Detention Sucks Ass!
The flying monkeys in my sleep definitely didn't help matters much. When I went down to breakfast I could see Snape leaning over a point on the Hufflepuff table and I know she's had it too. When he walked away Eleri was looking really grumpy and the rest of the Hufflepuffs were glowering at Snape, Sprout was even giving Snape evils. Then she looked at me, like it was my fault, yeah okay it was my fault - I admit it. My bad but I didn't mean for everyone to go out there… I know I watched… Right I accept full blame, it was my fault and thus my problem.
I sat down at the Slytherin table next to the girl that spoke with me the night before and I looked about the table, there was a girl to my left who was looking at Malfoy like he'd hung the moon and another girl who as I remember at the sorting was sorted in private because Professor McGonagall couldn't pronounce her name, she was opposite me anyway, I looked at her strangely and asked;
"Er… How do you say your name? I can't get my tongue around it."
"Quella M. Bajxinz," she said with ease, I still didn't catch it.
"The M. stands for what?" I said sarcastically. "Messed-up?" She glared at me, oops. I'm not good at this making friends thing.
"Murrypal." She said swiftly hoiking her nose in the air like I was scum.
"Erm… Yeah, but if you think about it, what sort of name is that?" I received another set of evils, it was spreading round the table. I got up and walked over to the Hufflepuff table. "Eleri, could I talk with you please?" I said the rest of the Hufflepuffs glared at me.
"Is this the one?" The boy I remember Eleri telling me was called Cedric asked her. She nodded, the other Hufflepuffs continued to mutter.
"Eleri what have you been telling them?" I said as she frowned at me and refused to say anything.
"Go away, she doesn't want to consort with people like you!" Cedric said and they all turned away from me. I was alone, oh no! I didn't think I had done anything that bad, I mean she didn't have to go and talk to Professor Dumbledore, I'd got her out of that one. I slunk back to my table and sat down.
"Hey Minkey? Wanna talk? I don't seem to have to many friends round here at the minute." She looked at me as if to tell me it was my own fault. "Okay I know!" I said calmly. I looked at Quella and swallowed. "I'm sorry." Still no response… Oh for god's sake, I said sorry what more did she want?! Blood?! Umm… best not ask her. Oh why won't Eleri talk to me? Was it because I was in Slytherin and… er got her in trouble? She got herself into it. She didn't have to stay with me, oh ARSE!
I finished what I was eating and stormed out of the Great Hall not saying anything to anyone. If Eleri wanted to ignore me that was her beef, I wasn't going to talk to her. No she could talk to me first, or she could just glare at me in detention this evening with Professor Snape in the dungeons.
~_~_~_~_~_~
It was a fine day when I woke up in my Hufflepuff common room, the sun was shining through the window and I was really getting to like yellow, but I couldn't help but think that my life wasn't going anywhere… I dunno why it just did.
Still, breakfast had been a little difficult with Nova wanting to apologise or whatever she wanted, but I had the rest of my house there! How was I supposed to just be friends with her when Cedric was there looking at me? I don't wanna seem mean but he is a really nice guy!
Anyhoo, I don't have much to do today, I think I have a Charms lesson with the Gryffindors and that'll be interesting because there's that really hot kid who hangs around with that Harry Potter and this'll be my opportunity to get to know him hehe!
Lalalala…..off to Charms lesson we go weeeeeee… am I forgetting anything? Oh no!!! I have a detention later on tonight with Snape! What a drag! I hate that guy, damn you Nova for getting me into this…eww, I bet he picks his nose… I haven't had a Potions lesson yet but he is so disgustingly evil…
I shivered.
And I bet Nova fancies the ass off him! That's the kinda guy I reckon she wants to get together with, me, I go for the sweet red head kind hehe…
~_~_~_~_~
My first lesson was kinda crap, Herbology was BOR-ING!!
Oh no! Flying, I have broomstick practice. I can't fly, well I don't think so. I don't want to fly, I have had a hard enough time getting over my belly flop to go and crash into trees and crap.
I looked around the Hogwarts lawns and then at where all the other Slytherins and Gryffindors were going, they all seemed ecstatic. I didn't wanna! I looked at Malfoy who was still scared of me after I gave him the fright of his life, won't call me goofy in a while now will you, HA! That weird Harry Potter kid was looking at me strangely as well, I expect he had heard about my extra curricular flying lesson sans broom. Well I prefer to travel light-weight, okay I'll shut up about that.
Madam Hooch gave her traditional 'welcome to your first flying lesson' speech that I fell asleep in, and then told us how to do the broom thing.
I held my hand out over the broom, as I had been instructed but I just didn't want to go off flying.
"Up," I muttered, the broom shot into my hand so sharply it hurt. "OUCH!" I snapped dropping it again.
"Oh grow up Quillix, you coward!" Malfoy sneered.
"Hmm, where have I heard this before? Oh yes just before I walked backwards over the Astrology tower, wanna see that again? I'm in the mood for free falling!" He turned away, not that much had happened, in that short space of time, the majority of the class had taken off and this weird fat Neville kid had crashed into the castle and hurt himself. Madam Hooch scurried off with him and the rest of the class were muttering before Malfoy opened his big gob.
It was then I got the funniest picture, Malfoy bent over and picked something up but to be honest I thought it was night time again, big fat arse cheeks, I burst into laughter, everyone looked at me.
"What?" I said calmly, "ahem," I calmed myself.
"Look! It's that stupid thing Longbottom's Gran sent him."
"Give that here Malfoy," who said that? Oh it was that Harry Potter kid, he's sticking up for the fat kid, GO HARRY!
"I think I'll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to collect – how about – up a tree?" What an arse hole! I hate him even more now.
"Give it here!" Harry yelled, well I wouldn't argue with that, but Malfoy had already jumped on his broom and was hovering up by the oak trees – show off! Ahh… I'm bored of this, the silly girl who was always acting like she knew everything was trying to stop Harry from getting it back but I wanted to see a fight… Harry leapt on the broom and pushed off quickly like a natural. Bugger, I wish I could do that.
The weird red head that Eleri liked was looking at Potter like he had hung the moon, I didn't want to tell Eleri that I could envision him growing into a rampant homosexual. Well maybe not that bad but all the girls but me were gasping and screaming in admiration for Harry, ditz's.
Harry then did a dive, I could hear what had been said but Malfoy lobbed the thingie, and Harry dived for it, catching it a little off the ground before McGonagall the stone faced gargoyle came out and ruined the fun. Scrooge! Harry could fly though I had to grant him that, all she was worried about was him breaking his neck, yeah like that was important.
Well we all got dismissed early and then when we got back into school I wanted to die because as soon as I finished eating I had detention, ugh… no I think that was enough to put anyone off their food. How about I pull a fast one and act ill or something, QUICK TO THE LIBRARY! Time to find a descent illness to give myself.
I got out of the hall running along hell for leather, but blindly, someone grabbed me by the back of the neck, OOOOWWWWWWEEEEEEE!!!
"Where are you going Quillix!" It was Snape, DAMN!
"To the library Sir," I said trying to sound like his cold hands weren't bugging me, but they were so damn cold. "Could you let me go please, you're cold."
"You have detention, you should be there already, get down to the dungeons."
"But… but… but…"
"Shut up and go to detention Miss Quillix, I won't tell you again."
"But I was going to look something up for my next potions lesson, it's very important, I really have to get to the library." I stammered, he gripped the back of my robes and spun me round really fast then practically threw me in the direction of the dungeons. I looked over my shoulder at him, he stood tall, proud and folded his arms waiting for me to start walking. WAAA! My plan failed, I reckon he reads minds… bastard, utter bastard.
~_~_~_~_~_~
When I got into the dungeon Eleri was already there waiting, I got into the room to face her annoyed glare. I didn't even look at her, who needs her. I turned around to see Snape looming in the doorway, goddamn it! Why won't you f*k off! I stood in the doorway a little longer, Snape grabbed my shoulder and pushed me into the room roughly.
"Sit down," he barked, I went and sat next to Eleri… she just turned and stared at me, bitch!
"Alright," I muttered, Eleri turned her shoulder on me.
"And SHUT UP!" He yelled.
"Okay," I squeaked.
"Don't you ever keep that big mouth of yours shut Quillix?!"
"Well…"
"I didn't want an answer! It was a rhetorical question!"
"But it was a question I could answer," I stuttered.
"QUIET!"
"Eep!"
"You two will be spending the rest of the evening cleaning this classroom until you learn that what you did yesterday was inconsiderate and idiotic."
"Yeah! I know that… can we go now?" I said, he turned a twitching eye on me, his patience was wearing thin with me and Eleri was doing as she was told. What did I look like? Some kind of maid? I did enough cleaning at home to have to come to school and clean as well… no chance!
"I will be back in an hour… I want this room spotless when I get back!" He yelled leaving a bucket with some sponges and cleaning stuff on a desk and left the room locking us in. Hey we were witches, what's to stop us leaving, I tried the unlocking charm I'd heard that Hermione Granger Gryffindor thing tell Ron and Harry, Snape had thought of that already apparently, that or I wasn't doing it right. We were stuck. ARSE!
~_~_~_~_~_~
Work sucks.
I'm a Hufflepuff and I suppose I am expected to do what I am told because I am loyal and polite but screw that! I'm just lazy, always have been always will no one's gonna tell me what to do! Though… I don't want to get in trouble again, especially not with Professor Snape because that guy is just pissed 24-7.
Nova doesn't seem to care as usual - she's just spending this detention lying on a bench trying to get some sleep. Now who's the lazy one?! All that big fat git gave us was a bucket of soap and two mouldy sponges, how the hell does he expect us to do any decent work with this crap? Aww… I guess one of us is gonna have to start, we have an hour to get this room spotless, though I'm not sure that'll be possible since he works in here everyday and the guy absolutely reeks of piss!
"Eleri… what are you doing?"
"Detention…" Nova sat up and watched me scrub the top of a bench weakly. I just couldn't be arsed.
"Well you're not doing a very good job… Put your back into it Hufflepuff! Or if you're not going to bother just sit back and relax!" I glared at her.
"He'll be expecting something done… We're in enough trouble thanks to you."
"Eh relax bitch… I'm gettin' meself some shuteye."
"Nova!"
"What?!" She replied completely innocently.
"Grab a sponge and start scrubbing!"
"I don't work for no one! Do I look like a house wife to you?!"
GRRRR……
I picked up a sponge and dunked it into the bucket so that it was very heavy with water and soap bubbles, Nova muttered something about how she'd one day kick Malfoy's ass and lay back against the wall shutting her eyes.
I threw the sponge, direct into her face.
"ELERI!!!"
"Don't treat me like an idiot! It's all your fault we have this detention and I'm not going to let you sit back and go to sleep when we have to scrub his stinky smelly classroom! And I ain't doin' it all myself!!!" My soggy friend narrowed her eyes.
"Meh… Scrubbin's for chumps. I'm no chump. Not for him."
"Well fine!" I threw down my sponge into the bucket and sat on a stool. Something hit my face - it was the wet sponge.
"Quit yer whinin' wench and git back to yer scrubbin'!"
"That's it!!" I lunged at her and we got into a vicious fight, well, not really too vicious. I pulled her hair. An, and she pulled mine, it was agreed early on through our feeble actions that we weren't really being serious or cared at all how pathetic we were being. Hehe…
Then just as we were squeaking and laughing at each she kicked and knocked my legs out from under me, just as Snape walked back into the room and I cursed at Nova at the top of my voice.
"NOVA-YOU-BACK-STABBING-PIECE-OF-SHIT!"
"What is the meaning of this behaviour?! I told you to clean this room and I find you cat fighting?!" I was looking stupid on the dirty floor and I merely hung my head in shame. Snape turned his deathly black eyes on Nova and she seemed rather shocked, she squeaked and the wands she held sparked. Immediately the room was transformed bright white like a hospital. Snape looked repulsed, he cringed and stepped back outside the door.
"Oopsie? Hey look! The room's clean! We can go!" I stood up and rubbed my head.
"Hey!" I looked accusingly at her, she looked down at her hand.
"Oo dear, sorry 'bout that." She handed back a scrap of my hair. Ouch, it really hurt.
"You're not leaving this early Quillix! You stay here with your little friend and return this room back to how it was!"
"But it's all clean, spotless!"
"But It's NOT the DUNGEON!"
"Picky." Snape strode in and grabbed Nova by the neck. She squeaked with surprise, but hey, I was pretty surprised by the roughness of the man myself! I had plenty of opportunity to run but I couldn't, damn the loyalties of the Hufflepuff!
"You're trying my patience little girl!"
"Hey!" He turned on me. I felt vulnerable under his stare and wished I were wearing a little more… like perhaps three more pairs of robes… eep!
"You are both coming with me to the Headmaster and hopefully you'll be out of Hogwarts before tomorrow morning!"
"You're going to expel us??!!"
"Oh shit…" Nova mumbled. "Isn't there something you could do to me that would keep both of us in the school and still able to learn?"
"Unless they make it legal for us to use class A tranquillisers on you I doubt it,"
"So we're doomed?" She said in a depressed tone.
"I'm afraid so," he said in a very Dumbledore like way but with more malice and pleasure in his tone, like he had just received the best gift a man could get.
"Ohhh! Nooooooo!" Nova wailed, talk about crumbling, I think she broke apart.
~_~_~_~_~_~
NOOOO! Not old man Dumbledore, I don't think I can take anymore! Perhaps I should go for the drugs? That way we'd be able to stay here and I might actually learn something instead of being an obstructing annoyance to everyone… the thing is the drugged up look just isn't me. It would be like being confronted by Snape who would be acting Lord high and mighty. You will do as I say or perish… nah.
But where was I?
NOOOO! I don't want to see Dumbledore. I'll get kicked out. I wanna be a Witch! Not a… oh what do they call the magical non-magical thingies… oh hell I forget.
Snape wrenched hold of the back of my robes before I had time to scarper and before I knew it out go the lights. I could just make out a brief squealing behind me but I couldn't see anything… he must have used the sleeper on me or something because when I woke up I didn't feel right… in fact. I felt law abiding, like I don't know, and I felt dirty. Where the hell did Eleri go, and why was Professor Snape smiling sadistically down at me.
"I trust you feel better Miss Quillix," he said getting up and walking away. I was still in the dungeons. Where was Eleri? Where was she? I mean I couldn't see her. I knew she had been down here. But lights out and, hey even I don't know what happened. Any takers?
"I think someone tried to rip my brain out then washed it through with formaldehyde…" I muttered looking up from the cold stone floor. There was a bubbling cauldron and Snape just looked at me as if he were Satan himself. Eleri?
"That's normal. But then I bet you don't feel like causing trouble anymore."
"What's that?"
"Trouble," he said smirking.
"Never heard of it. Can I go now, I have a blinding head ache and I think I have Potions homework to do… lots of it." It was weird, part of my brain was screaming with protest but the guiding part just…took over. I wanted to do work, lots and lots and lots…and lots…
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
