Blaise stood and gave Lily a warm smile. "I should get going myself. Thank you, Mrs. Potter for having us," he said with a nod before looking at Harry. "I'll see you back in the dorms or around Hogsmeade here later."

Harry nodded and watched Blaise as he showed himself out the front door. Harry turned to look at Lily and nodded. "I know," he agreed with a sigh, slouching a little bit on his chair. "She's horrible, Mum. I've seen kids come out of detention with her rubbing her palms. I'm not sure what she's doing in there and thankfully I haven't been subjected to her detentions, but it doesn't seem right." He knew when to assert himself and while he disagreed with her teaching methods, he knew when not to bother. This was one of those cases.

He exhaled a breath and slid a hand over his face. "Half of my house seems okay with her and the other half, like Blaise and I, know that what's happening isn't right."
