Sorry this chapter is a bit short!
3:58 p.m.
Cynthia turned a corner in the hallway, head down and feeling the tears coming again.
Damn it, she thought, I'm so emotional. I hate it!
She rounded another corner and heard her best friends Marie's voice.
"So? When's detention and who's it with?" she asked concerned.
"Tonight and I don't know yet." Cynthia replied sulkily.
"Oh, don't be so upset about it. It's not that bad. Unless, of course, you happen to end up with Snape."
"God, I hope that doesn't happen to me. Not on my first detention." She says, looking at her.
"Probably not. Professor Conly is very reasonable. He knows that no one likes Snape. He wouldn't give Snape to you."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
6:30 p.m.
"Professor Snape?" Cynthia almost shouts. "But, but..."
"I'm sorry Ms. Janis, but he was the only one available for tonight. So he kindly agreed to watch over you during detention. At eight tonight. Ok?"
"Yes sir." Replies Cynthia, looking down at her shoes. She walks back over to the Gryffindor table and sit down next Marie.
"Whom are you having detention with?" she asks.
"My favorite teacher." Cynthia replies, moving her mashed potatoes away from my peas.
"Cool. You get to spend a night with Dumbledore?"
"It was sarcasm." Says Cynthia, rolling her eyes.
"Oh," she says, a look of confusion on her face, "then who?"
"Snape."
"You're kidding me. That can't be right."
"It is. Believe me, I heard him."
"Wow. Harsh. Even I haven't had a detention with old Snapey yet."
"I know. Can we end this subject?"
"Sure. Sorry."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Sometime later in the common room.
"Well, I guess I'll see you later." Cynthia says as she gets up from her comfy chair.
"Yeah. If you're not back by midnight, I'm calling Dumbledore. Ok?" laughs Marie
"Got it." Cynthia says, a small smile coming to her face. Cynthia opens up the portrait of the fat lady and walks out of the hole in the wall. She walks down the hallway with the Fat Lady calling after her, "Thanks for waking me up!" At that Cynthia laughs.
Weird, she was in a good mood, even though she was going to see Snape.
The word Snape in her mind made her smile even more. And then in the screen of her mind, she saw hearts appearing around the word Snape.
WHAT?! She thought, Snape and hearts don't go together.
She tried to shake the image of the word Snape out of her mind, but it wasn't working. She tried to ignore, which worked better.
At last she reached the bottom of the staircase and knocked on the classroom door.
