She was only two steps away from the girl when she heard the unmistakable word "whore" thrown in her direction. It wasn't the first time she'd been called that and she knew it wouldn't be the last. Not wishing to allow the girl to believe that she'd managed to win the upper hand, Hermione turned back around. Startled that she wasn't leaving, fear was splashed across Julia's face. Yes, she was one of the nasty people who was perfectly happy spewing rubbish behind someone's back, but terrified if they turned back around. She wouldn't last long in their world. Deciding that she wouldn't allow Hermione to intimidate her, Julia tried to make it seem like she wasn't afraid.
