In Which the Prom Queen Arrives

[popular_upland]

Bonjour, everyone! Allow me to introduce myself. I am Galinda Upland (formerly of Paris, now of London), and I am very pleased to be attending such a prestigious and well-known school as Hogwarts even though it’s quite more drab and dreary than I’m used to.

Now tell me, what’s the most swankified event around here? Oh, I must write home and

Hogwarts is not all that dreary. Yeah, it's a castle, but...

((Strikes = thoughts.))

Well, it's dark. Not as bright as Beauxbatons...

OHMYGOD, EWWW! DID YOU EAT GRASS AS A CHILD OR SOMETHING?

?

[wickedygreen]

...No. I was born this way.

[popular_upland]

But...how?! Nobody's born looking like an artichoke!

[wickedygreen]

*snaps* Obviously somebody was. Do you honestly think if I knew why I was born green, I'd still look like this? And can you be any more obnoxious about it?

[popular_upland]

Well, that's just impossible. I'm sorry if seeing a green-skinned girl isn't supposed to shock me!

[wickedygreen]

*smirking rather coldly* Ah...then apparently I express impossibility. I wish I could see that as a compliment.

You can be shocked without being so shallowly rude.

[popular_upland]

Well, no need to be so snappy. Goondess!

[wickedygreen]

Wouldn't you be a bit snappy too if people insulted your appearance? I've never seen someone like you before either, but you don't hear me saying that your hair looks like Fusilli pasta.

[popular_upland]

Nobody insults my appearance. I was the most attractive 4th year student at Beauxbatons. And the most popular.

[wickedygreen]

I don't see how that matters any, as you're no longer at Beauxbatons. And from how spoiled and self-centered you seem to be, it seems like you could use an insult or two to get you off your high horse. And even if you were, I don't know if that says anything; Beauxbatons could have seriously low standards.

((That strike is tricky to hack...and if Galinda isn't very talented at magic, she likely will only just be able to see a black space where they'd be. 8D))

[popular_upland]

Beauxbatons has very high standards, thank you very much! You just can't accept the fact that I'm far more beautiful and popular than you'll ever be. I bet you wouldn't know fashion if it bit you on the nose!

[wickedygreen]

*coolly* ...I don't care how supposedly beautiful and popular you are. I care about things that have a bit more weight than petty things like fashion.
