I don't know Maria, but Erik?

[ No Harry, tell us how you really feel. ]

I've only met him in person the once and I'd like to say we got on like a house on fire, but he was trying to fly a shuttle. Through the walls of the shuttle bay.

[ Severus smiles. It's knowing and a little entertained but not exactly kind. Possibly reminiscent of faces he pulled (will pull) at Gilderoy Lockhart. ]

Yes. That sounds like him. [ Also he gave Severus a jar of bugs once. ] He is particularly agitated and, I don't doubt, will be going off on his own whether or not this happens. I would prefer to apply him somewhere useful, and have an eye on him.

[thebreakingwave]

While you're in operations and likely a goodly distance from whatever stupidity he gets up to?

[ Harry wrinkles his nose up and tries to decide whether or not going on the mission is worth it. Honestly, Erik might just be a deal-breaker.]

When I say someone is unpredictable and too rash, well...

[darkart]

If you're too unnerved by a man who can move spoons with his mind then don't go. [ Severus shrugs. ] I already told you that you wouldn't be put with him.

[ Erik is heading out there whether or not he does it with Severus keeping an eye on him; he's not going to cut the mutant loose on it. He needs to be watched. ]

[thebreakingwave]

[ He's not particularly pleased with the idea of leaving someone else to deal with Erik, but it's a fair compromise. ]

Alright. I'm in.

[darkart]

Are you certain? [ Severus is giving him something of a critical look, now. He can deal with Erik - he understands the kind of man he is. What he likes less are hotshot Gryffindors. Don't fuck it up, Potter. ] It needs to be undertaken seriously.
