Not nearly enough to support himself in a real debate.

He had had a feeling that Tanc wouldn't let this go. Hmmm, maybe he should get around to telling him the actual truth. Why not now while they were planning these pointless debates. "Well, erm, ok...it wasn't exactly a prefect meeting. You see, I got an owl a few weeks ago from something called the Order of the Mane, and it sent me a riddle and said it needed my help getting some treasure," he explained, casting a glance back at the professor, who seemed to be paying attention to something else, "And then I found out that other people got those letters too. So, that's who was meeting in the locker room." he finished. He knew that the Hufflepuff would likely ask him more questions, but he wanted to see how he would react at first. Shocked? Annoyed that he hadn't told him sooner?

Tancred couldn't help but laugh. This whole debate thing was pointless. This school was pointless. With another Ministry freak teaching a normal class, that automatically made the class pointless. Now, what was the point of coming back for an education when they weren't really taught about anything? He sighed and said, "Oh. Sorry. I wasn't laughing at what you said. It makes sense. But this class now ... it's just rubbish. I mean ... come on? Debates?" He rolled his eyes and shrugged his shoulders. "Might as well make them happy though. ... Well, what really is the point of not transfiguring them? I mean, there's plenty of their own kind out there. So it's not like you're taking down their entire breed population by tranfiguring a few animals here and there. And about their feelings. I'm sure that there are magical properties that make them feel like the object they're being transfigured to and not notice a thing when they're back to their good old selves." He rolled his eyes again. This was a load of rubbish.

"Oh. I see," Tancred said, not quite expecting there being a secret Order thing - much less a secret letter and meeting. "So ... what expactly does the Order of Mane do?"
