[If she knew you thought such things of her James, she'd have turned you into a newt. And you wouldn't be getting better. Her attempts at insults and to [justifiably, in her opinion] rag on him for his behaviour aren't the least bit endearing, but rather, intimidating.
Or they would be, if she had anything on him]
See that you do.
[She lingers for a long moment, unable to keep her gaze focused directly at his, because the last thing she wants, is for him to ever get the impression that while she has no choice but to recognize and acknowledge his changes...Or that he makes more than a decent head boy even if she'd rather avoid working with him, that her personal opinion is any different.
The more Potter thinks she still utterly dislikes him, the better. It certainly hasn't changed his attitude towards her any, but she can only imagine the slippery slope of increased fliration she's standing on, if she gives him just the slightest indication that she wouldn't hex him for doing it.
So instead of trying to fish around for conversation, or prolong her embarressment, she inclines her head stiffly and moves to go around him]
