It was with a huff that Elspeth exited the carriage. She had payed him back for the insult, and hopefully that was the last of that. She had no desire to waste her time on someone like him, and if he decided that he wanted to continue antagonizing her, well...
It was him against her, and for Elspeth, that was all that really needed to be said. She was no a bully, she did
not bully, but she
was a true-blooded Slytherin. Pettiness and bullying were an ill-fit on her, but a thirst for vengeance came as naturally as breathing.
She made a mental note to ask the House Head about that boy. He was not a 4th year, but she knew 5th years and above, and still did not recognize him. He might simply be a very delayed 3rd year, but somehow she doubted that.
Making her way through the Great Hall improved her mood greatly. The familiar setting and charged atmosphere never failed to excite her like it did when she was a first year. Making her way through the flock of students taking their seats, Elspeth spotted a familiar face in the crowd, and took a seat next to her.
"Hello Piper," she greeted. The girl was a talented dueler, and a wonderful sparring partner for her; possibly the only one more unpredictable that her was Jaxson, and even then, he was a dedicated duelist whereas she was not.
"You look troubled." The girl did indeed look ill at ease, a stark contrast to her usual demeanor.
