Melanie held the doll in her shaking hands, fury coursing through her veins. Professor Scabior had the nerve to patronize them after what they had gone through. He didn't know what it felt like. That was her step-father! Her step-father that had been taking care of her pregnant, sick mother. Did they have any idea the horrible things that had gone through her mind? And she was sure a lot of other students had gone through much worse.

Considering the fact that she was still so furious she thought her fingernails might bore holes in the innocent doll, Melanie thought it was best not to offer an answer. She couldn't think of any good reason why professors would do something like that. They should be arrested.
