Sometimes you gotta hurt someone to keep them alive?

”I’m sorry but i disagree…” he said in a whisper. He truly did not like that she had said that. Torture was never the answer. He didn’t care what anyone else thought. Not even Rosier. There were more ways to keep the rat away from the cheese and he understood what Mamie had said that they probably needed to do what would please the Headmaster the most but …. he was seriously conflicted right now.

He was not rebelling though, in case anyone thought that. He simply wanted to find other options to this problem that didn’t involve shock torture. He watched as Aboli undid her spell and his eyes followed the rat as it began walking through the maze. Maybe she was right though, maybe working under pressure was a better way than standing there and coming up with ideas.

With a small sigh, the Hufflepuff took out his wand and waited for the rat to do something

‘please, rat, be stupid and not notice the cheese at all’
