''Your reply seems illogical... now that he has vanished into thin air and now that Hogwarts got a new Headmaster, I do not see how my relationship with Majere could be relevant. Yes, if he still trusts me, and I presume he does, he could call me for a meeting... he knows where I stand with all the fractions... or he think s he does, and he knows that my loyalty lies within the school... and everything else comes after. If he were to call me on a meeting, I would, as per our agreement and the, so called, task, or agreement, we have worked out... accept and meet him. But I suppose you shouldn't doubt my loyalty'', he said, coldly.
''As for his influence... we all know what he is capable of and how tricky he can get. I doubt he could fool the three of us, but the Ministry officials are idiots... Khaats' little girls could manipulate them. He is a man of great intelligence, but I do not see him as a man of great threat... he is dangerous, but I see him as a secondary menace'', he replied.
''As to his tenure... enough is to say he let the Death Eaters in, jeopardizing all of the students inside the school. I had managed to bring them to safety, while McCoy almost killed him... I rarely see him that angry. Doyle managed to portray him as an idiot upon his arrival and he still managed to keep, or attain, his position of Potions Master. After Vincent had left, he became Headmaster. The Death Eaters are formally running the school, but be sure that Doyle is with us, he is careless and intriguing, seemingly a bastard, but I do know him better than that, and his loyalties lie within the school. He won't allow the Death Eaters, especially those idiotic guards and pawns to parade inside the walls, no worries about that, my dear friend. But tell me, do you know about the demons?'', he asked.
