Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, or any of the characters in it, though sometimes I wish I did. Did you know JKR is worth more than the Queen of England? xDD Fun little trivia.

Anyway...Here's the chapter!


'Oh, great. Why couldn't I just keep my stupid mouth shut?' I asked myself. If I had just muffled my laughter, and waited until I was out of the library to burst out laughing, I wouldn't be in mortal danger, of getting detention, that is, and I probably wouldn't be caught. Not that I woul—

I fell on the floor with a thud that interrupted my train of thought. 'Damn that mudblood!' I thought, examining my legs. That filthy being had cast a jelly-legs jinx on me! Fortunately, I knew the countercurse. Unfortunately, Granger had caught up with me by this time I realized this, and I had no chance of escaping detention, even if I could escape an angry Granger.

"Give.Me.My.Hair.Back.Now," she said, spacing the words, exaggerating each syllable. Wait, those were only one syllable words, weren't they? Should've known.

"Sorry Granger, I can't. You'll just have to wait for it to grow back now, won't you?" I wasn't about to lose myself because she was angry. I wasn't about to be a coward, like Draco was in his third year when Granger had threatened him. I smirked at the event. It was a rude wake-up call for Draco, but I must say, he deserved it then. He was being a right bastard, even to his fellow housemates.

Another mistake, because she thought the smirk was directed at her. Gah, why was she so stupid?

"Besides," I continued to taunt, "I did you a favor. You don't know how much your hair infuriated me. How could you stand it? Now, maybe you can take a brush to it as it grows back, and it will be like normal hair when it's back to its normal length."

This must have infuriated her, because her face looked much more angry than it had just two seconds ago. She drew her wand and pointed it at me. I clasped my hands around my own wand, prepared for anything, but mostly prepared to just cast a simple shield charm.

"I'll just have Madame Pomfrey grow it back, and I won't have to worry about any of this." she said, and prepared to cast something at me.

Fortunately for me, I wasn't forced to use magic and have more reasons for a detention piled on me, because at that moment, a Professor walked into the corridor. Unfortunately for me, it was McGonagall. Crap. Why couldn't it have been Professor Snape? I would've gotten off then. I growled at my luck.

"Miss Sosuke, Miss Granger," she greeted, in a business-like tone, "What are you two doing? It isn't common to see a Gryffindor and a Slytherin together, for any reason. And why," she continued, as if she had just seen Granger, "is Miss Granger bald?"

"Professor, she hexed me!" the mudblood accused. Filthy little being.

"She provoked me!" I retaliated.

"How in the world did I provoke you?" she argued, "I stay as far away from you Slytherins as I can!"

"Girls, enough," McGonagall said, her tone stern now, her head turning toward me, "Did you hex Miss Granger?"

I hesitated, even though I knew I wouldn't be able to lie my way out of this one, and sighed in defeat. Well, not total defeat. I'd get Granger back later. "Yes ma'am."

"Detention, tonight at 7:00 sharp, in my office. Both of you."

Hermione's was gaping like a fish. I was just shocked, and a smug smirk spread across my face.

"B-But Professor, I didn't do anything!" Granger practically wailed.

"I don't recall Miss Sosuke being one for casting a jelly-legs jinx on herself, Hermione." McGonagall explained as she cast the countercurse for the jinx.

Granger looked down. "Oh." Was all she could say. "Well, can I go to the hospital wing and have Madame Pomfrey grow it back? Before detention?"

"No, I'm afraid that won't be possible." McGonagall explained, "Madame Pomfrey is in London right now, restocking her supplies. She won't be back until tomorrow evening."

"WHAT?!?" Granger exclaimed, "You mean I have to go around like this," she gestured at her head, "all day tomorrow??"

"I'm afraid so, Hermione," McGonagall said, but her face looked slightly amused. Ah, a woman after my heart. Well, in some areas. But you couldn't help but to be amused at Granger's head now. It was so funny!

I was actually glad that I hadn't cast the countercurse by myself. After all, if I had, Granger would have gotten off completely.

Looks like I would have a detention to serve tonight. I sighed. Well, McGonagall's not known for harsh punishments, at least.
