Snippet #1045933

Azaleh chose to sit next to Shasta because she enjoyed taunting her and she was in the mood to cause some suffering; after her second cousins she was going to unleash her fury on the first years. That would be fun. Knowing full well that Shasta didn't want people at school to know what family she was a part of, she thought she would bring the subject of the Black's up. "You know, I think it's a dreadful shame that there's no one left in the family with the last name. The Black family was such a good pureblood family. Of course I would never change my name; my mother caused a lot of death, suffering and pain under the name Lestrange. Changing it would make it seem as if I was distancing myself from the acts of my parents which is ridiculous." She stole a glance at them from the corners of her eyes to see their reactions. Deciding to take it up a level she continued. "Shasta Black." she said rather loudly. "Has a certain ring to it, you must admit. Then again it should really be a question of 'Are you worthy of the name?' and I'm afraid I'm not sure that you are. I mean, occasionally you show some of the family 'flare' but I'm not totally convinced." Azaleh smirked again, hoping this would provoke her temper. If that failed she could always turn to Teddy, he was also fun to tease but she had a strong dislike for him. He was too... kind.
