Honoria Sandoval!

I could not believe my eyes tonight at supper.

Honestly, do you have no mirrors in the Gryffindor dormitories? What could possibly excuse your coming to a meal with your tie untied, your collar smudged and crumpled, and your robe buttons undone? And there you sat, slouching so low in your seat, everyone must think you never had a single lesson in comportment in your life!

I realise that many of your table mates know no better than to lean on their elbows and dangle their hair in their soup, but no Sandoval has ever, ever put on such a slovenly display in all the history of our family.

Have you lost all sense of yourself?

Mama will be so distressed when she reads the owl I've been forced to send. And I can only imagine what Papa's response will be.

The utter unreasonableness of this admirably illustrates my first point.

You really don't like it when people praise or commend your sister, do you? I wonder why?

I will see you at the Prefects meeting tonight, where I'm sure you will explain why I have lost yet more points for making this reply.

Fine. Honoria's probably earned enough today to make up for 'em.

And five more.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

That's rich.

And totally worth the points.
