He would not get away with saying stuff like that without Penelope saying something to him. "You should not be telling the class that Maddie's answer is wrong. Respect what people say. Maddie is a smart Ravenclaw girl, and she is entitled to respect in this class. If you want to hug a dragon that is attacking people, you should rethink that. Use that Ravenclaw brain of yours. Any dragon attacking muggle sunbathers is nuts, even if it was beaten up as a baby. Being beaten up as a baby would make the dragon angry, and an angry dragon could go crazy. Dragons are really dangerous. Do you really want to hug a crazy, dangerous, angry dragon when it is attacking you? Do you really think it's okay to say that Maddie's answer is wrong? The answer to both should be no. Use your brain to figure out that you should respect what Maddie, and everyone else, says." That should show him not to think Maddie was wrong. It was so sad to see a Ravenclaw who seemed to lack common sense. Penelope expected rude remarks from Slytherins, but Ravenclaw? Really? Did he come from a family of Slytherins? Did he really lack the sense to know not to hug dangerous dragons?
Penelope hoped that she had not sounded too rude or mean, and that she wouldn't get in any trouble for talking to the boy (Kyroh). Also, she was disappointed in this guy for being so rude to Maddie. How could he be so rude to his housemate? Maybe it was just because he loved dragons, but that was not an excuse for being rude to people.
Whoa! what was going on here? Were the firsties having a spat? First one shared an answer, and then another one, Kyroh...if he remembered his name correctly.....shared his own thoughts about said events and what the other girl had said. He was clearly a dragon sympathizer, which was understandable
What was said was clearly a healthy exchange of ideas, in this case the first years way. Cris was used to that. He knew that most Professors encouraged a healthy exchange of ideas.
But then, another first year, decided to step in and reprimand him for doing so. Cris couldn't help but hear what she said. Hey!, it wasn't like anyone else was talking. Cris felt really uncomfortable when he heard what she said to Kyroh. Sure it was nice of her to speak up for her friend, but Cris thought that to reprimand someone else in class AND in the presence of the Professor, was inappropriate.
That should have been left to the Prefects to deal with, or the Professor, herself. Cris looked nervously at the Professor.
Not good...not good at all.
