I didn't know what I was doing, but by the time I found out, it was too late. My fist had already connected to her face.
"Ahhhh," she screamed as she grabbed her nose. When she removed her hands, blood was smeared all over her upper lip. "You foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach," she screamed as she swung her fist at me. I ducked.
"Aw, so pitiful that you can't even come up with your own insults. You have to use your mommy's," I shouted as I stomped on her toes. She bent forward, cringing with pain, and I kneed her in the face.
"Ladies!" said a plump lady pushing a trolley full of sweets. "What in God's name are you doing?!"
"She's beating me up," Rose wailed as she lay on the compartment floor and wept.
"I would have expected better from such ladies!" she scoffed. "You come with me," she commanded as she grabbed my arm.
"No! It's not her fault. She was egging her on," Yelled Scorpious.
"Wha--no I didn't!" Rose stammered.
"Shush," the lady commanded Rose. "Now, what happened?"
"Lily and I were talking, and then she said something to Lily. Lily did throw the first punch, but Rose threw one too," he said, bunching all of his words together.
"Total nonsense. The girl doesn't have a scratch on her" the lady scoffed.
"That's because she can't aim if her life depended on it. She missed me,"I giggled.
"Well, um, there isn't anything I can really….don't do it again!" she shouted as she pushed through the door, taking the trolley with her.
"You slimy little git," Rose said as she jumped up, one hand holding her nose and one grasping her wand, "Petrif-oh, what the bloody hell was that spell?"
"Well, we can tell she got her dad's genes," Scorpious snickered.
"Expelliarmus!" I yelled, pointing my wand at Rose. The spell hit her and she flew to the opposite side of the compartment. I walked up to her and pointed my wand at her, "Look, Rose, leave me alone. I don't want to see or hear you. Our parents might be friends, but we aren't. You can stay in the apartment, but stay away from me from now on. My parents taught me stuff. They taught me good spells as well as bad ones, and then I researched some. If you mess with me, you'll be in a world of pain."
