And he really didn't want the cat hair. Like REALLY did not want the cat hair, so he was grateful that she did not have the bag with her now.
"But excellent work, Miss Fischer, and thank you. How does a bowl of ice cream sound?" he beamed at the Gryffindor as he summoned two bowls of deliciousness towards them from his office stash. "Oh, and take 7 points for your skill with the Sucking Charm." Which really meant thank you for being my minion and making Medea's feline beasts look ridiculous, but he wouldn't say that.
"She wasn't. When I left her, she was stuck thinking her cat was a rat and cowering in fear in the corner. It's okay, though, she'll realize it's her pet soon enough." That was her defense professor? Come on Romanos, it was a RAT. Alice had caught one of those with her bare hands for that potions lesson on ingredients this year, be a Gryffindor.
And.. seven points?
"Professor, I risked my LIFE in there. Romanos could have totally hexed or cursed or jinxed me. I wouldn't be able to play Quidditch. Don't you think that's deserving of at least ten? It was really AWESOME skill." Cue puppy eyes and innocent looks. Come on, Aireyhead, they were in LAST place. And really, three more points wasn't going to kill anyone, was it?
OH BUT ICE CREAM. YES. YES, THAT WAS BETTER THAN HOUSEPOINTS. .. she still wanted those three, though. More puppy eyes.
Ice cream, though.
"I want some!! What flavor? Jelly slug?!" No one would EVER give her jelly slug.
