Rusty makes fun of a girl in his class──────────────────────────────────────────── ✧
It had already been a very long day. The sun was sweltering hot, even though it was mid September. Rusty was sweating through his robes and it didn't help that he had Care of Magical Creatures that morning which was an outdoor class!
All Rusty wanted to do was take a freezing cold shower and then flop into bed in the Regulas Black Dorm downstairs in the Slytherin Dungeons. But unfortunately, Rusty had class. And it was definitely too early in the school year to be skiving off!
So after lunch, Rusty reluctantly made his way to History of Magic on the first floor. He took his usual seat in the back of the class, and dropped his bag next to him. He took out his schedule and groaned as he saw this was a split class with Ravenclaw.
Ravenclaws are the most annoying house in all of Hogwarts. The school nerds all grouped together in one group.
Rusty sighed and dropped his bag next to him. He laid his head on his desk and listened to the scraping of chairs as the other students filled the room. All the kids around him started taking out papers and pencils, getting ready to learn. Rusty just rolled his eyes and turned over on his desk.

I sat down on the first seat I saw, and pulled out my quill and parchment.
The person next to me was a Slytherin boy, who I’d never seen before. I wondered whether he would actually talk to me, but he just shuffled on the desk, looking almost asleep. I rolled my eyes, and looked to the front of the room.
Soon enough, the lesson started. It was all about the wizard’s council, the thing that came before the Ministry of Magic. When the teacher asked a question, I looked around seeing if anyone else would bother trying to answer it. They all seemed confused. Well, everyone except the boy next to me, who was asleep, as far as I could tell. Sighing, I put up my hand.
“It was disbanded because it overlapped with the Wizengamot, and caused political chaos.”
Honestly, we’d just learnt this. Why was everyone so confused? We were third years, for goodness sake, not five year olds.

sorry for late response!──────────────────────────────────────────── Professor Rotanski walked up to the center of the room and began the lesson. Rusty, who still had his head on his desk just sighed loudly to himself. He lifted his head up slight and looked at the girl sitting next to him.
Great. A Ravenclaw.
Rusty was seriously hoping another Slytherin would sit next to him, but he would just have to adjust. The girl had chestnut brown hair and blue eyes. Rusty slightly reconized her, probably just from seeing her around the school.
The professor continued to drone on and on, so Rusty laid back down on his desk to try and pass the time. Rusty was starting to drift off until the girl next to him made a sudden movement. She lifted her hand in the air to answer a question.
It was disbanded because it overlapped with the Wizengamot, and caused political chaos.
Rusty looked up, now frustrated to have been woken from his "almost" sleep. What a typical Ravenclaw know it all. All the other kids in the class were silently listening. Why did she have to get all loud? Just to brag that she knows an answer no one else does? Well guess what Ravenclaw girl. No one cares!
Hey. Do you mind? You're being really loud.
Rusty looked up at the girl and rolled his eyes at her.

When I answered the question, I didn’t expect to be spoken to by the boy next to me. I had thought that he was asleep, having just heard him sigh when I sat down. As he spoke, my mouth opened wide, and I stared at him incredulously, before forcing my voice to stay neutral, speaking in my normal, very quiet, voice.
“Loud? I was answering a question. And I just spoke at a normal volume. Quieter than you just spoke.”
How dare he criticise me for just speaking. Honestly, it was just rude. He was doing a very good job of coming across as a selfish, rude pure blood Slytherin, a stereotype that was well known. Last year, I would’ve just been quiet, and apologised, but not any more.
He rolled his eyes, and I was tempted to do the same right back. Or, at least, give him a piece of my mind. But, getting loud would go against my argument.
I spoke very quietly, and sweetly. “I’m sorry. Would you rather that I failed exams, because I was falling asleep in class?”
I turned away, back to looking at the teacher. But, I couldn’t wait to hear his response!
@Rusty Singer - sorry it’s been ages!
