It wasn't how he planned to spend his day today, in fact everything that happened yesterday at Flamsteed's office was not how things were supposed to go. He figured he could put blame Theodore Kinsley in part because he didn't write the essay that he was sure Firth told him to.

Getting a a detention for doing something as unintentional as throwing up on Professor Flamsteed's shoes seemed unfair, especially since he already took sixty points from him after doing so. Not much he could do about it now except serve this detention. So long as nobody else was down here to see the Head Boy down in the dungeon.

and of course he wouldn't get any luck in that department. As he reached the check in there was Lotus and Mr.Vinteren, What had she done? This was not a good image to show a fellow puff. He hung his head low and tried to hide his face from the two of them.
