She was sooooooooo turning this encounter into a headline.

"Yes, of course!" Tori continued smiling though she did raise an eyebrow at something Sierra had said. "Really, you thought I would end up a writer?" Do go on, Greingoth. Surely there had to be some kind of insult behind that remark. She knew her arch-enemy alright.

The season was only alright... duly noted. "Were the Falcons your first choice in team?" She wondered curiously. Knowing Greingoth, she wouldn't settle until she was on the best team. That family of Slytherins were all just wannabe Bunburys anyway, and the Bunbury motto was 'only the best for the best.' Tori smirked just at that thought.

"Mm I can cover whatever I want to cover," she picked up her drink again for a dainty sip. "Politics, government, school stories, fashion, human interest...." Her gaze again wandered to the old men couple. "I could even write a story on those two geezers, if it caught my fancy. I love having a job with so much flexibility." Shame Sierra was stuck in the boring old sport world.


Little talent. Riiight. Sierra could just HEAR the jealousy oozing out Tori's mouth. "Mmhmm, much in the same way you've managed to make a career out of your's," she remarking. A talent for gossiping, that is. No one at the Daily Prophet was ever up to any good, it seemed.

Sierra thought Tori would end up a writer? "Not exactly. I'm just not surprised you made a career out of being a professional gossiper, that's all," she said. Honestly was the best policy and all. That was also the insult she was almost sure Bunbury was expecting.

Sierra was certain Tori had some evil plan behind asking if the Falcons were Sierra's first choice in a team. No, they weren't. The Harpies had been. The Falcons, as a matter of fact, hadn't even been in Sierra's running. Tori didn't have to know that, though. "Of course. Well, the Falcons or the Harpies," she said. She decided to throw a pinch of the truth in their somewhere.

Sierra raised her eyebrows. "Oh? Then tell me, Tori, what part of politics and government would you choose to write about if you were given that very assignment?" she asked. She would honestly fall out her chair if a decent answer was given.
