Fluttery Pegasi Hadley glanced back at Professor Prime curiously. "Giving me pointers on how not to respect my parents wishes?" It just struck her as ironic. Here was the good Professor, simultaneously expounding endlessly on respect, and yet essentially telling her to rebel against her parents desires for her.
Interesting.
She wiped her eyes again with her sleeve. "Yes, they're muggles. But that's not the reason." She continued to scrub the wall with a practiced hand. This wasn't the first time Hadley Denaker had gotten scrub duty as a punishment. She just never had it this bad before. "It's because one of you tried to eat us last year," by you she meant the professors, "and another poisoned us. They don't think the school is all that concerned with the safety of the students..."
Hadley let out a silent sigh of relief as the rag enlarged itself a bit. Just in time for a particularly stubborn bit of grime too.
