"Detention tonight, Mr. Wright."
"But, but professor-"
"Detention tonight and tomorrow night, Mr. Wright. Do you have anything else to say?"
"No... No, Professor Umbridge."
"Your behaviour is exactly the sort that we here at Hogwarts seek to eradicate. Not only did you challenge Mr. Malfoy and provoke him into armed combat, you and your friend Mr. Neville attacked him with the intent of causing lasting HARM!" Her voice rose to a screech. "You should be lucky you haven't been EXPELLED YET!"
Sam, whatever his faults, really, really didn't want to be expelled.
"Okay."
"Give me your map."
He did so, and she tapped it with a flourish.
"You wish, from now on, be allowed to see the rooms required for your classes- and nothing else. I have also added my room to the map. I'm sure this will be the only time, no?" She smiled again, that terrible smile that made Sam's skin crawl.
"Yes, Professor Umbridge."
"Wonderful!"
Sam had always been a pacifist, but now he understood what murderous rage was.
He had never left anyone's office faster, even as Draco's smirking gaze trailed after him.
