Detention II

(A/N here we go, get ready for fuuuunnnn)

Once again, the Wolves sat alone in detention, only this time, with Snape.

Knitter, Alyssa, Christina, Rachel, Hector, and Ginny all had to be at separate tables, cleaning cauldrons.

There were seven tables in the room, and another girl was at the last one.

Christina looked at Hector and they immediately started giggling for no apparent reason.

Then Hector looked at Alyssa, and Christina looked at Rachel, and then Rachel looked at Knitter, and when Knitter looked back at Alyssa, they all broke out in hysterics.

The girl looked at them like they were idiots.

Snape glanced up, and immideately, all faces went to stone.

He raised an eyebrow, and then went back to grading papers.

As soon as he looked away, they all busted uo again into silent laughter, their faces about to explode.

Again, the girl rolled an eye, only this time, Hector caught her and made a snotty face back at her.

She shook her head and went back to scrubbing.

"I'm going out. I'll be back in twently minutes. When I come back I better find everything exactly how it is, or else," Snape said, and then left the room, his arrogance still lingering.

"Aww, now he's gone I don't want to laugh anymore," said Alyssa.

"I know," Christina agreed, "It's only funny when you might get into trouble."

They all laughed.

"So how far have you gotten with your damn cauldron," asked Knitter, ticked because his wouldn't become clean, even when he cheated and got out his wand.

"Not very," replied Rachel, "Look at this! What the bloody hell was this guy making? Overcooked slime?"

"Ha ha, look at this- this guy was cooking a canary or something, there are feathers in here!"

A collective "Eeewww!"

Then they all laughed.

"Gah, will you all just shut up!"

Everyone turned to look at the back of the room at the seventh table where sat the girl.

She looked about seventh year, with long brown hair and brown eyes, she was really skinny, had freckles and seemed prepular-ish.

"Who's gunna make us?" said Christina, forgetting her cauldron and advancing toward her, rolling up her sleeves so her spike bracelets and wrist bands could be seen.

"Snape will, when I tell him you guys are talking," she threatened.

"Aww, she's gonna tell on us!" Knitter said.

And then in unison:

"How sweeeet!"

Getting angry, she exclaimed, "Do you have any idea who I am?"

"A pain in the-"

"I am Chloe Hines, Prefect for Ravenclaw, so you should watch yourself or I'll-"

"What," said Christina, "put us in detention?"

They all laughed at the irony.

Chloe let out an angry scream and was about to go off when Knitter made a point (gasp!).

"Wait, if you're a prefect, why are you in detention?"

"Gasp! Knitter made a point!" Alyssa said, making everyone gasp with her, then laugh afterwards.

"I," Chloe said with dignity, "actually just resigned my role."

"Aha! So you're not a prefect!"

Chloe, having cooled off, said, with her head down, "No. I am not. I hated all the rules. And the resposibility was too much."

She sat down, but kept talking, almost as if she forgot the Wolves were there.

"There was always just so much to do. Everyone expected so much of me. Come to think of it, my parents will probably be furious. 'You let us down, Chloe. Shame on you!' Yeah well, I hated my role as Prefect. To stay would have been murder. Detention, my first detention ever, was worth giving up all that."

Then, she snapped out of it, looking at all the wolves, who were watching her, their cauldrons forgotten:

"I'm sorry you guys. I must seem so obnoxious. I'm really not like this, just having to live up to the part my whole life. Truthfully, I only told you to shut up because I wished I was part of the joke. I wished I had friends like you guys are. Coming in, I just wanted to get it over with. Then you all were having so much fun. How can you have so much fun when you're in such a horrible place?"

"Actually," said Alyssa, getting used to Chloe, "It's not where you are, it's who you're with."

"And," said Rachel, "what you're doing-"

"-and what you look like doin it!" They all finished, then busted up laughing.

"See!" said Chloe, "That's what I'm talking about. You guys always know what the other is going to say and you always find something to laugh about, even when you're stuck in detention with Snape-"

"And what a pity, because you're all going to be here the rest of the week!"

Everyone froze.

Slowly, they turned and saw the greasy-haired bat himself standing in the doorway, looking not a bit pleased.

"Sandoval. I expected better of you. See me after detention."

Then they groaned and turned back to scrubbing their cauldrons, their hopes only slightly lower, and still giggling silently, only this time, they included Chloe and her head just about popped off from laughing.

Hours later, the wolves were free.

They decided to wait after for Hector to see what Snape had to say.

"I'll be back, guys."

Hector walked back into the dungeon and found Snape exactly where he was before.

"Mr. Sandoval, come here."

Hector walked to the front of Snape's desk.

"Mr. Sandoval, I am very disappointed to see you in detention this evening."

"I know, sir."

"I don't like to give my own students detention."

"I know, sir."

"And what's worse: you're here with these friends of yours! Tell you what. You dump your friends and no detention."

"You can't bribe me, sir. And, what's wrong with my friends?" asked Hector, getting angry.

'They are not in your house! They are pitful bravists who think they are good enough to be friends with you!"

Snape stood up as he yelled and hector almost snapped.

"And that girl of yours-"

"Don't talk about Christina!"

Snape became furious.

"She isn't your standards! She is a whore who only wants you for your social class and money!"

"SHUT UP!"

Just then, Hector ran out of the Dungeon, passing his friends and running to his dorm, leaving them in the dust.

"What do you think happened?" asked Alyssa.

"I don't know. Should I go after him?" Christina asked.

"I wouldn't. Give him some time. He'll tell us when he's ready."

Worried, Christina and the others walked off, heading to the Ravenclaw common room to drop off Chloe.
