There was an impossible number of trophies contained in the trophy room-- but it reminded Laurie why she did the things she did. She never sought acclaim or praise, but she was human like most of the students at Hogwarts... and a trophy in her future didn't make her upset. It was potential. Possibility. And in the recesses of her mind, she believed it could open a door for her. What if Ravenclaw just started sweeping Quidditch? And a recruiter saw her? Of course, this is in the realm where she could be a professional player but her parents grand reputation put a damper on her dreams. She sighed softly, eyes drifting away from her trophy and into her own mind.

Nadia for one thought the trophy room was the stupidest place in Hogwarts-- but here she was, daring to enter. Of course, one troublesome Ravenclaw was already there when she'd decided to enter. "What are you doing in here?" Nadia asked as she stepped in, eyes glancing at the trophies. "Ah, I suppose this is as close as you can get to a trophy. You know, after Slytherin takes the cup."

Laurie spun on her heels, eyes wide at Nadia's sudden presence. Another person that could cause her trouble. Nadia was smart, sure, but she had a sharp tongue and knew how to make a person really hate themselves without even lifting a figure. "Nadia." Laurie greeted with a half smile, folding her hands behind her backs. Ugh, of course she wanted to smack talk. "Slytherin won't be getting close to the cup after this year, I can promise you that." Laurie responded assuredly. "We've got a killer team-- and none of us feel the need to intimidate others. Which means we're super good." Great one, Laurie, really intimidating.

She snorted at Nadia's pitiful retort. Were all Ravenclaws this spineless or was that special for Laurie? "KIller team? Ha. More like your team is going to get killed. You don't intimidate people because you're all a bunch of spineless idiots. Oh? Ravenclaws the house of intellect? Then explain Nate James being on your team. That dumbass can't play for shite. And don't even get me started on your pathetic little friends..." Nadia moved past Nadia, looking at a few older Slytherin cups with pride. "Don't worry-- I'm nothing like that loser Poppy. I'm not going to fight you or anything. That would be a waste of a fight."

WHAT WAS WRONG WITH EVERYONE AT HOGWARTS?!? Ever since Elsie returned, it seemed like everyone wanted to kill her or something. Was her sister just that horrible of a Professor? She thought not. Nadia, Poppy, Rose-- who was next? Mia King or Claire? Merlin, she couldn't imagine something like that. All Laurie could do was sigh, and hope that Nadia cut it out sooner rather than later. That's when she started insulting her friends. "What is wrong with you? Nate is not an idiot. He's actually really talented." She huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. "You're the one talking. Last season you hardly deflected any Bludgers!" Okay, maybe that was partially true, but Laurie was really grasping at straws trying to get back at Nadia...

"Were you playing blindfolded? You don't remember that bludger that literally knocked you off your broom? You couldn't play the rest of the game." Nadia snorted at Laurie's pitiful response. It almost made her feel bad for teasing the younger girl. "Even it Nathaniel isn't an idiot, he's too busy with his hands down everyone's pants to play Quidditch seriously. How could you? He's probably thinking about what girl he's going to song next instead of defending his teammates."

"He's not-- That's not--" Nadia really knew how to flabbergast someone. Who said things like that? Apparently, Nadia Wylde. "Nate's not that kind of person." Laurie took a step back, furrowing her brows. "That's not all he's thinking about. He's actually a really good person."

"Oh he's not? Oh he's such sweet person?" Nadia mimicked the older girl, taking a step forward. She already had the physical advantage, being a few inches taller than Laurie. "You think that because he's trying to work on you. Acting all sweet, being nice to you, treating you differently... Making you feel like-- oh, he's really changed. Psh. You really are an idiot. He probably just wants to shag you and then move onto the next girl."

"You really have no idea what you're talking about. Nate is not like that. He's not... He's not using me to song." She scoffed, very taken aback by Nadia's taunts. Did she know? That Laurie had a thing for Nate? Did Nate tell her? They weren't even friends, she thought. Even though she knew Nadia was just trying to egg her on, she was feeling a bit insecure thinking about that. "He doesn't even think about me like that." She quickly sputtered out. "What would you know anyways? You're just trying to freak me out-- I don't care who my friend is snogging. That doesn't make him a bad person."

"Oh come off it, Laurie. I know I've called you an idiot, but you seriously can't be that stupid. Everyone sees the way he follows you around like a lost puppy. You might not see it, but everyone else does. He's playing that game with you-- like you could change him. But everyone knows people like him can't chance. I even heard he does some pretty shady stuff on the side."

Laurie stared at Nadia like she was a deer in headlights. What did she mean? Nate didn't follow her around like a lost puppy... If anyone, Nate followed Liam and Finch around like that. But her? They were just... regular. Regular, normal friends. But then Nadia mentioned the last part. "Shady stuff? Like what...?" Laurie couldn't help it-- but if she didn't satiate her curiosity, it would come up later and it would just mess up her relationship with Nate....
