Detention #1:
Three 5th year girls were sitting at a table in the pub called "the Three Broomsticks" drinking Butterbeer. Two girls were from Ravenclaw, both with bleach-blonde hair. The girl with the longest seemed to be too interested in inspecting her surroundings than taking part in the conversation. Her dreamy-looking eyes seemed to be delighted when she found an interesting part of the pub, which was just a simple corner covered in layers of dust. She kept on staring at it though, like she had never such a thing in her life. The other bleach-blonde girl's face was full of delight and even her dark black eyes (which seemed to change color every other second) were laughing with the red-haired girl sitting across from her. At a quick glance, you would have thought that the red headed girl, named Ginny, and Melody that they were giggling over a cute boy, or maybe Ginny's boyfriend, Harry. No, instead, if you decided to look more closely, and even eavesdropped on their conversation, they seemed to have evil grins while comparing their mischievous doings.
"-AND THEN HER HOUSE BLEW UP!" finished Melody, imitating an explosion with her arms, laughing.
Ginny, looking half amused and half in awe, just stared at the girl across from her. After about a minue, Ginny finally spoke.
"Well I guess you win", she said smiling.
"Oh? Well what did I win?" Melody asked with interest.
At this point, the dreamy looking girl named Luna was finally a part of the conversation.
"You can have my Bomble-Noogers" she offered excitedly.
"No thanks", Melody said, trying not to offend her, "I've already got 5 of those."
"Oh well, if you ever need one, you can always come to me" she finished happily with a smile, and went back to staring at the dusty corner she found highly intriguing. She even started writing down notes on a napkin. She seemed to be too wrapped up in the description of the extremely dusty corner that she barely noticed the weird looks her 2 friends were giving her. Pity started to swell up in the other girls' stomachs. It's not like they didn't like her or not want to be her friend, it was just that they wished she was a little more…in her right mind. At that part, a blonde 6th year Slytherin boy walked in and went straight to their table, with triumph all over his face .
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the three little piggies?" he snickered.
"Move along Malfoy. Don't you have a ballerina lesson to go to?" Melody asked casually.
"Where's your sex-slaves Malfoy?" asked Ginny, looking around, "Taking out your anger on us because they've gone on a romantic date without you?"
Malfoy, outraged, pulled out his wand but wasn't quick enough. Ginny had pulled out a think looking can and sprayed a green looking substance all over him. Draco, unsure of what it was, started screaming like a little girl.
"IT BURNS!! IT BURNS!! I'M GOING TO DIE!! OH NOOOO" he squealed.
Melody, taking advantage of his shocked state, decided to jinx him for the hell of it.
"Jibberio!" she yelled, wand pointed towards him.
Now everything that came out of his mouth was jibberish.
"NORMAN GANGLE LIPSIES!!" he yelled.
Taken aback at what had come out of his mouth, he tried again.
"NORMAN GANGLE LIPSIES" he screamed in desperation.
Everyone in the pub started laughing and even Luna took a few minutes from her corner to join in his humiliation. Unfortunately though, the laughter only lasted a few moments, for a man with a cold, blank face, greasy hair, and a black outfit had walked in. The laughing stopped immediately and all eyes turned away, desperately looking for something they could pretend to do. Even Luna knew better, and went back to describing her not-so-interesting corner which she decided to name Conner the Corner. Snape walked slowly to the boy and asked him what had happened as though he wasn't interested at all.
"What happened here?" he clearly was not amused.
"Shormadargen lily-podding" Draco tried.
Snape raised an eyebrow and showed a small sliver of amusement but had then turned to Melody and Ginny, both looking terrified of his appearance, yet happy with their results. They both glanced up at each other, smiled, then immediately went back to looking at the floor as though they were having an interesting conversation with it.
"Ah, Ms. Tonks. What a surprise" he said, clearly not surprised at all.
"Following in your sister's footsteps I see. You and Potter seem to share than in common. I'm half surprised and half not surprised that he didn't cause this…", he looked at Draco, "...mishap."
"But instead, it is you Ms. Weasley. Looks like you to seem to follow your elders. Well both of you obviously did it" he concluded blankly.
"You both can serve detention in my office tomorrow in the morning at 10" he said.
He turned to Luna who was interrogating a piece of that green string of substance that Ginny had produced from the can.
"As for you Ms. Lovegood , it seems as though that you had no part in this, correct?" he asked, partially knowing the answer.
"Hmmmm?" she asked, looking up at him with wide dreamy eyes and a weirdly twisted smile.
"Never mind" he answered, giving her a quizzical look, and even taking a double take, clearly weirded out by her reaction. "Five points from Gryffindor and Ravenclaw" he stated.
The 2 girls groaned. He then turned to Draco, eyeing him up and down.
"As for you Malfoy", he said, "let this be a reminder to never mess with the wrong people. It can end you up covered in…. goop" he finished, picking up a piece of green string substance that was on Draco's shoulder. He seemed to be intrigued an even interested in what it was, but then immediately discarded it and stormed off, leaving Draco still talking in Jibberish. Draco then ran off, following Snape and trying to get him to get rid of the jinx, because if he tried to use a spell, it would come out as something else. Melody and Ginny sat down again, resuming their previous competition of mischief, while Luna turned and started talking to a fork about the weather.
--The Next Day in Detention.--
Snape left them alone to clean the classroom.
"I'll be back in one hour. When I return, this room shall be spotless" he snapped, eyeing all of the spills of chemicals and potions-gone-wrong that were spilled all around his room. "Oh, I forgot to mention. No magic. And think of this as payback, for all of the times that Dumbledore let you free. Have fun" he added sarcastically. He gave them a non-convincing smile and walked off.
Both of the girls groaned and immediately went to work. They decided to split the work in half. One would clean one side and the other would clean the other side. Because of this method, they finished half an hour early, the room looking 158 years younger. Ginny wiped off a bead of sweat from her forehead, and stood admiring their work. She then turned to Melody, and decided that it was time she really got to know her. After all, they had only known each other for 3 days.
"So Melody, tell me about yourself" she said grinning.
"Well, my named is Melody Rose Tonks. I am the younger sister of Nymphadora Tonks, a metamorphogus. She and I share that in common, as well as the love of rock, mischief, and becoming an Auror and joining the Order of the Phoenix. Every now and then I like to change my hair style, and I'm sure you've noticed, I like to change the color of my eyes a lot. I am 15 years old, and even though Dora is 7 years older than me, I am still the spitting image of my sister. I think I'll change my hair now" she concluded.
She changed her hair so all of it was black, except for the tips, which, like her eyes, changed colors every few seconds. She also changed the shape of her hair. Her hair now came down to her shoulders, with jagged, choppy ends. She also didn't hesitate to throw in a side-bang. Finishing her hair, and liking the results, she turned to Ginny, who was staring at her with disbelief.
"What?" she asked uncomfortably, "You've seen Dora change her hair before!"
"Well yeah, but…." Ginny murmured.
"But what?" Melody demanded.
"She's never changed her hair SHAPE before" Ginny stated.
"Oh. Well. Yeah. For some reason, I can change a bit more and I can shift into inanimate objects unlike my sister" Melody confessed, looking a bit shameful.
"NOT THAT ITS BAD!" Ginny said, noticing the expression.
Melody laughed, clearly amused that Ginny had fallen for her fake expression.
"What was that thing that you sprayed on Draco anyway?" Melody asked, before she could get punched by Ginny.
"Oh. That's silly string. Some Muggles use it for their entertainment. My dad found it and bought it for me, since he's really into their inventions" she said casually. "Ron actually wanted it, but instead he got this thing called a baseball bat. It sort of looks like a bigger version of a Beater's stick" she said, clearly happy that she had her silly string. "Speaking of Ron, I need to get back at him, and it seems you have a knack for mischief. Care to join me?" she asked, a devilish grin spreading across her face.
"I'd love to" replied Melody, who was happy to be of service.
The rest of the 20 minutes went by, since they were planning revenge on Ron. Once Snape appeared in the room, total shock in his face because of the cleanliness, the girls smiled at each other, bid their teacher goodbye, and went back to the Great Hall to resume their plans.
