A/N: Well, at long last here is chapter two. Sorry to have kept you all waiting for so long, but life and my other stories have been keeping me very busy. I hope you enjoy this chapter and please review.
Thank you to those of you who reviewed; they have all been very nice and I'm glad that you are enjoying this random story.
CHAPTER ONE HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY CHANGED. INSTEAD OF HAVING O/C DRAVEN; I HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH JUST HAVING BLAISE AS THAT CHARACTER. OF COURSE, HE HAS BEEN AT HOGWARTS THIS WHOLE TIME AND DID NOT TRANSFER FROM BEAUXBATON.
Chapter Two: Surprise Inspection
It was the early morning hours of the first day of school. Every student and most of the teachers were still in their beds, tucked under their nice, warm covers, and fast asleep as the sun had barely even begun to rise. However, all that was about to change.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
"Ugghh! Crabbe, turn off your alarm." Draco groaned as he pulled the covers tightly over his head.
"It's not my alarm." Crabbe said as he hit the clock several times just to make sure.
"What is that?" Blaise asked in a groggy and confused manner as he raised himself up on his elbows and looked around the room in search of where the sound was coming from.
Draco poked his head out from underneath the covers and listened, "It's a bell!"
"Good morning, Slytherins!" came a far-too-cheery and loud voice for so early in the morning.
Everyone groaned in unison as they recognized the voice of their new head of house which had been magicked so that it could be hear in every room of the Slytherin dormitories. As the voice continued, pillows were pulled over heads and held tightly about the ears.
"It's time for everyone to get their lazy selves out of their beds; surprise inspection!"
"Are you KIDDING!" Draco yelled as he extricated his head from the pillow and glared at the ceiling where the voice seemed to be coming from.
"Forget that!" Blaise said as he made himself comfier in his bed; fully prepared to go back to sleep. Draco, as well as everyone else, did the same.
Not even a minute later the voice was heard again, "Should I come to your rooms and find you all still in bed then a hefty amount of house points WILL be taken."
Groans and muttered curses could be heard throughout the dorms as the Slytherins reluctantly slid out of their beds and groggily set about dressing themselves.
"Hey, you guys think we aught to clean up this room before Liken comes in here to "inspect" us?" Montague asked as he took one last look at himself in the mirror.
"Why?" Blaise asked as he loosely knotted his green and silver tie.
"Well, this place is a mess." Blaise motioned to the bits of clothes that laid about the floor, the unmade beds, the books and papers which were scattered all over the place, as well as empty boxes of Berty Botts Every Flavor Beans and wrappers of various different kinds of candy.
"There's no way that I am cleaning up for 'him'." Draco said as he pulled on his uniform jumper. He had decided to leave his white shirt underneath untucked so it showed passed the end of his jumper. He then looked in the mirror and mussed his hair up a bit. He figured that girls seemed to go more for the slightly messy and disheveled look rather than the neat and slick look that he had sported for the first couple of years. "That professor Liken is nobody special; he's going to see us just the way we are."
"A bunch of disgusting, unorganized slobs?" Blaise said.
"Exactly."
Just at that moment the door opened and Liken walked in. None of the boys said a word but just stood there and watched as Liken inspected their room. It only took two minutes until Liken rounded on them.
"Disgusting! This place is a swamp! Beds unmade, candy wrappers and clothes all over the floor! And just look at yourselves; hair unkempt, uniforms in a disgraceful state, and look at those ties!" In three quick steps Liken stood in front of Blaise; he grabbed the knot and ends of his tie and roughly slid it up so that it was nearly choking the boy. As soon as Liken turned back around Blaise loosened the knot a bit so that he could breathe again. "This is pathetic! One night and your room looks like this! This is your first warning." Liken said as he approached the door. "I will not take house points away this time," he turned to face them, "but none of you shall go to breakfast until you have cleaned this room and yourselves up properly." Liken swiftly turned and slammed the door behind him.
Slowly four of the five boys began to pick up the debris in their room; Draco remained scowling fiercely at the closed door where Liken had just a moment ago stood.
"Don't worry, guys," he said, "today I'll write to my father and by tonight that Liken should be out of here.
Smiles crept across the boys' faces as they set to work.
Several pairs of curious eyes looked upon a fair sized group of tired looking Slytherins as they entered the Great Hall halfway through breakfast and seated themselves at their table. Many of them glared hatefully towards the teachers' table where Liken smugly sat.
"I wonder what they were up to." Ron said as Draco and his group sat down with deep scowls upon their faces.
"Whatever it was they don't look too happy." Harry said as he stuffed another forkful of eggs into his mouth. The Slytherins were certainly NOT happy.
