Tears
Did he have to do it at the feast?
The year had been an uphill climb for Slytherin. Other students hated us. Professors were biased toward their own houses. The house cup became a way to prove that we were just as good as anyone else. We worked hard for those points. For that feast.
It was bad enough that we lost it. But to lose it in such a public way was heartbreaking. Certainly they deserved recognition. But so did we.
There were tears in the Slytherin dungeon that night.
I do think that was kind of a low blow.
