Maxton was smart, she knew he HAD to be, but sometimes his answers made her want to crawl into a hole. He was her OTHER HALF in the Slytherin leadership and consequently, HIS bad answers made HER look bad.

At least that's what she thought.

Natalie, unable to let his answer slide, (due to her need to be seen as practically perfect) raised her hand. "Professor, I think what Max meant to say was that humans need sun to survive. The sun provides Vitamin D, which is something that we all need to function at high capacity. So, when we go soak in the sun, we consequently are able to get tan. Or sunburned."

Was she done? No. "Furthermore, the sun provides heat to the earth. Without it, we would freeze to death." To say the least.
When Natalie started jabbering on adding to his answer, Max sent her all the LOOKS from across the semi-circle. He was flabbergasted. Had his answer really been that terrible??? Because HE didn’t think so. Sure, maaaaaybe he could’ve elaborated a bit more but the reason he hadn’t was down to pure laziness, not because he was dumb.

His eyes narrowed and he waited until she was quite done before he raised his own hand again. “Professor,” he piped again, eyes still on Natalie and a mischievous grin slowly creeping to his lips, “I think what Natalie is trying to say is that human beings need heat to survive. We absorb the warmth from the sun through our skin and our bodies convert it into the energy we need to live. We’re not furry like most creatures are so our bodies rely on the extra heat from the sun to keep us going.”

Two can play at that game little miss smarty pants know it all.
