No Breakfast Clubbing This

[Adelle O'Connor]

(ooc: I didn't want to commandeer anyone else's character, so Geoff is holding detention! He's not really paying attention, tbh.)

Sinking down into a chair at the very back of the detention room, Adelle put the hood of her cloak over her head and pulled out a book. She'd been one half of a practice duel with Georgiana Armitage that had 'gotten out of hand'. Back in the dorm, at least Adelle had her Lillian and could just ignore everyone else, but when she and Georgie were paired up in class and she had the opportunity right in front of her...

Adelle had, admittedly, been half-assing her academics for the past month or so. She was granted early admission to the Cursebreakers as long as she passed her NEWTs, which wouldn't be a problem given the parade of idiots who somehow managed to pass every year. She was mostly upset that detention meant canceling her Potions tutoring session, and canceling her tutoring session meant no weed money. Which meant getting on with Georgie would be even more difficult. It was a vicious cycle!

Professor Freeman then stepped to the front of the room full of students and yawned. "Hi everyone. It's after five o'clock, and I want to be here about as much as you do. Let's make this as painless as possible and just try not to kill each other, alright?" He then looked at the note that the Head of Slytherin House had left him, and motioned to Adelle and Georgiana. "You two are supposed to write about using offensive magic in its proper context. Wow, sounds fun. Two separate essays, no Breakfast Clubbing this." He then sat at the front desk, popped in a pair of earplugs and went to work marking exams.

With an irritated furrow of the eyebrows, Adelle made a great show of putting her book away and kicked the back of Georgie's chair so she'd turn around. "Wanna see a picture of a guy with elephantitis of the nuts?" she asked, not sure if the girl would recognize the Breakfast Club quote.

[Georgiana Armitage]

Georgiana Armitage sat in the second to last row with her pink earplugs stuffed into her ears listening to M.I.A’s Paper Planes. She only took them out to listen to Professor Freeman as he yawned out their directions. She sighed disapprovingly at their assignment.

When Adelle kicked the back of her chair she rounded on her scowling, “Eat my shorts, O’Connor,” Georgiana spat back. The Breakfast Club was one of her favourite films, of course she recognised a quite when she heard one. What?! Did Adelle think she was stupid or something? Probably that stupid cow! She turned back around in her seat and drummed her nails on the desk with her left hand while her right fiddled with her quill.

((ooc: That’s alright, I love Geoff anyways! This is rubbish sorry but Georgie will get better, hopefully. btw I love Georgie and Zeke, she is so much fun to write!))

"Touché," Adelle whispered, trying to hide the smirk of approval that started to form at the edge of her mouth. She slid back down in her chair and scribbled her name at the top of her essay before writing in tiny capital letters, Given the great power of offensive magic, it must be executed extremely carefully and only in the appropriate context. Wow, this essay was bullshit. In Adelle's humble opinion, she'd used offensive magic in the perfect context.

"Guess Daddy couldn't get you out of detention, huh?" Adelle spoke up after a few silent moments, with the confidence of someone who was leaving school soon and assumed she'd never have to see any of these people ever again.

[Georgiana Armitage]

Georgiana smirked triumphantly as she turned round in her seat and began drumming her fingers only after she scrawled her name at the top of the page in fancy looping cursive.

After a few moments, listening to the scratching noises behind her she sighed and began to write. Her essay was no less bullshit than Adelle’s and she made certain to slip in big elaborate words within context to make it sound more like she really meant it, or at least to give the Professor’s something worth reading. Really she wanted to prove she wasn’t dumber than a box of hair.

“At least my Dad remembers me,” she snarked not even bothering to give Adelle a backwards glance.

((ooc: Sorry she is such a bitch, but she is oh so much fun! lol))

Adelle chewed quietly on the end of her quill before spitting out a few loose pieces of feather that had stuck to her tongue. Georgiana's words had stung, but Adelle didn't want the other girl to know she'd hit a nerve.

"Yeah, I'll bet he remembers you every time he gets the bill for some credit card you ran up," she spoke, just a little bit louder this time.

[Georgiana Armitage]

Georgiana smirked again, a slightly evil ‘I know I’m getting to you’ kind of smirk down at her paper while finishing a sentence before glancing at Professor Geoff to make sure he wasn’t paying attention, then she turned around in her seat.

“Probably, but the fact is he thinks of me well enough and trusts me to give me his credit card rather than forcing me to steal it from him,” she replied with a shrug keeping her voice level, then added cooly, “And at least I never have to sneak out to escape my family.”

She turned back around in her seat and began to write again as if what she had just said was as mild a subject as talking about the weather.

Adelle tried to invent a halfway-plausible Gandhi quote about non-violence to add to her essay, all while simultaneously searching for a way to savagely take Georgie down without getting in trouble again. It was her fatal flaw, keeping all of her wants and emotions compactly bottled up inside until she lashed out in the worst possible way. It wasn't like the other girl had gone for any truly low blows, but she managed to get the wheels in Addie's brain spinning. Her parents never asked about her career plans, never saw her marks, didn't know she was seeing a guy, didn't know that she maybe liked girls too, and if Adelle had found out she was knocked up back in that Hogsmeade bathroom, they wouldn't have found out about that either.

"And at least I'm not a spoiled, entitled princess. Maybe everyone would be better off if you took it upon yourself to sneak away every once in a while," she spoke through her teeth, tapping her foot against the leg of Georgiana's chair.

[Georgiana Armitage]

The bad thing about Georgiana, other than being a bitch, she knew everybody’s secrets. Georgie had mastered the art of subtle manipulation as if she were scrapping back everyone’s layers of armor with insults until she hit raw nerves. Georgiana knew the art of war. She was the daughter of an ex-deatheater who was never suspected because they could never pin anything on him.

She studied her enemies. She knew about the bathroom incident. She knew that the O’Connor’s although lovely people were more concerned about the welfare and success of their prat of a son Bradley and darling brat of a daughter Lucia. For all her so called entitled princess manners Georgie couldn’t stand the whinny, obnoxiousness of Lucia. If you are going to act like a princess at least have some class, and be more subtle about it. Georgie could see that Adelle’s twin Matt clearly overshadowed her and nearly begged for attention. Even the dippy one Evelyn appeared to get some sympathy from her parent’s at large functions. Georgie always wondered if there was something seriously wrong with Evelyn, but she did tend to follow her around like a lost puppy and did whatever she wanted so she had tolerated ‘the dumb one.’

“Oh, see, that’s the thing my family actually likes me. And for the record I do sneak out of Hogwarts, but the Professors are ever so nice to me when I come back. How about you? Are they really nice to you when they catch you with some weed shoved into your pocket?” she asked her voice sounded so innocent and sweet but the words gave it an entirely different meaning. She tapped her foot against the leg of Adelle’s desk before she twisted back around in her chair and began to write again fleshing out a few pages of eloquent bullshit before getting to the values of using offensive spells properly.

Frustrated with the direction her essay was going, Adelle tore the bottom half of her parchment, scrunched it up into a ball and threw it at the back of Georgie's head. In all honesty, the professors rarely even noticed her. Perhaps there was a reason acting out in class earlier that day had been so exhilarating.

"I smoke. Big deal. Why do you sneak off, to meet your boyfriend? And what does Daddy think about him, hmm?" she asked with a simpering head tilt, trying to mirror Georgie's mannerisms.
