"I'd watch your tongue in my presence, Lafay," the Headmistress warned in a low tone, dropping all titles of respect as she looked up darkly from her chair.
She wasn't even upset about what the woman was saying to her. No, she was upset with how she was behaving toward the groundskeeper. It was uncalled for and highly unprofessional. "If you have a problem with Mr. Gibbins' reaction, you can come to me, as he did. Otherwise, I'd suggest keeping that venomous mouth of yours shut."
As for her prissy little points-obsessed stepdaughter... "I'm well aware of Sierra's academic record, being that I am Headmistress of the school she attends," she continued calmly, though her tone was the equivalent of a dip in a frozen pond. "I am not accusing you of anything. I am instead implying that perhaps she takes after you in her lack of compassion and concern for her peers' well-being. Being book smart does not necessarily mean she has the interpersonal leadership skills necessary for a Prefect. If she had she exhibited such skills at the train station, we wouldn't be here now, would we."
Yes, she had just insulted the potions mistress and her child in the same breath. What was Lafay going to do about it, huh?? Get herself fired? HA! She was welcome to!
"No. The. Train. Stopped. Working. For reasons which remain UNKNOWN." She spelled it out for the potions mistress as if she were hard of hearing and/or an idiot. Annie was starting to conclude that she really must be the latter. "The injuries..." she looked to Gibbins, "were apparently caused by students landing on top of each other? when their portkeys took them to the station."
