"Bit of a soar looser aren't you, Avery?" "Bugger off bloody half blood," Stephan said, sneering at Gabrielle , her grip on her wand tightened, and the house elves in the kitchens carried all three of them out into he hallway.

"Yelling at Morgian because she won the game!" she said back as she was carried. "How dare you!" She stood up. "This is between me and Morgian not some bi-" Stephan said, but Morgian interrupted him. "Stephan calm down! Gabrielle please, let me talk to him for a minute." Morgain said and looked at Gabrielle desperately. "Fine. But ill be close by so ill know if he tried something." She said and stomped off. She sat at the end of the corridor, behind the corner so they couldn't see her but she could hear them. She heard them both whispering. "Please just listen to me" Morgian said to Stephan quietly." I'm sorry, in the game I just turned into a Lestrage and left everything that's me behind." Gabrielle could hear Morgian cry. Gabrielle peered behind the corner to see if this was really happening. She thought it was Stephan who had done the wrong thing, not Morgain. Then she heard Morgian speak again. "If I could take it back I would but I cant and I'm sorry that all the slitherins are going to be mad at you. Please don't be mad at me". Gabrielle's face was pierced with dread; she thought it was Stephan who did the un-fair playing in the game! She didn't know it was Morgain's fault! She figured Stephan was angry with her because she won the game fairly and he had to slam into her, Gabrielle hit her head on the cold wall behind her. "Stupid-stupid-stupid" she whispered while she hit her head. She figured she would have Morgian tell her what happened after wards. Then she heard Stephan say Morgain's name, and her answer back with "mmmmhmmmmmm." Then to her surprise she heard. "Fine then, don't look at me, I can kiss you all the same." She heard him say with attitude. WHAT? Gabrielle thought, she resisted and didn't look back, she felt like crawling away, but instead she put her arms down on the floor holding her up, and leaned against the wall, her legs on the cold floor. Then she heard Stephan apologize, and Morgain replying, telling him there was no reason for him to do so. She heard some whispering that she couldn't make out clearly, she leaned closer to them hoping to hear something, they obviously don't want me hearing, I've meddled enough she thought and sat there with arms folded all she heard next was "Lets shower together this time," It was Stephan who said it. Gabrielle's face went red How dare he! uuuh that is positively disgusting she squirmed horribly and made a face, but then she was happy to hear Morgain's response. "Uhhhh.how about NO!" Gabrielle heard it as clear as a bell. Then Stephan mumbled about having to get out his wand because someone was going to kill him. From then on she couldn't hear anything, then she saw Stephan barge past her, not even looking back to smile evilly at Gabrielle, he just walk by with a grin on his face. She almost said sorry to him for blaming him for all of it, but a part of her knew he would take it to his advantage and never let her live it down. She sat on the floor, waiting for Morgian to walk up to her, and when she did they started talking. "Could you please tell me what happened?" she sighed and started with her story. It started with the part she left off at last time in the hospital wing. In the game, she noticed Sirius give her a mean look after she smiled at Stephan. Stephan had been tailing her, and knew her "secret weapon" because Sebastian told him. He took that time to flirt with her a little and when they both saw the snitch they went for it until Morgian figured that if she didn't slam into him, he would and he would end up getting the snitch so she slammed into him. She ended up getting the snitch. She felt horrible because she acted just like a Lestrage would, and now his house is going to give him trouble. She knew Morgian felt badly about this, and she comforted her and they walked away form the corridor. "Shouldn't you be in the hospital wing?" Morgian asked her. "OH yeah! I forgot! Madame Pomfrey will definitely have my head" they ran the rest of the way to the hospital wing; as soon as they entered Madame Pomfrey walked up to Gabrielle and handed her a vile of the potion she was taking and Gabrielle's things that she had in the hospital saying. "Go Gabrielle. You're healthy enough. Just drink that tonight and TAKE IT EASY!" obviously Madame Pomfrey had enough of her, so Gabrielle tried being as polite as she could and left the hospital. Morgian burst out laughing as soon as the door closed behind them. "I should bring this to the common room." Gabrielle said, ignoring Morgain's laughter. Morgian laughed on, and said she would meet up with Gabrielle later between laughs. Gabrielle walked off to the Gryffindor common room, with her things in her arms. "Toads stool," she said to the plump lady in the pink dress. "Dear! I haven't seen you in a while now! My friend Caroline downstairs told me you were ill and I was so worried-" "Er. Thanks" Gabrielle said, edging the lady on so she could get through the portrait. The portrait swung open and she said thank you to her as she climbed through the portrait hole, which was a bit hard for her because she was carrying the things she had in the Hospital wing in her arms. When she entered the common room she saw James and his friends in the corner around a table, near her favorite chair. They wee all huddled around the table and looked interested in what they were talking about. She tried walking to the girls' dormitories without being seen, but James saw her and looked up and smiled. "Oy! Orwood!" Sirius said when he saw who James was looking at. "Pomfrey let you go?" "No!" she shouted back across the room, she loved being loud like this. "Pomfrey kicked me out," they all laughed and she smiled and walked up the stairs, her shoes making loud hollow sounds when her feet hit each stair. She threw everything on her bad, still smiling, then found her trunk and put everything inside. She walked down the stairs when she heard James and Sirius calling her down a while later. She ended up reading on her bed, but they called her down so she put down the book and walked down the steps to see what was going on. "We have detention soon. Remember?" James said to her. "Oh yeah." She answered, "What do you suppose McGonagall will make us do?" "You know." Sirius said, not intending on answering her question "you're pretty calm about this, being the goody-two-shoes you are." She glared at him. Then James started "You know Sirius, you're right!" she eyed at both of them this time and walked towards the portrait hole, they followed along behind her, laughing. Once they left the common room and walked down the corridor. . "Gabrielle why did you try keeping me from detention and not James?" Sirius said. "Well you weren't a part of this," she said, but then the look on his face told her otherwise. "Oh" she said and they walked on to McGonagall's office. They entered, and saw her at her desk correcting papers. She looked up at them when they walked up to her desk, then she got up and walked out of the room, not saying a word or looking at them in the eye. They followed her. They walked down stairs to the ground level, past the grand hall, and past the entrance hall into the deserted hallway that Gabrielle remembered to be the one they fought at, while being spied on by Snape. They hadn't had any trouble form him, and it was probably because he was bad at spying. He didn't even hear them coming over to him! They walked into a room with a high glass paneled ceiling, though it was covered with grime and only let in spots of light. The room was filled with tables, chairs and materials.
