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."
Steelsheen's mouth fell open, but no sound came out. This is her first DADA class? How to be a proper lady? Instead of the basics of Defense, she gets a lesson straight out of a girls' finishing school?
Steelsheen wanted to protest, but after a few attempts at trying to formulate words, ended up shutting her mouth. Well, no wonder the Headmistress was none too happy. She crossed her arms across her chest and looked away, trying not to let the immense dissapointment show on her face.
