Title: Into the Loving Arms of Magic
Rated: R
Warning: (L) (A)
Disclaimer: Most of these characters, or fictional places or really almost anything but the plot do not belong to me (obviously) they belong to the most wonderful and greatest genius ever. JKR of course. *CHEERS* If I take anything form anywhere else I will make sure to put it at the beginning of every chapter.
A/N: First of all thanks to Angelmorph and Lily for alerting me on time about my Mary Sue prob. I went and read up about it and Iris will have a change of character...Apart from that, everything else in my head will remain the same.... And yeah as you can see I fixed my squish problem too. Also, I couldn't bring myself to put that horrible Umbridge woman in my fic so the DADA teacher will be one of my characters. Enjoy!Oh and next chapter will take a while cuz I have tests and midterms this week and next one after that. Sorry!

McGonagall found Iris in her dormitory lying on her bed as though nothing had happened. Immediately she had Iris follow her to her office and sit.
"Miss Hernandez do you understand the magnitude of what you have done?" said McGonagall sternly.
"Yeah," replied Iris.
McGonagall sighed and peered at her in a peculiar way. "Explain to me then, why you attacked a Professor."
"Because he provoked me," was Iris's short reply.
"Nonsense, how could he have provoked you? I have never in all my years at Hogwarts seen such acts. Especially from my own House."
Iris was silent, though neither with shame nor guilt but with anger. Stupid teachers, she thought, they always have to protect each other no matter what country they're in.
"Obviously, the removal of House points does not bother you but in any case Professor Snape removed one hundred and fifty points from you. You also serve two weeks worth of detention with Professor Snape and you will see the Headmaster in his office right away."
When they arrived outside Dumbledore's office the Transfiguration teacher uttered the password. The gargoyle sprang to life and moved aside for them. Once inside McGonagall knocked on the door and after hearing a low voice say "Come in" she entered, with Iris right behind her. She was resolved to tell the Headmaster why she had hit Snape and she planned on getting justice or at least the closest thing to it.
McGonagall told Dumbledore what had happened in the Potions class while Iris stood in the background.
McGonagall left the room after she was done.
"Miss Hernandez, please take a seat." Iris sat but remained silent.
"Now, please explain to me how you were 'provoked' by Professor Snape."
"Well, you see," she started, and then noticed how weak she sounded, "during my Potions lesson the umm...Professor claimed that Hermione had told me how to brew the potion assigned. I was quick to tell him that I was no cheater and that I could brew the Draught of Peace with my eyes closed. But then--" she stopped.
"Go on, Miss Hernandez," said Dumbledore
"Yeah, anyway, so he said that schools in America didn't teach me anything and that that was why I needed Hermione to tell me how to make potions. So I hit him because I don't let anyone talk about me that way or where I came from."
"If I may inquire, did you attack the Professor while he was facing you?"
"No, sir. He had turned around to continue giving the lesson."
"Now, tell me this, did you think about hitting Professor Snape?"
"No, sir. I just acted on impulse."
"Very well, then is there anything else you would like to say to me?"
Iris hesitated. What did he mean? "No, sir. Nothing else."
"Then you may leave. Your first detention will take place with Professor Snape in the dungeons after classes."
She stood up and turned to go but then turned around and asked "Before I knew what I was, a witch, I mean, I went to a muggle school and if I would have attacked a teacher there I would have been expelled. I think even when I went to Regilucios they would have expelled me. So, how come you didn't?"
The Headmaster smiled. "You will see that here in Hogwarts we take a different angle towards punishment. Now go along now, I believe you have a class now am I correct?"
Iris left without another word. She had only five minutes left for Divination so she decided to skip and go straight to Defense Against the Dark Arts.
As she neared the classroom she could here hushed voices sounding from inside the class next to DADA classroom.
"Ron, I just don't like her. I have this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that is not good."
"But Harry, she hasn't even done anything! Really, it makes no sense to me what you're saying"
"Listen she has this attitude like she's about to kill anyone who dares to look at her. She's awful."
"Iris isn't like that at all. You just have to get to know her a little bit more."
"Sorry, but I don't want to get to know her. O.K.?"
"Fine but I really think that-"
Hermione tapping her on the shoulder interrupted Iris's eavesdropping.
"Iris, what are--" Iris put a finger to her lips and pulled her into the still empty DADA classroom.
"What a fucker! How dare he talk about me like he knows me!" shouted Iris.
"Who exactly are we talking about here?" said Hermione, though she knew perfectly well who the "fucker" was. "No one," said Iris taking a seat near the front away from Hermione, Ron and Harry who always sat way in the back.
The DADA class passed by uneventful and after class she stopped by her dormitory to drop off her books and headed out of the common room. On her way out she met Hermione.
"Iris, can you please tell me what is wrong with you?"
For a moment she thought of just walking away from Hermione but instead she looked straight into her eyes and said "Don't talk as if you know me because you have no idea. Oh and tell Harry to watch his back." She walked past Hermione before she could say anything and headed towards the dungeons.
