Her look was not unkind, but it was firm. It did not escape her notice that this one was a Hufflepuff and therefore he had far more distance to cover than the other, a Gryffindor, which was a shame but that was how the cookie crumbled. Tut tut. Did she need to put a note on her noticeboard about this? School uniform was uniform for a reason!

Floored. He'd been floored. Not a single professor before this had ever said a thing about his sneakers and the Hufflepuff had worn a different pair to almost every lesson. Flushed, and wriggling, Maxie had had to bite his lip not to whine. He'd already been feeling anxious - thank you boot, and Nina and Lulu dakest - and to be called out like this, even in the soft manner which Professor Carmine had done, was insult to injury.

He didn't say a word, but he did give the professor a very curt nod. "I-i-I'll be back," Maxie muttered quickly to Aaron, unable even to look his teammate in the eye as he scurried past him, his long limbs making quick strides out of the classroom and into the hall.
Maxie fumed all the way from the fifth floor to the second- it was only there he realized that his punishment was actually.. a gift. Considering how far the classroom was from his common room, Maxie could take his dear sweet time and Professor Carmine would be none the wiser. He could do... anything.

He could head to the kitchens and grab a sundae. He could lay down in bird and finish Great Birds of Arabia. He could even lay around the common room and do nothing - the greatest of all past times.
Mind whirling, Maxie kept on his journey only to find his feet had - in fact - walked him right into his common room. It seemed his body knew him much better than his imagination for it was headed straight for his dorm room.

.... Quietly, Maxie entered his dorm and went for his trunk.

School shoes made a lot of noise. They clacked and clicked, and clacked all the way from the Hufflepuff Common Room to the Fifth Floor Classroom. He had taken his time getting here- he could really run if he'd wanted, he could have made it back sooner, but Maxie was too busy fostering his wounded feelings.

It was the main activity, anyone could have seen that as they walked into the classroom and Maxie was, in fact, an anybody. "I-I'm b-b-back." The Hufflepuff said to the Professor, giving no ecuse for the legnth of his absence. It was her fault he'd missed out, and that was that. Slightly glower-y, Maxie took the seat nearest the door and settled in. He had... absolutely no idea what was happening.
