“Okay. So you’re in detention…Johnson, you’re in and so is…..Teizon, do you have detention with these two tomorrow?” Wood asks, pointing to the twins as many times all three of us end up in detention.

I side step out from behind Angie, since my lame attempt at hiding failed. “No, I don’t have detention.”

“Good, then you can come to tryouts,” Wood says.

He rolls his eyes, seeming a little less concerned. “What happened this time?”

“Don’t roll your eyes at me,” I say, smiling as I cross my arms.

He rolls his eyes again and I laugh.

“I ‘questioned his authority’ again. Well, at least according to him,” I say.

“I’m in love with you Hailey.”

I roll my eyes. “Does it help if I say Kelsey and I were the ones who took it a bit over the top?”

Mark rolls his eyes, getting a forkful of pork. “I thought this was going to be some exciting story!” he whines before sticking his fork in his mouth.

“How was Potions?” He asks, sliding his hand into mine before leading me up the stairs he had just come down.

“The part of class I was actually in went quite horribly,” I say quickly, not looking over at him.

“So did he deserve the punch?” George asks after a moment of silence, a smile in his voice.

“Let the fun begin,” I mutter before turning and starting to run towards the quarter field mark.

“Hey, this is a blast,” He says, grinning as he shoots up ten feet to hit a Bludger. Water goes flying from off his bat and the bludger, and he looks at me, his grin widening before he shoots off across the field.

“Hey. This is gonna be fun…I can feel it,” Fred says.

“Fun as in detention? Sounds like a blast,” I reply sarcastically.

“Oh yeah,” George says. “Detention until we can’t see straight…”

“How did you and Fred manage this?” I ask, raising an eyebrow.

“Magic,” He says smugly.

I can’t help but laugh. “That answer doesn’t surprise me at all.”

 “Oh dear Merlin,” Katie says, looking horror struck as her eyes skim down the page.

“Oi, Fred, no face shots,” I say, throwing a snowball at him.

“It missed your face,” He says back, as he ducks a snow ball.

“Barely,” I say back, launching another snow ball his way.

 “My dorm mates hate me, I think,” I say.

His body shakes as he chuckles. “They got up early to pack.”

It’s more of a statement than a question, but I feel the need to answer. “Yes. Of course they did, especially at some god awful time in the morning.”

“No face shots,” Tait agrees as he swoops out of nowhere between Kelsey and I.

“Aw, come on! It’s only fun if someone takes some snow to the face,” Mark says, looping around to join us.

“Heard my audience was necessary,” I say brushing my bangs out of my face.

Wood glares at me for a moment. “Nice of you to join us.”

 “You know… you are pretty smart some days.”

“Some days?” I pout dramatically.

Oh look! A new chapter!

 I pause the movement of the knife and look over at him. “Tell me you weren’t about to say you’re sorry again.”

 We continue down a set of stairs and when I come to realize that he won’t say anything more, I ask, “Mark, what is it?”

He glances over at me and then in front of us. “He knows.”

I stay quiet for a moment, looking over at Skye who seems just as lost as I am.

“He knows?”
