Holly gave her a weird, almost confused look.
"A hex or curse takes the least amount of effort." And the least amount of dirt on her hands (or blood, she thought, as the malevolence in this girl's smile made her second-guess whether the revenge she had in mind was deadly or not). "Besides, I wouldn't waste my time on a street rat - it's unbecoming no matter how sweet his cries might sound," she added.
The girl was decidedly Irish, and though Holly didn't have any solid opinions on that, the accent made the girl's words sound even harsher - in some way. Trouble was something Holly was looking to avoid; with people associating her with her violent uncle, she had no need to give society reason to think her capable of violence.
"I'm Holly Scrimgeour. You should know that; we were in classes together for an entire school year," she continued. "I know you're the girl with the strange name nobody bothers to pronounce."
