CASSIOPEIA STORMED INTO THE GREAT HALL, RAGING. She made a beeline to the Slytherin table with a piece of parchment clutched in her fist. Her icy eyes were shining brighter than ever and her lip was curling much more than usual. Everyone could practically feel the anger that was seeping out of her. It was never a good thing when Cassiopeia Coldwell was angry.
Draco looked up from his Ancient Runes homework with a cruel smirk on his face. He had been waiting for her to show up. Cassiopeia scowled as she marched up to him and slammed the paper down on the table. She shoved it towards him, "Care to explain this?"
"What about it?"
"Tell me why I received a Poor on the essay about Antidotes and a Dreadful on my Wit-Sharpening Potion! We had a deal, Draco. You would do my potions work and you would do it right!"
"Yeah? Well, that was before you decided that I wasn't good enough for you."
Cassiopeia looked at Draco in shock. He couldn't be serious. But by the cold, nonchalant look on his face, Cassiopeia could tell that Draco wasn't trying to be funny nor did he really care that he failed Cassiopeia. She said angrily, "You screwed me over! You did this on purpose!"
Draco nodded, still not caring, and went back to deciphering runes, "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."
Cassiopeia shook her head in disbelief, "I can't believe you! I thought we were friends."
"Yeah, until you left me! Do know how embarrassing that was for me?"
"Do you know how uncomfortable it was for me? I can't believe you're still hung up about this, Draco. You're going to throw away fourteen years of friendship over a bruised ego? Really?"
"You really are insufferable," Draco scoffed, gathering up his Ancient Runes work and shoving it in his bag. "No wonder nobody asked to the dance."
Draco began to walk off. Cassiopeia felt the anger inside her boil. She had never seen Draco act this childish. He had gotten pretty close in the past but this was a new record. She hadn't anything to him. This was his fault.
She pulled out her wand before Draco could even reach the end of the Slytherin table. "Cadere!" Cassiopeia uttered, waving her wand. A jet of purple light burst from the tip and hit Draco in the back. He stumbled before falling down onto the cold stone floor of the Great Hall. The Great Hall erupted into laughter and Crabbe and Goyle were rushing over to see if Draco was okay. Cassiopeia rolled her eyes at them. All she did was trip him, not snap him in half.
She shoved her wand back in his pocket and grabbed the piece of parchment as Professor McGonagall came rushing over. She lectured Cassiopeia on how she couldn't use magic on another student outside of class and took away ten points from Slytherin.
But Cassiopeia was too angry to care. She muttered, "Whatever," and stormed off out of the Great Hall. She walked down the stairs to the dungeons, heading back to the Common Room to redo the work that Draco messed up. A couple of first year Hufflepuffs emerged from their Potions class but jumped out of the way as Cassiopeia rushed past them, sending them a cold glare. She didn't stop until she heard someone calling her name, "Cassie! Cassie!"
