Finally updating, my muse came back. J
At the end of our last chapter we left our clothing nicking heroines like this.
"What on earth is going on here," she screeched when she saw Hermione and lavender in their skivvies in Ron's and Harry's arms, with a pile of women's clothing on the floor next to Hermione and Harry.
"Well Professor we were…um…anybody?" said Hermione, obviously not sure what to tell McGonagall.
"I don't know what they're doing here Professor we heard noises and saw some people trying to take a bag of stuff out of our room in the middle of the night, we didn't want them making off with our stuff so we grabbed them. We didn't know who it was, honestly." Ron looked as if he expected to die of embarrassment on the spot, "Just don't send an owl to me mum, please."
Harry started giggling and released Lavender long enough to allow himself to fall to the floor and start shrieking with laughter at the look on Ron's face.
"What's going on?" mumbled a sleepy Neville.
"Yeah what's all the racket about chimed in Seamus?" fully awake and staring curiously at Lavender in her skivvies.
Dean also seemed interested in Lavender's skivvies but was smart enough to not say anything.
"You three stay out of this," said McGonagall, "this matter is between Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Ms. Granger, Ms. Brown, and myself. You four if you would kindly follow me. And for heavens sakes you two please put something on." She said this last bit to Lavender and Hermione who were snatching desperately at Hermione's clothes. Hermione got her robes and Lavender got a sweater, so they both put them on.
"McGonagall led the four of them to her office, seated them on opposite sides of the room, Ron and Harry on one and Hermione and Lavender on the other, went behind her desk and sat to face them.
"Well?" she said expectantly, "Somebody please tell me what is going on."
Ron who looked terrified at the thought of telling McGonagall what had happened whimpered and sank back into his chair trying to make himself look smaller, and insignificant.
"Oh fine I'll tell her what happened, "said Harry finally, and launched into the whole sorry tale.
"The only thing is, " said McGonagall when Harry had finished, looking very sheepish, "Is what Ms. Brown and Ms. Granger were doing in your room in the middle of the night?"
"If you please," said Lavender slowly "we were just trying to get Hermione's clothes back from, those two," She said gesturing at Ron and Harry.
"Well then if that is all, I must give all four of you detention, and Hermione you will receive two, not only because you participated in a game that is against school rules, but because you were also out of bed after lights out, and in the boy's dorm no less. I expect better of all of you, please don't let it happen again. You will receive owls at breakfast concerning your detentions. Now I suggest that you all go to bed, in your own dorms."
As the four of them walked dejectedly back to Gryffindor tower Lavender suddenly perked up.
"Hey, can I play with you guys next time?"
"Sure," said Hermione, "How does next Thursday sound?"
"Great," said everybody. And they all went to sleep a bit more cheerful than they had been before.
