Rivals
Kenzie MacLeod and Petra had had next to no contact since the incident on the train. Siri preferred it that way. Her cousin could haven an explosive temper at times, and MacLeod seemed to know exactly how to detonate it. So when he joined in on the comments about her hair, Petra flew off the handle. Their 'conversation' quickly degenerated into:
"You great Scottish git!"
"At least I'm not a stupid Sassenach."
"Yeah, but I'm not the one who eats sheep intestines."
"You English wouldn't know good food if it hit you in the face!"
They continued in this vein for a good ten minutes, their voices ringing through the great hall, before each losing their house five points.
And like that, a rivalry was cemented. Well, that and the fact that MacLeod's robes played Rule Britannia throughout the next day, which offend his Scottish sensibilities. It mattered little that Ravenclaws and Gryffindors rarely had class together. MacLeod and Petra were determined to out do each other. And anytime their paths crossed, a shouting match was sure to ensue as well as the loss of house points. Of course, that was incentive enough for their housemates to try and keep them away from each other, which unfortunately didn't work often enough.
The teachers seemed to find it all very amusing, but that didn't keep them from taking house points. There were also rumors of a betting pool among the teachers on how many points the two would lose their houses over the year and who would actually come out on top in the end.
The rivalry had at least one good point. Due to its spectacular start, most of the school had forgotten the string of pranks played on Petra. And that would be incredibly helpful when the girls decided to take revenge.
irishdancerfromroi – Petra and Kenzie may be at this for a while. You can expect retaliation on both sides.
RoganLuvr – Well, that's what she did. To start, at least. Petra and Kenzie are going to continuing this for a while.
