He was just beginning to get his breath back when he reached the steps up into the school before he paused and looked up to the doors to see Andromeda and Professor Flitwick standing there waiting for him.
Magnus sighed softly, "good morning Aunt Andy, Professor Flitwick," he said greeting them as he climbed the steps.
"Good morning Mr. Black," Professor Flitwick said rather happily seeing him, "enjoy your morning run did you," he said rather pleased.
Magnus smirked, "yes Professor, I find a good run in the morning it great for waking up the body, and the fresh air does wonders for waking up the mind."
The Professor chuckled, "Indeed, ten points to Ravenclaw for taking such initiative on your own, and another five for such a display of creative thinking, Mr. Black."
Magnus smiled, "Thank you, professor," he said rather pleased with himself.
Andromeda chose that time to clear her throat to get his attention, "the headmaster has requested your presence in his office," she stated with a frown, clearly, she had an idea what it was about, and was less than pleased.
Magnus sighed, knowing as well, "I see, right then," he said before smiling again, "I'll see you both there then, I need to go and shower. I'd hardly think the headmaster would appreciate me turning up like this to his office," he said gesturing to himself in his exercise clothing that was rather sweaty after his run.
"Certainly not." Andromeda smirked, "take your time getting ready, it wouldn't do for you to turn up Looking any less than your best. You are the Heir Black after all." She said with a glint of approval in her eye.
"Yes Auntie, I will be sure to take my time~" Magnus smirked giving her a wink.
Andromeda chuckled as she turned and started to walk back into the castle with Flitwick giving a small chuckle himself as he turned to follow her.
Magnus smirked himself and shook his head following them after a moment or so.

It was nearly an hour later that Magnus approached the guardian statue that was the entrance to the headmaster's office with a smirk on his face.
He had done exactly as he said, taken his time, taking a nice long shower before taking his time getting dressed and then took some more time enjoying a filling breakfast inside his trunk, after all, it wouldn't do to skip out on the most important meal of the day.
As he reached the statue he came to a halt and just stood there not speaking with his arms behind his back waiting patiently with an amused glint in his eye.
He never exactly saw a good reason why Dumbledore had a password for his office.
After all, students should be able to come to the staff with problems they have, the headmaster most of all.
A password prevented students from approaching him or even coming to him in an emergency. It was rather foolish in his opinion.
It was only after another five minutes that the guardian moved and the stairs began to rise on their own, that Magnus smirked at, and proved to him that Dumbledore definitely had some kind of detection spells in place around the entrance of his office to watch those approaching, or perhaps the paintings just told him.
As the stairs stopped moving Magnus began to scale them and entered the headmasters office with a smile seeing both Andromeda and Professor Flitwick standing with amused looks on their faces seeing him arrive at last.
While Dumbledore sat behind his desk with a rather disappointed look on his face, and on the opposite side of the desk from Andromeda stood Snape who was sneering at Magnus as he came in
"Aunt Andy, Professors, Headmaster" Magnus greeted them as he walked in, "sorry I took so long, I got caught up enjoying my shower" he mused idly.
Andromeda smirked as her eyes glinted with amusement while Professor Flitwick gave a small chuckle, while Snape's sneer only darkened.
Dumbledore for his part gave a disappointed sigh, "not at all my boy, but you're here now, that's what matters." He said gesturing to the chair on the opposite side of his desk, "take a seat we have some rather important matters that I need to discuss with you."
Magnus nodded and sat down as offered leaning back and getting comfortable before looking to Dumbledore once more, keeping his eyes fixed lower down his face as usual.
"What is this about Headmaster?" Magnus asked politely doing his best to keep any sarcasm from his tone, knowing full well what it was likely about.
Dumbledore attempted to give Magnus his best-disappointed look but to little effect, "it is a grave matter my boy, word has only just reached me now how you have apparently challenged young Draco to an honour duel of all things." He said with a shake of his head.
"This is a serious matter my boy but there is still time to stop this before it goes too far and we can put this whole matter behind us."
Magnus frowned, "I understand just how serious this is, headmaster. I can assure you that I did not make this challenge lightly, and that intent to see this matter through." He stated plainly.
"Now come my boy, I understand that you feel you've been slighted, but surely this can be resolved peacefully without such need for violence." Dumbledore explained, his tone still dripping with disappointment.
"Headmaster," Andromeda spoke up as she glared at the old wizard, "you overreach yourself, these matters involve the Houses of Black and Malfoy, they have nothing to do with the elder House of Dumbledore, nor any of the positions you hold."
"I understand my dear." Dumbledore said raising his hands slightly to placate the angry Black witch, "it was just my hope that we could avoid violence in the school and such serious situations I...."
