If there was one thing Henry was not a big fan of, it was confrontation. He was a peaceful guy, as in he would rather spend his afternoons reading a good book or plan his lessons. Unfortunately, it had come to his attention that one of his students had suffered through a detention that he didn’t believe was justified. Never in his life had ever heard of students being punished for doing a good deed and standing up for wrongdoings. So, he had decided to put his books aside for the afternoon, forsaking the gripping tale he had read multiple times before and marched to the Headmaster office.
He didn’t even bothered to knock, maybe he should have but he was too baffled with what was going on within the school walls to adhere to the simplest of rule. “Headmaster, I need a word,” he said as he pushed the door, letting himself in without so much of an invitation. He wanted to get to the bottom of what was happening and dilly dallying wouldn’t do him any good. “Why was my student in detention?” he asked quickly, not waiting for an answer. He was not angry, not really. He was just confused.

Yes.. Henry should have knocked before entering. For at this very moment in time Murphy stripped bare to just his briefs and covered in a strange thick sticky substance, from head to toe and was applying it liberally on his legs as he had them outstretched on top of his desk, with little regard to the papers that got in the way. It was part of his weekly mask and every Saturday afternoon when no one usually bothered him. In fact, it was almost known to all that they should NOT be bothering him on any part of the day on a Saturday and most of his staff knew that. Unfortunately for Henry, it seemed he missed the message.
So when the door barged open and Henry stepped in, he saw a very naked man before his eyes, looking rather surprised. Murphy's look of surprise quickly shifted to a bothered glare and he pulled his feet off his desk rather promptly and shifted back into his chair, trying not to look bothered by the fact that he was completely covered in a mud-like substance or that he was nearly naked.. OR that he was on the verge of murdering his dear beloved staff.
He crossed his hands over his chest and glowered, listening boredly he began drumming his fingers before exhaling loudly,
"To whom are your referring to?" he asked, cocking a brow as he did so not entirely sure who or even what he was talking about. Murphy had all but forgotten the detention from the day before, he was a busy man. As clear as could be seen.

To say that Henry was shocked was an understatement. It took him a moment to gather his thoughts, blinking rapidly at the sight of his boss that was nearly naked. His mind reeled, trying to remember any of the office circulation he had missed and regretting the fact that he hadn’t bothered to knock first. He could have really used not to have the image burned into his mind for all eternity. No, he was not dramatic. Hamlet was dramatic. He was shocked and it took all of him not to babble incoherent nonsense when he opened his mouth. Unfortunately, it was not the most intelligent thing he had uttered before either.
“Uh…” he said, opening and closing his mouth. “Do you maybe want to put some clothes on first, Headmaster?” he asked, gesturing at the Headmaster’s form that was covered in what he hoped was mud and not some unmentionables. He really didn’t know the man well enough despite having worked for him for two terms so far. There were rumours of his instability and oddness, but having never witnessed any of it in person, he didn’t put much stock in the gossips. Though, he still wasn’t sure if the Headmaster was as odd as many would led him to believe.

Murphy peered at the clock on his wall and looked up as if in thought and then replied simply,
"No" not even the least bit bothered by how affected his staff member was, or that he was half naked covered in a strange substance. He wasn't one for shyness and now that his staff member had already seen him he couldn't feel bothered to change. "I've still got another 20 minutes left and I don't want to go through the process all over again."
Murphy glowered at the man before him as he dodged glances, he added rather fittingly "We're both adults here Henry. If it bothers you so much, the door is there" he motioned toward the door as if Henry might have forgotten where the exit was. insufferable twat.. Didn't he know better than to interrupt him at this order. But really, the GALL he had in trying to get him to change. Whose office did he think he entered anyway?
He sneered slightly, never noticing how disrespectful his staff could be. He would have been embroiled in rage had it not been for the fact that his mask had a combination of Aloe and the effects were rather soothing to his mentality. This special mixture guaranteed some things.. but the smell was rather awful, not that it bothered him. He had long since lost sensation in his nose.

Okay… Henry thought. Maybe Murphy was as mad as the rumour made it out to be. After all, as far as he knew, the rest of his peers would rather be dead that standing before a fellow professor nearly naked. Still, he decided not to judge and press on. The sooner he got to the bottom of the issue, the sooner he can get out of the office and avoid whatever the hell that was giving out such foul smell. “Right,” he said, opting to get the conversation going, reminding himself that it was not his place to judge what the Headmaster was doing in his spare time. And also, he just remembered what day of the week it was, knowing it was entirely his fault for not waiting a few hours until he barged in or better yet, knock first. He noted it down in his head as a lesson learned.
“My student, Dale Roberts,” he went right back into the reason why he was there. “Why was he in detention?” he asked, not bothering to hide his confusion as to why Roberts had been punished for doing something by the book. It was absurd no matter how he looked at it and what was worse, Ravenclaw had to suffer quite a loss in house points during the whole ordeal. It didn’t seemed fair and he wasn’t sure what sort of lesson the Headmaster was trying to impart on the students. “Did he broke any rules?”

"Who?" Murphy asked, puzzled as to who this Roberts was. He didn't know any Roberts, and he certainly didn't have any in detention the night before. Murphy picked up a stack of papers from his desk, smearing them with some of the mud from his fingers as he flipped through them.
"I think you've been mistaken, Professor." he added, impetuously, now lifting his eyes from the sheet of paper to stare at Henry. "I didn't have any such student in my detention on Friday night"
And he said it with such sincerity it was clear he wasn't lying. Murphy didn't remember at all a Roberts. The only students in his chambers that evening was Mcdonald's, the insubordinate brat... Filters the fat wad loser, and Rib... Ri... "O'Reily!" he snapped his fingers, sitting up as the name finally came to his mind.
"Yes I had an O'Reily. Insufferable little tool he was. Acting all high and mighty.. spreading lies. That sort of thing" Murphy nodded now sure of himself "It seemed only just to give him detention. The loss in house points was due to his own errors, his repeated denials. You understand, I can't stand for that in my school. No no no. " he shook his head, now raising to his feet and moving around to the front of his desk so that he was now closer to Henry. He leaned against his desk and shifted his butt onto the edge of the desk so he was now in a comfortable enough seat and raised his brows,
"Now is that all?" he inquired, wanting to get done with this business.
