Hermione quickly shut up and glared. She couldn’t believe that they were caught and to make matters worse punished. Why did she let herself to be swayed that easy to do something like this? But in her defence, the teacher wasn’t fair, because she wasn’t getting the grades she deserved. Every time, she had done an assignment, the teacher gave her an EE or A, but she deserved an O. When she tried to argue about her grade, Hermione got the same answer that she had to follow instructions and that she was going to start Hogwarts next year, where the marking scheme was much stricter than here. Hermione wanted to get extra credit like in her former school, but it wasn’t accepted and they told her that she had to follow instructions.
