You know... Abra was just going to go ahead and let the headmaster assume just that, rather than correct him. But it was a bit of a slap in the face, all the same. Abra didn't know whether he was more upset that Derf had almost dropped him - and all the other student leaders - in it by instantly reporting what had happened, or with the pranksters for doing what they'd done right in the middle of class where nobody could pretend they hadn't noticed. Actually, it was probably the pranksters, actually. Abra wouldn't (truly, couldn't) judge Derf for following his own moral code.
Though, Abra decided right there and then that, if asked, he would say he had merely been deferring to the professor in charge of the class, or else planning to report everything after the lesson was over. It didn't matter that it wasn't true. Thing was, he wanted to keep his badge. Sure, it sucked to actually report the blatant rule-breakers (when he actually did), but he liked having prefect status, so hex him.
Another disappointment came when the warming charms were removed. Abra frowned slightly, but it wasn't SO bad when the classroom cooled down a little. He did give a little shiver though, having got perfectly used to the baking hot room.
Right, anyway. Lesson. Right.
When they were all told to drink from the cup, Abra hesitated. He'd never before had issues with eating or drinking food in lessons, despite many who had, but he remembered the feast, and it was clear from today that pranksters were still on the loose in Hogwarts. Also, the professor hadn't actually said what they were drinking. Abra picked up his cup, held it to his lips, but kept them closed and glanced around at the other students to watch them drink and see what happened.
... Oh. Right. Hiccoughs. Duh.
Well... alright then. Deciding that wasn't too bad, and feeling perfectly satisfied that he wouldn't, you know, turn purple or become infatuated with the first person he saw or anything, Abra drained his cup too.
...
...
"HIC."
Was it too late to mention that he always had very loud, very violent hiccoughs?
