And?
He cast a Vanishing Charm, and the green and golden frogs that remained in the classroom disappeared, leaving the class free of frogs and any bits of chocolate splattered around. "That's -" Fifteen points each to Ravenclaw and Gryffindor? Both houses had shown equal spirit and co-operation, the two factors he had been looking for, aside from good casting. Equal competitiveness too, even though he hadn't meant for that to be the focus. But then, even if he couldn't pick a clear winner, Ravenclaw had managed to save a little more of their chocolate frogs than Gryffindor. "Twenty points to Ravenclaw and fifteen to Gryffindor for spirit and co-operation."
"Class dismissed. Homework will appear on the notice board outside the classroom, shortly."
....
"There's a box of chocolate frogs here." He glanced down at his desk. "In case someone's hungry... grab some."
Just saying.
Charley felt like jumping with joy, but she avoided an excessive reaction because of her best friends, and instead grinned widely then turned and looked at Belle and Jaina. "I'll go get us a couple frogs, and we can wait outside a few minutes to copy down our coursework." She went up to Professor Descoteaux's desk, and grabbed six frogs, putting them in her bag.
"Thank you
so much for the
wonderful lesson today, Professor. I
really enjoyed it," she said with a wide smile. She went over to where Benjamin was sulking and gave him one of the chocolate frogs, then gave Belle and Jaina two each, leaving one for herself in her back. She took out her a piece of parchment and a muggle pen so she could copy down the work.
