Then he resumed his usual speaking manner as he continued, pacing around the corridor.
"Why, I'd wager that this professor of yours is a rather understanding sort, and actually..." he then drew closer to both of them. "I wouldn't e surprised if you see the Slytherin points go up a little higher if he comes upon this scene."

At the end of her outburst and her sarcastic remarks, Lannes stood there, with a mildly confused gaze on her.

"Were those dyslexia comments sarcastic?"

A pause lulled for a moment and he sensed the answer was yes.

"Regardless, I honestly don't know why either of you have any reason to act so maliciously, most the time I hardly make note of your existence."

Lannes was confused by Kiri and Nancy, why they blow up just for someone correcting spelling mistakes. Despite this being such a trivial matter, it was troubling to Lannes, who was muggle born.

"He is not the understanding sort," Kiri hissed. "And stop walking around like that. I don't like being lectured." She crossed her arms huffily and listened to Nancy, but both of them could have been talking to the stone wall because Lannes simply did not get it. Unless, of course, it was Nancy and Kiri who didn't get it - but what was there not to understand? People were not supposed to write on walls, of course, but Kiri wasn't sure that correcting their spelling was any better. It was still scribbling around on a defenceless (even at Hogwarts) wall.

"'Correcting vandalism'," she said, unfolding her arms and making ridiculously hyperbolic quote signs in the air with her fingers, "would mean cleaning this wall. Actually, I think that could be what we'd be forced to do if Professor Kazimeriz happens to find out. It'd be every wall in the entire castle, of course." Kiri snorted. "Why are we even discussing this? Stop correcting the stupid mistakes. Oh," she added as an afterthought, replaying the boy's comments in her head, "and if you seriously think there's any way we would get additional points for this, I'll have to admit you're the best deadpan comedian I've ever seen."
