Tapendra nodded as Sandusky made to leave, responding with a flat and curt, "Of course, Professor."

He straightened up as Ignan dismissed them, turning to look at Sasha - only to whip his head around to Ignan again at the man's parting words, mouth open slightly. The man's words were...accurate, but still not ones that had crossed his mind, aside from the mention of expulsion.

"Ah," he said, deep voice small and quiet for a moment. Then he sucked his breath in. "Come on, then, Sasha," he said, nodding to the boy and adjusting his coat. He sniffed, and then offered Sasha a weak sort of smile. "Let's go, then."

Sasha started to turn to follow Professor Trishna from the classroom but drew up short when Professor Storm said his name.  His stomach churned and he could feel the blood drain from his face.  That was twice now the possibility of expulsion had been raised.  And, now it seemed he'd likely be stripped of his prefect badge.  Everyone would know. 

They might as well just put him in a set of medieval stocks and he could wander around school with a giant black spot on his back. 

The Ravenclaw followed Professor Trishna from the office, hoping they'd manage to reach the Astronomy tower without being seen by any late night revelers hurrying back to their dorms.  He didn't want to see anyone else and, more importantly, he didn't want to be seen.
