If one more person came at her about some stupid missing item, Poppy was going to lose her mind. She'd already told Gable she didn't know anything about it, but it seemed all of Hogwarts had a different opinion on the matter. Poppy was happy to tell them to shove their opinions where the sun didn't shine. As she marched to the Great Hall, she caught a glance of a Slytherin looking in her direction. She was giving her the same look she'd been getting from several students since stuff had started turning up missing. Poppy startled to bristle with annoyance. All she'd been trying to do was go to the Great Hall and eat breakfast. "You got a staring problem or something!? " Poppy balled her fist up, ready to fight. "Let me guess, you think I took something of yours too? Let's get one thing straight, if I wanted to get at anyone, I'd punch you in the face, and call it a day. Thievery is a coward's game, and I'm no coward." Poppy was clearly on the defensive. She didn't like being blamed for stuff she didn't do. She'd happily take credit for her work, but this wasn't it. She turned her nose up at the older girl, daring her to say something.

It was not a good day for Mia. During dinner last night, her family's owl came flying in and dropped a thick letter in her stew. Stupid fucking bird, she had thought before wiping the broth off the envelope and opening it. Her heart sank and she lost her appetite when she started reading the contents of the letter. Her engagement had been arranged... with Noah Bradley. Mia was very upset at this news. She was sad and she was bitterly angry. Of all the people she could marry, it had to be her best mate's ex? Mia wasn't prepared to share this news with anyone, so she just went about her business like it never fucking happened. The letter, though, stayed in the pocket of her robes as she went about her day. Her father detailed the arrangement between himself and Noah's father and part of that was that the wedding would not happen until after she graduated from Hogwarts. That was just a little over a year from now. The silver lining was that she had some time to figure out a way out of this.
Then next morning Mia could be seen leaning against the stone wall on the ground floor. Part of her knew she should head to breakfast and try to eat something, but she felt like if she tried to force herself to eat, she'd just get sick. Her dark gaze had been sweeping the corridor when it landed on one Poppy Carmichael. Resentment started to pool on her tongue as she watched the younger Gryffindor. There were rumors swirling around that the redhead had stolen some valuable items from students, Ivy included. Poppy noticed her staring and the girl immediately went on the defensive. Mia kicked herself off the wall and narrowed her eyes as the bitch started yelling at her. Within two strides, she had made her way over to her. "You better watch your fucking mouth," she spat out. "I'm not one of those weaklings you go after. If you want to get your ass beat, then go ahead - keep running your bloody mouth." Her voice was dangerously low and her dark eyes were flashing.

The Slytherin came face to face with her, spitting back a threat that Poppy took as a challenge. She took note of Mia's anger, acknowledged that the threat was real, and smirked. She'd seen eyes like that, reflected back at her in the bathroom mirror. It was the same look she got when she was ready to send the world into chaos and madness. The same look she'd gotten the night the law had taken her father away. The same look when her mother had forbade visitation. Poppy rarely got to see that look in another person's eyes. She'd seen it with Nate, but he'd been too scared to act on it. Oh, right, guys called it moral value or something stupid like that. "Good," Poppy responded. "I'm tired of people with bark and no bite," she taunted. "Next time avert your eyes in my presence, and you won't have to worry about my mouth, yeah?" She gave an amused laugh, but didn't turn away. Rule number one when you're fighting, never turn your back on the enemy.

"Good," the gryffindor said cooly and Mia straightened her spine, her chest puffing out a bit. Maybe in another world, she would have respected the younger witch. Poppy and Mia were a lot alike in certain regards. They both weren't afraid to snap at someone who looked at them funny, they both weren't afraid to throw the first punch, and they both had a certain disdain for their family. Well, some of their family. It wasn't a secret that Poppy hated her mother just as Mia hated her sister. Maybe the girls could have been friends. But when Mia heard the rumor that Poppy had been responsible for stealing things from fellow students, she knew that there was no peace to be had until the wrong her friend suffered had been righted. A manicured brow raised and Mia let out an amused huff of air. "I'm not afraid of you," she told the redhead, taking another step closer. "I can look where I damn well please. And if I want to glare at the little bitch who stole something from my best mate, I'm gonna do it, yeah?"

Poppy could feel a fight coming on. She wasn't completely opposed, especially if someone was actually going to put up a fight instead of just sit there and beg for mercy. Food could wait, although she thought it would be lost if she was dragged off to detention. She contemplated her options and decided she could always eat during lunch. Her eyes narrowed as Mia made the statement that she wasn't afraid. "I didn't ask you to be," the Gryffindor stated plainly. She was excited. It was good that Mia wasn't scared. It meant the other girl wasn't a coward. She could see it in the way she carried herself. It got old being intimidating to every person she crossed. Poppy visibly deflated when the older girl called her a thief. "This again," she asked almost exasperated. "I already told the Ravenclaw Prefect I didn't do it. Go place the blame on someone who's a coward, because it ain't me!" She was tired of being blamed for being the school's thief. She didn't even care that Mia had called her something foul, it was the accusations that were getting under Poppy's skin. "I might be a fighter. I might be a liar. I'm not a thief though."

Her body was tensing as she stared down at Poppy, seeing those icy blue eyes pierce into hers, preparing to strike. It was moments like these where she lost the separation between herself and her Animagus form, feeling more like a snake with each passing moment. The only thing she was lacking was that double heartbeat. It was rare for Mia to face off with someone who wasn't intimidated by her and she was starting to get giddy with excitement. What good fun it'll be to beat someone who knew how to fight back. The tension broke a little as she deflated and Mia's body relaxed just a hair. She listened to the Gryffindor defend herself and she considered her words. No, Poppy didn't seem the type to go behind someone's back to do anything, let alone steal. Her body relaxed further and she leaned back onto her heels. "If you ever find out who did, you better save some of their face for me." Her dark eyes flickered over her face for a moment. "Run your fucking mouth to me again and I'll show you what it means to get your ass beat." Mia looked her over one last time before she smirked and moved to walk past her.

The young Gryffindor would fight tooth and nail against Mia if she had to. Rose had already hit her, and she had zero intention of letting this become a habit. She grit her teeth as the tension in the air thickens. One of them would have to strike first. Typically, it was Poppy doing the striking, but Mia wasn't the average bootlicker. Oh no, this Slytherin probably packed a punch. Poppy had sized her up on approach. Quidditch players were usually in shape. Depending on the position they played, they could cause some real damage in a fight. Poppy was willing to bet Mia was quick on her feet. She probably fought dirty too. This caused the Gryffindor to smirk. It would be a good fight. One that wouldn't end quickly. Poppy had been taught to end a fight quickly, but not everything went her way. She drew the back of her hand against her face as Mia backed down. Surprisingly unexpected, but not an unpleasant result. "I'll think about it," Poppy hummed as Mia told her to spare the real culprit. Poppy might have left it at that, but Mia had to make that little remark. The younger girl had half a mind to stick her foot out and trip the older girl. Instead, she tripped the next person walking behind Mia, sending some sad sap Ravenclaw sprawling into the Slytherin brat.

Mia was feeling pretty satisfied with herself as she walked away from Poppy, thinking that she just won some standoff, but then she was falling forward as some bitch hurdled into her. "What the fuck?" Her raven black hair whipped around as she turned, shoving the poor Ravenclaw out of her way. Dark eyes were glittering dangerously at the young redhead, Mia's perfect features marred by a deep scowl. "You fucking bitch!" she hissed and lunged toward her, grabbing her by the hair and shoving her forward. "Are you so eager for a fucking beating? Maybe it would do you some good, get your fucking head out of your ass for once." Mia rolled her shoulders and took a step toward her, her hands coming up to her chest so she could crack her knuckles. There was no way she was about to be disrespected by some white trash bitch. "I'm going to enjoy this." She was smiling like a lunatic as she drew her fist back and threw it directly for Poppy's face.
