So yes, the quill could stay. He was just going to ignore it.

If he was completely honest with himself, he half-expected the Gryffindor to give him a sassy answer in return. An answer that was reminiscent of the lesson they had just had. So, when the fourth year actually spoke, Hirsch was actually pleasantly surprised with the answer. Though, he hardly thought it was a joke in any sense but this was a better answer than he had expected so he was going to brush the joke part aside.

"Exactly," he said, nodding his head slightly, "Not only were you talking while I was teaching, which is disrespectful I'll have you know, but you insulted a guest and mocked an apology instead of saying a simple 'I'm sorry'. Which then fuelled another argument and upset quite a few people." Pause. "I don't care what the history behind that mockery was and it doesn't bother me that you dislike the Toussaints but there's a time and a place and a lesson isn't one of them. In these situations, you need to learn to swallow your pride and hold your tongue." Understood?

Deep breaths.

"I...... am going to have to impose some kind of consequence because of this."

Sweet Circe, swallow his pride and hold his tongue? Oh Merlin, that sounded painful and horrible and every other awful word his quill could probably come up with. Did people actually do that? Was it a real thing? Blaise blinked at the man, his scepticism evident. He wouldn't be openly protesting but....very very very concerned Gryffindor sitting right here.

"Right, of course, yes. Swallowing my pride." It wasn't a coincidence that Gryffindors were lions and resided in a pride Professor. This was no easy task to ask of the Fourth Year. Blaise wasn't entirely sure he was even capable of such feats.

"And I understand there'll be consequences." As he usually did. The thing was to calculate the risks. Did they outweigh the benefits? Well, in this case, it would all depend on the next few seconds. "I'm fully prepared to accept those consequences and in fact am willing to give a few suggestions if you'll take them."

See? He was willing to meet the Professor half way with this. No stubborn tantrums or insistence that he did nothing wrong--although did he? Did he really? It was meant to be funnier than anything else. It was hard to miss when he made an actual attempt at being malicious but yeah, meeting halfway and all that noble stuff. He was ready.
