Harry recognized the voice almost straight away. He didn't want to turn around, because he knew that if he did, there would be trouble, and it was too early into the term to start an argument or a fight. Harry heard a few footsteps and felt three presences come close up behind him. Ron frowned angrily at the disturbance and Hermione stared in suspicion.
"Just going to ignore me aren't you Potter?" Malfoy sneered. It took Harry great restraint to turn around without punching Malfoy square in the face.
"Someone like you, Malfoy, doesn't deserve the attention," Harry said calmly. Malfoy had grown a few inches, he needed it, Harry thought, and Crabbe and Goyle looked like their dumb old selves. They stood on both sides of Malfoy and they flexed their huge arms at Harry, as though to warn him. Harry didn't care; there was no way they could do anything with all the teachers around. Malfoy looked over at Mereline as though he had just noticed her. His grin broadened.
"Well, isn't this a surprise?" Malfoy said with a smirk, "Potter here has made a new friend."
Hermione must have felt trouble was coming because she stood up and quickly grabbed hold of Malfoy's arm.
"You better get back to your table now Malfoy," Hermione said firmly, "I'm warning you now…"
"Get your filthy Mudblood hands off me," Malfoy snapped pushing away Hermione's hand, "Who are you to tell me what to do?"
Ron stood up and banged his fists on the table. His face was almost as red as his hair.
"For you're information, Hermione is a prefect," Ron spat angrily. Many Gryffindor's and Slytherin's were turning around to see what the commotion was.
"A prefect?" Malfoy said in disbelief, "Who would make you a prefect?"
Harry had enough. He knew that if he heard anymore, he would snap.
"Get lost Malfoy," Harry said firmly also standing up to join Hermione and Ron.
"Harry Potter, here to save the day once again," Malfoy smiled nastily. The Slytherin's laughed. Their laughter seemed to assure Malfoy and he continued on.
"Isn't this a perfect little group? Here we have Wonder Boy, a Weasley, a Mudblood, and to complete the set, Tristone Trash."
The Slytherin's laughed even harder.
Out of the corner of his eye, Harry saw Mereline tense up. She gritted her teeth as though to restrain her anger.
"What did you call me?" Mereline said angrily in her Irish accent.
Malfoy ignored what she said but turned to face her. "You're just like Potter, all famous and everything," Malfoy sneered at her, "But what will happen to that fame when everyone finds out about your mother…"
Harry had never seen so much anger on one person's face. Mereline looked as though she was about to burst. She stood up and came so close to Malfoy that their noses were almost touching. Mereline looked at him square in the eye and whispered something ever so softly into his sneering face.
"Don't talk… about my…mother."
Mereline's eyes flashed red. A mystic glow of red surrounded her form. Malfoy floated up in mid air as though he was supported by two ropes. His eyes bugged out in shock and he flailed his arms and legs around hopelessly. Everyone gasped in horror and surprise as Crabbe and Goyle tried to pull him down. The next thing Malfoy knew, he was flown way across the room and slammed heavily into a wall. Every house turned around at the sound of impact. Gryffindor roared with laughter.
Mereline gasped as she realized what she had just done. Her eyes resumed their normal colour and she looked like herself once again. Ron's eyes were practically bulging out. Hermione's mouth was half open. Mereline, who had not noticed everyone's amazement and laughter, sat back down in her chair. Her unsteady breathing and pale face suggested that she was in complete shock as well.
"What happened here?" a stern voice said. Harry looked up to see Professor McGonagall staring down at the Gryffindor table. She didn't look very happy. Everyone looked away. Professor McGonagall's mouth twitched in anger. Finally, she turned to Hermione who was still recovering.
"Hermione Granger, might you want to tell me what happened here since every single of you seem to be suffering some sort of lock jaw," she demanded firmly to a rather distressed looking Hermione.
Harry knew that if Hermione said something she'll be literally betraying Mereline but if she didn't, she would probably lose her Prefect badge. Hermione opened her mouth…
"It was a disagreement," Harry butted in before Hermione could say anything, "Just a small disagreement…"
"Someone being slammed into a wall doesn't seem like a disagreement to me, Potter," a harsh voice said. Snape swept up to the Gryffindor table pulling along a bewildered looking Malfoy. His head was bleeding. He took big loopy steps and seemed as though he would fall to the ground any second. Malfoy had obviously taken a bad hit and despite the serious injuries, it didn't stop Malfoy smirking horridly at Harry.
"Well, what did you do Mr Malfoy here?" McGonagall said gravely, turning to Harry. Snape was grinned evilly at this.
"I-I d-didn't do anything…" Harry spluttered.
"A likely story!" Snape roared, "It's obvious Potter did this, he's been on Malfoy's case for years!"
If the situation wasn't so serious, Harry would have laughed. Professor McGonagall didn't seem to believe Snape's obvious exaggerations but she had suspicion clearly marked on her face. Surely she, Harry thought, wouldn't be on Snape's side?
"I must say I am very disappointed in you Harry," Professor McGonagall said quietly. Snape smirked; he knew that he had won. Harry felt a great burst of hatred towards Snape. It was only the start of term, and he had already got in trouble, if only he had kept his mouth shut…
"It… it was m-me…" a small voice said quietly standing up to face the two professors, "I did it…"
Harry couldn't believe it; Mereline was actually stepping in to save him from landing out of school. He knew that he didn't do it, of course, but it took great courage to admit to what you did.
Snape narrowed his eyes angrily, he looked especially disappointed of having missed another chance to get Harry expelled from the school.
A grave Professor McGonagall turned to Mereline…
"I would have expected more suitable behavior from a new student… you must learn to keep those powers of yours under control!" she said shaking her head, "I'm afraid this can't go on without a detention, but if this happens again you must understand there would be more heftier consequences."
Mereline nodded awkwardly.
"See me tomorrow Mereline," Professor McGonagall said sternly. Snape gave everyone a forced twisted smile and left the Gryffindor table. Professor McGonagall took Malfoy's arm and escorted him to the Hospital Wing.
Everyone began talking again as soon as the professors were out of hearing range.
"Thanks Mereline," Harry said smiling, "Don't worry detention isn't that bad…"
"You are extremely lucky, you know that don't you?" Hermione gasped, "If it was Ron or Harry who did that, they would have been expelled to say the very least…that's good of you to stand in for something you did though-"
Mereline went red, "Well, I had to do that; Harry could have gotten into big trouble for something I did…"
"Say, that was jolly good of you to do that!" George said, butting in. He and Fred strolled over to Harry and Mereline, "I know I would have never done that…"
"I would have let the person take the blame!" Fred finished. They laughed evilly together.
"Oh, you two are horrible!" Hermione cried. The twins laughed harder.
"But I feel sorry for him, I didn't mean to it, I'm pretty sure he didn't mean it either…" Mereline said worriedly.
"No, no," George said, shocked, "You're doing us a favor!"
"That must have taken a lot of guts to swing Malfoy in the wall like that!" Ron awed, speaking to Mereline for the first time, "I've been wanting to do that for ages!!"
"Too true!!" chorused Fred and George.
"Thanks for doing it for us Mereline," Harry grinned, "We all hate him anyway."
"Oh…" Mereline mumbled, but she didn't look assured.
"Don't worry Mereline, he'll be fine!" Fred comforted. He nudged George. Harry didn't like the look of this.
"Here," George said, placing a large muffin in Mereline's hands, "Eat this, it will cheer you up!"
Mereline forced a small smile and was about to eat it when she felt the muffin move in her hands. Horrified, she looked down at it.
"Hello…" the muffin said to her.
Mereline opened her mouth and screamed.
