No doubt towards the end of the school year, as he would spend the rest of his time trying to write up lists of pros and cons for each course and location. That was the way that he did things. "Thanks again, Professor Newton. I'll let you get back to what you were doing." Plus he had homework to finish off and hand in. Wonderful. Just wonderful.
Rosalyn nodded, pleased that Rooney now had a better understanding of what he wanted to do after graduation. "Sounds like a plan! Definitely do that whenever you are ready." As in when things were even clearer for her. "No problem at all! Have a good day." She herald had some marking to do which wasn't exactly fun, but it could be worse. Maybe she would take it to the staff room for a change of scene and chat with any colleagues that happened to be there. Quote:

Really though, she couldn't understand how so many people could be loyal to someone they'd never even met who lived so long ago, not when that someone had the reputation of Salathar. If Rowena Ravenclaw had attempted to kill an innocent person, (for example), she didn't think she'd be that offended if someone pointed it out. While true that Salathar never killed anyone, she was pretty certain he would have if he had had his way.
"But professor, if Salathar didn't want to kill anyone, then why did he seal the basilisk up for his heir to discover? I'm not trying to argue, but wasn't the whole point of sealing the chamber up so that another person could murder instead of him? I'm not trying to argue," she repeated hastily.
The mention of detention didn't surprise her one bit. She supposed this was going to be her punishment all along. At least she didn't lose nay points. Yet. 'I understand," she repeated sadly. "Also...if you could tell me what activity I missed out on, I could work on it in my free time."
She waited tensely to hear what her detention would be. It was good that Kitty understood why she was here, but then Rosalyn knew that the Prefect regretted her actions by the way she wished she had answered differently. Unfortunately there wasn't a way to change the past; moments like this time turners would be really useful.
The question actually made Rosalyn smile, not because this was a happy moment, but because questions were GOOD things. I'm Kitty's shoes, she would have done the same thing. "Intent to harm was definitely there, but that still doesn't equal murder." Just VERY questionable behaviour. "Parseltongue is a VERY rare ability and with a couple rare exceptions, it's only passed down through his descendants. If one of those descendants hadn't of been a murderous psychopath, no one would have died." As in to say that the Chamber wouldn't have been opened. It probably would have remained a myth in the eyes of the Wizarding community to this very day.
Seeing students sad made Rosalyn sad, but she was not going to let it get to her! "I will be contacting you about your detention soon." There were just some things that she needed to do first. "As to the activity, it's to come up with a fifth Hogwarts House - pretending that you are a fifth founder. The House needs a name, an animal, colours, and characteristics for its members that don't HAVE to be personality based. After that, you are to draw a House crest." Not too hard in her opinion. |
