Previous chapter: "Okay," Riddle sighed and the two of them walked sulkily to the dungeons. They did as they were told and went to sleep.

The next day Riddle and Lucius awoke feeling quite unpleasant. They walked downstairs to the common room shortly after they were dressed and found Ruby there sleeping with her head on her book. The two of them just laughed. Although why didn't they notice her the night before. Maybe they were too tired or maybe she wasn't there.

"Poor thing," Riddle laughed

"I think she's lost it," Lucius blurted

"Maybe she finished it so we won't have to deal with it."

"Yeah, I'll say."

Ruby woke up suddenly to find the common room filled and everyone staring at her. Lucius and Riddle didn't notice it before but there was an ice wall around her and the chair she was laying in.

"What? You can't tell me you have never fallen asleep reading!" She stated coolly

"Umm Ruby," Riddle stammered. "I don't think that is why everyone is staring at you."

"Okay how the hell did that get there?" Lucius asked confusedly

"Umm. Riddle I could use a little help here," Ruby said through gritted teeth.

Riddle quickly melted the ice wall. Now everyone was starring at Ruby and Riddle.

"Umm. Ta Da!" Riddle said and the two of them held out their arms. Everyone just stood there looking at them suspiciously.

"You didn't see nothing!" Riddle said nervously and grabbed Ruby and started to run.

They ran out of the common room as quickly as you can say superkalafragalisticexpialidoshus. They made it to the Slytherin table and got good seats. (Considering the fact that everyone was still back at the common room gaping.)

As the three of them were eating Riddle explained to Ruby about what had happened the night before.

"Why am I not surprised? I told you two to stay out of trouble!"

"But Rub.That's like impossible!" he whined

"Maybe for you but not for me," Lucius said thinking he is better than everyone else.

"You got into trouble too," Riddle spat

"Would you guys just cut it out, you both got into to trouble and you both are going to serve your detention tonight with Professor Bursarial."

The rest of the day was pretty much the same. They had most of their least favorite classes that day. After dinner Lucius and Riddle headed up to Professor Bursarial's office. They knocked softly and after two seconds.

"Oh well guess we don't have to serve our detentions after all!" Riddle exclaimed

Just as they took their first step to walk away from the door a voice stopped them dead in their tracks.

"Malfoy, Riddle, hold it right there!" Professor Bursarial projected

"Awe man!" Lucius groaned

"Walking away from a detention, my, my I am so disappointed," the professor said evilly. "I guess we'll just have to do something about that. Hmm. I think tomorrow should do the trick."

"What?" Lucius and Riddle yelled in chorus

Professor Bursarial was their least favorite teacher. But they had to cooperate in order to make it out on time so they could finish their homework that they had for the night. And what do you know, it was for her.

Riddle and Lucius took out their quills and some parchment to get started on their muggle studies homework but they were interrupted.

"I am afraid you won't be needing those tonight. or tomorrow either," she said sternly and pointed at their quills. "I have special quills here for you."

A quill appeared in front of each of them.

"Umm. don't we need ink?" Riddle asked confusedly

"No, just pick up the quill. You will be writing as follows," she picked up a piece of chalk and wrote on the board 'I will not walk the corridors at night' "I will tell you when to stop."

Riddle and Lucius did as they were told and began to write. As soon as they started they felt a searing pain in their wrists. Then they looked down at the paper it said I will not walk the corridors at night. They looked at each other in horror. They were using their own blood to write. Even though it hurt like hell, neither of them let even the slightest note of pain. They did not want to give the evil teacher the gift of satisfaction.

After about two and a half hours she walked up to Riddle and examined his right hand. (That was his writing hand) It said I will not walk the corridors at night. She smiled and walked over to Lucius, his writing hand was his left and it said the same exact thing. She smiled once more.

"You may go. But be back tomorrow at the same time or else," She opened the door and they ran out of there quick as a flash. They raced up to the common room and then collapsed panting heavily.

"I am so glad we got out of there," Riddle said in between breaths and clutching his searing hand.

"Yeah, me too,"

They walked up to their dorm and got undressed they fell asleep clutching their hands.

The next day was much better. They woke up early and managed to finish all of their homework. They had transfiguration, care of magical creatures, muggle studies, and defense against the dark arts. Along with trigonometry, their least favorite class. (I think you know why)

Later that night as Riddle and Lucius were writing Riddle decided to play a little joke on the teacher. Instead of writing 'I will not walk the corridors at night' he wrote, 'I will walk the corridors at night'. After a while it started to show up on his hand.

"You may go, please give me your papers," she said so very unenthusiastically. Knowing what he had done Riddle tried not to smile. He showed Lucius his hand once they were out of her reach and then he held him back.

"Wait!" he said smiling "Just hold on."

"RIDDLE!" Professor Bursarial's voice rang through the corridors.

"Run!"

They raced up to the common room and then after they caught their breath they went upstairs and changed. They did the little homework they had and went to bed.
