He couldn't help but feel the disappointment as the boy continued to not even attempt to pull out his wand. He could even do a silence charm on the portrait.

He frowned and pulled out the next paper to mark. He couldn't help but evaluate himself and his success as a Professor with the way these students have been the last term. He wasn't getting to them anymore even though he felt he tried, but he wasn't going to back down with this one. He would be here all night if he didn't at least try.
