Well she couulldd sit down when she felt like it but since she was authority, she HAD to listen. Zae sat down in a cushy chair and felt herself sink in. Jeez...that was unexpected. Now she was crossing her hands, this meant business. Zae was prepared.
Here comes the million dollar question...so the bloody baron did snitch. Of course he would. Now how would she phrase this lightly? "Oh right that..." she began. "Well the Bloody Baron doesn't have nice manners incase you haven't noticed." Well duh everyone at the snakes table noticed it seemed her Head of House didn't. "Sooo I was just giving him a taste of his own medicine. Might I add he seems to be the better person in this situation but he gives out nasty comments to the fellow students too, so excuse me for sticking up for myself." She wasn't letting the Baron get away too easily. Laurel's office wasn't always clean, but when she had snake visitors or colleagues coming by she made sure that it looked impeccable. It seemed pointless to beat around the bush so she had gone straight to the reason why she had summoned the snakette there. Zarina was quick to give her reasons for her behaviour too. As expected Zarina blamed it all on his bloodiness. Thoughtfully Laurel responded quietly, eyes on Zarina. "I see, just because you think that the Baron is bad mannered, and gives nasty comments it gives you the right to be rude to him?
Let me remind you that the Baron is Slytherin's House ghost and he deserves to be met with respect, politeness and kindness by all Slytherin students no matter what you privately think about him or his comments. I recommend you to meet him with politeness in the future while you go to school here, do you think you can do that Zarina?" The Baron could be resource of information if you weren't going out of your way to be rude to him. SPOILER!!: Skylar Quote:

"Chamomile is great," Skylar said, appreciatively, raising the cup and taking a small sip. Which truthfully is probably all she would have, but politeness was of essence.
Sitting the cup back down on the tray, she listened as her professor posed more questions. Ugh, she should have known it would have led to more questions. Why did she not seem to understand the impulse and impatience of teenagers? Was Skylar going to have educate her? She'd been a teacher for three years, at least, so surely she would know. Or should know. "Yes, in retrospect, waiting would have been better, but sometimes you just have to act in the moment." And this one of those moments.
Wait, what? That question seemed kind of loaded. "It's a love potion, I know, but ... I've never smelled it, so I don't ..." bleh, what was she even asking? Or saying? River did smell good, but she didn't know that it was her love potion smell. Sipping on her own cup of tea Laurel smiled. "It delights me to see that at least one of my students enjoys tea too." Whether Skylar was a tea fanatic like herself that was a topic for another day. They were speaking about teenage problems after all. Setting her cup down on the table to pick up a cookie and nibbled on it Laurel listened as Skylar proved the theory that she had been reflecting over before the girl's visit. Nodding she said "I think I know what you are going through since I was a teenager not too long ago myself. It's hard sometimes to control your impulses and impatience to act right Skylar?"
"Can you promise me to try in the future to think at least a little before you just act on your impulses?" Because next time it was possible that Skylar might not be so lucky as just losing a few house points but land herself in detention.
Ah, Skylar clearly had no experience with Amortentia so the 'he smells good' comment had just been taking out of the air in the stress of the moment most likely. "I recommend that you don't tell anymore people that they smell good until Professor Canterbury have taught you about Amortentia smells and potions."
