstrong walks in and up to the head table. Nico glares at him.
