Those Who Do Harm

"Arsehole." I mumble loudly as I turn to join the trio.

"What did you say?" An angry voice shouts from behind me. I stop in my tracks and release a frustrated breath. Spinning on my heels, I stare at him dead in the eyes. His icy blue eyes bore into mine as he waits for an explanation.

"I said," I begin, speaking each word slowly to be as patronising as possible, "You are an Arsehole." I give him a smile as I finish and watch his face distort in a mixture of shock and anger. He was clearly expecting me to grovel and apologise.

"How dare you?! Don't you know who I am?!" He yells, storming towards me. His brows furrow impossibly further as students around us begin to slowly back away.

"Should I?" I reply, my tone laced with boredom. He smirks at my response, as if his identity will make any difference to my attitude. He stands straighter, making himself appear much taller, especially compared to my small frame.

"Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." He states, his smirk still plastered on his face. I look him in the eye as a small smirk appears on my face. I close the gap between us so our faces are a mere inch apart.

"So?" I state, staring into his angry blue eyes. I roll my eyes and my smirk grows into a chuckle as I walk away from him. The class, still watching, collectively gasp at my response. I hear whispers among them, clearly shocked at my boldness towards this Malfoy.

"You'll regret this!" He shouts after me. "Wait until-"

"Until what? You tell Daddy?" I say as I spin round, beginning to walk backwards. "Spare me." I yell over my shoulder as I turn back, laughing loudly at his arrogance.
