She was frowning. Agatha was frowning. Good. Adi didn’t really care. He had a lot on his mind. He just glared at the girl who was always rude to him and only had the face to be civilised when she needed his help. So when the fifth year Slytherin raised her hand, he was caught totally off guard and had no time to defend himself.

The slap left him stunned, his cheek stinging and the sound of the slap ringing in his ears. Not even aware that the fliers were no longer in his hands, the Hufflepuff instinctively reached for his wand. His left fist was already around the Hippogriff feather core object but his mind was in gear.

No. He wouldn’t hex a girl. Especially not one he actually liked. Ugh! Why did he have to be so nice all the time? This trait could be so annoying. Yet he need not worry. His revenge was being carried out, just not by him.

Adi went into laughter when he saw what was happening. His two fairies had zoomed off his head and were now attacking Agatha. The shorter one- Ana- was clutching strands of the girls hair in both tiny fists and pulling at them with all her strength while the taller one was tugging at her right ear. Both were buzzing rather loudly leading Adi to think that they were angry.

The Puffer was doubled up with laughter now, holding onto his knees. “Hahahaha! How do you like that, Agatha?” He was prepared to bet she hadn’t expected this turn of events. If only her fellow Snakes could see this.
