Zanna didn't flinch at all as Valorie pulled out her wand threateningly. She stared up at the two girls hovering above her with no appearance of fear. "I already told you. I'm reading, this is a library Miss. Goyle, not a practice arena." She said slowly, watching Val stroke her wand. "However, you have made me curious as to why you are threatening me in the first place, have you expanded beyond spreading lies about people to cornering them while they are studying and hexing them?" She asked seriously. She brushed some of her bright hair out of her eyes and adjusted her glasses. "Besides, I didn't hear enough to get you in any trouble, whatever you were talking about was quite boring." She said, looking down at her colorfully illustrated page once more.

Valorie's heart sped up and raced as she listened to Zany. "What exactly," she asked through clenched teeth, "did you hear?" Her hand tightened on her wand until her knuckles turned white, and Val could feel the color draining from her face. How could she have been so stupid? First she told Amy. Then she talked about it in the LIBRARY. Anyone could be in the library. And with the number of lousy eavesdroppers the Weasleys and Potters had turned out, there was no way this could have been safe.

Zany sighed and looked up again, seeing that this was upsetting Valorie. "Nothing surprising, just something about your family and Moldy Voldy, but everyone knew that, so I don't see the problem." She giggled slightly to herself, "you guys aren't very quiet when you were talking about that stuff, you should really be more on the down low." She glanced around, "It's not like I care Miss. Goyle, my father was the one obsessed with tracking down all that evil jazz, personally I'd like to set up a Nargle farm and let little children pet them for a small fee. I'd have half price during holiday of course." She smiled at the two girls.

Valorie looked at her for a moment, uncertain about how much of a threat the girl posed. It seemed like she'd heard it, but Val honestly believed that she didn't care. "How bout this," Val said, trying to sound kinder, "I would really appreciate it if you didn't let anyone know any of what you heard. Do you think you could do me that favor? I'll even do something for you in return. I'll owe you something. Just don't tell anyone ANY of what you heard."

Zany's eye's twinkled at the thought of Valorie Goyle owing her something. "What kind of something?" She asked, curious slightly as to why this was so important to the Goyle girl. "There's not much you could do for me, you are a year under me Miss. Goyle." She smirked, waiting for Valorie to think of something worthwhile. The other girl, Amy she thought her name was, rolled her eyes at the two of them. Zany raised an eyebrow at the other girl, but ignored it.
(ooc: I don't feel like adding Amy in lol)

Valorie looked at Zany for a moment. "You may be older than me, but I tend to have more influence around here. You never know. I could get you out of a pinch. Stand up for you when there's another crazy rumor. You'd be surprised what I could do for you." Val wasn't normally the type to beg and plead desperately, but desperate times call for desperate action, and she knew she had to put it all out there. If this got around and her brother found out she'd told, there was no telling what kind of trouble she'd get into.

Valorie thought as hard as she could. There had to be something she could do for Zany Potter. Then it hit her. "I can stop that terrible rumor about Annie. I know she's a good friend of yours. You say the word, and that rumor is gone. I know I can do that much for you." Val was crossing her fingers behind her back, hoping with all she had that this could be enough. She really just needed Zany to not tell anyone.

Zany looked up quickly, squinting in suspicion. "What rumor?" She asked. Zany wasn't exactly up to date with rumors around school, but she was surprised she hadn't heard whatever doozy of a rumor Valorie had come up with for her friend Annie Longbottom. Depending on the rumor, it could be beneficial for her to agree not to tell.

"Well, I heard that she was seen snogging Trevor Mill from Ravenclaw. You know, the gross one." Valorie looked Zany in the eye, hoping to convey how important it was that she didn't tell Val's secret. Hopefully this rumor was terrible enough the tempt Zany. Otherwise, Val could be dead. Deader than dead. "I heard he never bathes," Val added, just to show the sheer desperation of the rumor in question.

Zany rolled her eyes. "He bathes. He just gets zapped with a hex every morning at breakfast by a group of Slytherin 6th years." She smirked. "But I am tired of your pleading so fine, I won't tell anyone what you and your darling brother were talking about." Zany sighed to herself, wishing Valorie had come up with something better, but realized that Val probably wasn't that creative, being a Slytherin and all. Putting her nose back into her book she assumed they would leave.

Valorie breathed a deep sigh of relief. Her secret was safe. For now. Until Amy told. Then she was dead. But for now, she was ok. "Let's go, Amy," she said, turning to her best friend. "It's nearly lunch, and they are serving shepherd's pie today. I love shepherd's pie. not to mention I have some rumor combating to do. That's always tiring work." Still chattering endlessly, Valorie led the way out of the library and toward the Great Hall for a lovely lunch.
