Paul wasn't quite certain if the girl was trying to be smart with him or not. He straightened up and examined the girl for a moment, thinking she must be a little strange. "Right then. You, lad, leave yer broom on the side there and grab a comet," he said, pointing to Edd, and indicating where the comets were. "When we're done here, you can do an extra four laps 'round the pitch. As fer you then girl," he said, turning to Tonya, "that'll be 5 points yerself then, five fer yer man fer being late as well." He smiled reassuringly and rubbed his cold hands together.

"Right then, nevermind all that, let's get the class started so." He announced, smiling to everyone, even the students he chastised.

Hearing Tonya, he turned his attention back to her. "What's that now?" He asked, looking to Serilda. "You sure yer alright there girl? Would you want to see the healer? Or I can take a look at it once we get class started, how's that?" He asked, genuinely sounding concerned.
