Minerva McGonagall: "May I offer you a cough drop, Dolores?"
Dolores Umbridge: "Oh, no, thank you very much. I just wondered whether I could make the teensiest interruption, Minerva?"
Minerva McGonagall offers Dolores Umbridge a cough drop after she loudly clears her throat in order to make an interruption[src]

A cough drop is a small, medicated tablet intended to be dissolved slowly in the mouth to temporarily soothe coughs.

History[]

In 1996, during Harry Potter's Careers Advice session with Professor Minerva McGonagall, Dolores Umbridge tried to interrupt by loudly clearing her throat. An incensed McGonagall offered her a cough drop in a curt fashion, without even looking at Umbridge.[1]
