How about ALL the boys trembling in the presence of the QOH?
You could hear the laughing and giggling before you even entered the room. You heaved open one of the heavy doors. Tom, Harrison, and Harry were all facing away from you, Harrison had just pushed Harry and now heâs doing the same in return, pushing him into Tom who only laughed.
âI asked you to do one thingâ You shouted and they all stopped immediately, facing the throne, their hands clasped in front of them. The room was silent except for the clicking of your heels off the floor. You stopped in front of them. âOne thing. One simple thing. And you couldnât even do that?â
The three boys stood silent, staring down at their feet. You were terrifying when you got angry, it didnât happen often but when it did, it made some of the most powerful demons run for the hills.
âTom, what were you supposed to do?â You voice was soft and sweet now, only making them more scared, you swear you saw Harry shaking. Tom opened and closed his mouth a few times. You crossed your arms and tapped your foot impatiently. âIâm waitingâ
âWe were- weâ he stuttered out, âWe weâre supposed to retrieve the humanâ
âHarrison, why didnât you?â
âWe were caught, your majestyâ
âAnd why were you caught, Harry?â You were shouting again, you jaw clenched as you waited for a response.
âWe were screwing around?â He says it like a question, his voice small and timid.
âExactly. And then I come back here, to figure out what went wrong and what to do with you, and I see the three of you goofing off and disrespecting myself and the throne in doing soâ You look at the three of them, pausing for effect. âThere will be consequences. For now, leave. Iâll call you back when I decide what to do with youâ They turned and hurried out of the room, leaving you to sit and think about what youâll do with them.
