There was one thing that set Maxie off on an absolute spiral, and that was when one messed with one of her potions. Or her brother being her brother, but that was another matter entirely. Maxie prided herself on her potions, so for one to practically insult her skills by any means or matter, it was as though they were truly trying to get under her skin. It was like the one topic that would really make her forget herself when it came to be lady-like in terms of being an agreeable young lady.

The determined Slytherin did not find herself to be intimidated by Miss Thompsett's cold stare. But none the less, the rage was beginning to leave finally after so long of being bottled up inside since class. A deep, yet subtle, breath and Maxie gave a swift nod. "We are." She stated, her own voice beginning to migrate back to it's typical proper-young-lady tone.
