No, Pax did not want to discuss what her twin allegedly was or was not responsible for during the events of the past term. She also did not want to discuss her father's conveniently timed ascension to head of the very department responsible for letting Nemesis Upstead walk away without any particular consequences. People could (and would, she was sure) come to their own conclusions about it all.

Last term in the room, plenty of kids had thought to lash out at her because Nemesis had been out of their reach, but she had soon shown that was a bad idea on all counts, making use of fists, words, and wand to defend herself and her younger brother Ezra, as well as stand up unconditionally for Nem's actions at the time.

Maybe she wasn't... quite so ride or die now that their twin bond had become so painfully one-sided, but she wasn't ready to admit that either.

She slipped into a seat at the Ravenclaw table and made exactly zero effort to welcome any first years. They weren't any use to her, so she did not care. Instead she settled in to observe the staff table and the new faces there.
