@bludtraitor    *   well, isn’t that utterly embarrassing.  coming from a gryffindor?  the earth should have swallowed her the second before the words reached her ear.   this is exactly why she’d prefer brewing portions with draco.  *      …  are you telling me how to hold a .. knife?  i’m perfectly  (!)  aware,  thank you.  *  barely sparing her classmate a glance,  she turned back to her work,  slowly twisting the knife the other way,  the very action itself hurting her pride.   *   you might want to check out that potion before it’s all over the table. 

@blaesus    hm.   *  she tilted her head slightly,  feigning thoughtfulness.  *    … should we toss them some breadcrumbs? 

@lostgoblets    *   her lips press into a tight line, visibly holding back a retort before exhaling slowly.  she’s been trying this new thing recently — really,  she has!  she lowers herself gracefully into the seat across from him,  exaggerated composure.   then,  unable to help herself,  she begins,  her tone clipped but undeniably dramatic.  *
            
            alright.  fine.  its just— do you think emerald is losing its impact on me?   i wore emerald yesterday,  and  / astoria /  said they were stunning— obviously —but millicent gave me this ...  / look/,  like she was trying not to say something.   millicent !   and daphne said nothing at all,  which is worse,  really,  because she always has an opinion.
            *  she leans forward slightly with narrowed eye,  her tone turning conspiratorial.  *
            i’m not worried about me,  obviously,   but if emerald’s suddenly passé,  someone should have told me.   i refuse to walk around looking predictable,  cedric.  so?  thoughts?   and don’t say you weren’t paying attention again because i swear to merlin—  !

/rude/ much, aren’t you. ( he sighed, rubbing his temple. he could already tell that he wouldn’t like conversing with her. however, he did so regardless. ) if you’d be willing to repeat yourself, perhaps i may listen this time. ( he tried to keep his tone polite. )

@lostgoblets     *  raising a perfectly arched brow, her tone sharp yet,  unfortunately,  very dramatic and in character.  *    of course you weren’t paying attention.  why would you?   here i am,  wasting my brilliance,  and you cant even muster the effort to listen.

@botanies   *  stopping mid-pace,  her hands fly to her hips as she turns to glare at smara,  though no real heat behind it.  *
            well first of all,  i don’t pace,  i strategize.
            my mother sent me another letter this morning.  apparently,  the entire parkinson name hinges on me being more   ‘agreeable’   at social events.   *  she waves her hand dramatically,  as if dismissing the very idea.  *
            agreeable (! )  as if the only reason people aren’t falling over themselves to talk to me is because i don’t smile enough. 
            *   she paces again,  voice rising in mockery.  *    i’m going to set that letter on fire and send the ashes back by owl.  is that poised enough? 

@serpnsortia
                             insulting my level of intelligence won’t diffuse the issues you’re facing.  now will you spill?  or do i have to just sit here and stare as you pace.

@botanies  ,   oh -  i wouldn’t want to burden you with thoughts too complex to handle,  love!  

@sIytherinheir  remind me to send him an owl,  darling— im dying to know where he went wrong !

my dad taught me manners if you must know, pansy. 

@sIytherinheir    why,  who taught  / you / manners?   im curious,  really. 

@serpnsortia    *  oh!

@botanies    ok

@serpnsortia * im reporting u

*  !!

MEEEEP 

!!!!!!

@alohomras   *  her eyes narrowed,  a flicker of annoyance crossing her face as she glanced up from the parchment in front of her.  *
            / pardon me /  for having a personality, granger.   *  she gave a delicate sigh,  her fingers tracing the edge of her quill as she glanced up at hermione.  *
            if you’re struggling to concentrate,  i could always let you handle the boring parts.
            *  her eyes flicked back to the parchment,  though she made no effort to actually focus,  clearly more interested in getting under the other witch’s skin.   *

@serpnsortia   (…) 
            [their similarities are so easily ignored, pushed to different sides in favor of the very glaringly obvious differences of houses and statues.  hermione takes pansy in,  straight black hair and intimidating eyes —  she couldn’t help but envy how effortlessly perfect she looked.  but,  the question in return sours her expression further]    since we MUST complete this assignment together,  i’d prefer if we work in silence (…)  unless of course,  keeping quiet is too difficult of a task for you as it is to read? 

@alohomras   ,    *   the slytherin prefect looked nothing but amused.  the other witch with her perfect grades and genuine intentions was entertaining, truly.  *   ouch, granger. who taught you to be funny?
