Kurogane grumbled something to himself about how the missing teacher could be related to Sakura's feather, but he was promptly ignored.
The clock on the wall struck midnight and Syaoran bit his lip, aware of the time. With a quick farewell, he was about to return to the dormitory, but then someone pushed the door open from the other side.
Syaoran leaped back as the door swung near his face, giving way to a scrawny man in the opening. "You haven't seen any boys around have you? Two from Griffindor are out of bed."
Fai nodded. "Yes, I asked the boy Syaoran to meet me in my office at 11:00 for detention. He's here now."
Syaoran appeared from around the corner. "Professor Fai, I've almost completed scrubbing your trophies clean. Who's that?"
"Don't ask stupid qustions," Fai snappped. "Get back to work." Syaoran disappeared deeper into the room.
"I wasn't aware, " Filch apologized. "The boy has detention already? Those trouble makers are becoming younger and younger.
Don't let me interrupt." He flashed Syaoran a unwholesome grin.
When Filch was gone, Syaoran brushed a bead of sweat from his bangs. I can't keep doing this, he thought.
