( That white slab in the can of beans.... That's the Queen Bean!)
By the time the two got to Snape's office, Dark's wrist was getting pretty sore. Snape must have been pushed a bit far by the cuteness of Chuckles. Professor Snape opened the door and they walked in.
"Sit." He said in his usual angry voice. Dark sat and waited for him to start. Once he started ranting about her conduct, she would probably tune him out somehow.
"Miss Smith. You have been making a fool out of me for the past few months. Today...."
Dark kept a blank face throughout Snape's rant. Her thoughts flipped through random things as she pretended to listen.
" Violating curfew..."
HEHE silly penguns.....Did snape say perfume? Nah, probably cerfew. He's kinda cute when he's angry...In a scaryish way. I wonder when he'll shut his mouth.... He sure looks mad.
" Using magic on me, your Professor!"
Well, he's sure used his magic on me.... Wah! Stop it! Yucky Dark!
" Smith! Are you listening to ANYTHING I'm saying??" Snape must have realized that Dark was ignorong his speech.
" Wha? Oh. Yes sir, I understand...." Dark said automatically. She snapped out of her trance and noticed that Snape's eye was twitching. Whoops.
" Detention. Tonight at eight. Be here Miss Smith." Snape said in a harsh tone. He pointed to the door, and it was quite clear to Dark that she should leave.
While walking back up to the great hall, Dark started to laugh. She didn't find anything funny, but she was tired. She thought of last night and laughed even harder. When she got to the Gryffindor table, Harry and Ron looked terrified. Hermione looked a bit worried, but probably more for the insane boys.
" What did he do to you? Did he make you insane? Why are you laughing!?!?" Blurted Ron. He still thought that Snape was the spawn of evil. Dark stopped laughing. She didn't understand why they were that afraid of Snape. She explained what happened, so Ron and Harry wouldn't pee themselves. Then she pulled out her list.
" You are still going to do that?" Asked Harry. " Snape's allready caught you and gave you detention!"
" Don't be stupid. I'm not going to let him scare me. Besides I think it's war now." Answered Dark. She'd find someting to do during her detention. She scanned the oh-so-farmilliar list and found one to do.
"108. Look at him. Give him over- exaggerated expressions. Change you expression every 5 seconds. excited, scared, thoughtful, angry, sad, demure, happy, etc"
Dark thought about this task and smiled broadly. Hermione leaned over to see what was so funny, so Dark pointed to the task. Hermione laughed.
" Can't you imagine it?" Asked Dark. Then she started making weird faces. The whole Gryffindor table laughed, even though they had no clue what she was doing.
Since it was Sunday, Dark didn't have to do anything. She sat around inside, because she didn't want to go out into the cold November air. She took a long nap to make up for waking up so early to take a run around the castle. When she woke up, it was three in the afternoon. Lunch was over, so she took a trip to the kitchen. The house elves happily got her some taquitos. She felt like eating taquitos for some strange reason. When she was done eating, she went to sleep again. She was probably going to be up all night because of it, but she juat really wanted to sleep.
She woke up to the sound of Ginny's voice.
"Dark! It's almost eight! Get up, lazy!" Ginny was grinning. " Wouldn't want to miss your detention with Snapey-poo!" She was too clever.
Dark groaned. " Aw, whaddaya mean?" She asked sheepishly. Ginny gave her a look. "Ok, Gins, you got me. But how can I help it?" Dark climbed out of the portriat hole, said hello to the fat lady, and set off to Snape's office. She sighed, not looking forward to acting insane in front of Snape. The task seemed fun until she really thought about it. Oh well, the show must go on, right?
Dark knocked on the door to Snapes office.
"Enter." Came his voice from inside. Dark went into the room and awaited instruction for her detention.
Snape gave her a stack of first year potions essays to correct, and pointed to a desk in the corner of the room. Cold shoulder, eh? Dark got to work on the essays. When she finished grading the first one, She looked up. Snape was watching her. Dark put on the happiest looking face she could without hurting her face. Snape shook his head and looked back to his work. Dark corrected a few more esays. She put very constructive notes in the margins. She thought it would be a lot nicer for the firsties than what Professor Snape usually wrote.
She put her quill in the ink pot and looked up again with a dramatic frown. Snape glared. After five seconds, She put her hands on her cheeks and looked suprised.
" Don't ask, don't let it get to me...." Snape muttered quietly to himself. He probably thought Dark couldn't hear him. She snickered to herself and continued correcting the papers. To bug snape, she was signing them all and drawing little smileys when the paper was a good one.
After a few ours of grading papers and making faces at Snape, detention was over. Dark skipped all the way back to the common room. All that sleeping gave her a ton of extra energy. It took Dark a while to get to sleep that night. That was a bad thing, because the next day was Monday.
( I think that by now Dark would have gotten more than just one detentions.. Worry not, there will be more.)
