Chapter Four-Detention with the Banshee and Whale

Needless to say, I was late.

McGonagall, luckily, either choose not to notice or care tonight, because she didn't even bother to look up as I ran to my desk, quite loudly to be honest. Abby and Sophie were there already, sitting in desks at the front row, an empty one in between them. Great, must be for me.

I sat down and patiently waited for her to begin the detention.

What would it be tonight? Lines or cleaning out the trophy room?

Or maybe...just maybe she'll send us to our dorms?

Yeah...I doubt it.

McGonagall looked at all three of us over her spectacles.

"Young ladies, you will be doing lines for me, writing "I must not fight in the Great Hall." You will do so until I feel that the message has gone through."

Yes, lines!

"Yes, m'am," we all said. After handing us parchment and quills, Minera darling went back to her work. There was no talking, just the sound of our quills scratching against the parchment as we wrote.

Already I was bored and I had only wrote the sentence thrice times. Is that the correct way to say it? Thrice? or Three times? Hm....I should ask John once I'm done with detention. Damn it now, I'm starvinggggg. Ugh, just another hour of this shi-

CRASH!

The noise made all four of us jump in our seats.

"Now what is it?" McGonagall asked exasperatedly. Mr. Filch ran into the room, with his stupid cat following him. What was its name again?

"Professor, it's Peeves again. Seems he's disturbed all the armour and now they are running all over the castle."

Sighing, Professor McGonagall got up from her desk. "Alright Mr. Filch, I'll be there in a moment." He nodded then ran back with the cat still following him (WHAT IS ITS NAME? Shit that will be bothering me...)

"Ladies," McGonagall gave us stern looks. "You are too keep working until I get back. Absolutely no talking from anyone's mouth or I shall give you another detention. Understood?"

"Yes m'am," we also said in unison.

McGonagall nodded, gave us another look, then went after to calm down those darn armors.

As soon as she left, the three of us all threw dirty looks to one another.

Oooooh, if I coult just get a Beater's bat, what I would do to them....

"You know this is all your fault right," Abby snapped at Sophie. "You had to come along and be a slut and ruin what Sirius and I had."

"If I'm a slut, then you're clingy! Everyone saw that he was getting tired of you, it was only a matter of time! And you know what-at least I got some!"

That piece of information was obviously new to Abby. Her face all botched up, she shrieked and lunged at Sophie. In a matter of seconds both girls were on the floor, rolling around and pulling each others hair. I'm sure if John and his friends were around, they would have found this to be some sort of kinky.

I honestly did not want another detention and tried to pull them apart. Unfortunately, it was pretty damn hard when they keep clawing at you with their manicure nails.

"Stop!" I screamed. That obviously got their attention because they stopped rolling around the floor and stared at me like I was a three headed dog or something.

"Can't you see he was just playing both of you?"

"Excuse me?" Sophie, the bitcher one of the two, stood up and crossed her arms.

"You heard me, Sirius Black was playing both of you and you two are here fighting over him when you should be mad at him! It's bloody ridiculuous if you ask me."

Neither one said a word, just kept staring at me. Feeling kind of uncomfortable with their stares now, I sat back down at my desk and continued my lines. It was silent for a good while and I had half a mind to look up to see what they were up to when Sophie spoke again.

"What's your name?" Her voice wasn't as harsh and had no sarcasm or angry in it. More like curious, as if she really did want to know my name.

"Dylan."

"That's a boy's name." Abby pointed out. As if I didn't know.

"Geez, thanks. I'm so happy you revealed that to me," sarcasm dripping from my words. She obviously didn't recognize sarcasm because she had a pleased look on her face. Dumbass.

"So, why are you here?" Sophie continued.

"Honestly, I have no clue. But I'm here and I'd appreciate it if you let me finish my lines." Sophie and I stared straight into each others eyes. After a few second, Sophie nodded then returned to her seat, Abby following. It stayed like that till McGonagall came back. She nodded in approval at our silence and after a good half hour passed, she let us go. I don't know what made me but I walked away as fast as possible.

But somehow, high heels made the two bimbos walk faster and they caught up with me.

"Hey, um Dylan." Sophie spoke to me. Abby had followed too, but said nothing, simply watching.

"Yeah?" I asked kind of rudely. Okay okay, I was straight out rude.

"Listen," Sophie took a deep breath, "I know we started off on the wrong foot. Let's start over okay?"

Warily, I looked at the two of them. What kind of game were they at?

"Okay. Past erased. Can I go now?" I turned around and started to walk off but felt my arm being pulled.

"Wait," this time Abby spoke. "We need your help."

Huh?

Sophie nodded and took over. "We want to get back at Black. And we think maybe you'll have some good ideas to get back."

"No, no way. Sorry but I am not getting in the middle of this!" Are they crazy?!

"Dylan," Abby spoke softly and in a sad voice, her eyes glistening. "I got my feelings hurt because I let some guy trample all over my heart. I may not look like it, but deep down inside I'm hurt. I don't want any other girl feeling the way I feel, it's terrible, and the only way that can happen is if we teach Sirius Black a lesson." She looked at me, a single tear running down her face.

Damn it! I hate when people cry.

Bugger, bugger, bugger.

In my head, I was having a mental war. If I help, I'll be getting into some kind of big mess. But on the otherhand, I did want to see Sirius Black be taught a lesson. Sure, the girls he dated are bimbos, but it doesn't mean they deserve getting hurt and embarrassed in public.

"Ehhh," I contemplated a little bit more then sighed. I nodded and was suddenly attacked by the blonde.

"Thank you thank you thank you! You're amazing!" gushed Abby. Sophie simply nodded, although I could have sworn I saw a tiny smile beginning to form.

After agreeing we would meet somewhere in private on Thursday, I left the two girls. They began to whisper to one another but I really didn't want to know.

Making it back to the Hufflepuff dormitory, I ran up to my dormitory. My roommates didn't notice (or didn't care) about my arrival and continued to talk about frivolous things only they would be concerned with. Closing the curtains around my bed, I laid down, trying to slow my mind down after a stressful day. My eyelids began to feel heavy, and in vain I tried to stay awake. I lost and let my body slip into a deep deep sleep...
