Hermione confiscates a fanged Frisbee from a fourth year. Amazingly, the fourth year does not tell her to "Step off, bitch!"
I always wonder exactly how this is supposed to work, with students as authority figures. I have a hard time imagining a situation where "Step off, bitch!" wouldn't be the usual response (at the schools I've been at, the teachers would have worse than that said/done to them, especially when confiscating things--these kids must be amazingly well-behaved!)
kind of person would find taking care of animals like dragons at all interesting?
Augh word. I don't understand how this is not the coolest class ever, even with Hagrid teaching. At the very least, you're out of the classrooms and moving around.
Or maybe trying to be scathing but you’ve just got nothing. Just shut up and take class, Harry.
WIN!
And so begins the weirdest story of cheating ever. Harry totally has an unfair advantage in that everyone else is using the wrong instructions, yet he’s still following instructions, so what’s the problem?
I was a little confused when people were raging over this just after the book came out...man, books with the answers written in them were coveted posessions when I was in grade school, and in college, it was the highlighted books with notes in the margins.
