I haven't had a problem with any classes since I cursed that imbecile a few weeks ago. I'm considering doing something similar at the start of the school year. It should prove to the children that they oughtn't misbehave in my presence.

At the least, when I'm in charge of Slytherin I'll have to make sure that the students understand their place and mine. I will, of course, support them against the other houses. I recall what spoiled children can do when they think they can get away with it. The Swine used to get away with it.

Not on my watch! There won't be any bullying while I'm head of Slytherin.
