Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter
A/N: This is a really short chapter sry about that, the next one should be both longer and better :)
Todd made it to the Transfiguration corridor with minutes to spare and saw Lucy standing outside of Vix's office leaning against the wall with her arms crossed. He couldn't help but smile when he saw. "Hey Luce" she rolled her eyes "Hey Collins"
"So Vix isn't here yet?"
"Obviously"
"Look Lawson I'm sorry ok"
"No it's not ok, I shouldn't be here just because you were talking to me" before he could retort a tall red headed woman with hazel eyes and a freckled face appeared, she wore casual black robes and a simple witch's hat. She must have been in her mid thirties but she still walked with the energy of a teenager. "You two are here for detention right?" she smiled kindly at the two children. "Yes Professor"
"I'm Danielle Henderson, I teach Care for magical Creatures and you two are with me tonight" the two first years shred a worried glance but followed Professor Henderson as she strode off at a brisk pace. They followed her out of the castle and onto the beach all the while no one spoke.
She led them around to the back side of the castle and they found themselves in a cove that had been hidden from them when they arrived on the boat. In the darkness they could barely see anything; Henderson raised her wand and muttered Lumos. A beam of light fell on the water and Lucy almost jumped, there were horses in the water. Well actually they were creatures that looked very much like white horses except for where their mane should be a long bluish fin protruded from their spine, one of the creatures dove under water exposing its lower half which revealed that instead of back legs it had a fish's tail. "They're Hippocampi and you see that one? It's injured" said Henderson as she gestured to one of the animals which had a large red bite mark on it's neck. "All I need is for you guys too call it over here, they trust children" Lucy was first to speak "Come on little guy"
"Yeah we're not gonna hurt you" Todd added. After fifteen minutes of calling and motioning the creature swam close to shore and allowed Professor Henderson to heal it with a complicated spell. The hippocampus swam happily back to its companions and preformed a flip.
Professor Henderson instructed Todd and Lucy to go back to their common room and that their detention was over. She waved happily at the two as the departed. They walked for about five minutes in silence "See it wasn't that bad" said Todd smiling.
"Ok fine Collins detention wasn't as bad as I thought it would be"
"Maybe you should listen to me more, like about your hair"
"Yea I'll keep that in mind Collins" there was a touch of anger in her voice
"So you're a pretty good seeker are you gonna try out for the junior team?"
"I don't know maybe"
"I think you should"
"And why is that?"
"Cuz I'm gonna be on the team too so we can hang out"
"What makes you think I'd want to hang out with you?"
"Um…a...um…" They arrived at their common room "Night Collins" Todd watched as she walked up to the girl's dorms and could keep a goofy grin from spreading across his face.
