Abigail couldn’t believe this guy! What an arrogant pig and a bully to boot. She was very tempted to tell him just that, but didn’t want to spend time in detention with him or lose house points. She wouldn’t be nice though, people like him didn’t deserve her respect. He might frighten all the other first years, but he wouldn’t manage to bully her.

Standing up straight she looked him dead in the eye and bowed her head slightly “Abigail Thornton, I wish to be a curse barker, but I’ll more than likely work in the family business...sir.” She then sat back down.
