Speaker A

Okay, advanced students. Today we're going to be working on your Patronus charms or your attitudes. Whichever one's worse. Let's see what you got.

Speaker A

Specto Patronum. Look, Billy's Patronus is a seagull. Yeah, it looks dumb. Jump off a bridge, Tommy. Okay, calm down, kids. It's not Billy's fault. Okay, seriously, can you shut that thing up?

Speaker A

But it's my special bird. Oh, and it needs you to protect it right now from my special shotgun. Okay, put it away. Professor Snider, Travis just passed me a note. Was it to tell you that snitches get stitches?

Speaker A

Yeah, it was. It's real clever, Travis. Can't wait to tell your mother about it tonight. What? I told you to turn that thing off, Billy.

Speaker A

I don't know how. Stop the spell. It's like any spell. How's it still going?

Speaker A

I don't know. If you don't figure it out, I will. I think it's broken.

Speaker A

It will be broken if you don't turn it off, Billy. I will guarantee it. I, I, I can't.

Speaker A

I don't have time for this. Who's next? And, concluding our field trip is the Forbidden Forest, which is known for being a forest. Pretty crazy, right? Let's get back to the castle. Can I go inside?

Speaker A

Great question. No. Why not? Because it's called the Forbidden Forest. 20 questions. But I want to try that on someone who cares. Get roasted. Who's ready to go back to the castle?

Speaker A

When my father finds out about this, he'll, you know what? What will he do? He lame comeback. Five points from Gryffindor. Sir, where did the Forbidden Forest come from? It came from the ground where all forests come from and half our students end up before graduation.

Speaker A

Why is it forbidden? I want to go inside.

Speaker A

Woah. It's forbidden because it's dangerous and someone could get hurt. Now, can we please go back to the castle? But you just—No, I didn't. Okay.

Speaker A

Does everybody have a broom? Yep. Got it. Right here. That's a mop. What? You're holding a mop, Billy. Why are you doing that? Why are you messing with me? I thought it was a broom. Did you look at it? Are you stupid?

Speaker A

Can it even fly? I bet it can fly down. Jump down a stairwell, Tommy. Billy, when I said to get a broom, I didn't mean out of the utility closet. Oh, and how could you not know the difference between a mop and a broom? I don't have any real world experience. Bad excuse.

Speaker A

Five points from Gryffindor. You better pray that thing can fly. Okay, students, make your way up the stairs to Divination and be careful around the stairs, guys. They—Not again.

Speaker A

What just happened to Tommy? He didn't listen is what happened. He just finished fall semester. Is he going to be okay? It's a dumb question, Billy. Five points from Gryffindor.

Speaker A

That's the worst thing that's happened all day. Nice going, Billy. Shut up, Travis. Now, it's 10. Billy, go find that mop again. We're going to need it. It smells better in here than I thought it would. What are you doing in here, creepy Craig?

Speaker A

Oh, hey. Yeah, just hanging out in the girls' bathroom. What are you doing? Getting you out of the girls' bathroom. Oh, okay. How's that going? You got to get out of here, man.

Speaker A

It's not cool what you're doing. Moaning Myrtle's in the boys' bathroom. That's different. No, it's not. This is exactly the same thing.

Speaker A

It's a little different. No, it's not. Yes, it is. No, it's not. Yes, it is. Name two things that are different. I dare you.

Speaker A

I don't have time to debate this with you, bro. Get out. Okay. If Moaning Myrtle leaves the boys, I'll leave the girls. What? Honestly, I don't even want to be in here. I'm doing this for equality. This is about making a point.

Speaker A

Okay. If it's for equality, I'll kill you both. What? No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

Speaker A

Good morning survivors, and welcome back. Today we're going to be learning the violent sport of Quidditch. The first thing you need to know is this is a bludger. Why is it called a bludger? That's why.

Speaker A

Badly timed question. Five points from Gryffindor. Good one. Who wants to go first?

Speaker A

Professor Schneider, my broom doesn't have a seat belt. Yeah, neither does a wheelchair. You want to ride around in one of them?

Speaker A

No. Then I suggest you man up and fly. Is Quidditch safe? No, dude. This is Hogwarts. Nothing is safe.

Speaker A

I don't want to play this. Then why'd you sign up? I thought it was a game. I didn't realize.

Speaker A

This place needs a union. Wingardium Leviosa. Windy. Wingardium Leviosa. Windy. Windard. Ward. No. Windard. Wind.

Speaker A

Windy. Windard. Wind. Windardium Leviosa. Wiener. Garden. Wardium Leviosa. Levy. What? Don't get frustrated with me, Travis. Okay. I'm trying to help you. You're making me mad. I'm doing a good job here. Okay.

Speaker A

Wardium Leviosa. W. Maybe it's my wand. It's not. It's not your wand, Travis. You're saying it wrong.

Speaker A

The Guardia. Wardium. Wendy. Guardian. Windardium. Oh, okay. Okay. Win lasagna.
