In the past, Violet had always been eager to answer every question, eager to advance and earn points for her House. But the apathy she'd felt since being exiled to the under-dungeon had not gotten any better, and she just didn't really care about the class discussion, or points, or what was going to happen, or anything. And there was the Inquisitorial Squad, as usual, bullying everyone and getting all bent out of shape when someone questioned their bloodlines. Which caused Violet to perk up a little--that was an interesting question. In her experience, people who were bullies, so eager to impress on everyone that they were better and more powerful, were usually insecure. She certainly hadn't noticed any of them risking themselves at the dragon preserve; no, they tried to get a bunch of little kids to do the dangerous part for them.

And now Schmoe's announcement of an activity--of course there had to be an activity--penetrated the fog surrounding Violet's brain. She was not surprised to be assigned to the Muggle team--Rosier had probably instructed Schmoe which students 'deserved' to be on the underdog team. Once she would have been miffed to have to play a Muggle, but now she just didn't care one way or the other. But she was really tired of having to hand over her wand to people all the time, she considered as she handed hers over. Really, she had grown quite dependent on it in just a few short years of school--most wizards were, as a matter of fact. That was a weakness of theirs, and it would probably do them all good to practice doing things without magic once in a while, just in case they might need to some day. Like, right now she felt like if she wounding up punching someone in the course of this exercise, it wouldn't bother her much.


Sorry, just got to this class today--been dealing with plumbing problems IRL (could use some magic here myself)
