Severus gave a firm nod in response to the boys words. Settling himself down in his chair he pulled out a piece of parchment upon which a list of all the extracurricular activities, their times, number of allotted slots from each year group along with who would be leading what activity from the stack on his desk. He was just about to start explaining what the schedule was and his role in it when the boy spoke again. Severus looked up frowning intently.<br/><br/>Eyes narrowing as the boy continued on. "I believe you are well aware of the policy I have in place that all Slytherin not be caught doing anything against school rules, are you not? It has after all been the centre piece of every single house meeting I hold. If you are able to remember that far Mr. Crowley you will know there are six every year and often times more so then that if anything comes up of importance. So surely you can and will know that hexing a student before any professor, prefect or head boy or girl falls strictly under being caught! Restraint is also a valued trait. As is cunning, Mr. Crowley do try and remember that."<br/><br/>Pausing for a moment Severus went on quickly, "as for<span style="font-style: italic">Professor</span>Umbridge," he both sneered and corrected the boy's use of her last name. How he wished the dunderheads would realize that he rather liked them to be well mannered in his presence. Was it really that hard a thing to grasp? Severus was evidently far more irritated then he usually was and the cause was not just the boy in front of him. He was just the one to get the full brunt of Severus's temper as the latest thing to get under his skin. Severus continued in a cold dark voice, "will be discussed at the house meeting this evening, if we ever do manage to finish this meeting first that is."<br/><br/>He paused to see if the boy would interrupt him again with another question before he could go over the responsibilities with him. "Good now may we move on?" Severus sneered derisively as if the question was nothing more the a sneered condescension and not an actual question.
