The Slytherins were now laughing uproariously at Acacia's tales of Willow. They were more than a little exaggerated obviously, but it made for a good laugh. Might as well get one last one in before probably doing something that most of the Slytherins weren't going to like. They'd have to get over it. She wasn't lying when she said she'd get the Slytherin's to ease up on Willow, if only for the purpose of gaining her trust more. But right now, she would just like to sit back, and relax, and be herself.

[i]"Oh, that Mother Hen attitude with Willow was a front like everything else I see. Great job Acacia, deceiving someone as frail and trusting as her is a wonderful accomplishment."[/i] She knew the voice who spoke. Casimir. He wasn't usually someone who objected to her schemes. It was a bit surprising that he would say something to her about this, to put it lightly. Just because he was usually a good ally, doesn't mean he was getting off easy though, oh no. She was quite irritated that he would attempt to undermine her authority.

[b]"Ah, Casimir. So great to see you again."[/b] She said with a smile, though the smile wasn't friendly in any sense of the word. [b]"Trying to play hero are we?"[/b] She giggled. [b]"Even after you were the cause of her fainting in the first place? Poor little Willow would have been just fine had you not interrupted us, and accused her of trying to blow you up when after all, she just made a slight error in the pronunciation of her spell. Now, how would the Gryffindors, and other houses react, if someone started spreading a rumor that a Slytherin purposefully did that too her, just for laughs? Or sure, she doesn't have many friends, but she has a few that would...do more than stand up for her. I'm sure the teachers may also decide to, discipline, said student. We have, plenty of witnesses to you being there after all. I'm sure the one spreading the rumors could convince the others that were there too...say something against you."[/b]

All the while she was talking, she gave Casimir a all too friendly smile. [b]"That's all, theoretical of course. I doubt someone would ever want to get a fellow Slytherin in trouble."[/b]
