Patrick just rolled his eyes at Ella. He didn't feel like saying another word. He was too busy trying to pay attention to what their Head of House guy was saying because he really didn't want anymore points to be lost. Isn't that right Ella? He started pondering why they shouldn't get punishment.

Then that Prefect girl or whatever you call them came over and told them to quit their flirting (if that's what you want to call it). "I'm actually trying to pay attention Miss Prefect. It's her that's chatty." He pointed to Ella. Anyway, back to his thoughts and not some girl who's trying to blame him for talking.

Patrick finally thought of something to say. He raised his hand and continued. "Being prideful and loyal to our house sir is what Slytherin's are best at. A lot of people have mentioned that I know. It really doesn't make up for what happened at the feast the other night. Those kids decided to be stupid and now look where its placed us? In negative points. If they were truly loyal to this house they would have not said anything to get us in trouble at all," he replied, leaning against the wall still. Hmm...that's th way he saw it at least.
