Chapter II: The Graffiti

Aly was not afraid of this. She was quite used to bullies.

"Aly, I KNOW that you are not responsible for this." said Hermione "I was with you all night, and you barely moved an inch in bed."

"I'll be right back I have to take care of some business." Aly said angrily. "Tell Professor Snape I won't be coming to class"

And with that, she rushed off. Instead of going straight to Dumbledore, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She had some idea of who wrote the graffiti.

She wondered around aimlessly, looking for the culprit. With all the hallways someone could get really lost. But Aly kept to looking. Aly was ready to show them who they were dealing with. (If she could ever find the butthead).

Aly wondered if a picture would know anything, they seemed pretty smart.

So she went up to the closest picture she could find and asked, "Did you see any one with a spray bottle or someone who wrote that on the wall?"

"Yes, little girl, but I didn't get a good look at him. Now would you please leave me, I have to put on my makeup. I can't be looking horrid when so many people pass by here each day!" the painting said with a shriek.

Aly left in a hurry so she would not to attract attention from any other classes going on. Finally she sat down under the old clock, contemplating why someone would want to do this.

"I mean, why would someone want to get me into trouble? I have barely spoken to anyone in this school.... Probably just for their own pleasure," Aly thought.

Without anyone noticing, a dark figure slipped behind her. She sensed something, but when she turned around, but only the grass and trees stood. Aly decided to go back to class.

"How wonderful of you to finally join us." Snape commented rudely.

"Sorry, Professor Snape" Aly muttered under her breath.

"Do you think you are too good for us, with your wandless magic and all?"

"No, Professor Snape." Aly said in a mono tone.

"RING RING RING!!!!!!!" the bell went.

"Whew, saved by the bell," Aly thought to herself.

"Hermione told me about the graffiti, who do you think did it?" Harry inquired.

"I dunno, but whoever it is sure doesn't like me."

"Don't worry, it's only a prank, they always do this to newcomers." Harry stated.

As Aly was walking to her next class, Transfiguration, she was summoned by professor Dumbledore.

"Please come with me Aly, we have found something with your name written all over it."

Dumbledore walked Aly to the graffiti marks.

"What do you have to say to defend yourself?"

"It wasn't me" Aly said quickly.

Dumbledore looked at Aly suspiciously. He called out Snape,

"What do you make of this?"

"I make out that a delinquent named Aly is trying to get attention for herself," Snape said smirking.

"Is this true, Aly?"

"Honest Professors, I was in my bed all night... even ask Hermione!"

"Then why were you late to class?" Snapped Snape.

"I was trying to find the person who framed me."

"Then why didn't you go to a teacher Aly?" Dumbledore questioned.

"Because I usually deal with bullies on my own."

"But this school is full of teachers you should have gone to one of us. This is a warning. Next time something like this happens, come to one of us."

When the bell rang the kids came filing out of the class. Malfoy came and saw Dumbledore, Snape, and Aly front of the graffiti. Malfoy watched as Dumbledore and Snape walked away and Aly looking speechless.

Malfoy walked over and said, "Nice penmanship, I couldn't write so well with spray paint in all my life!"

Aly flushed red with anger and was about to cast a spell on Malfoy, when Hermione, Ron and Harry saw what she was doing and tried to stop her, but it was too late. With a snap of her fingers, all of Malfoy's hair was gone. Ron and Harry plummeted to the floor and started laughing hysterically. Malfoy looked puzzled and went to put his hands through hid hair when he realized, he had none.

Malfoy in the highest pitched girly voice screamed, "MY HAIR WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!?!?!"

"I dunno..." Aly said innocently. This made everyone around them laugh even louder.

"BUT MY HAIR!! MY HAIR!! ITS...IT'S... GONE!!!!"

"How was I supposed to know if I snapped, your hair would disappear?"

"ARGH!!!!!!!!" Malfoy screamed in frustration.

Aly smirked.

"I will get my revenge, Cooper!" he vowed.

And with that Malfoy stormed off.
