Ruby had wanted to hurt Cassia Fawley with her words, but her success had brought her no joy. On one hand, it was satisfying that the Hufflepuff had been verbally defeated because she couldn't justify her sister's behavior. Cordelia Fawley couldn't be excused even by her own sister. This clearly showed who had the moral high ground.
Yet, Cassia Fawley wasn't like her sister and Ruby sensed that by the way the Hufflepuff had left. If it had been Cordelia Fawley, they might have been with their wands out by now, who knows. The Hufflepuff, on the other hand, had seemed genuinely upset and ashamed about the accusations against her family.
Ruby felt kind of bad. But the Urquarts had been wronged time and again and part of her was satisfied that someone else got to feel bad for something their sister had done (or not really done, in Topaz's case).
It was sad, though, and Ruby felt somewhat guilty for upsetting Cassia Fawley, not that she would ever admit as much to the sister of one of her biggest enemies.
