Chapter 27
Sarah sat in Mr. Cobane's office nodding. She hadn't been listening to a word that either her brother or her godfather had been saying just nodding every once and a while so that they didn't get suspicious, a skill she had perfected during lessons with Alaniz. Of course she was listening for a few key words like grounded and owl so that if he asked her what he had just said she could tell him the general meaning of what he had been lecturing her about. Will had started talking again.
"pink bears… with tutus and Sarah you aren't listening" at that moment Sarah nodded.
"SARAH!"
"Huh? Oh...yeah, I really am sorry about the thing with Draco. It won't happen again"
"Sarah, have you heard a word either William or I have said?"
"Yes" Sarah said as Will said "No"
"I have too been listening!"
"Then what did I just say?" Will said
"Um..."
"See?" Will said
"No, I was listening!" Sarah said "You said that what I did was wrong"
"And?" Will said
"and...um...I have to apologize to him"
"And?" Remus said
"And...um...and...which part do you want me to talk about?"
"How long I said you were grounded for"
Damn Sarah thought My nodding technique needs some work, I don't remember him saying grounded....did I miss something about him taking Miranda?
"Um...two months?" Sarah guessed
"Wrong" Will said "See Remus, I told you she wasn't listening. She didn't hear anything, and just nodded occasionally to make us think she was listening. She did it in Professor Alaniz's class all the time."
"How do you know about that!"
"When you broke up with Tristan, he told me"
"I'll kill him" Sarah said "Ok, Remus, how long did you say I was grounded?"
Remus grinned "I hadn't said anything about being grounded yet. I was going to say only a month of grounding, but I think two months is much better...and those two months will be without Miranda. Go get her and her cage, and bring her back here"
"Damn. I can't believe I fell for that" Sarah said as she walked out of the classroom
"I can't believe you fell for that…again!"
"I haven't fallen for it since mom and dad died!"
"I still can't believe you fell for it!"
"Shut up"
Sarah, Susan, and Sarah's friend, Danielle were talking as they walked across the lawns of the grounds.
"It's all Draco's fault…if he hadn't been such a cry-baby…I mean, come on! That tornado was only about ten and a half feet tall, wind 170 miles an hour winds…and when he flew out of the tornado, he only broke his arm in three places"
"Oh, yes only ten and a half feet, only 170 mile an hour winds, and he only broke his arm in three places" Danielle said
"So you see my point!" Sarah said "When Tristan pissed me off at the Halloween ball, I hit him with 200 mile an hour winds!"
Danielle hit her head against her Potions book
"Danielle, it isn't worth ruining brain cells" Susan said
"Professor Cobane is being dramatic…I mean, what is with three weeks of detention? Isn't being grounded for two months bad enough…especially since I still have Quidditch practice?"
"Quidditch is a privilege!" Susan and Danielle yelled together
"Not when the entire team knows you helped them loose the game…Montague makes practices miserable for me"
"That's your fault" Susan said
"As I told the team, if I am going to have to play for them, I sure am not going to help them win"
"You know, Quidditch wouldn't be so bad if you actually tried…Montague might end the lessons with Draco if you got better" Danielle said
Sarah stuck out her tongue out at Danielle
"Sarah, she has a point"
"You know what, if you two aren't going to side with me on this, I am going to go do my homework before Will's planner beings to flambé me"
Sarah stormed off
