Mordred looked up and chose his next words carefully. “Did you give him any reason to be jealous?” he asked. Not that he was siding with Kennedy, but he thought it was best to ask Aurora first. She might just realize her mistake—that’s if she’s the one who was at fault.
And of course, those parties their mothers throw from time to time. Mordred was neither fond of those parties nor the people who attends it. “If he did change, then it’s best you ask him why.” He shrugged.
He caught sight of a first year Slytherin throwing a chocolate frog on to a Ravenclaw and a resounding “thwack” was heard. He grinned at what he saw and decided to give the boy more chocolate frogs-- in case he needs more. Yes, start them young. He’ll get back to him after his talk with Aurora.
He turned to his friend once more. “There must be a reason why…” he trailed off as he watched Aurora stand up and addressed the first years. He gaped at her words then closed his mouth instantly and waited for her to sit down again. “Slytherin placed last, last year?” he couldn’t believe his ears. They were the champions the last time. He looked again at the first year and it was decided. He will give the chocolate frogs when they get to the boy’s dormitory, and maybe teach this kid a thing or two about subtle retaliation. Hah.
Any REASON?! Why did people keep asking that? She couldn't help it of boys thought she was pretty - it's not like she searched them out.
"I've done nothing." she said flatly. She wouldn't have cared much if there had been a reason for Kennedy to be jealous. It was more the fact he didn't seem to trust her that was angering.
Ask him. Right.
"No point. He'll just pull the victim card - how his father is forcing it on him and he didn't want this. Even though it's clearly becoming part of him and if he was really that bothered by it he could at least act like himself when his dad isn't around." Bitter. That was the word that came to mind after Aurora had finished talking. She was bitter that Kennedy had, in fact, turned out exactly the same as most of the other boys she'd known. But why did it bother her? It had never bothered her with other boys - a lot of her friends when she was younger were brought up, as she was, in Pureblood elitist families and that was normal. But with Kennedy it was different - she had fallen for half blood, shy, blushing Kennedy. She didn't know where that Kenny had gone...
"Dead last. By a long run. Hufflepuff won. Everything." It had been so infuriating...
"Which means we HAVE to win this year... Or it'll be just... Embarrassing." And they couldn't be having that.
