Evelyn had been listening to alllllll the other answers as she twirled her quill and stared at her notebook, perhaps drawing a few things here and there around her notes, but she was mostly listening to the Slytherin answers.
They were behaving. So far. It was only a matter of time though before one broke the good streak...

Even if you do eat an apple every day, it isn't going to cure you, make you healthy for the rest of your life. So I hate to pop anyone's bubble but it's just a saying, nothing more. It didn't save her." He stopped. Did he really just say that out loud?
He grimaced, he really needs to learn to keep his mouth shut.

Like this one.
Looking over to 'Mr. Bennett', Evelyn frowned even more as he gave his answer. That was true, all of it, and she was a tad confused on what the 'didn't save her' part was about, but a shorter and less dramatic answer would have been just a bit more suitable. The expression about the apple must of hit a nerve on the kid or something.
Sitting up in her seat, the Slytherin seventh year cleared her throat, louder than usual, as she STARED at
him now. Keep it in youngster! Keep it in until the end of class. It wasn't long now.
