Tell Them I'm Trapped in an Oil Painting

Elizabeth rolled her eyes, not surprised in the slightest that the boy had no idea who she was. Honestly, what was this school teaching?! "Then your time would be better spent brushing up on your history of magic," she snapped. She wrinkled her nose at the nickname. Clearly this one was in need of an etiquette lesson as well as a history one! "I'll have you know my name is not Ginger; it's Elizabeth! Elizabeth Burke, as in Borgin & Burke's. My family operates a shop in Knockturn Alley. What have you ever done?" Besides talk, she meant.

So much for the girl being the more respectful one! Elizabeth's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Who do you think you are to insult my lineage?" She spat. "In my day, people like you knew how to hold their tongue! Disrespect like that would've got you hung up by your thumbs in the dungeons. Merlin, I miss the old punishments!"

She also missed her wand and - well, being alive. It was rather difficult to teach brats like these a lesson without a body!
