"Well good. I wouldn't like to see you in detention," Ernie replied. Actually, the idea of Hazel being subjected to the Carrow's punishments was horrifying, and he didn't like it one bit. She was entirely too sweet to have to go through that sort of thing, and he worried that detention would break her. And he rather liked her the way she was now.
He shook his head. "No, I haven't. Detentions wouldn't be terribly fitting of my Head Boy status, after all." He managed a smile, though he hardly felt like it. He felt awful about sitting by, not protesting, not being as active in the DA as he honestly wanted to be.
But the thought of who might replace him as Head Boy was enough of a reason to stay in line.
