"Something should have been said when they started in on the boy in the first place! It wasn't just one attack against the boy, it was multiple and it was mean; how young does he look? He's clearly one of the new students, and he's being expected to act like what? A seventeen year old? And then after being threatened, called lazy, having his book taken away and being asked if he was really sorted into this house in front of every one in this room, do any of you actually think he's going to apologize or something? Merlin knows I wouldn't! That's cruel. Since when do we treat our housemates that way? How is that rising above others who think of us as the lesser house, or even showing we're not when we treat each other with so little respect? It's hypocritical. He's a CHILD. We're all children, but two wrongs don't make a right and it's sure not the way to FIX things!" Gaaaaaaah.

He just did not understand her, did he? "That's not what I'm saying!" Katie cried out of frustration, feeling that her words, or rather concerns, were falling on deaf ears. She rubbed her forehead, turning her gaze from the Prefects to Nova. "I know that the house cup competition is fun, I know all of that and I agree. I like competitions just as much as the next person, what I AM saying is making it sound like work is not fun. The wizarding world will not end if we lose points, the game is not over; overreacting about it, especially to a small kid" She gestured offhand to the boy, Simon, "is not encouraging, fun or anything good in the least. Who wants to be part of something when they're being told their housemates won't like them anymore if they lose points?!"

"... I quit." Katie had enough of the meeting, the debating, ALL of it. He didn't seem to understand where she was coming from or what she was trying to say at all, or maybe he just wasn't listening right. But she was through. Grabbing the picture she had gotten only a couple hours earlier, she carefully folded it a few times before stuffing it into her backpack, which she then scooped up Nova from her lap in one hand stood, swinging her bag onto her shoulder. She looked to Cedric apologetically, cheeks warm, mumbling "Sorry to cut our conversation short, Ced. I'll try to find you later or something?" leaving her question hanging, the fourth year turned and marched through the lounge, exiting through the portrait door swiftly.

Okay then. He watched as the girl stormed out. Not really something that he had wanted to happen, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Are there anymore questions? Anything wanting to be added?" Or he would end the meeting and have a talk with Cadence and Rhea.
