She pointed out to her.
“Paris, this is not up for discussion, whether it was your intention to or not, you came across as rude. It is not just about what you say; it is how you say it and until I see evidence of you learning to watch your tongue that will be 5 points from Slytherin.” Truebridge told her, with a level gaze.
“Furthermore, if you wish to get into a discussion about such things, the classroom is the place to do that, and as I have not yet seen any evidence of you being particularly talented in the subject which I teach, it would be wise for you to learn and to listen rather than jump to conclusions and preach on a subject that you are not quite as informed about as you seem to think. Did you wish to take a cookie on your way out?” Ethan offered her the plate, a completely bland expression on his face.
