Good point...
Of course it was a good point because it was Evelyn's idea. Oh yes she was always right. So the Tate man had better agree with her.
''Then maybe he got married and experienced the peaceful side of life'' he joked and right after giving the headmaster the last look, Josh turned to spot his she-snake in the class and as his dark eyes found her beautiful face his cheerful self returned.
And now he knew what to do....
Grinning to himself the boy slowly stood up and being careful to not to be spotted by Tatertot by hiding himself behind desks and other students, he approached the Slytherin girl and quickly took the seat next to her.
''Hi, hun, did you miss me?''
Hehehehe
Tate thought, for one precious moment, that the Gryffindor boy had learned his lesson. He had offered an insightful if sarcastic answer, and he had shown that he was paying attention.
He was even willing to ignore the glaring.
He was not, however, willing to ignore the blatant rudeness as the boy rose and moved through the class, distracting his classmates. "Another five from Gryffindor, and you are excused from this class. You may submit homework to redeem the house points you've lost, but you may not continue here and disrupt your classmates."

Well, that could have been true. Like the others mentioned, he must have had a kid around sometime. Having been too busy thinking about the thought, and seeing a picture of Salazar Slytherin living in a dainty cottage with flowers and butterflies in every inch of the land around him, she didn't notice Josh trying to be sneaky.
That is, until he sat down next to her. EEP! Josh! *giggle*
"Miss you and your random Ravenclaw ways?" she muttered with a grin. "Of course."
"And five from Slytherin. You can leave as well, unless you think you can restrain yourself from chatting while we're having a discussion," Tate gave the girl a flat look. Honestly. Honestly... we expect more of you, She-snake.

Too many purebloods saying scary things, she mouthed to Belle, not comfortable at all. She didn't want to get her into to trouble since they'd just gotten Charley in trouble.

"And as for you two," he turned on the students holding an urgent yet silent conversation. "You should reconsider your actions before you lose points as well. Focus on the subject at hand."

"Maybe....I think I worded my statement horribly. I don't take sides in the argument. All of the founders had their beliefs, and all for good reasons. While I believe that Slytherin's opinion on whether muggleborn students should be admitted is discriminatory, it was reasonable at the time they founded Hogwarts. It was completely understandable that they wished to keep the school as free as possible from outside influence, but every founder had a varied opinion on how to go about executing that. Gryffindor and Slytherin's opinions were the most different, and neither was really....willing to give. Hence, Slytherin leaving after one of their arguments. I never said they did not consider each other friends. However, the other founders did choose to back Gryffindor in his opinions, which essentially drove Slytherin away."
She turned slightly towards the student who she had also been speaking with, painfully aware that their Professor was still watching her.
Remembering the rest of Tate's response, she pursed her lips, terrified of what she was thinking to say next. She took a couple deep breaths and sat up even straighter.
"Professor, though, you seem quite opposed to my opinions, and supportive of Slytherin's. The vast majority of my information is from either Hogwarts: A History or from my mother, an esteemed Hogwarts graduate who rarely strays from fact and has a practically photographic memory. Do you mean to suggest that our textbooks are illegitimate?"
Charley nodded after reading the note from Belle, winking back while putting her hair behind her shoulder again. It had slipped over when she was responding to Professor Tate.
"I'm not opposed to your opinions specifically, but to any that include wrong information or harmful assumptions based on half-truths. You were citing information which is NOT from Hogwarts, A History, and if you gleaned it from your mother, than her education has failed her. Let us say, instead, that you know your facts, but you were trying to elaborate and strayed from them. I'm willing to concede that you have probably read some of the texts, but you need to be willing to concede that I am the authority in this classroom."

The corners of her mouth lifted into a small smile just thinking that one over.
"Maybe after leaving Hogwarts, Slytherin sought out other ways to promote his beliefs," she said, her hand raised into the air. "I don't think he would have just dropped the cause altogether, but maybe he moved further away to approach a different group of people. There's still people alive today who share some of his beliefs, after all. Maybe some of that is a result of what he did after he left the school."

I think someone else said something about Durmstrang and I personally have nothing against anyone there but he could have gone there and been involved in that school. Traditionally, they have been stricter about enrolling students than here." she paused as a thought came to her, "Of course, he might have just given up on the school system all together and focused on something else, like forming a group of witches and wizards with similar thinking to his."
"I think we've found the direction I was aiming toward," Tate smiled as the girls offered similar suggestions. "While I admire the logic and reasoning many of you used to consider where Slytherin went next, and I think it WOULD be logical to assume that where one school failed, he might try another, we have the ability to track his actual movements once he departed from this halls."
Tate considered for a moment before continuing, "Following this expulsion, so to speak, Slytherin began to gather to himself those who were likeminded. He may have happened upon a few members of a group already in existance... their history is spotty, but what we DO know is that he became the rallying point for those interested in protecting the Wizarding world from Muggle dangers. Consider those clues... the time period, their mission. Can anyone think what that group might have been?"
