Liz rolled her eyes. "Maddiie, stop generalizing. It's not only Slytherins that can speak parseltongue, quite obviously. And I'd appreciate it if you'd stop trying to provoke Bellatrix. To be quite honest, if I had everyone provoking me all the time, I'd likely hex half of Hogwarts. She's being pretty amazing, holding back through all your jibes. If you really need to insult someone, begin insulting me. Honestly, there's plenty to poke fun at. We can go for a walk if you like. Spend the entire time insulting me, rather, because it's going to be hard for you to invoke my temper in a way that would get me sent to Azkaban."
Liz narrowed her eyes. "Basically, you're safer harrassing me. From myself and Bellatrix."
