He stood watching her. He wasn't going to even pretend to know what she was experiencing at home. His parents raised him as he raised his own children and they were purebloods. "It seems like you have another reason to change the quick defensive attitude then Haddie. They dont' want you here because they are muggles I assume?" He wouldn't speak ill of muggles, but he wasn't going to stand and lie to her either. "Every attitude, every point, every detention you even come close to is another step closer for them to win if you were to be suspended or expelled. The professors here can help you beyond just the lessons. They are all willing to help students that want to learn and show the respect as well. You can be a brilliant witch but your defensive side blocks this from happening at times."

He stopped speaking as she headed towards the wall to start cleaning. Pulling his wand he moved and filled the bucket again and then waved it over her rag. The rag grew a bit. "It will continue to shrink if you bring the attitude back." Turning he walked back to the chair and sat again.
