Laurie sat down on the floor dropping her bag with a thud. A third-year had given her something on the way, wrapped in a parcel. She tore apart the paper, to see a self-help book. She groaned, set the book aside and cursed under her breath. Those brats. What did they think she was, some kind of toy to be meddled with? She never cried, no. But today was different. A tear slipped past her cheek and she wiped it away. What was she doing, showing emotion? Emotion is for fools. Laurie told herself that long ago. She was supposed to be the cold, lonely girl everyone steered clear of. Not some crying fool. Her aunt and uncle had raised her better. At least the times when they were there for her. She took out her potions homework and set it down on the table. A four page essay on the Drowsiness Draught and what ingredients are used in it. Laurie took out her quill and just as she was righting, “Valerian is the main ingredient used in the Draught” she accidentally blotter her paper with ink. Great. Just more work to do. She raised her head and saw some Gryffindors nearby, having a conversation. Well, her skill of lip reading had some importance here. “….no friends…..just creepy…alone….cold…I feel sorry for her.” They were talking about her, of course they were. Was she just that to them? A cold girl who might not even be alive? Laurie rolled her eyes and got back to her work. The one thing she could do was keep her grades up to not disappoint her family. At this point they were more like coworkers. Laurie never actually understand what put her in Slytherin. Maybe it was her cold demeanour. Maybe it was her lack of willingness in life. Well she definitely wasn’t questioning it. She was where she was and she could do nothing to change that. There was no point in imagining another life, for it was this one she was present in. She then noticed another Slytherin girl behind the racks. It was almost like…everyone feared her. Just like they avoided Laurie. She smiled, the reason behind the reaction unknown. She then felt a sudden push from behind. Her books fell and skid across the room. Laurie cursed under her breath. Those fifth year Slytherins really were a menace. She then gathered all her books and counted them to see if she had missed one. Sure enough her Transfiguration book was near the next table. The table in which the girl from before was sitting. She hesitantly walked over to her. She knew she would regret this later. “Hi. I’m Laurie. I think my Transfiguration book fell here.” She said the line confidently even though inside she was wincing, waiting for the girl’s reaction.

OOC Note: Sorry for such a short post
Well, she had done it now. She had asked the question. And the girl didn’t…seem so happy about being disturbed. That was an understatement. It had been a long time since anyone had openly talked to her like that, and, strange enough, she actually found it quite funny. Like she saw herself in the girl. Just a little bit. While everyone else was too scared to say exactly what they thought, she wasn’t.
But, hey, if she was going to speak like that, Laurie wasn’t going to miss the opportunity to speak in her mother tongue for once.
“Haven’t seen it? Then you don’t have eyes, clearly.” As she said that, there was a bitterness in her voice, while underneath she was stifling a hint of a smile. No, she couldn’t let her see. That would just give a boost to the girl’s ego, which was high enough already. She'd been told hers was high too, and maybe it was.
Laurie studied the girl. Sharp features, cold sneer. Had it been a different person, they would have been scared of her. Laurie was just amused.
“What’s your name? Not that I care…”
She left the statement hanging, waiting for her sharp retort.

As the girl replied with those cold yet sweet words of hers, Laurie simply smiled, knowing that it would irritate the girl more. Yes, it definitely worked. She could see her jaw tightening. Just to irritate her further, Laurie sat down instead of going away. She almost smiled at the irritated look on the girl’s face. Oh, how she missed those days when she could talk freely about people without them judging her so-called upbringing.
“No, I most definitely haven’t heard of you. And, you should learn to respect your elders. If the word respect even is in your very limited vocabulary.”
She looked over the girls essay, thoroughly impressed by her writing skills. She even used her commas properly. Not bad for an idiot. Of course she wasn’t going to tell it to her, so she acted as if the mere sight disgusted her.
“How old are you? 4? Please, even a three year old could write something better than that rubbish.”
Just as she said that, a journal fell out of her bag.
Nononononono. It just had to be her songwriting one. She scrambled to pick it up before the girl saw. That was the one thing that kept her sanity intact, this couldn’t be happening.
