Sector 4: Crime and Punishment(and Report)
The four friends walked back to the castle, laughing quietly at
Sirius' antics and filling Remus in on their encounter.
"So... We DIDN'T get any extra information?" Remus looked
disappointed. "Oh @#%*"
"Remus!!" Sirius looked positively scandalized. "Where did you
here that?"
"You and Lily.. MOTHER!" Remus grinned jokingly as Sirius began
circling him telling him off in a new voice, "What? You went into that
horrible forest?? Oh REMUS!! Aren't you ashamed-" and on like that for
several minutes with everyone buckling with laughter.
Sirius was suddenly silent and froze. Remus stopped next and
when he saw what Sirius was looking at, also froze. James and Lily,
who took a little longer, but were soon silent. There, in front of them
was a positively, shaking-with-anger, Professor Jocrian. They all gulped
as she stared down at them. "Well?" She asked icily,"Whom would care to
explain this? Or will more desperate measures- like TRUTH SERUM- be needed?"
"No Professor," Lily swallowed hard, "I'll explain. You see, Sirius
and Remie here-" Remus shot her a glare "-have to do a report-speech on
acromantulas for transfiguration and were just getting some extra information
and first hand experience."
The professor glared hard at her. "Do you think," he asked harshly,
"That there might be a REASON that this is called the FORBIDDEN Forest? You could
have been killed!"
She gulped again, "Yessir." He turned to look at the others, "What
about you three? What have you to say for your selves?"
"We'll apoligize and never do it again like good little students?"
Sirius offered weakly, withering under the Jocrian's gaze,"Never mind."
Remus looked extremely nervous, " Will we be-expelled?" "No," the
professor said, "but you will have a letter home, three detentions each, fifty points
from your house and an audience with Dumbledore."
All of them looked quite blown away, but relieved that that was all
that happened. As they were marched back to the castle, a sense of foreboding hung
in the air, like a stench. Inside the castle, they were given a long lecture
by an extremely tired-looking Professor McGonagall and dragged up to their seperate
dormatories. They had one detention cleaning the school with no magic in various
dirty areas, another cleaning and tending and repainting the Quidditch field,
with no magic, and the last, listening to other students who wanted to practice
their speeches before giving them to Professor McGonagall in class.
James, who was the last one to fall asleep, heard Sirius and Remus muttering
in their sleep-Sirius how to get out of detention and Remus simply kept repeating
the phrase "Why me? Why me?" and making banging-his-head-against-the-wall motions.
James smiled and feel asleep.
