It was curious, the way openings such as 'with respect' often prefaced statements which were anything but respectful, especially when delivered by teenagers. Kamran was ready for that to be the case here, and to use the opportunity to teach Cambridge that dressing up an insult did not absolve her of responsibility for saying it, but it turned out not to be so bad as all that. It was her opinion, she was entitled to that much.

He quietly waited out the story again, nodding here and there as he followed along, clearly listening even if it was a little less clear exactly what he made of it all. When she was done, he nodded once more, with a touch more finality. Nobody could say he hadn't given her a chance.

"Well, you're right about that, at least." It really shouldn't have come to this, there was simply no need for it. Kamran glossed over the apology for now; he wasn't one to fall for cleverly worded displays of alleged contrition, didn't even want his students to apologise for the actual wrongdoing if they didn't mean it, only to see an improvement in behaviour. "To be clear, Headmaster Trent has your best interests at heart, you and every other student here. I will not have you spinning a lie like that to get out of lessons, especially with all that's happened here recently." As if the environment around here wasn't already tense enough what with one thing or another. As if the man in charge didn't have enough on his plate. "I am perfectly aware you orchestrated this quote-unquote 'attack' yourself. So. That will be detention for trying to deceive your way out of my class, and, for keeping up the lie now, you will serve it on a Saturday. I'll be informing your Head of House." And that just happened to be... look at that. Funny how these things worked out.

All this was delivered perfectly calmly. Kamran wasn't angry, ~~he was just disappointed~~. Even if he was, years of experience told him not to escalate the situation unnecessarily, especially as he did still intend to get Cambridge talking, though with a bit more honesty next time. He didn't doubt he'd need to do all the prompting there.

"Once both your arms are healed up, you'll be making up the lesson you missed as well." They might even do the lesson and detention on the same day, but he wasn't promising anything. It really depended on how long it took for Cambridge to start making better choices, and learn that Kamran was not a man who appreciated being lied to. "Have I made myself clear?"

SPOILER!!: V (different timeline, after lesson 2)

In the interests of being as considerate as he was willing to be in these circumstances, Kamran kept Gellar waiting just a little longer, with a quiet, "One moment." Maybe it didn't seem so considerate, but it was for much the same reason that he kept her after class to talk in the first place, and not in the midst of everything.

So, when the last student was out of earshot - and after he'd watched them move off a little further - Kamran set his broom and the container of fake wands aside and turned his attention to the Slytherin.

"This shouldn't take too long. Firstly, I want to make sure you understand why I took those points, and why I won't allow any kind of lashing out in my classes. If so, we can draw a line under it, and have a clean slate next lesson." Grudges helped nobody, and that was not limited to flying. Kamran didn't like to assume which of these kids might or might not hold a grudge over a simple conflict in a lesson - he'd been surprised too many times over the years - and so just preferred to make it clear that he considered the matter closed on his end. Sometimes it was all you could do. "I'm also curious to know what made you throw that ball so aggressively at Miss Blaze." More specifically, had it been a case of temper, or had he missed something important, or anything else. "If you have anything you want to say about it, now is the time."
