Ch. X Absent partners

As the students piled into Defense of the Dark Arts, Professor Winky waited until the class settled down to unleash the beast for the day.

"Class, this is the jiggling poly-wagger. Now pay attention class, this fine specimen is unique and hard to defend against, if you do not have proper training. Now look here, it attacks by bouncing up and down, gaining power and launches itself at you. One simple curse to get rid of the pest is Gentallia Stoopatadia, it would get rid of all of the momentum from the species. Potter come and show them how to do it," said Winky firmly.

"Coming," said Harry boringly.

Winky grabbed Harry's arms, and rubbed the arms up and down. Winky then smelled Harry's hair.

"Ah yes, I love the way your skin is peach white," said Winky. Winky licked his lips, and stared into Harry's eyes.

"Professor, I think the class needs help," said Harry nervously.

"I disagree, I think I shall help you," said Winky.

Harry looked at Cho desperately.

"Excuse me, Professor I need some help!" screamed Cho.

"Coming, sweetness," said Winky.

Winky continued to touch Harry up and down his face. Cho reacted to Winky by throwing the beast at Winky. The creature went dangerously crazy. The creature lunged into Winky's chest. Winky fell down in agony. That move could have resulted in instant death.

"Cho are you crazy? What in Merlin's name were you thinking, Cho?" asked Harry.

"I could not stand it he was getting more action with you than me!" exclaimed Cho.

The class laughed hysterically.

Winky rised up slowly, but fell again after Cho tripped him from his knees.

"Miss Chang, may I have a word with you?" asked Winky politely.

"Say it in front of everybody! You fag!" screamed Cho.

"Oh Miss China you don't want me to say this out loud," said Winky very sassily coming inches away from Cho face.

"Professor, with all do respect please let it go, it was an accident," pleaded Harry.

"Mr. Potter stay out of this! Your little friend is in deep trouble. Miss Chang will be spending the dance in detention!" yelled Winky.

"What? But I... I already picked out my dress robe! You can not do this, this is my last year at Hogwarts!" sobbed Cho.

Harry stood astonished.

"Well, well, it is settled, Miss Chang say what you will, but that was certainly not an accident," said Winky calmly. Winky went right over and started touching Harry.

Cho stormed out the class. Harry swung his arm out of Winky's grasp.

"Potter, do you want to have detention also?" asked Winky.

"I might as well, Cho was my date to the dance," said Harry softly.

There was loud screaming coming from the hallway. Professor Po appeared in the class.

"Professor Winkeeeeeeeeeee can me have words with you? My niece inform me you say she no come to dance. Why you do that to pretty girl?" asked Po.

"She called me a homosexual," said Winky.

"What!" screamed Po. "You not, you know, touchy- touchy on boys?" asked Po.

"I refuse to answer," replied Winky softly.

"Aww so you very, how you say GAY!" screamed Po. "Stop lie to yourself, you blame my niece for everything," screamed Po. She sees Winky hand touching Harry. "Looky you touch Mr. Potter, you verrrry gay," said Po.

"I had enough! Professor please excuse yourself out the door," said Winky calmly.

"Back in China we hate gay people! We have celebration for them, it call Wei Tou Le Li Ly Kimichiwa. You call it in this world as Halloween, Day of Dead, because all gay people die!" screamed Po twitching at the thought of gay people. "Cho will go because she spend all day in my class on dance day, she stay with me," said Po leaving, passing out egg rolls to the kids as she leaves.

Cho walked in behind her smiling.

"Miss Chang, even though you brought your ancestor to fight your case, you are still having detention!" screamed Winky.

"Professor Winky, no offense, but this is the last year of Hogwarts for us and maybe the last year for everyone. I think we should all enjoy the dance. What if you couldn't go to the gay festival?" asked Hermione snobbishly.

The class laughed even louder than ever before as they all watched Winky reply.

"Miss Granger, you will also be joining Miss Chang for detention," said Winky.

Ron jumped at the words.

"Class dismissed!" screamed Winky.

Hermione stood still in the hall. "Why couldn't I keep my big fat mouth shut," said Hermione talking to herself.

Cho started to cry.
