Im-im-impossible!!
"Sometimes I wonder if she has a 'Good' side. She certainly has a 'nice','sickly sweet','Stepford Satanist' side, but I don't think she has a 'good' side" He stepped up from his chair and pushed it in behind him, opting instead to lean against one of the cabinets. All the sitting around was making his restless. "She's technically the headmistress, but she's not our headmistress. Some of us were at school before Umbridge and Snape. We were young, sure, but we still remember back when you could have fun at Hogwarts" He gazed down towards his sandwich eating classmate "C'mon, Stan. This is a safe space. She's not going to be pressing her ear against the common room door to try to catch us talking a little bit of smack" He could imagine the sight now; the Headmistress leading against the wall, repeatedly smoothing down her cardigan in the fear of it getting caught on a splinter from one of the barrels. Even if she could hear through those enchanted walls, he doubted she would stay for too long, in fear that being pressed against concrete would mess up her perm. But if she did find them out... He shuddered to think what punishment she would devise. It would be far greater than the subtraction of house points, that's for sure. He had only heard rumors of the foul torture she had inflicted upon her students: scaring lines, vile truth potions and even the direct use of torture curses. It had been the talk of the school when he was in his third year. God only knew what new ideas she had developed since. "Just... remind me not to say any of this to her face...""Ah, Kit!" Stanley said with a grin as he made himself known. "I didn't even notice you!" He said, followed by a light chuckle and another bite out of his sandwich. After adjusting his glasses by pushing them back onto the bridge of his nose with his index finger, Stanley continued, nodding in agreement with Wisteria's words.
"The plants here Hogwarts are quite fascinating, really. And with the different remedies and conditions you can make from them with the help of herbology, the possibilities truly are endless. Though, I agree, Care of Magical Creatures is also an interesting subject, perhaps even more so than herbology." Stanley said, though he would quirk a brow in Yaser's direction when he insulted their headmisteress.
"Although I'm not particularly fond of Ms. Umbridge either, I think that it would be best if we don't casually insult her like that." Stanley would then rub the side of his head and let out an exasperated sigh. "After all... the last thing any of us want is to be on her bad side..."

"True, but even then, muggles aren't taught everything about their subjects at school either. It's just discerning that they're cutting the only real self-defense class. Needed or not it might be a nice thing to know""I see your point, though wouldn't it be beneficial to have this knowledge anyways?" Stanley said as he interlocked his fingers and brought them up to his mouth, as if contemplating in deep thought.
"Regular schools teach math, science, english, and social studies, after all. Granted, Hogwarts is definitely no ordinary school, but it is still a school nonetheless."
