 Fluttery Pegasi
Haddie sighed, and gave Mr. Kitridge a frank and flat stare. She turned her attention to a spot of pudding. "Scourgify!" For the head of the smart house Mr. Kitridge sure had a way of twisting meaning around.
"Fun," she muttered. "Not funny. Fun. There's a difference." Not that it was going to do much good, Haddie believed. Most adults when they couldn't punish the person responsible, were quite happy to punish another in their place. And Haddie never was able to keep her mouth shut. She'd probably been here as much as she had the responsible party. "Scourgify!"
Was it even worth trying to explain that she didn't find the destruction of the books or anything else for that matter funny or fun, even while she found Peeves and the excitement of dueling with him to be both? Would she even be able to express that accurately enough to Mr. Kitridge? Probably not. Haddie shrugged instead. "I can't help what I find fun, Mr. Kitridge. No more than anyone else can. Scourgify!"
She waited to hear what her punishment for today would be, and continued to clean with the spell Mr. Kitridge had shown them.
