Simone nodded. "He teaches History of Magic. He's also an advisor and sits on the board that oversees the school." She looked up from her bagel. "He's an asshole like all the other instructors."
"What's he think is going to happen with Edius and him possibly attacking the academy? It seems like we have all these adults around here that do nothing. Have they ever had to defend the academy from something like Edius? Are they going to run like the students do?"

He shrugged. "I'm just trying to figure out if when the shit hits the fan, if we're going to be on our own or if we're going to have some kind of support from the people around us. I want to know what and who we're fighting for."
"He's got a point, Cass," Braeden agreed. "If we're on our own, then we need to know that. I don't want to count on them watching my back if they're not going to be around to do so."
Simone looked to me, hoping I would support her.
