"So you wouldn't shag anyone?" I ask dubiously.

"I don't believe this is an appropriate question."

"Out of the whole school, not one person?"

Professor McGonagall sighs irritably and looks up from her corrections. "Miss O'Connor, if you're unable to continue your detention without asking indecorous questions, I'd be happy to hand you over to Argus Filch and you can serve your last hour with him."

"Am I that much of a distraction to you, Professor?" I tease good-naturedly, giving her a cheeky shoulder roll.

"Miss O'Connor.." she starts in a warning tone.

I gasp in pretend shock, placing a hand over my chest. "Am I the one that you want to shag? Of course I would say yes but our love is forbidden. A student and their educator. Oh how romantic, written in the—"

"Asking of me Minnie?" I joke, trying to quickly bypass the topic.

"Yes in fact I was," she admits with a sigh. "Aster, I'm worried about you."

At the end of fifth year, every student has a meeting with their head of house where you tell them what you're planning on doing with your life and they assist you on choosing what subjects you should pick for your remaining two years. Let's just say that the meeting didn't exactly go to plan because of my honesty.
