Chapter 11-Detention

Matt threw the Quaffel to Carly, and she threw it past the Slytherin Keeper. Three quarters of the school cheered, and the Quaffel was thrown to Samantha who zoomed towards the opposing net and scored against Slytherin once more.

"Swift move. That makes fifty-ten Gryffindor." Lee told Alicia and Angelina.

"Thanks Lee. We cant really tell when they score or not." Angelina said.

"Who cares?" Fred asked over his shoulder. "All that matters is that the beaters kick some ass."

"Fred!" Alicia warned beneath her hat. Her hair was still as green as ever.

"Sorry, some 'butt'." Fred fixed for her. "But I mean, look at Corey and Wayne go!"

Alicia shrugged. "They're not very together, now are they?" She asked Angelina.

"I don't know, but bad news!" Angelina answered. "Right Lee?"

Lee nodded. "Angelina's right… Slytherin is catching up… they're beating Gryffindor, flat out." He said, leaning over the sidelines. "Seventy-fifty, eighty-fifty, ninety-fifty… aw crap. One hundred-fifty."

"Who's Captain?" Alicia asked.

Lee looked out onto the field. "Matt, one of the chasers… the only guy chaser on Gryffindor." He said.

George sat back. "So uh, doesn't that mean he's gone next year?"

Angelina raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"Yeah," Fred said, sitting in between George and Angelina, "he's a seventh year. He's out next year."

Alicia looked at Matt as he struggled to catch a Quaffel that was tossed far away from him. "So, who's taking over?" She asked.

Lee shrugged. "I suppose they choose a player from the team. That's going to be a problem though; a lot of those guys are leaving next year. The only people staying are Jennifer, Samantha and Oliver." He said.

"Jen's the seeker, Ollie's the keeper, and Sam's one of the chasers." Fred filled them in.

Alicia smiled. "Maybe I could try out next year then." She said.

"Me too!" Angelina said happily.

Fred and George laughed. "We will so be beaters." They said together.

Lee gave a nervous hiccup-laugh. "I'll stay on ground, thanks. I can cheer you guys on from the stands."

"Flying classes start soon. Madame Hooch will be able to watch our skills in class… see who should try out, maybe give us a recommendation." Fred said.

Alicia sighed. "I've never flown before." She said, a bit worried.

Angelina laughed and put a reassuring hand on Alicia's arm. "I have a couple times… dad always wanted me to be careful, so he never really let me go too fast. I know a lot of basics though." She said. "You'll do fine."

"Me and Fred used to steal Charlie and Bill's brooms and go out for a ride at night. I must say we're not too shabby." George said.

"Of course you two did. We wouldn't expect you not to steal a couple brooms and fly off doing some sort of stunt-show." Angelina said.

"What about you, Lee? Any flying skills in you?" Alicia asked.

Lee shook his head. "I went on a broom once… but I'd rather stay rooted on the ground, and that's the way it's going to be. No flying for me." He said.

There was a cheer from the opposite side of the stadium, and a large sigh from everyone else.

"Awww, crap." Fred said sadly.

"What is it?" Asked Angelina.

Lee sighed. "Gryffindor lost. Slytherin caught the snitch."

Angelina turned from Lee to look out on the field. "How did you-…?"

Lee laughed. "Always keep one eye on the game, Angelina." He said, winking.

……………………………

"Mrs. Spinnet, remove the hat." Snape spat.

Alicia gulped. "The hat-… sir?" She asked.

"Yes, remove your hat, now." He said again.

Alicia dropped her head in defeat. She felt Lee pat her back for a sense of comfort, and she smiled at him. Then, she grasped the edges of the hat and pulled it off. Down bounced her wavy and curly locks of green hair.

Snape allowed the Slytherin half of the class some time to laugh, while the remaining Griffindor's glared at the laughing Slytherin. Alicia even thought she saw Snape chuckle.

George stared at her green hair. He had to admit, she looked beautiful in anything, even lime-green hair, but now was not the time to debate if her hair would look better in a lighter shade of green or darker. He sat there and thought hard. Emotion got rid of the last colour on her face, so emotion had to get rid of the colour in her hair… right?

George grabbed his quill and poked the pointed end into her back. She jumped a bit, and he bit his lip, hoping it would work. He poked her back again with the quill, and she jumped again, her hair flashing a green-auburn. George smiled and jabbed the pen into her back with a pang of guilt, and yet again, her hair shone auburn for a very short while.

Alicia spun around in her seat and raised an eyebrow at George. "Yes?" She asked.

George shrugged. "Nothing." He answered. He smiled as he saw one of her locks turn auburn.

"Okay, well stop grinning like a mad-man and pay attention." She whispered. "You're going to get us in trouble."

What would make Alicia angrier, than getting a detention with Snape? What would make anyone angrier than getting a detention with Snape, for that matter? George smiled wickedly. He could do a good deed, and make Snape pissed off at the same time. He loved his job.

"Alicia." George whispered. "Ali-cia." He sang. "Aliiiii-cia." He sang again.

Alicia turned around and another one of her green curls went auburn. "What is it, George?" She asked, her teeth slightly gritted.

George smiled. "Just wanted to see your beautiful face, and might I say, it is looking b-e-a-utiful today." He said happily.

Alicia sighed and blew one of her auburn curls out of her face. "Oh, hey! My hair is changed back!" She said happily.

George noticed that her happiness was bringing the colour in her hair back. The stupid spell would go backwards if her whole head wasn't auburn and she got happy again.

"No it's not!" George said quickly.

Lee turned around. "What are you two doing?" He hissed. "You're being so loud… you're going to get in trouble."

Alicia stared at George and raised her eyebrow once more. "Yeah, it is. Are you colour-blind?" She said, completely ignoring Lee's statement.

George bit his lip and thought for a moment. "I wish I was." He said quickly. What is that? I wish I was? Are you seriously stupid? He asked himself.

"What?" Alicia asked.

"Yeah," George nodded, "So I wouldn't have to see the colour of that ugly hair. I turned it green because auburn is so- stupid." He said.

"Your hair is red." Alicia said. "Auburn is a red-brown. Looks like you just called your hair colour stupid."

George thought for a moment. That was true. How would he make her mad enough to get her hair to go back to where it was? "Oh yeah? Well uh, that's because I look good in anything." He looked up at her hair, and nothing happened. She seemed to be agreeing with him so far, he thought happily, or maybe him boasting wasn't making her mad. "And you- your hair doesn't suit you. It looks so bad… or maybe because your so damn ugly." He said quickly. He felt another pang of guilt. What was he saying? She was beautiful! Green hair or not… he didn't want to make her hate him but…

"What?" Alicia asked, looking hurt by what he was saying.

"Yeah, you… you…" He couldn't think of anything to call her. "Um… I put a tarantula in your chair." He said, looking at the dead spider in a jar for his potion ingredient. He smiled smugly. "It's crawling on your back."

"Awesome!" Lee turned in his seat. "Where?"

Alicia screamed and jumped out of the seat, her green curls flying.

"Joking." George said cheerfully and he put on a grin.

Alicia saw his Weasley grin and glared at him. "George Weasley, I'm going to-…"

"Meet you and Mr Jordan in detention?" A voice came from behind her.

Alicia waved a hand. "No, don't be stupid, Lee." She said.

George however, was staring behind her and biting his lip, slowly shaking his head. She got one detention; it was all she needed, not two.

"Mrs Spinnet!" Snape said dangerously, and Alicia spun around and guiltily looked up at him.

"I thought… I-… sorry, Snape… I mean Mr Snape. I mean, Professor Snape." Alicia fumbled through her words.

"You mean, detention tonight with Mr Jordan and- Weasley." Snape said with a sneer.

Alicia nodded and sat down, and Snape left. She turned in her seat and gave George a glare, and George smiled as he saw that there were only a couple locks of hair still green. The detention with Snape tonight would return her to a full head of lush auburn curls.

Alicia raised an eyebrow as George stared at her with a grin on. She rolled her eyes and turned back around in her seat, dreading the detention that would come after dinner. It was soon too… Potions was the last class of the day.

…………………………

Angelina and Fred made their way out of class together and began walking down to the entrance of the dungeons, where Lee, George, and Alicia were taking their class. They turned the corner and lazily made their way towards one of the staircases.

"So, what are you planning to do tonight?" Angelina asked.

Fred shrugged. "I guess I'll just sit around with Lee and George." He answered.

Angelina opened her mouth to say something, but was quickly interrupted.

"That wasn't funny George! Now I have a detention with Snape!" Alicia pushed past him and ran up to Angelina. "Do you know what he did?"

"Your hair is changing back." Angelina noted.

"Yeah," Alicia waved it off, "but he got me stuck with him and Lee in a stupid detention with Snape!"

"We heard." Angelina said.

Alicia turned to Fred to complain some more, when she saw he was staring at his brother with utter disbelief.

"You didn't get me one, either?" Fred asked.

George laughed. "Nope, sorry bro but you were off with Angelina." He winked.

Angelina rolled her eyes. "Ugh, boys." She sighed. "I'll see you around guys. Coming, Alicia?"

Alicia nodded and the two of them left down the hall.

…………………………

George was sitting down in the common room, comfortably reading a book for the herbology report that was due in a couple days. He flipped the page and scribbled down a note, when the book was snatched out of his hands.

"Hey…" He began. Then he looked up and saw an auburn haired girl with streaks of green. "Oh, hey."

Alicia gave him a short and forced smile, and then grabbed his arm, pulling him off the couch.

"We have to go to detention now. Lee and I were on our way when we realized you weren't there. He told me to come and get you, and I'm here, so move it." Alicia said icily.

George smiled. "Alicia, let me explain something…" He began.

"Explain nothing." She said shortly.

George opened his mouth to speak but her hand flew up and covered it. He closed his mouth and she withdrew her hand, wiping it on her robes.

"Explain nothing. Don't talk." She said shortly again.

George sighed. "I know you're angry that I got you a detention with Snape…" He began as they headed on their way toward the dungeons.

"I told you, I don't want to hear it." Alicia said. She was calm this time, and she gave George a look that asked him why he did it, but she didn't really want to know at the same time.

"It was all for good reason!" George said quickly. "Let me explain…"

"All for good reason? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, George!" Alicia said angrily, opening the door to the potions classroom and sliding into a seat.

"You're late." Snape sneered.

"Yes, sorry professor, but I had to go get George. It seemed he was too busy doing the awesome potions homework, he totally forgot about the detention." Alicia said, trying to make Snape feel good and let them off the hook.

"Oh yes, that potions homework." Snape said looking at George dangerously. "Reminds me I have to give you these back." He handed George a stack of papers and grumpily sat behind his desk.

George looked through the papers and shrugged; pushing them to the end of the desk he was sitting at.

Alicia, though still angry with George, also wanted to see what it was, so she leaned back like she was stretching and took a peek at the papers. They seemed to be homework and assignments with-…

"Perfect?" She said out loud.

George flipped the papers over on his desk and looked slightly embarrassed at them.

"Sadly." Snape said standing. "Now Mrs Spinnet, this is a detention. No talking." He said snappily.

Alicia nodded and looked straight ahead. How could George get better marks than her in potions? He wasn't very good in Transfiguration, or Herbology… that was all she could remember though. She didn't recall him being good in Potions.

Snape walked around the room for a while and then turned to George.

"Now Weasley, I need to speak with you after the detention." He said.

George raised an eyebrow. Since when did Snape need to talk to him? It must be something about the grades, he thought.

"Okay." He answered.

Snape sneered. "No talking."

George shrugged and looked at the back of Alicia's head, his eyes wandering over the bouncy curls in her hair. She must have not blow-dried her hair today; it was always so much curlier when she didn't.

Alicia frowned. What does Snape want to talk to George about? She moved her hand through her hair. It was slowly returning to its natural colour. She tried to brush her hair with her fingers, frowning at the mess of waves and curls that she was dejectedly born with.

Snape continued to walk around the classroom, almost like he was monitoring them: waiting for their next wrong move. She didn't even deserve to be here. It was all wretched George Weasley's fault.

Alicia sighed, the next thing I will know, I'll be locked up in that wizarding jail because of something George blamed me for. What am I? His safety net? She frowned. No in the way of hell will I ever bail him out. He's so-… what's the word? Childish? No… that's not the word I'm looking for, although it is true. No, he's a backstabber is what. Finally start being okay around him, and he goes and does this to me. She angrily thought.

George watched the back of Alicia's head more carefully. The wild green streaks of colour were now turning back to auburn…

She must be thinking of something that's making her angry, he thought as slight happiness ran through him, oh, when she figures out that she's here for a reason and that I helped her, she'll be so happy… she might even think differently about me. George stopped after the last thought, and if he were eating something, he probably would have choked. His own thoughts would some day kill him! What the hell was, 'think differently about me' supposed to mean? He thought it, yet, he wasn't exactly sure why…

"MISTER WEASLEY." Snape said a bit loudly.

George looked up from where he was sitting.

"I said, were you listening to me?" Snape asked.

George gulped. No. "Yes."

"What did I say?" Snape asked with a sneer breaking upon his lips.

Shit.

"Mr Weasley, answer the question." Snape said through a smile that was now showing many of his pointed teeth.

George coughed and slightly cleared his throat. "What I mean to say, Professor," he began in what seemed to be the best intelligent and fake voice he could muster at the moment, "was that I am listening, now."

Snape smiled wickedly. "Well now," he said in close to a whisper, "since you're so good at listening, you can hear that you have a detention with me tomorrow." He said.

George thought about it for a moment, and then nodded. "Tomorrow is Friday, so when would you like me to come?"

Snape sneered. "Thank you for pointing that out Mr Weasley," he said with a tone so wicked that George knew the answer was not going to please him at all, "since tomorrow is Friday you can stay late. I will dismiss you around two or three, don't tell your friends to wait up." He answered.

"TWO OR-…?" George began but then calmed himself. "That's a little late, don't you think?"

Snape shook his head. "It will set you straight. Now as I was saying as added punishment for your outbursts, the paper that was assigned for Mondays due date is now due for you three tomorrow. Is that clear?"

They all shook their heads and when Snape turned, Alicia shot him a glare. George noticed that this time, her hair had only one strand of green left, so he gave her a huge smile back. She raised an eyebrow and turned around in her seat, shaking her head.

Lee, who was being very quiet through the whole detention- for one fact of course, it was a 'detention' and usually students weren't permitted to talk- looked over at George and mouthed, 'what paper?'

George stifled a laugh and mouthed back, 'I'll tell you later'.

Lee took this as a good enough answer and nodded, turning in his seat and putting his chin in his hands, dreamily looking at the chalkboard that still had the last lessons potions ingredients on it.

Lee nodded his head as he looked at them. Three dead spiders, one pig snout, toe of rabbit, three cans of water, one skim-beetle wing (hard blue; for growth), pinch of pixie dust- I am so going to ace this potion, he thought. He continued reading, stir for five minutes, cut up onion and add three spoonfuls of it (one centimetre long and wide each), let boil for three minutes and add most important ingredient, essence of eel. Lee nodded and then looked back at the board. Essence of eel? I FORGOT TO ADD ESSENCE OF EEL! When did that get on the list, anyways? How could I have forgotten essence of eel? He groaned and put his face in his hands, rubbing his eyes. Since when did a growth potion need essence of eel? Potions wasn't his strong point… he was so much better in charms…

Snape, who was now sitting behind his desk and reading a book, closed it and stood up. "Detention is over," he said with almost a look of sadness on his face, and then he turned to George with hate and said, "Weasley, remember, I need to talk to you."

"Right." Said George, standing up and grabbing the papers on his desk.

Alicia pretended to need to tie her shoe and ducked behind a desk by the door, and Lee walked out giving her an odd look. He then shrugged and walked by an old suit of armour to wait for George.

Peering around the many legs of the desks and chairs, she was able to see Snape's black pants and old black shoes, and George's faded jeans and hand-me-down runners. She watched the two pairs of feet as Snape stood in place and George's feet slowly scuffed over by Snape.

"Sit." Alicia heard Snape's voice say.

"I prefer to stand, thanks." George replied.

There was an uneasy silence, in which Alicia guessed the pair took turns glaring at each other. Suddenly, there was a loud bang that made Alicia jump from her place on the floor. She got onto her stomach and crawled forward slightly, now able to see a bit of the scene.

Snape was sitting at the desk, his fist on the top of it, which Alicia assumed what the bang was. George was standing his ground in front of the desk, his jaw set.

"All right you little Weasel," Snape growled, "who did you look off of?"

George looked slightly affronted and then shook his head. "I don't know what you mean." He answered.

Snape let out a short and cold laugh. "Of course you don't. Just tell me and maybe I wont get you expelled. Hogwarts doesn't tolerate cheaters."

George got a slight smile on his face, like he was able to say something really witty back, but then shook it out of his mind and shrugged. "I didn't cheat." He answered in all truth. What he meant to say however, was, 'oh yeah? Then maybe Hogwarts should take the whole lot of Slytherin out of here.'

Snape shook his head and stood up, grabbing George's stack of papers and looking through them as he walked over to where Alicia was on the floor. Her breathing narrowed and she hoped against all hope he didn't see her.

"Impossible," Alicia heard Snape mutter, "I checked it again and again, and it's all… perfect." He threw the papers down on the desk and glared at George. "I know you're up to something Weasley."

George shook his head. "I'm up to nothing." He answered.

"How did you get these grades, Weasley?" Snape asked, his voice becoming louder.

"I worked on the potions. I know the stuff." He answered again.

Snape sneered. "That's a lie."

"It isn't." George fought back.

Snape walked quickly over to him, and Alicia shuddered. She could imagine what it would be like, Snape advancing on you, staring at you with those cold black eyes…

"Tell. Me. How. You. Got. Them." Snape derided, slowly through clenched teeth.

George set his jaw and said equally as slow and dangerous, "I. Got. Them. On. My. Own."

Snape couldn't take that as an answer however. His mind was set on the question of how a Weasley twin could pass his class? He couldn't fail him just because he was in Griffindor; though it's not to say he didn't try- it was just that his work was correct, complete, perfect down to the very last accusation.

Snape walked behind his desk and rested his hands on it, his greasy black hair swinging in his face and shining up his nose as it rubbed past it. "Tell me, boy."

"I did." George answered.

"Tell me."

"I did!"

"Tell me!"

"I already did!"

"TELL ME, NOW!"

The room was silent and Alicia shuddered as she watched the two share looks that could kill.

"Pick up your work." Snape said resentfully. "You can go."

George scowled and scooped up the work, as Alicia crawled for the door. She opened it softly and went through just as Snape called George back to remind him of the detention on Friday.

"Be there or McGonagol will hear of it." Snape said angrily.

Alicia closed the door and crawled on her hands and knees forward a bit, before standing up and wiping off her robes. Looking up, she saw Lee staring at her, his mouth open.

"What?" Alicia asked.

Lee bit his lip to suppress a laugh and she walked over and hit him in the arm, just as George came out of the classroom, shoving the papers into his bag.

"You two look comfortable." George said with a smile.

"Hey-…" Lee began.

Alicia ignored the comment and rounded on George. "What was that about?"

George laughed. "You tell me." He answered.

"What do you mean?" Alicia asked.

Lee was looking at both of them in confusion. "Did I miss something?"

"You would know." George said, as the two of them ignored Lee yet again. Lee hung his head in defeat and decided to listen to the developing conversation.

Alicia raised an eyebrow.

"Oh come off it," George said with a smile, "Snape may be blind, but as a Weasley twin I am specially trained to be in tune with all my surroundings."

Alicia blushed crimson. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"I think you do… tie your shoes my arse. I noticed when you didn't get up, that the conversation had become very intriguing to you." George said, acting like an interrogating detective at the scene of the crime.

Alicia sighed, knowing she couldn't get herself out of this one. George had seen her in the room. "Yeah, I guess I was interested is all… and then I realized you two had silences in between talking, so I wouldn't have been able to get out if I wanted to."

George laughed. "You're just lucky I saw you and distracted Snape so you could get out."

Alicia said nothing.

"Doesn't take anything for an answer, does he?" George asked to break the silence.

"Who?" Alicia asked.

"Snape." George answered. "I told him I did it by myself."

Alicia nodded. "And did you?"

He sighed. "Yes! Do I need it in writing?" He asked exasperated. "Look, I don't know why it's so hard to believe. They are simple potions that I require to make specific items for pranking. Such as that growing potion today; I could do it with my eyes closed… mind you, I'd probably miss the cauldron."

Alicia tried not to giggle.

"What is this about?" Asked Lee.

George shook his head. "Stupid grades. I don't know why Snape was all worked up about it. I think the detention tomorrow was just because I did okay in his class. He can't handle it."

Alicia smiled. "Well I think you deserve it." She said.

"Oh really?" George asked with a side grin.

Alicia nodded. "Yeah… after what you did to me. You made my hair green, and then apologized, and the next day, you proceed to grab me a detention with Snape and tell me there's a spider on me in potions!" She said with a pout.

George smiled and took out an old and cracked mirror from his bag, handing it to Alicia. "That's a lot to complain about for a girl with auburn hair."

Alicia grabbed the mirror and her mouth fell open as she looked at her curly auburn hair. She ran her hand through it and looked up at George. "When did you notice it was gone?"

"Well," George said as they reached the Gryffindor common room and walked through the portrait, "that's something I have to explain…"
