A/N Alright so here's my Ravenclaw entry! =] I had Penelope Clearwater, with the prompt "Too Late" And the Genre Action/Adventure.

I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognize.

It was a clam, but spooky kind of night. You know, like the ones where everything is quiet and yet something seems out of place. I couldn't quite put my finger on what that was, however, as I took my usual patrols through the corridors. I think that's probably what I like most about being Head Girl. The chance to wander about the castle at nighttime without having to worry about getting in trouble with teachers, but instead you're the one looking for trouble.

Normally I do my patrols with Percy, but I told him to take the night off because he had a lot of homework to do. I had already finished mine. That's the good thing about being in Ravenclaw. Your mind doesn't have a chance to fight you with doing your homework. It wants you to. So when everyone else is hanging with friends, or playing Quidditch, you're sitting there doing your homework. Then, however, when they're all cramming the night before, you can relax. So it all works out in the end.

I decided that I would take a stroll out by the lake. Normally people don't go out there at night because of the squid, and the Forbidden Forest. I kind of like it, though. It's peaceful and the moon reflecting off the water is absolutely breath taking. Although tonight I couldn't take the time to admire it because I found that I wasn't alone. Some rowdy Slytherins decided to wander around at night, I didn't want to bother them, but sadly had to.

"Hey!" I exclaimed. "What are you guys doing! It's past curfew! You shouldn't be out this late! This means detention!" I finished yelling at them as they began to laugh.

"Ha! That means you have to remember this to give us a detention," A little blond one said before I recognized it was Malfoy.

"Malfoy, was that a threat?" I questioned him with a stern voice.

"What do you think, Crabbe? Was it a threat?" He taunted before looking at one of the fat boys flanking him, then reaching in his robes he pulled out his wand.

"You really don't wanna do that," I told him, in an attempt to make it so this didn't turn into a fight, but pulled out my wand just in case.

"Rictumsempra!" He yelled as I followed closely by with a shout, "Protego!" Successfully blocking his spell.

"You won't win! Just give it up, and get a detention!" I told him in one last chance to stop this.

"Never!" He replied with a shout before firing another spell at me. I blocked it once more. Not wanting to do anything but block myself from getting hurt. After about three more spells, I finally got tired of it.

"Expeliarmus!" Going with a disarming spell instead of something lethal like I wanted to. His wand went flying out of his hand and into mine, as did his two flanks. He was in pure shock and that shock turned to fear quickly.

"Alright! We'll take the detentions!" He gave in finally.

"Too late! You had your chance! You're going to the Headmaster's office," I told them as I motioned for them to follow me. It was a quiet walk, in which nobody talked except for when I told him to stop trying to make a grab for his wand. I told the gargoyles the password and told the boys to go first as the staircase escalated and brought us to the office door. I knocked harshly, and heard a soft "Come in" issued from within, I pushed it open and held the door open for the three trouble makers.

"Professor, I caught these three out of bed. After I told them that they needed to get back to their dormitories, and that I was going to be giving them a detention they tried to fight me. Well. Malfoy tried to fight me. In which I blocked at first, then finally disarmed them all," I explained before giving him the three's wand's.

"Very well, Miss Clearwater. I will deal with them from here, thank you. You are free to presume your duties." He dismissed me before turning back to the boys. I made my way quietly from his office, but not until after I heard a major deduction of points from the Slytherin house. Oh Joy. I'm gonna be screwed tomorrow when they find out I was to blame. I thought to myself as I dragged my feet the entire way back to my common room. Dreading the morning and day to come.
