[Petre's said it himself, to those who cared or stuck around long enough to hear him confess anything about himself: he doesn't feel like other people. Empathy is a mystery, true happiness an illusion, sadness a waste of time. There are things he gets in common with sentimental people, though, and right now that's pure anger. Ever since his last conversation with John Allerdyce he's been on a small rampage of his own, and the faculty is probably coming to their wit's end on what to do about him. Expulsion will make him homeless. Further punishment will only result in more broken rules.
For example, confining him to his room. It's becoming longer and longer since he's had a night's sleep on his own bed, choosing instead to engage with other students willing enough to let him into their quarters. Sometimes he just goes ahead and leaves the school entirely to spend the night out. Only returns with the sun's sitting tall in the sky, still smelling of alcohol and cigarettes.
Gardening's out the window. Cleaning the school. Helping the local community. They can't get him to do anything because he turns around and orders them to leave him alone instead.
Needless to say things are getting a bit chaotic. It's a wonder he's even coming back to the school anymore. Duty or not, people are starting to wonder what's even grounding him here, if anything. Someone needs to talk to him, but the counselor's out of town and the Professor is busy doing... something. Who cares he's a NPC.
Petre may not know how to be like a normal person, but he sure as hell knows how to throw a tantrum.
