Well, the jig is up. If her House mates had any doubts about Sadde, they're gone.

...kinda. She's still young enough and androgynous enough that most of them think it's just a matter of changing her hair a bit and maybe some makeup and differently cut robes. It's not a belief that stands a whole lot of scrutiny, but given that most Slytherins give her a fairly wide berth, there's not actually been a whole lot of scrutiny.

She did find the Hufflepuff boy she spooked and tell him about it and offer to help him with his Potions homework. He was quite bewildered and suspicious because Slytherin so he didn't accept her help, but she told him to watch who she hangs out with so that he'd see she's Not Like Other Slytherins, and eventually he agreed, unable to see any way this could be a cunning plot. Which just goes to show that some people really couldn't be Slytherins.

Presently, it's Sunday, and Sadde would really like to talk to a certain Hat, which means she needs to talk to a certain Headmistress, and she suspects the most likely place she'll find her is the Head Table, at one of the meals. Breakfast is the first of those! Is McGonagall there?

Karen grabs the most similar thing within arm's reach to a cookie (it's a frosted madeline) and hands it over.

Om nom! She beams at Karen.

"Well, I'm glad you're having fun with politics."

"I am! Jacob's gonna report to me this weekend about stuff."

"Report to you."

"...wow, do I have a conspiracy already?"

"Or something!"

"Nope! I am the Underground Queen Firsty! Pulling strings aboveground, only a select trusted few know the extent of my influence, everything's under my control, mwa ha ha." She grins.

"I feel so honored to be a select trusted few."

"You should be! And when your mysterious ambitions bear fruit and you take over the world you'll have all these nifty little connections and this web of influence via me!"

"You can network so I don't have to."

"Why don't you like networking?"

"It's... fine in theory, but I'm an introvert and don't like hanging out with people I don't really like, and I don't really like most people."

"Well, I guess it's my turn to feel flattered, then!"

"You're interesting. If irrepressible."

"Would I be as interesting if I were repressible?"

"You could be."

"Ceteris paribus!"

"You'd be differently interesting and possibly in a more focused way. But if that was all you changed and you didn't replace your irrepressibility with anything else you'd probably have a lot of time allocated for doing literally nothing, which would admittedly be dull."

"Yeah! And I think it's fun to be irrepressible. You should try it sometime." She shakes her head. "Anyway, why do you not really like a lot of people?"

"Usually there just doesn't seem to be any reason to like them."

"...huh. Yeah that's not really how I work."

"Obviously."

She grins.

Willow looks at Karen and says, "Maybe we should start a club for friends of people who will take over the world."
