Holly was hearing no more of it, but in the most Holly-like fashion, she continued snarking at the Hufflepuff.

"There is a reason I'm a Slytherin and not a Hufflepuff," she scoffed, refusing to look down as Pippy Potts worked at her shoes. Luckily, the Hufflepuff seemed to understand her place (despite how standoffish she was being!) and complied. Finally, when her shoes her off her feet, Holly took a step backwards and scrunched her nose in displeasure at the halfblood. "Slytherins pride themselves in achievement — which certainly can never be made if one spends time worrying how others view them, Pippy," she sneered. Then, without allowing Pippy another word, she picked up her shoes and took her leave.
