Hops too, had sat silently and watched the interchange between the Slytherin students and their Head of House. He himself had never really gotten in trouble while at school so it was nice to actually see the handing out of discipline but the woman's...unorthodox way of punishing the whole house distrubed him. When the girls left he gave them a small smile on their way out the door and rested his tea cup on his knee. He was going to have to say something, but Cassandra beat him to it.

Throughout her speech, Harold nodded. The Board couldn't afford to keep paying staffers the additional payment they recieved for being a Head of House if they were going to abuse or shirk their duties. A reevalutaion was most certainly needed. Cassandra was leaving and Hops decided he should too. He drained his cup and stood to open the door for the President. "Afternoon Hecate." He could tell the woman looked troubled but his budget needed every last Knut, Sickle and Galleon it could get.
