A/N: It's my readers! Yay. I don't feel like thanking everyone this time,
but rest assured, if you're an avid reader, and especially if you've
reviewed, I thank you! Without reviews I probably wouldn't have even wrote
Chapter Three. You guys complete me! readers look weirded out, slowly back
away Oh my I'm babbling! Anyways... So guess what? As of May 18th, I'm 14!
Wa-hoo! You didn't think I was that young, did you? :) Well enough of my
small talk, on with the story! It takes place throughout the days of class
after the professors returned. Read! Enjoy! Review!
"So there were no problems?"
It was the next morning during breakfast. Hermione and Ron were being questioned by Professor McGonagall about the actions of their fellow Gryffindors.
"None, professor. Everyone behaved themselves perfectly. The other houses were well behaved, too." Hermione answered.
"How would you know about the other houses' behaviour unless you were all out roaming the halls? Hmm?" McGonagall spoke sternly, but was smiling, as if she and the other professors knew all of what had happened the night they were gone.
"Well, people were getting disgruntled, so all the houses played some games together to pass the time." Ron answered.
"That's perfectly alright. Did you really think us professors would expect you students not to entertain yourselves? We were young once, too."
"So, you're not taking any points? From anyone?" Ron asked
"Not unless there's a reason to, which you've just told me there wasn't. Now go join your classmates in the Great Hall, you don't want to miss breakfast."
Ron and Hermione left McGonagall's office but instead of going to the Great Hall, they went off toward the library to meet Harry. When they got there, they spotted him browsing through Quidditch books.
"Hey guys." Harry whispered. "Not in trouble are we?"
"Nope." Hermione whispered back. "Although it does seem like they know something. Vaguely, probably, but I think the whole staff knows we played Truth or Dare and that people got together and the like."
"So? Having a bit of fun isn't against the rules. That's only in Muggle schools!" Cracked Ron, earning him a "Sssh!" and a glare from Madam Pince.
"Let's go get some last minute breakfast, guys." Harry offered, and the threesome left the library.
"You know what I think?" Said Ginny. It was the next day after lessons and the Gryffindors were either lounging around the Common Room or out visiting their friends in the other houses. "I bet there wasn't a You-Know-Who sighting at all! I bet the professors all ran off just to watch and see what we would do! I just know it!"
"Well, that'd be weird. Teachers watching us have fun for their own kicks? Disturbing." Shuddered Parvati, who was sitting next to Harry with her arms around him.
"But hey, think of how the people hooked up. It wasn't just Gryffindors and Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs and Hufflepuffs, and so on. The houses were mixing and mingling. It's just like the Sorting Hat said at the start of the year and what Dumbledore said last year after Cedric Diggory died. The houses must come together and not hate each other." Ron said.
"Wow. I didn't know you were so deep." Commented Neville.
"So," asked Harry. "Are you saying that they knew what we were gonna do and that's why they left? So all four houses would have fun together and become friends?"
"Maybe." Was all Ron said, for he was still thinking over it all himself.
"Mr. Malfoy!"
"Yes professor?" Malfoy stopped running to talk to Professor Snape.
"You know you can't run in the halls. It's not safe. I'll let you off with a warning this time."
Malfoy smiled, knowing by 'this time' Snape really meant 'every time.' "Yes professor Snape sir."
"And Draco?" Snape added. "Yes professor?" "When you get to Gryffindor Tower to retrieve Miss Granger, could you ask Potter to meet me in my office?" Malfoy stared at Snape for a moment then replied "Of course, sir." He continued on his way, indeed to Gryffindor Tower.
"You wished to speak with me?" Harry announced his presence as he entered Snape's classroom.
"Yes, yes. Come in and shut the door behind you." Snape's voice came from behind a door Harry knew was concealed behind a chalkboard. Just then the door revealed itself, and Harry opened it and stepped inside Snape's office.
"Um... Why an I here, exactly?" Harry was very confused, especially since the last time he was in this office Snape had yelled at him to never return.
"Well, you're here to receive your detention of course." This was even more confusing to Harry. "I haven't done anything to receive detention!"
"Potter, I'd rather you didn't raise your voice at me." Snape said dangerously. "You are here for what you have done last night." "Which is nothing!" Harry exclaimed.
"As we were entering the Entrance Hall, I spotted you turning a corner. I know it was you, Potter, so don't deny it." "
"How, exactly? How do you know it was me?"
"Your glowing pride and arrogance nearly blinded me." Snape spoke scornfully.
Harry scowled right back, then said "You can't do anything. The prefects were in charge, not you, and they didn't give me a detention. Besides, even if it was me, you didn't say anything then. You didn't give me detention, so I'm not gonna serve something I didn't receive!" Harry turned on his heel and was out of the dungeons before Snape could speak back to him.
"So it's obvious they know, but do they care?"
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Parvati, Ron's new girlfriend Kathryn, and Draco were still discussing the professors even though it was a week later.
"I think we've done this enough, Ron." Hermione said. "Let's get a new subject."
"Yeah, I know what you mean. We've been talking about this for a while." Agreed Parvati.
"Let's just all agree that the profs know too much for their own good. Agreed?" Harry asked.
"Agreed!" Said everyone in unison. Then they split up and went on their ways, the conversation finally closed.
End of chapter Four
