If the boy expected him to flinch at his sudden, loud and point proving outburst, he had better learn to try harder than that. When you were Headmaster of Hogwarts, you found many shocking things on a daily basis. A teenager too deep inside his own feelings to listen and understand what people were saying was barely a blip on his radar of horrors.
As such, the man watched in silence as the boy apologized then exited. He would not delay him with explanations for if the boy did walk back in late, he would be punished. Best let him be on his way so he could hurry back. All it took was walking out then re-entering.
When the boy left, Trent looked to his father with...perhaps it was sympathy. “Has he always been like this?” If so, why would Piers bring him here? Beauxbatons was accepting students and he was certain Desmarais would’ve had a better time of this except not really.
“Enter.” Malachi thought to remind him that it was detention and he had no need to knock when he was instructed to be there but as it was a polite enough gesture coming from the Slytherin who lacked a lot of it, the Headmaster remained silent on the matter.
He waited for him to enter before saying his next words. “In future, it might do to listen for understanding rather than listening to fire back. I haven’t once called you stupid. Not here, not back in my lesson. What I have done is tell you in both scenarios that your actions imply you are either disrespectful or not thinking as clearly as you out to be before acting. Your outburst just now only proves that further and it won’t do you any favours in this castle or anywhere else for that matter.” Would he properly hear him this time? It was yet to be seen but the man wouldn’t hold his breath based on what he’d seen so far.
“Greet your Professor, in this case professors then have a seat.” Malachi had been very serious about them modelling school life. “To begin, explain to Professor Fuller-Thompson why you turned up to class late despite my warning just the night before. You seem to feel justified, so let’s hear it. It must be an earth shattering excuse with your level of entitlement that’s accompanied it.” Because, up to this point, he STILL hadn’t said what made him late, nor had he apologized for it.
