Curt watched as the house elf popped into the room and smiled. He had always been extremely fond of the creatures, and had always deeply respect their magical prowess. However, it was quite obvious that Lord Borr despised the creatures, and right as he was about to talk to Schmoop, as it was properly named, he decided against it. Because Lord Borr began to speak to the house elf in the most disrespectful manner.

Curt just sat tight and watched as as the Slytherin Prefect made his suggestions. Curt smiled at his words, and suddenly piped up himself. "I agree sir, education would make the most sense. Especially since you are doing the educating." He said with a hint of nervousness, he knew he probably went over the top. But from his experience, Borr seemed to respond qutie well with flattery.
