Claire knocked on the potion office door, she hoped that miss, Pierce would be in there, she opened the door and saw her. ''Miss Pierce, you said for me to see you in your office?'' she said, now worried of what trouble she had got herself into. She stepped into the room trying not to show her worried expression on her face.

"Ah, yes, welcome Miss Walsh." she said, with a slight smile as she motioned to the seat opposite her. "Please do have a seat."
This meeting would be brief, merely a means of finding ot why this student had been bullying a 'mudblood' and what they could do to prevent it from happening again.

Claire half smiled and sat down, she squirmed slightly in the seat, wanting to get out of the office as soon as possible, why did she have to try the potion? Well at least she knew it was made right. She shook her head slightly, and concentrating on what was going on.

"I won't waste your time if you don't waste mine; sounds fair?" she said, nodding at the uncomfortable looking girl.
"Now that I know why you were late to our last class together, I'd like to know the why of the reason."
She leaned over her desk and clasped her hands together. Looking intently at Claire and attempting to make eye contact, she continued. "You see, I'd like to think my school is full of wonderful students who can see past the prejudices that once blinded an entire generation and brought about the first and second war with Voldemort..."
She went on, "If I have students here who bully others based on blood status, what does that say about my school? What does that say about my students?"

Claire cringed, ''I didn't bully her because of her blood status, it's just 'cause she's really annoying she's forever getting on my nerves so I just get back at her. She just happens to be a . . . muggle born'' said Claire, squirming once again.
''I'm not going to be like voldemort or anything, it's just one person'' she said avoiding looking at miss. Pierce in the eyes. |

"Just one person? She's still a person. Once you justify treating one person that way, it's only a matter of time before that reasoning spreads to treating more people that way. That's the way things go, Claire."
She sighed, then continued. "I'm disappointed, but there's nothing I can do. That's all up to you, I'm afraid.
"I'd like to give you detention, either with myself or your Head of House, and you shold spend some time with this student who you say gts on your nerves. It obviously wouln't be a detention for her, but I'm sure she wouldn't object if she knew the reason behind the task..."

Claire sat in the seat surprised, ''Is that all?'' she said, she had been expecting her to get expelled or suspened or her parents being told, or loads of points taken of her house.
She then nodded, ''I am sorry . . . you know about bullying her'' she said.

Elsbeth sighed once more, less audibly. The girl just didn't get it. "Maybe one day you could even be sorry for the bullying itself, too."
"I suppose that's all for now. I'll speak to your House Head about the punishment, then we'll let you know more details."
{OOC:Not really. One of us will post up your punishment, watch out for that. I need to to tell him first, though.}

Claire nodded again, she stood up and walked out of the room closing the door behind her, she sighed slightly then headed back to her common room. |
