This was going far better than Beatrix could have
ever hoped.
She had known the two-headed boy was impulsive, of course- watching people was a hobby of hers. To have jinxed her in front of the headmistress, however, went
far beyond "impulsive" and right into "really fucking stupid" territory. Really, what made him think it was a good idea?
Pinning his act on Rainfeather
did make Beatrix feel bit guilty. The two girls shared a common enemy, though the redhead didn't know it. Aahva was the
least of that girl's problems- Maergath's tiefling lacky was the
real menace. Still, Susie being a troublemaker seemed to be what Nettlefield wanted to hear, so she'd have to take the fall this time. Besides, when had Susie ever been nice to her? She was the same as the other students, really.
Sniffling, Beatrix looked up at the headmistress. Her eyes rippled slightly. "Th-thank you for standing up for me..." she whimpered, tears flowing freely down her face. "Nobody's ever done that for me before... M-my classmates just tell me I'm a killjoy for sticking to the rules..." She swallowed nervously. "Um... I don't want a reward... I t-think they would want to get back at me if I did..."
Her eyes suddenly grew hopeful. "But, maybe, could you show me how to do that spell? I'm not the first girl who's been hit with that color drain charm, I bet if I could reverse it for people then maybe I..." She trailed off, as if embarresed to have said it. "I mean... if you had time..."
"I am going to be your favorite student, Nettlefield." Beatrix thought darkly.
"Freeing Aahva will be a piece of cake if I have you in my pocket..."*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"This is
not fair!"
Susie, for what seemed like the first time in forever, was visibly angry. Having to clean dirty cauldrons was bad enought, but seeing all those upperclassmen giggling at her when they were paraded through the testing hall was too much. "I hate her!" she spat, aggresively scraping the dried muck out of a large beaker. "She lies about
everything, and she always gets away with it! She such a... such a..." The girl face scrunched up with rage. "Such a
cunt!"
The beaker was clean by this point, but the redhead didn't seem to notice. "I hate this stupid school too!" she muttered, her scrubbing getting increasingly violent. "Everybody is out for themselves, and the people who
aren't get-"
The girl shrieked in frustration as the beaker broke in her hands, glass nearly piercing her hand. "Myyla's underwear! Can't I do
anything right!?"
