It wasn't their fault that the nuttergirl tried to be a bully and came up against the wrong second years.



"Nothing." West gave the Gryffindor a surprised look.

Were all first years so strange or was it just the girl ones? He was SO much more mature than them.



"Yeah. Firsties." West nodded once, firmly. "You saw that we didn't do anything, right?" He gave Ariana an earnest, innocent look. He was just a second year snake, minding his and Theo's business!



"No I don't, its Goblin magic. You get the safe already charmed." West answered, determined to carry on a normal conversation despite girls being weird around them.

"Well that just proves that she's mean, if she didn't want to be your friend, and kissed you even though you didn't want her to, and then got mad and rude about it afterwards." West said comfortingly.

West gave Theo a little nudge with his elbow. Shhhhh. They could totally get the older girl on their side!

"At a muggle school? Because Theo doesn't want to kiss you? That's pretty strange. I think you should sit down and stop being rude and stuff. The Headmistress is giving a speech you know. We're supposed to listen and then we get food and nobody likes a tattle-tale or a liar. And nobody will like you if you call them mean names." West had lots of good advice.

He looked up towards the staff table, waiting for the Headmistress to continue and maybe hoping that one of the gooders would come over and fix the nutter girl who didn't know how to be a Slytherin.
