Prof. Umbridge: "My, My, name calling of the teacher. Tsk, tsk." You both know exactly what is coming.

Prof. Umbridge: "I will be seeing the two of you in detention tonight, Monday, and Tuesday. Now I suggest you get to work before I add more." She returns to her desk, you swear you can see delight in her eyes.

Fred: "Damnit. At least we have it together." He gives you a weak smile.

You whisper as quiet as humanly possible: "Yeah. Sorry about getting you detention. Damn, I hate that toad lady."

Fred smiles: "Me too, guess we should get to work. Just thank Merlin for this not being a double period!" At that you both get to work. The rest of the class is so dull you swear you are about to fall asleep, just like Fred. He actually looked like he was working, but that's just cause the quill was moving. It seemed like the hour was really five.

Prof. Umbridge, in her squeaky voice: "Ok class! See you...next class! Except for you Weasley and Perez, I will see you tonight, after dinner. Class dismissed!"

You: "THANK GOD!" You quickly get out of the room.

You: "I hate Big-As-A-Bridge; she's...she's...HORRIDE!"

Fred: "Calm down! It's just detention. Plus, it's with me, so it won't be that bad" He attempts to calm you.

You: "Yeah, I guess." You give him a faint smile.

Fred: "That's the spirit." Lee Jordan spots you two.

Lee: "Hey how was Umbridge?" Fred gives him a 'don't talk about her' look.

You: "Don't even ask..."

Lee: "Okay then. Um Fred, George wants you to meet him in the courtyard. Something's gone wrong..."

Fred's eyes get big: "Wha-?"

Lee cuts him off: "Just hurry up."

Fred: "Lexi I will catch you later."

You look curiously at him: "Whats a matter?"

Lee: "Nothing if Fred hurries up..."

You: "Okay, jeez, see you guys later."

Fred & Lee: "Bye." Lee takes Fred by the arm and drags him.

Why is everything so secret? Whats wrong with George...Well besides the obvious...

You laugh to yourself start walking.

What's my next class? You look at your schedule, Damn, Arithmacy!

Arithmetic wasn't your strong suit, ever. You hated it more than anything in the world, well almost anything.

Ron: "Hey Alexis!" You stop and turn around to see the red head walking your way.

You: "Hey Ron. What are you doing?"

Ron: "Just going to class. Have you seen Hermione around?"

You: "No I haven't, do you want me to give her a note or something?"

Ron shakes his head: "No, um, if you see her will you tell her I need to speak with her?"

You: "Of course!"

Ron: "Thanks Lexi. Well I have to find Harry, see you at lunch I guess?"

You: "Yeah." Ron walks the other way and you make your way to the class. You finally get to the class, and just stand there.

I wonder what the punishment for skipping is...Guess I'll find out.

You spin around quickly and slam into someone. The force throws you to the ground, scattering all of your belongings across the landing and down the stairs.

Why does this keep happening to me?

Boy: "Filthy little Gryffindor! Watch where you're going!" You look and see Malfoy on the ground, and his thugs trying to help him up.

Draco: "Don't touch me Goyle!" You start to gather some of your things, everyone just goes past you.

Draco kicks a book you are just about to pick up: "Next time, watch what you're doing, and stay out of my way." You look up and sneer at him. He just smirks and winks at you and continues on his way. You get up leaving your things sprawled on the ground.

You walk up to Malfoy and shove him: "Why are you always such a prat!" Some people start watching you and Draco. Draco turns around, a look of disbelief and then fury on his face.

Draco: "Don't touch me, you mud-blood lover!" Getting mad at you for knocking him over was one thing, but dissing on your friend? That was a whole other story.

Your eyes filled with rage: "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY, YOU TWIT!" You shove him as hard as you can, making him fall backwards.

Now, everyone on the stairway stops and watches, not sure what the outcome of the sure-to-be-brawl is going to be.

You: "DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT AGAIN!"

Draco gets up, clearly enraged: "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT, MUD-BLOOD LOVER?" You know he is just trying to set you off, and it works.

You get closer to him and

"CRACK"

you smack him right in the jaw. Everyone's eyes get huge in disbelief of what you just did. You back up a bit to see what his next move is.

Draco: "YOU BITCH! GET OVER HERE! I'LL SHOW YOU TO SLAP A MALFOY!" You're not sure what to do, Shit, I don't think I can take him! But, thankfully, Professor McGonagall comes up to the commotion. Everyone starts to disperse and head into their classes.

Prof. McGonagall: "What in the name of Merlin is going on here?"

Draco holds his jaw and points to you: "She punched me in the jaw!"

Prof. McGonagall looks at you: "Well?"

You look at her, then Draco, then her again: "Bu-but he kicked my book away from me and called me a "Filthy little Gryffindor'!

Prof. McGonagall: "Malfoy?"

Draco: "Only because she pushed me down!"

You: "I ran into you, you prat!"

Prof. McGonagall: "Alexis, language! Both of are coming with me to the Headmaster right now."

Just what I need, but I guess I get to skip class like I wanted.

Prof. McGonagall: "Draco, help Ms. Perez pick up her belongings. I will alert the Headmaster that you are coming. When everything is picked up come straight to his office, no goofing around." With that she marches down the staircase.

Draco: "Good job! We are both going to have detention now!"

You: "It's not my fault! If you weren't such an ass all the time maybe I wouldn't feel the need to kick your...ass." Draco sneers at you and you mutter a few bad names. After about twenty minutes just about everything had been picked up, obviously you both tried to stall.

Draco: "Here," He hands you your notebook, "Ready to go?"

You: "Let's just get this over with." The whole way down to Dumbledore's office is silent. Finally, you get in front of his office.

You: "So what, are we just supposed to wait here for him?"

Draco: "I don't bloody know!"

You mutter under your breath: "Prat."

Draco: "I heard that you-"

Dumbledore: "Sorry I kept you waiting." You see the Headmaster; he reminded you a lot of a picture of your great-great-some-large-number-great grandfather.

Dumbledore walks up to his staircase: "Sherbet Lemon," Then the staircase starts moving, "Come now, don't be shy." The three of you ride the stairs to the top and you see a highly polished oak door with a brass knocker in the shape of a griffin. Dumbledore opens it to reveal his office.

Wow, his office is...interesting.

His office is a large and beautiful circular room with windows. The walls covered with portraits of previous Headmasters and Headmistresses. His desk is an enormous, claw-footed affair, with papers cluttering it.

Dumbledore: "Well sit down." He conjured another chair, which you sit in, and sits in his high-backed Headmaster's chair.

Dumbledore: "Now I heard that there may have been some fighting," He looks at the both of you, "between the two of you?" Both of you nod.

Dumbledore: "Would you care to explain your story, Ms. Perez?" He nods toward you.

You: "Yes, sir. Well I was in front of my classroom, and I," You consider whether to lie and say you forgot your book, or tell him the truth, "decided that I didn't want to go to class and I turned around kind of quickly and ran into Draco. All my possessions were thrown across the stairway. And then he, "You point at Draco, "called me a Filthy little Gryffindor and kicked my book that I was about to grab! Well then after he called me some names I got tired of it and then well, well in the end I punched him." You look down at your feet.

Dumbledore: "I see, Draco do you agree with this story?" Draco nods.

Draco, telling the truth? That's a surprise.

Dumbledore: 'Well then, Mr. Malfoy it was not right for you to call Ms. Perez names. And Ms. Perez it wasn't exactly the kindest thing to punch Mr. Malfoy. So, I guess I most punish both of you. I think a night with Hagrid in the Forbidden Forest will do they trick. Mr. Malfoy you have indeed been in the Forest before have you not?" Draco nods.

Dumbledore: "Well then it will be no problem for you to keep Ms. Perez company tonight? I would advise you make your way back to your classes before you miss anymore teaching."

You & Draco: 'Thank you Professor." As you are about to leave you remember that you already have detention with Umbridge. You turn back and Draco looks at you, but then keeps going.

You: "Um, Professor Dumbledore, sir?"

Dumbledore: "Yes, Ms. Perez?"

You: "Well I already have detention with Umbridge tonight."

Dumbledore: "Ah yes, I have already moved your detention with her. Thank you for the concern."

You: "Thanks Professor." You go down the stairs. Well, it isn't that bad. The Forbidden Forest should be fun, right?

Draco: "So, do you want to skip the rest of class? I mean, that is what you were planning wasn't it?" You jump at his voice.

You: "Were you waiting for me?"

Draco: "No."

You: "Whatever, if you don't want to admit it then, No I don't want to skip." You begin to walk away from him.

Draco: "Fine, have fun in, what was it, Arithmacy?" You stop; I really don't want to go...

Draco: "That's what I though."

You turn around: "Don't think I'm doing this because you want me too! I just really don't want to go to Arithmacy!"

Draco: "Yeah, yeah." He grins and puts his arm around you.

You: "I can't believe you called me a mud-blood lover!"

Draco: "Well you are," You pull away from him but he pulls you back, "I can't believe you punched me in that jaw."

You: "Well maybe if you weren't so arrogant..."

Draco: "It's just my nature, you will get used to it."

You: "And what if I don't want to?"

Draco looks at you: "Who wouldn't want to?" You roll your eyes.

Cocky son of a bi-

Draco: "So what do you want to do for the last fifteen minutes of class?"

You: "You're asking me?"

Draco: "Yeah, good point. I'm taking you to my dorm."

You tilt your head and look at him: "And what are you planning on doing there?"

Draco smirks: "You'll see."

I'm not so sure this is a good idea...
