Professor McGonagall's polemic against unruly students often leaves them so contrite that it makes them ill enough to seek help from Madam Pomfrey to make them salubrious again. However, while McGonagall may come off as a martinet, she can also be surprisingly blithe at times.

contrite: deeply sorrowful, repentant for a wrong
salubrious: healthful, curative
