George chimed in with a nod, "I was in Transfiguration class just a minute ago. I don't even know what happened."
"I can confirm that," Professor McGonagall interjected. "They were indeed in my Transfiguration class."

"I didn't! I didn't!" Millicent shouted, her face flushed. "You're making this up!"
"Ah, disrespecting a professor..." Sirius raised an eyebrow in mock surprise. "Another ten points from Slytherin."
Millicent looked ready to explode. She glanced around, hoping for support, but the Slytherins near her edged away.
