Chapter 6

"Well Fi? Who executed this dangerous prank?" Dumbledore asked after Madame Risika had done her work. I thanked her quietly and she bustled out to see to another patient.

"I have to talk to the person first. To ask about what this person did. But sir? May I be the one to decide the punishment for the one who did this?"

"I think that would be fine. You are the victim but you will also give a fair punishment." He said nodding his head, "Now if you'll excuse me I have some stairs to put back in order."

"Headmaster? What if you can't fix them?" Sabe asked looking troubled.

"Well then I guess I'll have to put up some warning signs." He answered and walked out.

I stretched and sat up in the hard infirmary bed. Madame Risika returned to our room and a frown flashed over her face. She obviously was a little bothered that her room was still occupied by a perfectly fine student.

"Madame? Am I free to go?" I asked as I pushed off the blankets and tried to stand up. Papa rushed over to the bed, sat me down and pulled the covers back up.

"No, no of course you can't go. You just had a traumatizing fall. You have to stay in bed for at least the rest of the day. You are not going anywhere."

Daddy came over and pulled him away from the bed, letting me pull the blankets off my head.

"Harry, dearest. I think she'll be fine. She went through worse playing Quiddich. I think she should be allowed to leave. If Madame Risika says she's fine and can leave she can go. Soon she'll be in your class then she'll be in mine."

"But-"

"No buts." Daddy said firmly. Papa still looked like he wanted to protest but didn't. Daddy was using 'the voice', the one that kept me out of the forbidden forest and stopped me from pulling Mrs. Norris' tail. Madame Risika chose this moment to get rid of us.

"You're fine, dear. You can return to class at any time. Preferably soon so I can rid my infirmary of your fan club." She said good-humorously and bounced out of the room.

DADA and Potions were the last classes of the day. They flew past in seconds. After I put my books back in Gryffindor I went to go find the person responsible for my fall. I found him near the Ravenclaw house entrance about to pull a rug from under 3 unsuspecting 3rd years.

"Peeves!"

He paused while the 3rd years turned and saw him. They shot him dirty looks and hurried down the hall after shouting their thanks to me. He floated over and looked at me with a hurt expression on his transparent face.

"Awe, Fi a bee made me loose my prey."

"I don't care Peeves. You are in serious trouble. That prank you pulled earlier was not funny. It was dangerous and possibly the most foolish think you've ever done!" I said crossly.

"Wha-oh. Oh, Peeves is so terribly sorry. Ws my precious ikkle Fi hurt by my stupidness? I will never again pull a prank as long as students roam these halls."

"Sorry won't cut it Peeves. Dumbledore has given me permission to punish you. I have to make you see that some pranks are too much."

"But...We friends."

"I'm sorry Peeves. I have to do this and nothing you say will make me change my mind. I can not forgive and forget with this one." The ashamed look on his face hurt enough to make tears well up in my eyes but I had to show him what he had done crossed the line.

"Yes, miss." He said softly. I couldn't take it any more. I turned and quickly walked down the hall. As I turned the corner I paused and looked over my shoulder to see Peeves still hanging in the middle of the hall. I kept walking and ran into someone.

"Sabe, what are you doing here?"

If you like my writing, I have a new pen name with two of my friends. We're writing some things together so check them out. Please? The name is evilhairspryhiprincesses. =)

Ok so we made it up on the bus to school, early in the morning. We were very tired.
