She turned and paced in the opposite direction. "I've been told I have a bunch of hooligan girls on my hands who have no concept of what it means to be a proper lady and witch, and I've been given the task of teaching you... how to be young ladies." She paused and stopped in the middle of the line. "Let me be frank with you lot. I think most of the rules of good propriety were developed in a past time when expectations were different. I refuse to teach you how to hire house elves or housekeeping charms, but I do think there is value in teaching a little basic table etiquette. I promise to make this as painless and fun as possible."

...uh. What?

For a moment, dumbstruck, Issy stared at the Professor. Was she serious? That explained the formal robes - being all dressed up and classy. But this was not... no. NO!

"Professor," called Issy in a timid voice as she raised her hand. "Ehm... this is Defense Against the Dark Arts though. Couldn't that... be some other class...? Like... How to be the Bell of the Ball"?" Blinking, she bit the inside of her cheek, wondering if she'd been being too cheeky. Scratching the back of her head, she shook her head at Melly.

"This... is defintiely not normal," she muttered.
