Just you wait till I get you home

Destrey's wand slashed, obliterating the disarming spell as she continued to stride toward her new friend. The other was easily sidestepped, once she'd seen it coming.

"No, honey, warning your opponent is a mistake," she said gently. "It's okay to warn someone, but always after they're lying on the floor."

She slid an arm around Damitrius' shoulder and turned them both around to continue walking down the corridor.

"I may have lied just a tiny bit about needing Defence help," she confessed. "But I do want to see the Room of Requirement. And believe it or not, I do want to help you out."

"Of course you did." she scoffed at the girl.

This was why she couldn't stand Slytherins. They were always lying about things to everyone. That was the main reason why she couldn't stand her brother, Damien.

That and he just plain irritated her whenever he had a chance. He always made her seem weak and stupid, and he especially did it in front of their father and older siblings.

"Help me out? Why would I need your help?" she raised a skeptical eyebrow and frowned at her. Her grip on her wand tightened as she looked at the girl.

Damitrius seemed uncomfortable with Destrey's proximity, so she let the Gryffindor squirm away as she shrugged and dropped her arm, completely unperturbed by the attempt at a rebuke.

"Would you have believed me if I wasn't lying?" Destrey asked, narrowing her eyes.

"Everyone's so cynical about Slytherins, but nobody ever thinks that may-be we have feelings too!" she announced.

"I know. You think wearing the green and silver is a stroll in the park, right? I mean, we have all the bullies. We have all the pureblood supremacists. It's not like they'd ever bully someone in their same house; that's not how bullies work at allllll."

She laughed bitterly and rolled her eyes at such a ridiculous notion.

There was a momentary pause.

"As for helping you, well," Destrey left the sentence hanging in the air.

"You're half vampire!" she exclaimed, emphasising each word with her hands and causing sparks to bounce off the walls. "I could have kicked your arse before, if I'd felt like it. You might be great at Defence, but your duelling strategy sucks like lemons."

"So I'll help you out and you'll do me a favour in return, yeah?"

"I don't need your help." Damitrius spat at her. "And I sure as hell won't do you any kind of favors." she scoffed.

Who the hell did she think she was? Like Damitrius would accept 'help' from someone like her. She didn't even like her. She didn't know exactly what this girl was up too but she didn't trust her one bit and she didn't think it was a good idea to continue hanging around her.

"Well," she started. "If that's all you wanted to say, I'll just be going now. There's no point in wasting anymore of my time with you." she told Destrey.

"That's probably for the best," Destrey agreed.

"I'm not sure I'd want someone as dumb as you doing me favours, anyway. I mean, you haven't even asked me what I wanted you to do."

She put her hands on her hips and waited.
