He covered the girls' medical expenses and even paid for the damage to the Ravenclaw common room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his attitude so reasonable, Flitwick decided to deduct fewer House Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Arthur followed up by sponsoring Ravenclaw's Quidditch team with a generous donation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Flitwick decided not to deduct any points at all—and even canceled Ranni's disciplinary essay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Ravenclaw girls had started it, and Flitwick wasn't the kind of professor who defended his students blindly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Snape: You're talking about me, aren't you?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meeting ended pleasantly. Flitwick even half-jokingly asked if Arthur wanted to switch Houses.
