(Disclaimer: As always I do not own the characters ect.)

***A/N: Are Author Notes mandatory? Anywho... getting close to the Halloween Bash! I have something planned for that, but since technically the party is the end of the fic, I'm stalling.***

Characters: Same as yesterday and the day before that.

(Scene: Potion's Class. Snape is distracted momentarily by neville who has again managed to demolish another cauldron.)

Harry: When do you think Sirius is going to write us back?

Hermione: It could be awhile, remember he's on the run afterall.

Ron: Five sickles says buckbeak ate the letter.

Harry: You're on!

Snape: Having fun are we?

(A cold voice dawned on them as the whole class was staring at them.)

Draco: Did you say...Sirius? Sirius Black?

Ron: NO my cousin just happens to be named Sirius and he's helping...-er

Hermione: His brother Charlie in Romania; he's studying dragons.

(Everyone looks at Harry)

Harry: Uh, yeah, thats right, and we were -uh- writing him for ummm...

Hermione: Advice for our Care of Magical Creatures Class.

(Ron and Harry nodded violently)

Snape: Potter, Weasley, and Granger, stay after class, and, 10 points from Gryffindor for disrrupting class.

(Snape had a strange expression, of disappiontment and glee on his face)

Ron: Damnit! another night of gutting toads!

Hermione: Believe it or not I don't think he's giving us detention.

Ron: You've lost it!

Harry: Snape would never miss a chance to punish us.

(Draco, who had been sitting close to them leaned in to listen then raised his hand.)

Snape: Yes Mr. Malfoy?

Draco: Sir, if its not too much to ask, can you split these three up? They wont stop talking.

Snape: That sounds like a good idea. Potter up front! Weasley by Longbottom! Granger stay where you are.

(Harry sat down right infront of Snape)

Snape:*whisper* Better be more careful Potter wouldn't want the truth to slip, eh?

Harry: I'll keep that in mind.

(After potions class they found that each of them had gotten a detention. To Hermione's great joy, professor flitwick said he had something he needed done and asked snape if Hermione could serve her detention with him.)

Ron: Told you so Hermione!

(a figure appears out of the shadows behind them.)

Draco: Oh no, does Potter have a detention?...Gasp what a horrible thing to have happened!

Ron: Can it Malfoy!

Hermione: Oh hello Proffessor Dumbledore!

(Draco turned around to meet eyes with Dumbledore)

Dumbledore: Move along Mr. Malfoy.

(Draco left without another word)

Dumbledore: So, How are you three doing?

Ron: Have you ever considered sacking Snape?

Hermione:*shocked* Ron! don't ask the headmaster that!!

Harry: Were fine, Professor Snape gave us detention.

Dumbledore: Is that so. I will discuss this with Severus, perhaps I can get one of you to serve a detention with myself.

Ron: So...that basically means Harry's stuck with Professor Snape alone.

Harry: What do you mean?

Hermione: Professor Snape is really only intrested in getting you in trouble Harry, think about it.

(Dumbledore clears his throat)

Hermione: Uh, not that were trying to imply anything.
