"Yes sir; I'll certainly take your lessons to heart. Though I must admit it was less a matter of pity and more a matter of it just being distasteful to see, like dining on a five course meal while sitting in a barn. Perhaps it will help us build character, though I am concerned that it might affect the appetites of my House mates." he said politely. Oh well, he had tried.

This boy, who was just that - a boy, was not worthy of a gold throne. What EXACTLY had he done? NOTHING. He needed to learn his place, and as Lord Borr saw it, it was beneath him on the floor at the moment. "Perhaps I'll have you do it for me," Lord Borr smiled his wicked smile. He liked this boy, but he would learn his place.

And I will see you, Mr. Wendleworth in my lounge later. You too," Lord Borr pointed at the Prefect boy. He did not extend the invitation to Mr. Potter.
"I'd be honoured, sir." He smiled and bowed his head politely.
