It was slightly hypocritical but Alanah’s expression of sarcastic sweetness just made her raise her one of her shapely eyebrows. She found that Adrianne has clearly injected some negative attitude into her ‘best friend’. Phsssh. As if she’d want to make friends with anyone unless she wanted to sleep with them or use them for something, and since Alanah was a Ravenclaw, it was clearly intelligence. The girls were so bitchy together it was amusing, something that Vonna chose to conveniently ignore.

Whilst musing privately on these thoughts, she didn’t fail to recognise the slight hesitation Valentine showed whilst picking a volunteer. Looking across, she’d seen Brett volunteer, but surely since he’d already answered a question (half-answered she felt like adding), the automatic and more obvious choice would be the Ravenclaw Captain. For a second a frown flashed across her sunlit brow in momentary puzzlement. On top of that, it wasn’t as if Brett was a Ravenclaw either. If he had been and accompanied by his good looks, the minor discrimination would have been understandable. But still…

On Valentine’s beckoning, Vonna sauntered across with a sort of casual gait, her haughty features accentuating the fact that she didn’t actually come across as a teacher’s pet. Which made her all the more vindictive when Sirius managed to hiss at her. She turned her head sharply towards him, behind Valentine’s back who she happened to be following and mouthed, “Shut up” drawing a thin line across her throat with her finger to symbolise that she’d kill him when she next got her hands on him. She knew he was teasing since Sirius of all people knew exactly how much of a slacker Vonna actually was when it came to work.

Whipping her head back in the direction of where she was going, she paused slightly realising that she’d been about to walk straight into Valentine, something that normally didn’t bode well. Her Silver Arrow was grasped firmly in her hands and her walk was light. She looked as though she was gliding on the grass, ignoring the brutal glares she was receiving from the Slytherin and her tag-along.
