& Murmurs chapter title in book 2). Same disclaimer as the previous chapter
no more new characters too many already XD. Well here ya go ^_^:
Chapter 4: Dates & Dungbombs
September seemed to fly by for the twins until the last day of the month. Derek, Alyssa, & the crew sat in Transfiguration class. Alyssa stared at McGonagall, Tash stared at Derek, Derek stared out the window, Nas doodled, Draco flicked tidbits of paper at Potter, & Broke plotted out the best way to poke Nas and be unnoticed by McGonagall.
"And that concludes today's lesson". McGonagall finished. "Before you go though, I have an announcement. An Autumn Ball will be held on Halloween. Happy date finding".
Derek, Alyssa, Draco, Tash, Nas, & Broke made their way out of the classroom and turned toward the dungeons.
"Well I knew they were gonna hold another ball before we left the school, but I didn't think it'd be an Autumn Ball. I was pretty surprised. How 'bout you guys?" Alyssa blurted out once they were out of the classroom.
"I wasn't surprised, but maybe that's because I used one of those Weasley Extendable Ears on the staff room door". Broke said, then frowned, "Sad to say but those Weasley twins were the only decent Gryffindors I've ever met. I hope I can leave Hogwarts with a better performance than theirs".
"Yeah, yeah enough about your beloved Weasley twins. Here comes Potter". Derek said as they sat down in the Potions room.
Broke looked as though Christmas had come early. "I've been waiting to use this one all summer since I found out that Black died". He whispered to Derek & Draco. "Hey Potter! Have a nice summer without that filthy dog of yours?" Broke yelled across the room.
Snape walked in on the word "without", but figured pretty much what the insult was about. "Rockward! Here! Now!" Snape yelled. The class suddenly fell silent. Broke walked over to the isolated corner where Snape stood. "Five points from Slytherin will be taken for that comment. As for your personal punishment, there will be none. Although hear me out on this. I've had you since your 1st year and I've lost count of how many times you've gotten into trouble making me come to this decision. If I hear you are in trouble one more time I will give you detention for the rest of the year".
"Ok," Broke answered quietly and went back to his seat.
By the end of class all of the Slytherins in that room knew what Professor Snape had said to Broke.
*******
"Hey Alyssa, what's today's date?" Derek asked.
"October 26th," Alyssa answered, "Why?" Derek, Alyssa, and co were sitting at dinner in the Great Hall.
"So I'd know how many days left I have to get a date".
"Who'd wanna go with you?"
"You'd be surprised how many girls have asked me to go with them".
"Yea," Alyssa laughed, "And let me guess, they were all klutzy idiots".
"No, not all of them, Chang asked me". Derek smirked.
Alyssa rolled her eyes. "Exactly, Chang fits that category too".
"Actually Chang isn't that klutzy. She's pretty much the opposite I mean she's on the quidditch team". Broke said butting in.
Alyssa glared at him.
"But then again what do I know? Heh heh. Do you know where Tash is by any chance? I need to talk to her about our Herbology project".
"Yeah, I think she's in the Slytherin Common Room". Alyssa answered.
Broke stood up.
"I should get started on my Potions essay so I'll go with you. See ya Lyss." Derek too stood up, and followed Broke out of the Great Hall.
Alyssa turned to Pansy. "So got a date for the ball yet?"
"No, Alyssa, I don't have date for the ball yet". Pansy said rather loudly hoping that Draco heard her.
Alyssa mentally chuckled.
Draco looked from Pansy to Alyssa to Nas. "Hey, Nas, wanna go to the ball with me?"
Nas smiled & replied, "I'd love to Draco".
Pansy looked like the Grinch stole Christmas.
"B-b-but Draco! What about me?!" Pansy managed to get out.
"What about you?" Draco looked her as if he were watching the history channel.
"Why Nas over me?" Pansy demanded to know. She still looked in shock of the situation.
Draco sighed. "Ok. About 4th year I never liked you that was just a rumor that Broke started because I had jinxed him earlier that day. Then you asked me to go to then ball when you heard the rumor that I liked you and I figured ah well play along with the bull shit since ya don't have a date. To spend another night with you wouldn't only be a mistake, but torture. So to answer your question, I propose another question. Why take cute when I can take sexy?" He winked at Nas, gave a small wave to Pansy, and went off to sit at the other end of the Slytherin table where Crabbe & Goyle were.
Pansy gave Nas a look of disgust. "You're a slut I hope you know".
Nas rolled her eyes. "Well at least I'm not a tacky bitch". Nas raised a brow and smirked.
Pansy clearly defeated stormed out of the Great Hall off to some unknown destination.

Meanwhile Derek, Broke, & Tash sat in the Slytherin Common Room quietly talking when Filch burst into the room. "Rockward! Front and center!" He yelled.
Broke crossed the room to where he was. "You rang?"
Filch glared at him. "Don't you, you rang me mister. You know you released those dungbombs outsides my office so that you could spray paint 'SQUIB' on my office walls!"
Broke looked like the idea impressed him. "Good idea, but I didn't do it." Broke looked as calm as ever.
"Yeah right. Looks like you've landed yourself with detention for the rest of the year." Filch smiled an evil smile.
Broke's calmness evaporated faster than you could say "quidditch". "BUT SIR, I DIDN'T DO IT!"
Tash & Derek couldn't help but overhear the conversation. They both walked over.
Filch glanced over at them. "Yes?"
"I did it", they answered in unison. Derek and Tash looked at each other puzzled. "You?" They continued to say in unison. "We did it".
Filch looked somewhat disappointed, yet still livid. "Detention for a week, yes that includes during the Autumn Ball. You'll be scrubbing my office walls without magic to show you what its like to be a squib. You start now". He now had a smiled of satisfaction on his face as he pointed to the door.
