Sophie didn't have much time to dwell on that. A few seconds later, jelly beans started hurtling her way. A few hit her, but in the long run, she got all the wiser and moved out of the way. "Cutty Mordaunt!" she said. "Be a Slytherin, why don't ya?" She picked up a jelly bean, a single bean, and threw it at him. This was more of a wake up call than anything. "Are you really going to lose your entire box of jelly beans just to hit me with something soft? You should get your wand out--practice charms a bit. We have to do it for homework anyway."
She picked up another bean and gave him a questioning look. Could he stop the bean?
P I P!!!
The little bean hit and bounced against the boy's temple before he could stop it. And eager for revenge, Cutty's hand was already in the bag reaching for more beans when he heard Sophie's little voice. Her logical little voice. Remind him of his loss.
"
Maybe." He said, unable to resist the opportunity to pipe-up something jerky in reply to her question. "
No." There we go! Now, we're getting somewhere. His jury was still out on whether or not Sophie Newell was just a weak and fragile little tottie, but for the moment, she had saved him roughly 1.3 sickles and that was valuable.
He twisted the open end of the beans bag and tucked them away whilst removing his wand, though he seemed somewhat resigned to do it. He'd have to ask her about that Slytherin comment she'd made because clearly there was something to that which she got and he hadn't yet been gung-ho enough about to investigate. The prefect had told him that it was the best house, but she hadn't really gone into why.
The little firstie got into position, wand in hand and shot Sophie a fire away look.
