This year had overall gone quite a bit better than last year for Mortimer. No Satoris or rouge experimental charms had interferred with the peaceful running of the school. Even the students weren't making trouble. Not that most students here usually did, surprisingly.
Maybe they were scared of him. Good. Or the professors were too scared to pass their discipline issues on to him and were taking care of any themselves. Also good.
Or the Challenges-along with their regular classes- were keeping them too tired to cause trouble. If that was the case, Mortimer was all in favor of bringing them back later.
That did not meant that he loved everything about his job. Any sort of interacting with students was rather a pain in his backside. Appearing like he was not irritated with said duties took a lot of effort on his part, though after a few years of practice as he. One of said duties was handing out Head Student ballots. Really, Mortimer felt it was a job better suited to one of the other staff. He had more important things to do with his time. Administrative tasks and all.
He put some effort into wiping off his usual scowl-the one that his older brother Zachariah claimed Mortimer had been born wearing-off his face as the fifth and sixth year students filtered in. "Hello." He gave a perfunctory greeting. "Today you will be voting for Head Student. Please try to vote for the most qualified candidates."
