A/N Sorry about the mess-up, my copy/paste stuff acted up and idk what happened, hopefully it will be less repetitive and confusing now =)
She stalked down the hallway with Albus sprinting after her. She whipped around and said angrily, "Albus, just because I'm a Hufflepuff doesn't mean I won't hurt you for following me."
"C'mon Savannah you can't seriously still be mad about Scorpius are you? I mean, that was terrible but he's still one of your friends," The easily forgiving Albus pointed out.
"Why does it matter to you?"
"Because you just punched someone in the face and scored us both detention! With Hagrid"
"It's not that bad Albus, and you didn't have to step in. At least we don't have Snape or Lockhart like your dad did.
Albus disagreed quickly, "But he thinks every single monster is adorable. Remember what I told you Uncle Ron said about those blast-ended skrewts?" Albus shuddered, not wanting to think about it
Savannah, not wanting to deter from her point, continued, "and we don't have Umbridge or the Carrows."
Albus gave up, not wanting to argue with the stubborn Hufflepuff.
Flashback to an hour ago
Savannah Simmons walked calmly into her Herbology class with the Slytherins, making sure to stop and wave at one of her friends, Scorpius Malfoy. She slid into her seat next to her best friend Aimee Fitz attempting jokingly to push her off the side. They both burst into a fit of giggles and a particularly sour slytherin sitting behind them told them to "stuff it" but he may or may not have picked a few more choice words after that.
"Hello class," Professor Longbottom smiled at them all warmly. "Do any of you remember what big event occurred at this school about 26 years ago?" He looked pointedly at Albus, who happened to not be paying any attention at all.
Savannah raised her hand reluctantly considering nobody else in the class seemed to know the answer
"Yes Miss Simmons?"
"Wasn't it the Triwizard tournament sir?"
"Yes very good Savannah. Now, if you all remember, or don't, Harry Potter, Albus, used gillyweed to complete the second task." The class nodded. "This is what we will be studying today. We will also be switching tables."
Savannah looked over to Aimee, worried. At least Savannah knew a few people; Aimee was sort of shy and didn't talk much around anyone except for Savannah herself.
Aimee said, "Don't worry I'll be fine, I'll manage to speak to people." She smiled reassuringly.
Savannah replied, "Alright then."
They all moved around to the different tables Professor Longbottom pointed them to. Savannah let out a huge sigh of relief when her name was called next to Scorpius'. She slid onto the bench next to him facing their other tablemates, the sour slytherin from earlier, and a particularly quiet girl from Hufflepuff, whom Savannah knew to be Carlee Abbott. Savannah felt happy with her new table mates, only wishing that Aimee wasn't put on the other side of the room with three large Slytherin Quidditch playing jocks.
Scorpius noticed Savannah glancing at Aimee with a concerned look. "She'll be fine, they're not all that bad."
Savannah nodded, although not totally reassured.
Professor Longbottom began class as they all took notes, Scorpius and the other Slytherin whispering across the table to each other.
Savannah nudged Scorpius in the arm, encouraging him to shut up, and she heard a certain word slip out of his mouth. She stared at him with disbelief. "You did not just say that."
He stammered back, "I-I-I-I didn't m-mean it, I'm sorry!" He began tripping over his words, not making any sense.
Savannah stood up suddenly, drawing the attention of the class. She addressed him rather calmly, "Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy, I don't want to ever hear that word out of your mouth again or I will personally punch you in the face."
Scorpius stuttered, I-I didn't mean to call you it, it just sort of…. slipped out, the mudblood par-" He was cut off by Savannah, who kept true to her promise, and punched him in the face.
He was so cut off guard by the fact that sweet, caring, Hufflepuff, Savannah Simmons had just punched him in the face, that he almost didn't notice that the whole class was staring at them. Nor did he notice right away, a moment later, when he was pushed backwards onto the floor. Expecting another punch from the feisty Hufflepuff, he winced, but feeling no more pain, he opened an eye reluctantly to see Savannah being held back by Professor Longbottom and Aimee, who were barely managing to keep the teary-eyed, brows furrowed, clenched fist, Hufflepuff contained, whom he had just called… oh gods… He suddenly realized that he deserved all that she just did to him, and much more. Why. Why did he have to let that word slip out? He just had to call- his thoughts were interrupted by Albus stepping into the ring.
"Why does it matter if she punched him?! You heard what he called her! He may be one of my friends, but STILL!" Albus continued arguing with the teacher until Professor Longbottom suddenly interjected.
"That's enough. Potter, Simmons, you two will serve detention tonight with Hagrid. Go to his cabin at eight. I'm sorry, but no matter what the circumstances, I have to give you detention," He added in a hushed tone, "no matter what I think about the subject." He went back to his normal volume, "Class dismissed, don't forget to read page 144-163 in your textbook tonight!"
Back to earlier
(RECAP) She stalked down the hallway with Albus sprinting after her. She whipped around and said angrily, "Albus, just because I'm a Hufflepuff doesn't mean I won't hurt you for following me."
"C'mon Savannah you can't seriously still be mad about Scorpius are you?"
"Why does it matter to you?"
"Because you just punched someone in the face and scored us both detention! With Hagrid"
"It's not that bad Albus, and you didn't have to step in. At least we don't have Snape or Lockhart like your dad did.
Albus disagreed quickly, "But he thinks every single monster is adorable. Remember what I told you Uncle Ron said about those blast-ended skrewts?" Albus shuddered, not wanting to think about it
Savannah, not wanting to deter from her point, continued, "and we don't have Umbridge or the Carrows."
Albus gave up, not wanting to argue with the stubborn Hufflepuff.
(RECAP OVER)
They separated, Albus heading to the dungeons, Savannah heading towards the kitchens. She tickled the pear with a sullen look on her face, the giggling of the fruit not nearly as uplifting as usual. She stepped into the kitchen to find another of her best friend's little brother sitting at the table stuffing his face with various sweets, the house elves constantly bringing him more.
Savannah said, "Hugo if you keep eating like that you'll get a stomach ache. And also, close your mouth you look like a savage."
Hugo left his mouth open just to irk her, purposefully not swallowing all his food when he spoke, "mhph sakbf uksbjdfc isvf"
Savannah sighed, "I can't understand a word you're saying Hugo. Swallow your food at least."
He finally swallowed, repeating his sentence, "what's wrong with you?"
"Excuse me?"
"You look like you saw your dog's ghost which you didn't know was dead."
"Oh, I had a row with Scorpius in Herbology. Don't wanna talk about it much right now"
"But-" He was cut of quickly by Savannah.
"Not. Right. Now."
Hugo knew better than to argue with her, considering he just told him she had had a row with Scorpius of all people, why she wasn't in Gryffindor he'd never know. He wisely shut up.
"Do you know where your sister is?"
Hugo replied, choosing his words carefully as to not upset the clearly angry Savannah, "Upstairs in the library last I saw her."
Savannah nodded in appreciation, "Thanks Hugo" She turned around and grabbed an apple before leaving. "Bye"
Savannah walked up to the library, looking surprisingly calm for someone who had just punched her friend in the face five minutes earlier. She walked towards the table she saw Rose sitting at, dropping her bag and propping her feet on the desk before Rose noticed her presence.
"Oh hi Savannah," she looked up to greet her friend with a smile on her face. Her smile quickly diminished when she saw Savannah, "Alright what's wrong?"
Savannah didn't even question how Rose could tell she was upset, the witty Gryffindor could read people's emotions almost better then the books she constantly had her nose in.
Savannah quickly spilled everything that had happened over the past hour and a half, making sure to tell her to make her brother chew with his mouth closed more often. "I wouldn't surprised if he has a stomach ache tomorrow by the way," she added, noting how many sweets wrappers she had seen discarded on the floor.
Rose knew that saying anything bad or good about Scorpius wouldn't make her feel any better so she gently pulled Savannah in for a hug. This made Savannah feel a ton better and pulled away from Rose with a lit up face. "I have a brilliant idea," she said simply before grabbing her bag, slinging it over her shoulder and walking quickly to her dorm. Past the kitchens and into the common room, Savannah lead Rose into the Hufflepuff fourth year girl's dorm. Savannah collapsed backwards onto her bed, Rose doing the same, after setting her bag down at the foot of the bed"
Savannah started talking, "We can invite Albus and Hugo and Aimee and-" Rose cut her off.
"I still don't know what this brilliant idea of yours is, and why we're inviting people to it."
"Oh," Savannah said, laughing briefly, "truth or dare of course!"
Rose didn't know what to think for a moment. She replied reluctantly, "I guess I'm in."
"Well obviously."
