I don't know what everyone's so upset about--lizard skins, bones, eyes, and tails are crucial ingredients in a lot of potions. Me, I'm excited about restocking my supply cupboards; what's all the kvetching about?

Mr. Puckerman, I believe we're due for a meeting before Sunday's match. I'm looking forward to hearing your latest strategy.

I never said you weren't bright, I just said you have a tendency to think inside the box; don't put words in my mouth, professor.

Besides, who said it was for a class? I don't teach Potions anyway--I just happen to have a few students I happen to know could use a little extra help in that area; maybe I'm planning a tutoring session. So presumptuous! I'm a generous guy, you know! So you can tell your little No-Heart Spiel to some other Slytherin, sir.

And more over, what I find appalling is the thought of keeping a gecko alive for its tail and condemning it to confinement in a supply closet. Given the options I'm certain a quick death is the far more compassionate choice.

I don't actually recall the word box ever being mentioned in regards to Hufflepuff. However I will refrain from putting words in your mouth as long as you refrain from trying to pretend you said something you didn't!

And oh dear, I guess I didn't really pay attention to the announcement of your hiring. I had a few more important things to deal with, I hope you'll understand. Some things are just worth more time, after all.

If we were talking about something other than duplicates, then perhaps I might agree with you to an extent- though I would not condone doing so in the way Miss Serkit so was so eager to provide. However, these are duplicates, which you so kindly pointed out previously. Which means they will disappear eventually, along with the tails taken from their bodies. I really don't see why you're continuing to argue on the matter, when your argument just doesn't hold up.

There is no way you can justify this, when you're only doing it for your own, twisted form of entertainment. One of which I will not allow you to let students be a part of.

Oh, no, don't apologize--it's not like I go around tooting my own horn much. I mean, that'd just be rude, right? But hey, we're both professors here, I'm sure you can understand that we're in this for the kids--this isn't about us, it's about the future generations! So maybe I do a little tutoring on the side when I think a student needs that extra help.

Listen, Iroh--can I call you Iroh?--I'm not interested in arguing, but you need to understand one thing: the way I run my house is that so long as a student isn't hurting another student or breaking any rules, I'm more interested in letting them make their own choices. If you want to run every little furshlugginer detail of your students' lives, I'm not gonna stop you. You run your house the way you like, and let me run mine the way I like, that's all I'm asking.
