At Hogwarts Again
"First Detention"
Abbie Haven Snape

"Holly, just calm down, we aren't going to get caught."

The fiery red head glared at James as they stood in the Gryffindor common room. It was the second week of school and so far James had been on his best behavior despite Victoire and Teddy trying to get him in trouble. Like Teddy changing Professor Longbottom's hair the same as his that day, bright blue. But James talked himself out of that one and managed to get Teddy in detention instead.

"How aren't we going to be seen?" she asked, arms crossed over her chest.

"Because of this, my dearie," said James, pulling out his Invisibility Cloak.

"Don't call me that and it's just a cloak. I think they will still see us even if we are under that ugly, over sized cloak."

James stared at her for a second, blinking a few times. "For a witch, I worry about you."

"Why?"

"It's an Invisibility Cloak Holly."

Holly looked at him for a second before a small smile appeared on her pale by nature face. "Really?"

He nodded, smiling. "Now, do you still wish to go to the kitchens with me?"

"Why did you ask me anyway?"

"Because you are my friend…or at least I hope I am your friend, otherwise, you shall be a lonely girl considering I'm the only one you hang out with."

It was true. He didn't know if he was her only friend or she secretly loved him as much as he already knew he loved her. He wasn't sure. But he really didn't care which it was because they sat beside each other in very class and ate meals together.

Holly slapped him on the arm. "And what if we are caught?"

"They will expel us."

James actually laughed at Holly's scared expression.

"Don't worry. Dad is Head of the Auror Department and my Aunt Hermione is in pretty well in with the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Together, they can get us out of it."

"I'm not going."

"Holly…I'm joking."

"I don't care. I'm not going."

"The most would be detention."

Holly glared at him even harder before heading toward her dormitory. James ran in front of her, making her stop.

"We aren't going to get caught. I promise. We have the Invisibility cloak. It's kind of…invincible. And besides, you are with me."

"That's a comfort."

"Haha, you're funny. Now, come on, please," said James, giving her the pout. Holly just glared at him keeping her feet firmly planted on the ground until a small smile on her lips began to betray her. James gave a huge smile, slipping the cloak over the both of them.

They slipped out of the common room, giving the Fat Lady quiet a scare when she didn't see anyone exit the room. They heard her mutter something about lack of sleep as they headed down the stairs.

"How do you know where the kitchens are?" whispered Holly.

"This cloak maybe invincible but its not sound proof," he hissed at her as they walked. "My father told me."

"We aren't supposed to go there, are we?"

"Do you want to get caught?"

Holly elbowed him as they walked, finally not talking anymore. They reached the first floor without running into anyone. That was until Mrs. Norris showed up.

"Shoot…I thought that cat was dead! I'm killing Teddy," muttered James as the cat came toward them.

"What's your problem? It's just someone's cat," whispered Holly.

"If the cat's not dead, then…"

Right then, Filch appeared the corner. James grabbed Holly by the shoulders and pushed her against the wall as he came toward them. He placed his hand over her mouth to make sure she didn't speak. The Headmaster didn't mention Filch at the start of term feast. That was why he was sure the old caretaker was dead.

"What is it my sweet? Someone out of bed?" asked Filch, looking at Mrs. Norris.

If it wasn't for James' hand, a giggle would have escaped Holly's lips as the watched Filch move down the corridor. James grabbed her hand and started to slowly head toward the stairs.

He, however, stepped on the edge of the cloak, sending the both of them to the floor with bang and pulling the cloak off of them. The cloak was rather big, it covered both of them without any trouble but both were rather short.

Filch turned to them and smiled. "Potter."

"Damn, how does he know me already," muttered James, standing up. "Hide the cloak in your robe."

"Out past curfew, we are in trouble now. Follow me, both of you," said Filch.

Holly glared at James as they walked up a floor. "Not going to get caught?"

"I thought he was dead!"

"That's an awful thing to think!"

"Quiet, both of you!"

All James wanted to do was go to the kitchens. And he couldn't blame anyone but himself for getting caught. He had to trip over the cloak!

"James…he's taking us to the Headmaster!" hissed Holly, actually grabbing on to his arm.

"No he's…okay, yes, he is," said James as the stopped in front of the gargoyle that lead up to the Headmaster's office.

"We are going to be expelled!"

"Holly, calm down."

She glared at him yet again that night.

"Sugar quills," said Filch and the gargoyle sprang to life. "Get in."

The two first years climbed into the staircase as it spun up the tower. Filch followed behind them, excited. He couldn't wait to get them in trouble.

Holly squeezed James' arm as Filch knocked on the door. "I'm going to kill you James Potter," she muttered as the heard the Headmaster's voice telling them to come in.

"Calm. Down," he said.

"Mr. Filch, what can I do for you at this hour?" asked Headmaster Calhoun, glancing up from his sitting position behind his desk.

"Two students out of bed Headmaster," said Filch.

Calhoun looked behind Filch at the two students and nodded. "Thank you. I'll take care of them from here Argus."

Filch gave the two of them a weird smile as he closed the door. Holly glanced at James, panic clear in her face.

"Take a seat James, Holly," said Calhoun, waving his hand toward two seats in front of his desk.

Doing what they were told, they took their seats. Both of them glanced around, taking in the room. Especially all the portraits of the sleeping Headmasters and Mistresses. James actually smiled at two of the portraits, the only ones not asleep.

"Why were the both of you out of bed past curfew?" asked Calhoun.

"We were going to go get some pudding from the kitchens," said James, opting to be truthful, well mostly truthful.

"Kitchens? How does a first year know where the kitchens are?"

James actually smiled. "I'm a Potter Headmaster."

Holly's head snapped toward him.

Calhoun actually smiled. "Yes, I wondered how long it would take for you to end up in my office James."

"If Teddy doesn't stop trying to pin things on me…" he muttered.

"Yes, Mr. Lupin does seem to have an act for trouble as well."

"I don't have an act for trouble. Trouble finds me," said James. Then he sat there for a second, thinking. "Well, I just blame it all on my name and family."

"Family?"

"Are you forgetting Archie that James here is named after two of the biggest trouble makers in Hogwarts history? Or the fact that his uncles are a very close second," said the portrait of Albus Dumbledore.

"People just don't seem to realize how much I have on my name Headmaster," said James looking at Calhoun before glancing up at Dumbledore. "Hello Headmaster Dumbledore."

"Hello James. Parents well?"

"Yes sir. Very well actually."

"Excellent. And your siblings?"

"A pain but well. I'll have to remember to get my brother in trouble when he comes in two years so he can come up here and meet you. As well as Headmaster Snape," said James, nodding to the portrait beside Dumbledore's.

"Why is that James?" asked Dumbledore as Snape finally looked at the boy.

"I'll let him tell you. Did you know my siblings names?"

Snape glanced at Dumbledore who was smiling. "Yes. I'm quiet flattered." Snape rolled his eyes.

"Do you, Headmaster Snape?"

"I don't care what the famous Harry Potter names his children."

"Maybe you should."

Snape looked at the boy who turned back to the Calhoun. The present Headmaster was actually enjoying the exchange. Holly was just staring at her friend.

"Sorry sir."

Calhoun just nodded. "Being out past curfew is serious here at Hogwarts. Even if you are visiting the kitchens, do it during curfew."

"Yes sir," the both said.

"Now, you will be serving detention with me tonight for your rule breaking. Follow me. Albus, we shall continue our conversation later?"

"Of course Archie."

Calhoun walked to the door and opened it for them. The both stepped out on the steps and waited for the Headmaster to grab his robe.

"Detention. I have detention already."

"Get use to it dearie if you are going to be hanging out with me."

"Arrogant," said Holly.

"Ah, you are still beside me, after two weeks, aren't you? So I must not be too arrogant. I would go as far to say that you actually like me."

"If I didn't like you I wouldn't be spending all my time with you but you are still arrogant and somewhat of a jerk."

"Thank you."

Holly rolled her eyes as Calhoun reappeared. Headmaster led them all the way down to the Entrance Hall and took them to the door right of the main staircase. James realized that this was the way to the kitchens. And it was true. The Headmaster actually led them to the kitchens. He tickled the pear in the painting and it opened up.

"James?" whispered Holly.

"It's the kitchens," he whispered back.

James shrugged at Holly's questioning look.

"Since the two of you were heading this way anyway, you can help the house elves with breakfast."

"Headmaster! Can we get you something!" said one of the house elves.

"Three bowls of pudding please Edie."

"Right away Headmaster!"

Holly and James smiled at each as Edie reappeared with three bowls of pudding. Headmaster nodded for them to take the other two bowls.

"Also, Edie, will you find something for these two to do for a few hours? They are serving detention."

"But sir, we house elves are capable…"

"And you guys to an excellent job but I need these two to do some kind of punishment. Can you do that for me?"

"Of course sir."

"Thank you. Three hours of helping, then straight to the Gryffindor common room with the two of you."

"Yes sir," they said as they ate their pudding.

"And no visits to my office any more this month or I will have to contact your parents."

"Yes sir."

Calhoun finished his pudding. "Thank you Edie. James, Holly, good night."

"Good night sir."

The Headmaster left the kitchens and James glanced at Holly.

"Not bad first detention."

Holly slapped him on the arm. "It's still detention! Edie, what would you have us do?"

"I'm not sure…"

"Young Master James!"

James smiled. "Hey Kreacher!"

"You came and visited me!"

"I told you I would."

Holly smiled at the house elf as it looked at her. James looked between them and smiled. "Kreacher, this is my friend Holly. Holly, meet Kreacher. He's kind of like our family house elf."

"If he's your house elf, then why is he at Hogwarts?"

"Um…long story actually. Cliff notes, Dad sent him here like when he was sixteen because he inherited him but he still comes to the house sometimes."

"Your family is odd."

"I know."

James and Holly followed Edie back into kitchens who found them a job cleaning up the counters and floors. Three hours went by fast considering they didn't do much cleaning but rather more talking to all the house elves.

After their detention, they put the Invisibility Cloak back over themselves and went back to the Gryffindor common room.

"I'm going to bed now," stated Holly, looking at James.

"Right…"

Holly turned and headed toward her dormitory but James grabbed her arm again. "Sorry about the detention. It was all my fault."

Holly just smiled at him. "We got to the kitchens, didn't we? I'll see you in the morning."

James smiled as Holly walked away. He was a happy boy. Holly had fun. He could have as many detentions as he got as long as Holly was happy.
