"Kendra Jones, what is the meaning of this?" the Transfiguration professor demanded. When the fifth year refused to answer, the professor turned to her friend and said, "Miss Farbridge explain this at once."
The witch cast a sideways glance at her best friend and hissed, "Throw me to the wolves. I'll return leading the pack."
Her friend stared at her with unapologetic eyes before turning to the professor and answering, "It was all Kendra. She cast some spell – I can't remember what it was exactly but it made this poor first year –"
Anne broke off as she began to fake cry, and Kendra narrowed her eyes at the girl she used to call a friend.
How could Anne blame her when she knew full well that it was her?
"Well Miss Jones, you had better follow me so we can discuss an appropriate punishment," the professor stated. "Miss Farbridge, would you kindly take this unfortunate child to the Hospital Wing and ensure that he is well taken care of."
Anne's fake cries stopped instantly as she pretended to wipe her eyes and sniffled, "O-O-Of course Professor."
Kendra returned to her dormitory a few hours later and saw red the instant her eyes fell on her laughing former best friend.
"How dare you?" Kendra screeched, lunging for Anne and grabbing hold of her hair and pulling tightly on it. "Because of you I have detention for three weeks. How could you, I thought you were my friend."
Kendra felt her own hair being grasped as Anne fought her off.
"Well, I guess you were wrong Kenny," she retorted fiercely, earning a laugh from her fellow Ravenclaw's.
"I told you never to call me that," Kendra yelled, throwing herself at Anne and hitting her as hard as she could.
As she clambered on top of her former friend and continued to hit her, the entire Common Room chanted "Fight. Fight. Fight."
A hand on her shoulder and a soft, familiar voice of her best friend whispering, "She's not worth it," brought Kendra to her senses.
She stood up and looked down at her bloodied knuckles and then at Anne who was scuttling backwards and away from her with a broken nose.
"You're right. Let's go," Kendra responded, looping her arm around her best friends and strutted up to their dorm room feeling quite proud of herself for finally showing Anne Farbridge what she couldn't walk all over people and get away with it.
