Ernie let out a low hiss of air as he glanced around the room with increased anxiety, his eyes flitting between the Ravenclaws and Professor Carrow. Really, in an arena where you needed to pick your battles, especially after the past couple of weeks of Unforgivables in DADA, was this really the battle worth picking? Professor Carrow was infuriating, sure, but also an inbred cow with nothing more than anti-muggle propaganda. Nearly everyone in the room knew how absurd it all was.
It wasn’t that Ernie didn’t understand. He was just as angry. There was a large part of him that wanted nothing more than to stand up and walk out of the classroom, because he didn’t think for a second that his birthrights had been infringed upon by muggles. And there was no denying that his resolve to sit back and watch and not get involved was wearing thin, but this was just not worth getting a detention over. She was not worth getting a detention over. Especially with how dangerous detentions were getting.
He just wanted them all to get through a lesson without detention. Just once.
