So, she pretended to think about it before finally replying," He has been a little...off this year, Sir. He's constantly ditching all of us friends and he hasn't even taken the time to torment me for being a Mud- A Muggleborn, sir." She pretended to look a little bit scared at the "memories" that were brought up.
