Disclaimer: J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter, not me, though it would be nice if I had, since I'd be rich, but either way, I own nothing already written or claimed by other people, and if they don't claim it, well finders keepers.

Summary: This story is supposed to be set a few years after the HP story. It won't contain very many of the official characters, except for the professors, of course. The rest will be made up by me. This is rated R because I'm too lazy to make sure it stays pg or pg-13.

The Tale of a Young Wizard

--------

"I can't believe that bitch turned me into a mouse!" Gregory whined to Steven as they made their way to the Great Hall for dinner.

"She was aiming at me, you were just too stupid to move out of the way."

"That's not the point! She hit me!!"

"Oh come off it, she didn't mean to. And besides, I'm the one who has to spend detention with her."

"Oh yeah I'm sure that's such a bad thing for you, yeah right.." He rolled his eyes at Steven who tried to hide his reddening face.

"You're pathetic, the girl has tried twice now to harm you and yet you still like her? Merlin!" Gregory ranted.

"I mean obviously she's never going to give you the time of day." They sat down, Gregory still ranting.

"There are many other girls in this school, much easier then she is, and prettier too." He declared, with a half-mocking grin. Steven returned his grin with a dark glare.

"There are no other girls in this school as pretty as her...and I don't care, we just got off on the wrong foot...yeah...you'll see, things'll change.."

"Riiiiight...whatever you say." The conversation ended there and the two began stuffing their faces with mashed potatoes and turkey.

Sabrina, this time, did not sit in her previous seat, she sat way on the other end of the Slytherin table. Purposefully getting as far from Steven and Gregory as she could get, dreading her detention which would start right after dinner.

"This is all his fault", she said to her friend, Megan.

"I told you to let it go..but noooo you just had to go and cast that spell..."

"Well if he hadn't spilled my juice all over me this never would've happened! It's his fault!"

"It was an accident! Come off it, he didn't mean to, you could tell just by how he looked afterwards, he was petrified!"

"Oh yeah whatever, and his friend was laughing his little snot-nosed head off. They planned it, I know they did."

"Good grief Sabrina..."

--------

Steven left for detention early, he hadn't felt like eating very much considering all that had happened in just his first day of school. He had not only met the girl of his dreams, he had made her completly loath him. He felt completly miserable.

"Why can't things go how I want them to? Just for once..." he moaned to no one in particular as he walked to Professor McGonagall's room.

"I'm head over heels in love with someone who would just as well cut my eyes out rather then look at me..." He moaned again, and came across McGonagall's room.

"Glad to see you could make it Mr. Indoval, if you would take a seat, we will await the arrival of your counterpart, Miss Bolzar, and then I will give you two your detention assignment for this week."

Professor McGonagall began to hum the tune of a Beatles song while they waited for Sabrina to arrive. Steven found it very amusing that she was humming, but kept his laughter under control so that she wouldn't punish him even more.

After a few more minutes, Sabrina came in, met by the Professor and Steven, who now were both singing "Penny Lane".

"Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes. There beneath the blue suburban skies I sit a-"

They both blushed, very embarassed. "Erm, welcome Miss Bolzar, if you'll please take your seat next to Mr. Indoval we will get started."

"Yes ma'am" Sabrina took a seat next to Steven, and scooted it slightly away from him.

"Since you two were fighting in the halls, I take it you don't like each other too much."

"You've got that right." Sabrina said before Steven could even react, after hearing it his head sunk a bit.

"Well then, before you leave me, you will be friends. Even if I have to bewitch one of you to do it."

Stevens face lit up at the same time as Sabrina's darkened.

"I don't want to be his friend! He's a jerk like all the other guys in my house!"

"Miss, if you make another outburst like that I will give you 5 weeks more detention, and it will be with Mr. Filch, not with me."

She immediatly cowered in her seat and weakilly replied "Yes ma'am..."

"Now then, I will leave you two to talk, but I will be right outside the door, so I will hear if anything happens, now please give me your wands."

Professor McGonagall walked out of the room with their wands and morphed herself into a cat while she stood on guard outside the door.

The two sat without saying a word for a while, until finally Steven broke the silence.

"It really was an accident this morning Sabrina..I didn't mean to spill th-"

"Shut up!"

"...the robes were real pretty..."

"W-what did you say?"

He cleared his throat "They were real pretty...before I wrecked them..."

She couldn't help but smile a little bit, "Thank you, I picked them out myself."

"I'm sorry you couldn't impress that...John-guy..and that he's kinda...asleep."

"Wh-How did you know about that? Were you listening in on my conversations! Why you little!!"

She lunged at him and Steven jumped out of his seat "I wasn't doing it on purpose! Your voice is prettier then Greg's so I ignored him and listened to you! Tha-" He stopped when he realized what he had said.

"I...er...I umm.."

He was saved by Professor McGonagall "It sounds like you two have made some progress, you may go now."

As soon as she said it Steven bolted out of the room, grabbing his wand as he ran, too scared of her reaction to look back or slow down. He didn't stop running until he had made it back to the Commons and up into his bed. Where he went straight to sleep...and dreamed of her, dancing freely in a field without a care in the world. In his dream he came along and started to dance with her, the two of them moving like birds, free and without a care.
