TORTURE CHAMBER? Eden's mouth fell open but quickly pulled it back up--any orifice was in DANGER in the torture CHAMBER.

MERLIN.

Medieval torture devices flitted through her mind--WHY HAD SHE READ ALL THAT STUFF ONE SUMMER? But SURELY--Hogwarts was not allowed to...ahem, disfigure Eden so?! She hoped not. She didn't even know if her grandparents would pay for a LAWSUIT or anything...Did lawsuits exist in the magical realm? She'd have to ask her dad when she got the chance.

If she got the chance.

As she made her way towards the .....Eden would rather call it the 'Rehabilitation Chamber' in her head so that she didn't totally panic and faint--well, she stepped inside and shivered, looking around...wide eyed...like a POOR INNOCENT DOE HERE. Eden was a doe. SHE WAS. Cutty was to FIEND. And when she was done with this...rehabilitation, she would going to find his bum...and kicking it.

And she wasn't bluffing.

Looking around for Headmistress Truebridge, she didn't know what to do with her hands, really..so she just settled for wrangling them in front of her, nervously.

Anastasia marched right in behind Eden, her wand twirling lazily in her fingers. She closed the door behind her with a giant thud and then conjured up two chairs. One was rickety and possibly splinter-causing, while the other... well, it was quite cushiony and obviously for her.

She took her seat and gestured for the girl to do the same. "Now then, Eden," the redhead began, "why don't you tell me what your problem with your professors is. This detention marks the second occasion on which you have come tattling to my office. Why?"

Eden eyed the chair....if she got splinters in her bum--Merlin. She just timidly sat down and cleared her throat nervously...at the Headmistress. Eden. Great. She knew her name. NOT good, okay? NOT good. "I...don't have a problem with professors--plural--" she began, trying not to sound snooty at all--just correction the misconception was all. "I. Um. Well. I think professors should treat us with the respect we show them--so--" Ahem. "When Professor Flamsteed LOCKED Puck in a closet--I got angry-and Professor Morgan--she's being EVIL and MEAN--"

She took a deeeep breath. "And Professor Morgan is my favorite professor--" she said, and she even let a little bit of her HURT feelings come across her face. She felt BETRAYED okay?

She shifted uncomfortably in her seat..and tried not to get any SPLINTERS in....places.

There it was. That correction. That same snarky 'smarter than thou' Ravenclaw attitude coming through. It was that same superior attitude that had made her hate Ravenclaws all through school. If her son was sorted into Ravenclaw, so help her... she would take a leaf out of Cambridge's book and eat the hat.

Anyway, back to Eden.

"How is she being 'evil' and 'mean' to you?" she prompted, not giving up yet. Aww the divination professor had been the girl's favorite.... how touching. "Perhaps you're just not used to a little discipline from Professor Morgan..."

Annie, on the other hand, would be proud if the giggly but fashionable Divinationista toughened up.

Her heels clicked as she made her way down to the dungeon. Getting lost a few times on the way she was highly irritated. Why did this peasant have to come into her castle and show so much disrespect. Honestly if Huntsman Cutty wasn't around she might have had to take care of the girl herself.

Maybe he had already done the deed and she wouldn't have to worry about it at all. That would be nice. The queen didn't like to get her hands dirty if she didn't have to. Though she did enjoy the fear in their faces as they figured out that their Queen could do what she wanted.

Finally making her way into the area she looked shocked as she noticed another woman. "Who are you? Where is Huntsman Cutty?" No matter really she turned on the girl that was so disrespectful, "Are you ready to bow down to your queen now?" She'd give the girl another chance, but only one more.

Eden was not a mean human. She was not a sassy human--unless, of course, prompted, and she could immediately register the housism emitting from her headmistress. "Actually--I'm used to discipline--just not the unfair kind." And she gestured to the room around her and blinked over at Truebridge.

AHEM.

"And...Professor Morgon-----"

And then...the worst thing EVER happened--and EVOOOOOL!Morgan floaaaaated inside. Ugh. Eden winced as soon as she began to talk and squinted at Professor Morgan with one eye. "I----" she then looked back at Headmistress Truebridge. "DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN?!" she cried, rather suddenly, standing up in a HEEEEP of passion, flailing her arms at Morgan. "She thinks she's the QUEEN--" and Eden did some QUICK thinking here--"And obviously, you're the queen of this school--right Headmistress?" Cue eyelash batting--Eden was truly terrified now, so sucking up could only HELP her case............

..........right?

RIGHT?

"And I'm not BOWING to anyone--" she snapped quickly...and then wanted to melt into a puddle under the splintery chair for protection. Could splinters hurt an Evil Queen like they would VAMPIRES? Maybe.

See that attitude? SEE IT? Anastasia was NOT ignoring that backtalk and sass, and if this girl thought that Professor Morgan w---

Well speak of the devil, the woman was here now. Annie blinked as she swept in as though she had grown six inches and developed massive amounts of confidence overnight. Hmm.

"Mister Mordaunt was sent back to class or wherever he is supposed to be at this point in time," the Headmistress dismissed Cassie's first question with a careless wave of her hand. "As for who I am..." She let out a short bark of laughter, though she WAS also peering at Eden out of the corner of her eye.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

The girl's reaction was a bit much, but still. This could be a stunt, a sketch from Nessa's drama club or whatever.

"You know very well who I am, Cassiopeia," she spoke up, at the same time giving a clear 'OI, QUIET' look toward Eden. "No one needs to bow to anyone right now. Besides, Eden would curtsy, wouldn't she? Since she is a POLITE YOUNG LADY and all....."

Hint hint hint hint, Ravenclaw. Pick it up now, you're supposed to be smart.

The Queen glared towards the girl as she certainly wasn't going to bow anytime soon. So disrespectful, everyone that has come near her. Snow White had to have gotten to them all. Well she'd show them. She was the Queen. The girl spoke and said that one was her Queen and she gave an evil laugh. "Your Queen is standing in front of you and it is not some redheaded peasant." Though the woman was dressed rather nicely.

She turned on her when she said the Queen would know her. "I do not know of this Cassiopeia you speak of and I certainly do not know who you are. I am the Queen of this kingdom and I would think I would know everyone that is usually in it." Though recently she was seeing way too many people she didn't know. "You do not dismiss my huntsmen, I am the only one that dismisses them. They work for me." No mere villager was allowed to do that.

"Lady? She hasn't proven to be a lady, just a very rude peasant that will not respect her queen. " Crossing her arms she waited for them both to bow down to her.

"I am NOT curtsying to her--and I am not bowing--" she said stubbornly, suddenly crossing her arms over her chest--glaring at Evil Morgan with........DISLIKE because Eden couldn't hate anyone nope. Not even Cutty Mordaunt. She might shave his eyebrows in his sleep--but that wasn't hatred material.

She then SNORTED at the RUDENESS of Morgan. "SEE? She's being MEAN-even to YOU--" she said--her voice rising a few octaves in her passionate state. C'MON, TRUEBRIDGE.

AND THEN...she rounded on the "QUEEN." "Don't call HER a peasant--" she said SNAPPY. So maybe the Ravenclaw COULD be a sassypants. This was all just so...RIDICULOUS. Would this be happening at her old school--DURMSTRANG? Probably not. She wouldn't voice this aloud, though. She wasn't a snob. And everything else about Hogwarts was just lovely. "ANNDD queens serve their people--not the other way around--so--" let THAT sink in, WOMAN.

Hands now on her hips, Eden glared between the two--mostly at Morgan--and wondered if she was still going to be...ahem...tortured?
