Things were difficult in all sorts of things for him, and so he felt glad that he had a flurry of nice Professors that he could discuss his options with. He just needed to go see Professor Myers soon, too.

"And thanks for feeding me, too." Food was important.

Things like this was why Rooney was one of Rosalyn's favourite students. COULD she have favourite students? It made her feel a little bad in all honesty because she loved all of them. This boy shared her love of history, was creative, and also kind. "You are very welcome for everything. I hope I helped at least a little." Opinions could be really beneficial, and she did like to hell whenever she could. "You can come to me whenever." Even though he probably knew that, there was no harm in saying it.

Her mind was as blurry as her eyes. Deep down she was relieved she would get to keep her badge. She didn't know how she'd be able to show her face at school if everyone knew her badge was ripped from her. Not to mention the disappointment of her mom, who probably would be a little annoyed that the reason for it was that her daughter had decided to diss her childhood house. Ofcourse, Emily would understand that she hadn't been criticizing SlytherinS, but she'd still probably be a little annoyed.

Yet keeping her badge meant she'd have to continue spending time with Natalia, who probably hated her as much as Katy did. And then there was the matter of what kind of punishment she was about to receive from Professor Rosalyn. Kitty played over some of the possible punishments in her mind. If being demoted as prefect was off the table, then thankfully being expelled was also off. That left points taken away or/and detention. Maybe she'd make her apologize to Katy.

By the time they arrived at the office, Kitty had cried all the silent tears she currently had, an was now feeling dull. The books in the office might have fascinated her another time, but now they only served as the background, the final stop of this nightmare. She knew this wasn't a dream, but wished it was. If she had a time turner, she would rewind time and phrase her answer in class differently.

Dully, she sat down and began trying to offer an explanation. "I was only trying to answer your question," she began. "You asked about the founders, so I stated a fact. It's true that Slytherin house no longer believes what Salathar believed, and it's true that what he did was evil. He made a basilisk!" Some of her original passion returned as she said this. Honestly, how did people not get it? "And I started out by telling Natalia and the others that I loved them and that I knew they were good. But it was like if they only heard the part about Salathar and not that. So I exploded. I'm really sorry for yelling at Katy, but she said that she despised ME first. I'm sorry Professor, I really am. If I could turn back time I'd just give you a different answer. I'd have said that Rowena Ravenclaw died of a broken heart, and I would have been very poetic. Then no one would have gotten mad."

Silently Rose headed back to her office with Kitty. It made her sad to think that such a sweet girl could have done this, but everyone could have an outburst when passionate enough about something. If she had known her lesson would prove to be a hot button, she would have chosen something else. Hindsight 20/20 and all they could do now was address the issue.

Patiently she listened as the girl talked, waiting until she was finished to say her piece. "I want to start off by saying that I always encourage people to speak their minds in class. I don't want you to feel that you can't share your opinion." There was a short pause before continuing. "That said, it's important to keep in mind the WAY things are said. I understand that you didn't mean to offend Slytherins or call them evil, but people feel a lot of pride for where they are sorted and saying something like that about their founder WILL make them angry even if you don't intend to." Rosalyn hoped that she was getting the point across well here. "On top of that you are a prefect, a student leader. You are an example for students to follow - especially the younger ones who are not as familiar with the Wizarding world and Hogwarts. Screaming and storming out of class are not things that prefects should be doing. In fact it's the exact opposite." Children were impressionable. Look at poor Carlton who thought he was evil.

"I understand that you don't like Salazar Slytherin. You definitely don't have to like him. He wasn't a saint by any means, but he also wasn't a murderer." An allegation that would not sit well with Slytherins, and understandably so! "I don't like that he was prejudiced against muggleborns either, nor do I like that he built the Chamber of Secrets and placed a Basilisk. However, he did NOT set the creature loose in the castle. There weren't any deaths before he left. No one was killed by the creature until Tom Riddle attended Hogwarts. He was the murderer." Rosalyn just wanted Kitty to understand that.

Having addressed that issue, it was time to get to punishment. "You will need to do detention for this." Something that she was sure the girl expected.
