Winona never viewed Defense Against the Dark Arts as a favorite school subject, but this did not stop her from studying with the utmost care and attention. It was not surprising to her in the slightest that she got an O on the first quiz of the year. However, being approached by a girl she did not know was indeed surprising. It was a rare occasion for other students to willingly talk to her for some reason. With blue eyes and blonde hair, the Ravenclaw girl looked rather pretty. There was nothing wrong with her attitude either, but to her bad luck, Winona happened to be in a bad, grumpy mood for the day.

With an arrogant expression on her pale face, Winona responded, "Yes, that's me." The Slytherin could not be bothered to ask for the other student's name - even if she did, she would most likely forget it anyway. The blonde girl's polite request for help made Winona chuckle for a second, in a rather demeaning way. "You know, not everyone has to become a duelist or something. Just accept the fact that you are incompetent." a cocky little smile appeared on the Slytherin's face. Deep down, Winona really wanted the girl to talk back with a similar level of rudeness, just so that her uncalled hostility could be justified.

The girl was indeed named Winona Kristiansen. She didn’t appear to be too friend though, she looked kind of grumpy even. "You know, not everyone has to become a duelist or something. Just accept the fact that you are incompetent." Winona said. I was shocked. I didn’t expect her to be mean, even if she was a Slytherin, that’s not what I thought of them. All I wanted was a little bit of help with some work, she didn’t need to be all rude about it. Winona started to smile a little bit. Huh, pleased with herself for acting like that?! I thought. “ You don’t need to be all rude” I said to her. I’m sure she was probably happy that I was talking back to her, but I didn’t care. “ And Yeah, i know not everyone has to be a duelist, your not, so why are you just being a push-over!” I asked her. That’s what a push-over would do right, I asked myself, I couldn’t make any mistakes right now, this was probably going to turn into an argument. I had to watch what I was saying, Winona could use anything I say against me if I’m not careful, she’s a second year too, so she knows more about rules and Hogwarts than me. I glared at her.

For some reason, it was fun to watch the younger student get offended and listen to her defending herself. Winona crossed her arms and stared at the Ravenclaw girl. The Slytherin's hazel eyes had a sparkle to them, similar to a cat ready to chase its prey, indicating her excitement to start arguments and fights. It was a twisted sense of entertainment, yet it still felt natural to Winona.

"A push-over? Pfft," she laughed off the accusation coming her way before continuing with her rude words. "I'm sorry that you're lacking the talent and intellect to be successful, but I am not the one you should be angry with." While speaking, she sweetened her voice on purpose to pretend she was talking to a much younger child. Despite saying sorry, an apology was the last thing Winona meant. She was indeed just testing more ways to offend the blonde girl.

The Slytherin could not help but let out a little giggle before she continued to look down on the other student. "You won't get anywhere if you mistake the truth of rudeness." To some extent, Winona did believe she was telling the truth for the time being, just exaggerating her words for her own, narcissistic entertainment.

Winona was crossing her arms, smiling, and even giggling a little bit. She thinks that being a pureblood Slytherin means she can do and say whatever she wants I thought. "I'm sorry that you're lacking the talent and intellect to be successful, but I am not the one you should be angry with." Winona said. She wasn’t the one I should be angry with? Her?! I could feel my blood boiling, my face became red, she wanted to argue with me cause I wanted help? I could already feel the hate for this girl coming, she took joy in watching me get angry! “Why are you just seeking attention, is it because your parents never gave you any?!” I screamed at her. Everything around me started to shake, or so it seemed. I didn’t even notice my eyes flickering colours rapidly, either way I couldn’t control it. I had this Duden urge to pull out my wand, I grabbed it out of my pocket but only a few inches before I stopped. What am I thinking, I only know a few spells, Winona definitely knows way more than me, this might not end well. I don’t want detention either. I thought to myself. I pushed my wand back into my robe and thought of something to say to her. “How sad is your life that this is how you get entertained?!” I said, trying to keep my anger contained.

Winona frowned and responded in a much darker, threatening tone, "Talk about my family one more time, and I'll have no problem mopping the floor with you." Her attitude was probably a result of being given too much attention from her parents. Winona was indeed acting like a spoiled brat.

The Slytherin's little giggles came to an end with the response from the blonde girl. Watching her eyes change in colors was an interesting sight; it reminded Winona of her best friend from her first year, whose hair would change colors in unexpected situations. That could have been a reason for her to hold back her hostility to an extent, but now the Ravenclaw was also starting to get provocative.

"Oh dear..." the younger girl's struggle to not give in to her anger was apparent. Deep down, Winona wanted her to bring out her wand, just to have an excuse to cast a couple of spells at her. She knew that if she was the one to start a fight, she would definitely get sent to detention. So the cunning girl continued to do what she knew best: to provoke and anger the other. "I'm not the only one you're entertainment for!" she tried her best to come off as unconcerned. "Look at yourself. A pretty face, no brains, no personality. What is there to not laugh about?" She continued after letting out a sigh in annoyance. "Pfft. What a fool."

This girl was spoiled rotten, she thinks she can get away with anything huh I wondered. I was sick and tired of her thinking she was superior to me, and probably to everyone else too. “Why is it you barely have any friends Winona huh? I wonder, is it cause of your rude personality, the fact that you think you’re the best when in reality it’s quite the opposite, is it cause you’re a narcissistic perfectionist? Tell me?!” I said to Winona. She wanted to argue and I was gonna let her. I could tell Winona was trying not to look concerned, I hope she knew that no one really supported her right now, I mean no one could right? All I did was ask for help and congratulate her on her good mark and she went all ballistic on me! “I always see you buried in books, but it’s not really to get smarter is it, or is it just to prove yourself? What do you even need to prove, that you’re a cold hearted girl who thinks she can do whatever she wants since her family has money? Trust me, we know already!” I was running out of breath at this point, from screaming at Winona, like, what was her problem?!

Hearing judgment about prioritizing studying over socializing was not offensive or frustrating, but odd. It was difficult for Winona to grasp why academic success would not be something to be desired and praised for. That only supported her belief that the girl she was talking to was indeed inferior to her in many ways.

"How could you, someone with the intellectual level of a pygmy puff, even understand what it's like to strive for success?" The Slytherin stood still and kept her voice at a reasonable level while the other was yelling at her. "You can go and play with your friends all you want. But when I become one of the most successful witches in the world, you'll feel lucky that you even got to see me in person." That was her ego talking, obviously.

With her determination and hard work, it would not be too far-fetched to think Winona could end up being successful in life. But she was talking way too big for her own good. "My name will go down in history books, while yours will be as memorable as a house elf's," she pouted slightly, feeling annoyed with the younger student. "The thing is, unlike you, who is miserable and desperate, I don't need anyone for anything."

Winona was so difficult, I don’t think she realized that there were more important things than academic success, like kindness, bravery, and empathy. Her who was too strong, someone needed to bring it down, wether it was me, or someone else.
An intellectual level of a pigmy puff?! Did she not know what was keeping the headmasters office safe? Winona was keeping her voice neutral, although I was yelling at her, I didn’t care, she was trying to be the better person here? That’s always what she was trying to do, be better than everyone, she needed to know that she’s not. Huh, she thinks that she’ll be one of the most successful witches in history hey? Yeah maybe, most successful at being hated maybe! I thought. ”You tell yourself whatever you need to to keep your ego high as ever honey!” I said to her, as if talking to a baby, maybe she would realize I didn’t think of her any higher than me.
I just smiled, I knew what would happen, she would end up being wrong, I bet Winona knew it too, and then would end up being humiliated by her own words. Mine, as memorable as a house elves? Maybe so, everyone knows about Dobby, and who doesn’t like Dobby?! I thought to myself again. This girl didn’t know who she was talking to, I was going to let karma work itself on her, only small insults from now on. I could already tell that she was getting annoyed with me, let’s just say I’ve had practice on Gracie, my older sister. “I’m not miserable or desperate, that’s only you Winona.” I said. “ Are you sure that you ‘don’t need anyone for anything’ or is it that no one wants you for anything?” I asked her, with the sweetest voice I had. I smirked a little bit.

The argument was going absolutely nowhere, with the girls continuously throwing insults at each other. The enjoyment Winona felt from teasing the Ravenclaw had died out rather quickly, leaving its place to pure annoyance. "You sure are annoying. An insufferable, imbecile, nuisance of a girl, even."

A little grin formed on the younger girl's face after she told Winona how unwelcome she was. This gave her the perfect idea. If this annoying child found the situation funny, Winona was going to let her laugh to her heart's content. The Slytherin took out her wand to cast a spell. "Rictusempra." she said the incantation calmly and clearly while performing the wand movement. It was not too long ago when she herself was targeted by the tickling charm, which felt horrible. Who knew uncontrollable laughing could give you a stomachache and leave you fatigued? Well, it was Delainie's time to learn.

A silver jet of light left the tip of Winona's wand and shot towards the Ravenclaw. "Funny, isn't it? Keep laughing at how pathetic you are," she said with an unamused, blank expression, playing with her wand by moving it from one finger to the other. "I could almost feel sorry for you. But you aren't worth anything, not even pity." not even a glimpse of empathy was apparent in her hazel eyes as she continued with her words of humiliation.
