Beth’s eyes watched diligently as Headmistress Hawthorne left. Of course, of course she stood and even [size=1]SALUTED[/i] her but with an air of defiance. She wasn’t doing this because Sir Stone-face had commanded it – she had done it out of respect. ”that is not normal, or nice…Spenley…let’s table this – I need to stand up for justie.”

Or maybe she was being a distraction – ”I don’t want to comply…” she muttered with a groan and simply grabbed a roll off of the table before heading toward the Entrance hall. No way was she going to just sit there listening to the former Auror talk about how Hogwarts needed to change.

Sure everything needed to change – but how was any human (other than Professor Vance) better than a Centaur as a divinations Professor? ”if anyone else wants to walk out I’m heading to help the house elves with their tasks…who knows how they’ll be treated now that Mr. Stoneface is here” she shrugged and was already nearly toward the door.
