Chapter 2 - The Long Talk With McGonagall
~*~*~
Ginny went over to Professor McGonagall's desk, dropping her book bag beside a student's desk nearby. Lisa was already there, obviously cured of her laughter (Professor McGonagall cured her), and she was scowling at Ginny.
"Now I suppose both of you know why you are here?" Professor McGonagall looked sternly at the two girls. Ginny nodded and gulped. Lisa muttered a "yes". Professor McGonagall then told the two girls to tell her why they had "misbehaved". Ginny mumbled something about a note, which Professor McGonagall didn't hear clearly.
"Excuse me, Miss Weasley, but I believe you said something about a note?" Professor McGonagall asked as she held her palm up to receive the note, which Ginny was reluctantly handing over. Lisa stared daggers at Ginny, who looked down in fear. Professor McGonagall scanned through the note and took fifteen points in total off Gryffindor (ten points were taken off thanks to Lisa and her note; five taken off thanks to Ginny "hexing" Lisa), and sent them to Divination with a note explaining why the two were late.
"And, one more thing," Professor McGonagall said as the two girls turned to get their book bags. The girls looked up.
"Don't expect to be going to the dance, because you won't," Professor McGonagall said.
"But, but... Professor, can we- can we, um, make a compromise?" Ginny asked hastily. Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows at Ginny, but beckoned her to go on.
"Why don't you give us a punishment? You didn't give one to us!" Ginny said.
"There shall be a compromise," Professor McGonagall said, and drawing in air, she continued, "You may go to the dance... As long as someone in fifth year or above invites you as his partner. Are you listening, Miss Logan?"
Lisa nodded and left the room promptly with the book bag slung over her shoulder. Ginny grabbed her book bag and grinned at Professor McGonagall, who smiled in return. Ginny muttered something about being very, very late and dashed out of the classroom to catch up with Lisa.
