There were very few things that could have made her happier than seeing the look of frustration mingled with hatred written on his face, tugging at his lips and beady eyes in the form of a scowl. The thought of revenge had been almost all consuming to her since their incident in the corridors and it was almost a blessing to her to be able to actually get it. He had literally backed her into a corner and now she was figuratively doing the same to him, but in her opinion hers was much more deadly. Any pain he could have inflicted on her would have faded but this, this could be a lingering trauma that he deserved. She almost hoped that he wouldn’t agree to her terms so she could tell everyone about him and the girl he was fooling around with. She’d blow the whole thing out of proportion and everyone would believe her because Alex and Sabrina would only have each other as witnesses and obviously neither of them could be believed. But she was more keen on getting something out of all of this than just a moment’s joy in seeing him squirm. She wanted this to last.

She rolled her eyes when he informed her that he didn’t have time to allow her to blackmail him. Now they both knew that wasn’t true. He had all the time in the world. Shifting her weight a little so she was comfortable where she stood, she continued to smirk at him, prepared to argue with him for as long as it took for him to see things her way.

"You're not going to tell anyone. You're just wasting my time,"

Laughter escaped her which turned into a rather girlish giggle.

“You think so?” she asked, rhetorically. “You think that I wouldn’t tell everyone within ear shot and beyond that you were snogging some halfblood?” He really was crazy if he thought she was bluffing. She would tell and she would be immensely happy to do so. “You’re just as stupid as you look.”
