Hey Hey. So here's another chapter I hope you enjoy. If you like please review.

Jane sighed and looked up at the gargoyle guarding McGonagall's office. 'Jane Weasley-Granger, I have an appointment.' She wished she knew about the talking gargoyle earlier. Then she wouldn't have all these appointments with McGonagall.

'Ah yes, you do. What no yelling this time?'

'Yelling?'

Yes well the last time you were here you were arguing with your sister. You should have listened to her, she is much calmer in stressful situation than you are.' The gargoyle said placidly.

'What you heard that?'

'I hear many things.'

'Argh! If you knew what we were planning why didn't you stop us? Why didn't you tell us how to get in contact with McGonagall?' Jane asked y feeling her temper get going a little.

'You didn't ask.'

Jane bit her lip. 'We didn't know that we could ask you!'

'That is not my fault.' If the gargoyle could have shrugged it would have.

'What sort of logic is that?' Jane asked her voice getting louder.

'Mine.'

Jane huffed out. 'That just doesn't make any sense!'

'I'm a gargoyle I don't do sense, not the kind you would or even could understand.'

Jane's eyes narrowed, she was pretty sure that was an insult. 'Are you saying I'm stupid?'

'No I'm saying you are to immature to understand my logic.'

Jane pulled out her wand ready to blast the gargoyle to high heaven. And she was going to enjoy doing it too.

'I strongly suggest you put away that wand Ms. Weasley-Granger.' McGonagall eyed Jane and her guardian gargoyle. 'You're in enough trouble as it is.'

Jane dropped her wand and nearly jumped onto the gargoyle. How did she not hear McGonagall? 'Yes professor.' She managed after taking a deep breath.

'And as for you, I've told you before not to taunt the students!' McGonagall admonished the gargoyle that actually managed to look sheepish.

'Sorry.'

McGonagall eyed it a little longer. 'Quidditch Cup.' The gargoyle jumped out of the way letting them in. 'Come along, time waits for no man Ms. Weasley-Granger.' McGonagall didn't have to look over her shoulder to know that Jane was following.

McGonagall looked on amused as she watched as Jane took in the stack of books in front of her. 'Well what do you think?'

'Uhm think about what professor?' Jane asked still eyeing the books suspiciously.

McGonagall pursed her lips hard, she really wanted to laugh, that would just not do. 'About your detention.'

'My detention?' Jane looked up at McGonagall confused. She didn't even know what it was and McGonagall wanted to know what she thought?

'Yes, the books in front of you are some books I think you are in dire need of reading. I will of course set papers and tests on every single one of them. So if I were you I would start reading. I think the third one on the pile will do just fine to start with.'

Jane's mouth was nearly on the floor. The stack was ten books high and every single one was probably three hundred pages long.

McGonagall couldn't help but chuckle a little. So she got up and got the third book on the stack out and handed it to Jane. 'There you go. Now I have papers to grade so you can either make yourself comfortable where you are or on the couch in the corner.' McGonagall waited for a reply, which for some reason wasn't forth coming. 'Now Jane.'

Jane nodded and walked over to the couch then looked at the book. 222 Simple steps for witches and wizards to keep calm in any and all situations! Jane stared closed her eyes then stared again. 'You've got to be kidding me.' She finally mumbled.

McGonagall grinned to herself, this time she would make the lesson stick. 'Did you say something?'

Jane's head snapped up and she shook it vigorously. 'No professor!'

'Good, then start reading Ms. Weasley-Granger.' McGonagall grinned and went back to her papers.

Jane nodded and opened opened the book and started reading. She felt completely miserable.

Lorry peaked into Sam's room when she was sure only Sam was in there she walked in hurriedly and locked the door with a spell.

Sam looked up when she heard Lorry come in giving her a questioning look. 'What's up Lor?'

Lorry looked at her and grinned guiltily. 'I need your help Sammie.'

Sam looked at the oddly moving bundle Lorry held in her hands and shook her head. 'No way Lorry. Just no!'

Lorry frowned. 'You don't even know what I want to ask you.'

'You rescued something and want me to help you hide it.' Sam said dryly, it was always the same thing with Lorry, but Lorry usually asked Jane or Lizzy to help. Not her.

Lorry grinned crookedly and lifted one side of the sides of the blanket. 'Come on can you say now to these little faces?'

Sam got up to take a closer look and felt her heart melt a little. In the blanket were two tiny little kittens. They looked as if they weren't doing to well. 'That's not fair Lor! You know I love cats.'

'Look these are Kneazle kittens. I found them on one of the spires of the tower. Their mother is dead and so is the rest of the litter. Sam I need to go raid the kitchen to feed them or they will die.' Lorry looked at Sam pleadingly.

'That's not fair Lorry. Throwing dying kittens at me?' Sam tried to stay stern and not to give in, but then one of the kittens had to go and look at her with those sad little kitten eyes and her heart completely melted. 'Fine, but I'm only doing this until you get back!'

Lorry sighed relieved and carefully placed the bundle on the bed. 'Can you try and keep them warm?'

Sam waved Lorry away. 'Go before I change my mind!' Sam watched as Lorry ran of. She bent down and peeked into the blanket again. The kittens were rolled up against each other obviously freezing 'How in Merlins name did Lorry even get up to you guys?' Making a quick decision she lay down on the bed picked up the kittens and put them on her chest and covered them hallway with the blanket. 'You two are adorable, I think you are the first strays Lorry brought home I actually like.' She gently stroked their tiny heads and sighed happily.

Lorry softly entered Sam's room again with some warm milk and a clean cloth. 'I'm back.'

Sam looked up from the bed. 'Well it's about time. We were starting to wonder where you went.'

Lorry laughed at Sam and the kittens all three looked rather comfortable. 'Hey the kitchen isn't exactly next door. Are they shivering less?'

Sam nodded. I think one fell asleep the other one's rooting around, and I do not have what it's looking for.' Sam said blushing slightly.

'Oh, right' Lorry walked over and picked up the kitten that was awake. She dipped the tip of the cloth in the milk then held it to the kittens mouth. The kitten started drinking eagerly. 'That's right, nice and yummy milk.'

The more time had gone by the more time Sam had to think about how Lorry could possibly have gotten up on to the spires. She was drawing a blank and she didn't like not knowing. 'Lorry how did you get up to the spires?'

Lorry's looked very intently at her shoes as the kitten drank the milk she was offering it.

'Lorry if you don't tell me I'm going to tell on you!' Sam said in exactly the tone Hermione used to get them to talk.

'Fine, but I think I should probably better show you. Let me just finish with this little one.' Lorry said as the kitten stopped drinking. She turned it on its back and gently massaged it's belly. Just like its mother would do.

'Fine.' Sam lay back and waited.

When Lorry was done she put the kitten back on Sam's chest. 'You have to promise me that you won't tell anyone what I'm about to show you.'

'I can't do that. It's bound to come back and bite me in the arse.' Sam shook her head careful so she didn't dislodge the kittens.

'If you don't I won't show you.' Lorry crossed her arms.

Sam's mouth twitched in annoyance, her curious nature was going to be the death of her, she was sure of it. 'Fine I promise I won't tell anyone.'

Lorry grinned and nodded. 'Now just don't freak out.'

Sam nodded not sure what Lorry could possibly show her that would freak her out. But then maybe there were some things after all. Sam's mouth dropped open when Lorry suddenly transformed into a beautiful owl. 'Oh my. Lorry?'

Lorry hooted then turned back. 'So what do you think?'

'That's Illegal!'

Lorry groaned. 'I know, I plan on getting my license as soon as I'm of age Sam.'

'Mum will have a litter of kittens when she finds out, actually both mum and mama!'

Lorry shook her head. 'Is that really the only thing you can think of?'

'Yes!'

Lorry sat down and waited, Sam was ranting. She should have known that Sam would freak out.

McGonagall walked over to the couch and looked down at Jane. 'You're next class will start soon. Mark your place and I expect you back here after classes.'

Jane noted the page she was in and all but ran out of McGonagall office. This is going to be hell! The book she was reading was impossible to understand, how anyone could stay calm reading it was a mystery to her. But she could wonder about that later, now she had Potions. She hated Potions, but compared to that book? It was heaven.

McGonagall laughed, feeling rather proud of herself. 'Next time you might think before you leap.' She picked up the book and nearly dissolved in laughter. The book was a nightmare, but if Jane could keep calm while reading this she truly would be able to stay calm in any situation.
