"You hit knocked out Draco Malfoy?" Hermione said, her jaw dropping.
Marissa shrugged. She decided that the Slytherins were not her type and ate breakfast with the three Gryffindors.
All of a sudden Ron and Harry started laughing uncontrollably.
The two girls looked at them like they were mad.
Ron pointed, bursting out in hysterics. The girls looked, and immmediately fell off their chairs laughing at the sight.
On the other side of the great hall was Draco Malfoy. His pale complexion tainted with an enormous purplish-blue bruise on his right jaw, and another one on the left side of his forehead. The laughing stopped as the four saw the potions master approach the boy. Marissa looked at them, wondering what they were so worried about. Fortunately, Harry explained all.
"He wouldn't take points away from his own house, would he? Would he?" Ron asked.
Hermione shrugged.
Snape approached the Gryffindor table and headed straight for the four children. He pulled Marissa up from the floor and away from the Gryffindor table.
" This is an absolute outrage. Twenty points from Gryffindor for telling one of my students to hit her fellow house member." He stared, glaring at Harry. He steered Marissa back to the Slytherin table as she looked and shrugged at her three friends.
"I knew he'd find a way to blame it on us." Ron said as he started on his breakfast.
Hermione smiled as a though hit her.
"What?" Ron asked
"huh?" Hermione replied. "Ohnothing I just noticed that she hits lefty."
Ron rolled his eyes, but noticed that the bruise was on the right side of his face.
Harry just looked over to where his sister was seated, between another fifth year studen, who aparrently was the one that Draco had threatended, and and empty chair. Marissa turned her back on the once empty seat and began talking to that other boy (who of course, was thrilled to be recognized by the girl) as a certain blonde haired child sat down.
