Nikolas looked skeptical, but the expression was softened by a grin that was meant to indicate he wasn't as cocky about the game as his words implied.

Her laugh did make him feel a bit better about it, though.
"I have the feeling you'll have the school at large behind you," he mused. Slytherin never warranted the cheers of any house but their own, and Nikolas understood why. He thought it was rubbish, but it was how things had been for generations. "But I guess we'll see."
Nikolas straightened up and leaned forward, clasping his hands in front of him. He thought perhaps he should ask about her family, given the conversation last time. It seemed like a heavy topic, though, and not one he wanted to breech now. Later, maybe.
