Hmph. And while Evelyn was at it, she claimed this desk right here. Away from any pesky Ravenclaws.
Neptune pursed her lips, the Bott-line-of-disapproval making a special appearance just for Evelyn. Neptune hadn't been taking a jab at the VERY jab-worthy Syltherin; she'd just been stating facts. Evelyn wasn't gracious or graceful, or even a little bit kind like a hostess should be. Or a waitress, for that matter. It was just TRUTH.
And see? Not serving Neptune? SEE? Neptune crossed her arms and wore her smug I was right, SEEEE? face. Quote:

Cade would never tell someone their ideas or opinions were wrong if she could help it, but she absolutely believed the girl could serve cookies. It was simple.
"Perhaps you'd like to offer your classmates some lemonade? And while you're doing that, we should begin." She waited a moment, hoping everyone was truly settled and snacking and ready for class.
Be gentle?
"My name is Caedwyn Howard, and I am employed at the Ministry of Magic in Magical Law Enforcement. Specifically, I am the Unregistered Animagus Investigator. To preempt any questions... no, I am not an Animagus myself. However, I am currently in training to become one and, aside from a trained Transfiguration academic, I'm probably best able to talk to you about this fascinating topic."
Not to mention she had an 'in' at the school and was always willing to do a favor for Uncle Headmaster. "Now then... some of you may be aware that at the Ministry, we keep a detailed registry of all current Animagii in the country. I'd like to discuss it briefly with you by way of an introduction. Why do you suppose the registry is so important?"
Rookie mistake. Not only did Evelyn lack all the common courtesy a cookie-passer-out should possess, she also lived in a dungeon. Bacteria hands, much? Ew. Neptune wasn't eating a cookie now anyway.
....and Neptune wasn't meant to be on lemonade duty right?? Surely that was a mistake. She was Neptune Bott. Someone that worked at the Ministry should know as much.
Hmph.
Neptune raised her hand. "The registry is sort of meddlesome if you ask me." And she had, so there. |
