"You know perfectly well that the throwing of objects in the CORRIDORS is not allowed, Jake," Winnie said, tossing the ball back to him. "You could have hurt someone...namely me." She screwed up her mouth. "AND you took a photo without asking my permission and...well...it's not as if it's NOT ALLOWED but the lighting down here is abysmal and I'm going to look all washed out." She smiled in spite of herself. "Thumbs up for doing your homework." Then she crossed her arms. "Thumbs down for throwing things. You have a demerit now. And if I catch you playing Muggle dodgeball with the suits of armor in the castle again...well I'll probably give you another demerit. And those add up MISTER."
"But..." Jake froze in the act of stowing his camera away, reaching out to catch the ball the prefect tossed back. "So... I can't throw things... But you can?" the boy raised one eyebrow, looking at the ball he'd just caught.
Demerit. Wut?
"Whassatmean?" Jake asked, scrunching his face up a little. What the heck was a demerit? o.O
