John sat down and watched the Headmaster. He was quiet as he listened to the man speak. "Before William speaks, I do hope that the bullies, regardless of age or status or influence, are being dealt with accordingly." He started. There was something predatory about John's voice. It was sometimes easy to forget that he was a demon, he always looked and acted, so friendly.

"I've heard from other parents and some of William's teachers that the school is not properly punishing the bullies, just our son. Now, I understand that they are getting into fights. But William is defending other students. And if you are teaching these children that it is easier to punish the protector than the bully..."

"And if it's not your Headmaster, than it is someone under you, and they are still teaching the same lesson."
