As Becky separated from Kimi in the entrance, Becky having put off her
homework for quite some time, Kimi was approached by a fellow Slytherin.
"Oh, Hey Draco! You scared me. I didn't think anyone was there. What's up?"
"It's about this Quiddle girl." said Draco Malfoy, circling Kimi like a shark.
"What about her?"
"Well, it appears to me that you are fraternizing with the enemy. The Quidditch cup HAS come down to Slytherin and Ravenclaw and I would hate for someone to go soft on the other team in the middle of the house cup tournament,"
"What are you talking about? I'm the best beater Slytherin has seen in years!"
"Yes, but she is the best beater Ravenclaw has ever seen. We can't afford to loose to Ravenclaw,"
"So what are you saying?" said Kimi in a steer voice. Draco stopped circling, "You want me to stop hanging out with her because she is not in our house?
"You catch on quick, Kimi," she gave a smirk.
"And if I refuse to do that?"
"We will take care of it ourselves." Draco walked away into the shadows leaving Kimi alone in the dim Great Hall.
"Kimi!" Becky shouted as she ran into the Great Hall for breakfast the next day. It was a normal routine of theirs to have a conversation across the room at breakfast and lunch, but today, Kimi never answered.
"Kimi? You there?" shouted Becky again. She was becoming very confused at the lack of response from Kimi and stood up to try and find her. Kimi shrunk down in her seat. She felt ashamed for ignoring her but had no idea what Draco would do if she didn't. The Slytherins always got their way.
It wasn't until Becky's potions hour with the Slytherins that she was truly worried. For the first time in Hogwarts history, Becky and Kimi were not partners. Becky ended up with Cho Chang, who never talked or had fun with Becky the whole hour, just sat and did the work.
Since there was no practice that day, Becky went straight to the common room to think about this when she got a letter from her Fwooper (who was trained to deliver messages like an owl) signed from Kimi.
Dear Becky, I'm sorry for not talking to you today. Meet me by the trophy room at midnight to find out what's up. -Kimi So Becky waited until midnight and put on her emerald green cloak and headed out. She had no trouble getting there and when Kimi was late she was worried she had been caught by Filch. Suddenly Kimi came running up.
"I'm here, but I have to hurry! The reason I've been ignoring you is." but before she could finish, two Slytherin girls and Malfoy jumped out from the shadows and poured a green potion on Becky's feet. Becky recognized it immediately. Her feet were super-glued to the floor by the sticky goo.
"Thanks for luring her out with the letter Kimi. Couldn't have done it without you!" said Malfoy with a smirk. The girls giggled.
"But I. I didn't!"
"Kimi! Help me!" squeaked Becky, struggling to get her feet out of the goo. Shadows danced on the walls and Filch's voice echoed through the halls. Draco and the girls took off running. Kimi hesitated and followed them. She couldn't afford to be caught and without her wand there was nothing she could do. Becky squatted down to the floor and waited to be found.
"Did you hear! Becky was caught out of the dorms last night! I heard she was expelled!"
"No! I heard they snapped her wand in half!"
"Well I heard that she was given detention for the rest of her life!"
Rumors bounced around the tables at breakfast like a paddle ball and like most rumors, none were true. Yes, Becky was caught, but she was not expelled. She got 50 points from Ravenclaw and detention for a month. It was the second time she was caught out.
She didn't show up for breakfast that morning. Draco took great pride in telling everyone she was probably still stuck to the floor in the trophy room. Becky had desided to skip breakfast, fearful of the rumors that would be spreading and the taunting of the Slytherins. Were they telling the truth? Did Kimi really set her up?
