"While it was the Dark Lord in that forest killing the unicorns, Minerva, and who would have gladly killed the students as well, it wasn't the Dark Lord who sent them in there. Nor was it me or the Defense teacher of that year. It wasn't anyone you might believe corrupted by Dark Magic. It was you. You're the one who sent four eleven year old children traipsing into the Dark Forest after a known killer, strong and fast enough in their movements to catch and kill the Unicorn."
"So who is it again who's Dark here? Dark is as Dark does, Minerva McGonagal and right now you're not looking all that Light to me. I should also remind you more Dark Lords and Ladies have come from a strength in Transfiguration than any other field of study. Nor was it Mr. Potter or any of my Slytherins who openly tried to kill someone in the first half of that year. That was your favorite girl whom you claim is a light orientated witch with no dark leanings. But Light witches don't jump to commit murderous actions." Then he pushed the door open and left the hall as she sat there pale-faced and slack-jawed, gasping for air.
Before she could recover Filius decided to attack her statement about Mr. Potter only getting injured when he was places he wasn't supposed to be. Calmly he said, "As for your statement in regards to his injuries, I'd say that's not true either. I distinctly recall him getting injured pretty seriously during more than one game of Quiditch. A game I know Madam Pomfrey told you flat-out he was in no condition to be playing. But you wanted him on the team because you needed a good Seeker that year. You didn't care one bit for his health or safety so long as it got you the trophy away from Severus' house. And every time he wound up warming a bed in the infirmary, Poppy told you it was why she didn't want him playing that game. But you wouldn't listen would you?"
"First season, someone in the teachers section of the stands was hexing his broom. Luckily, he didn't get injured then. But he could've very easily. I also recall you did nothing to aide him. Covering your mouth to quiet your gasps isn't in any manner helping save the life of your student. Nor did you even attempt to help Severus when it was clear his robes were on fire. You kept your eyes on Potter as he fought to control his broom."
"Second year, there was that bludger in the first game of the season. Again you did nothing but cover your mouth and gasp quietly. He suffered a fall from his broom and a shattered elbow if I recall correctly. But that was before the popinjay decided to lend his aide and vanished all the bones in not only his arm but his hand as well. And where were you? Nowhere close if I remember correctly. Albus let you allow your house team removing him from the line-up before any other games could be played. But that wasn't because he was too small to be playing was it?"
"Third year, it was dementors on the field and a fall of more than fifty feet. Again you only arrived on the scene after the fact and did nothing to aide him. Were you hoping he would die, Minerva? Certainly would save you the trouble of trying to get the rest of us to see him as the next Dark Lord wouldn't it? And again you let your house team remove him from the line-up but not out of concern for his safety though that's what you told everyone including him. You only did it because the dementors had interrupted the game and you blamed him for them swarming the field. I seem to recall you walking around muttering about how he summoned them with his connection to the dark side just to cause chaos uncaring of the safety of the students. Mutters your house team picked up on and acted upon to kick him off the team for safety's sake."
He was careful to keep the disgust he felt out of his voice and off his face. He'd long wanted to take her to task over the way she'd treated Mr. Potter and his quiditch skills but hadn't really had the chance before now. She always put the boy back on the team at the beginning of each year but by the time the second Gryffindor game rolled around the boy was always kicked off for one lame reason or another. Usually because of the bad-mouthing of the Unholy Trio. For which she'd always blame Potter when the team lost their game. But that third year, she'd been the one bad-mouthing the boy.
