So it seemed that Skye would once again have to act the mature one here. She wasn't sure if any of the other three girls would listen to a word she said, but she wasn't going to let them see how that bothered her. In truth, it amde her feel small and rather unloved, but if she'd learned one thing from knowing Enya last year, it was to not show weakness. So she'd act as though it was nothing, if it came to that. First she had to actually do something.

Skye stepped forward so that she was right in the middle of all three girls. She took out her wand and flicked it once, blindingly fast and with the assurance of someone with experience, to untie Enya's shoes before she fell and hurt herself or someone else. She put her wand back into her pocket, and then held up one hand in a gesture of--dare she say it?--authority. "All right. This is going to stop right now. All of you." She looked very deliberately into the eyes of each girl in turn. "Enya, you need to stop blaming everyone else for everything that happens. It will get you nowhere. Some of this was your fault, you know. You're just fishing for things to get angry about and it needs to end. And Louisa, you should stop to consider the actions of your friends before necessarily being so loyal to them. It's an admirable trait, but you can't always side with your friend just to stay on their good side, if you believe what they are doing is wrong. As for you," here she turned to look at the girl whose name she still did not know. "I don't know you, and all I can say is that I hope that this first look at you isn't who you really are. A quick temper like that will only hinder you, especially once you leave Hogwarts." Skye paused for breath, and to calm herself down a bit. "Now, I don't care who's to blame here. This is not what being a Ravenclaw is about. Do you really want to spend your precious time here bickering with each other? The years will fly by before you know it, and soon you'll be finished with your education here, and thinking that it was all a waste." She shook her head disapprovingly. "Now, I don't care who goes where, but I think that all three of you should separate from each other for awhile." She stood there, arms crossed now, her eyes stormy, waiting for them to take action.

As she waited, Skye rather thought that the speech she had given was very impressive. For her at least. Skye wasn't sure she'd said so many words her whole life as the had in the last five or so minutes. Putting herself out there and taking authority like that had made her feel very vulnerable, and she wanted now more than ever to cower back into the shell of shyness that had been last year's Skye. But she kept her stance strong and never showed her discomfort outwardly. Np weakness. Especially not in front of one as vicious as Enya.
