 Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch
It was mentally exhausting for Regina to have to stand here with a seventh year and talk about this behaviour the girl was exhibiting. At this age, the headmistress believed, Natalia should have been well beyond the tantrums and outright disrespect of her elders. If the girl wanted to succeed in the wizarding world, she had a lot of growing up to do. Within the grounds of the castle grounds, second chances could be given. Beyond those boundaries outside was a completely different world.
"Good. Very good," she said, visibly nodding her head in approval. "As Head Girl, you are held to higher expectations. You are a role model, someone that students look up to. Your actions haven't always been appropriate for a role model, Miss Franks-Mundie. The episode in the library was very disappointing to hear about, and I am sure it wasn't a pretty sight for those who were present."
Even though the 'right' words came out Natalia's mouth, Regina did not completely buy that what the girl had said was done so genuinely. She had dealt with kids like this before at Ilvermonry, mind you the ones behaving in such manner were generally first or second years. So, if the seventh year thought they were done here now, then she was oh-so-very wrong.
"Now, Miss Franks-Mundie, I am afraid that there are going to be hundreds more people who are going to upset you in the future. You're going to want to disobey them, shout at them, and maybe even worse," she continued, being quite honest with her. The librarian would be the least of her problems if this attitude persisted. "What can you do to address the situation upfront or to help you not get your wand in a knot? What could you do if someone does or says something that you do not agree with or do not want to do?" If she was truly learning from this detention, she would easily be able to come up with some valid options.
