Turlough would not dignify that with an answer, but note that he still didn't remove Hagrid's hand.

It all happened so quickly that Michael didn't have a chance to do anything but cower a bit until the whole kerfuffle was over, because OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL GIANT HAIRY BEAST GOING ON RAMPAGE! He gaped at Hagrid when he returned to the Great Hall, and upon witnessing the interaction between Hagrid and Turlough thereafter, immediately thought, I SURE AS HELL wouldn't want that guy deflowering me gently!

Yeah, best to get on this guy's good side. So, in a show of solidarity, Michael simply turned his back on the two men, lifted his shirt and jacket, and pushed down the top of his pants to reveal his gay pride (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i270/miss__sophia/GayPridePin.gif) tramp stamp (http://community.livejournal.com/hogwarts_hocus/1831385.html?thread=101544153#t101544153).

"Put your clothes back on, you look like a fool." Turlough was far from impressed.

At least Turlough was capable of words. Hagrid took one look, shuddered and looked anywhere but at Michael.

"I'm not gettin' anythin' like that," he rumbled to Turlough. "Not fer you, nor the hat." Hagrid might not have many beauty standards, but by God, that was a line that would not be crossed.

Turning around, Michael gaped and pointed at Turlough. "BAD GAY! BAD GAY! You, sir, are heteronormatative and a travesty to the gay community! If there is a Hogwarts chapter of GLAAD, I am going to report you to them!"

"No, you're just the poster child for why All..." he looks at Hagrid. "Most Earthlings are Idiots."

"And you're just the poster child for...for..." Michael really didn't have anything. "...for Corporate!" Hah! Take that! Ultimate insult! Michael gave three snaps in a Z-formation, accompanied by a really white attempt at a side-to-side head weave.

"What the fuck are you talking about? And you're not really proving your case here, arguing with the groundskeeper like this." Yes, Turlough's abusing his power, what of it?

Re: Random socky interlude

Toby would never have cussed like that. And for that, Turlough earned himself a modicum of respect.

Just a modicum, though. Which was less than a smidge. Which, in turn, was less than a dab.

"I'm talking about Corporate, the DEVil incarnate! The Tobies of the world! Trying to tell fathers how to run their families and spank their children and delete chain letters and promote workplace ethics and safety and EVerything that is BOring and WRONG in the world! And YOU'RE the stupid face on the poster, staring at all of us and telling us that it's not appropriate to talk about boobs and turn training videos into Rickrolls!"

Breathless, Michael stopped, one accusative finger pointing at Turlough.

Turlough just stood there with a look of pure evil on his face as Michael went on his tirade, before merely saying, "well, if you're so utterly incompetent that someone else needs to do your job, well, then, I suppose the shoe does fit. It's a wonder you weren't fired from your job."

This conversation had gone almost completely over Hagrid's head, and the half-giant wasn't entirely sure that violence wouldn't break out any minute.

He set his hand on Turlough's shoulder, squeezing gently. "Honey," he rumbled. "Mebbe we should leave this one, hmmm? It's no' like 'e's gonna be our prefect... either o' us. 'Sides, it's abou' time for Exxon Valdez's bedtime story. She'll get lonely if we're no' back soon."

There were very few pets, either outside of Hogwarts or among the students themselves, who rated as much devotion as Hagrid gave to the chinchilla Lezard had given him and Turlough on their wedding. Besides, Hagrid wanted to know what 'rickrolling' was, and he was a little afraid to ask the hyperactive man who was ranting at his husband.

"Don't call me honey." Nevertheless, Turlough calmly turned and walked away from Michael.

And, well, Hagrid was a good storyteller.

The high road was not a path with which Michael was well acquainted. As such, without hesitation, he took Turlough's departure as a sign of victory for himself.

And victory called for only one thing.

Michael raised his hands over his head, swung his hips from side to side, and sang out, "IN YO' FACE! IN YO' FACE! UHHH, UHHHH, IN YO' FACE! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

Sportsmanship. It was his second best quality, next to leadership, of course. And comedy.
