The next day, Charlie and Ann were in Professor McGonagall's room talking about what had happened. Along with Professor Dumbledore and Professor Valence. Charlie seemed to be in a pretty mellow mood, unlike Ann who seemed rather accomplished from her handy work she did on Charlie. Since she smiled when she saw the bandages on her neck. Which fumed Charlie up a bit, but she hid it pretty well. But then smiled when she saw Ann covered with red dots, she looked like she had chicken pox. Including the big black eye on the left side of her eye.

It all came down to Ann thinking that Charlie had cursed her when she shook her hand and shocked her. Charlie assured Professor McGonagall that it was a buzzer that was supposed to be a prank, a simple muggle prank item. Though she didn't have the device with her, since she gave it to someone else, they believed her. After all, how could a device like that cause a curse.

Charlie was hoping that they would ignore the talk about the dance but Professor Valence didn't seem to mind on bringing it up. While Ann scowled sitting on the chair.

"I'll admit to that! I danced with him. It wasn't one of my brightest idea but I didn't want to see him having a bad time."

"Yet, you deliberately knew he had a date!" Professor McGonagall replied in a sour tone.

"Yes." she said in confidence.

"And what do you have to say for all of this?" Professor McGonagall said in a strict tone.

"I don't know. What would you like me to say?" Charlie asked truthfully.

Then she heard Professor Valence scoff, making Charlie a little more flared up. "Do you want me to apologize for what I did? Dancing with a guy who already had a date? Who just happens to be my-" making her stop, she didn't know whether to call Cedric a friend or an acquaintance, "Friend?" she finished the sentence.

Ann had her turn to speak, Charlie tried to listen but all she heard was lies. In Charlie's head all she could hear was, "Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!" though she wouldn't let anyone know that.

"I know she was always jealous of me. I told her my Halloween date was Cedric she pretended as if she didn't care. But I knew she did!" she told the teachers in a fake tone. Charlie was quick to cough out loud on purpose, making Professor Valence raise his eyebrow, he wasn't approving Charlie's attitude.

"I'm pretty sure she poisoned me so she could have her chance with Cedric." adding on.

"Whoah, whoah, whoah! I was dancing with Faye, when you were puking in the bathroom and Cedric was waiting for you the whole time. Half-and-hour he waited for you, while I was dancing with my friends." she added in quickly with attitude but Professor Dumbledore quickly calmed her down, "Now how could you have known that he was waiting that long?" asking her. "Because Cedric told me! He said he's been sitting down, waiting for her to get out." answering him in a truthful tone. "What about the Doxies? Do you know anything about them?" Professor McGonagall asked her. "Now that! I don't know anything about." Charlie was quick to say, for a second she knew she gave herself away when she answered that fast, but remained calm.

After two hours of discussion, they came up with a verdict, Professor Dumbledore then stood up from his chair, "I think we can dismiss all of this. Ms. Gibbles, you had no right to attack Charlie for thinking that she cursed you. You of all people, who are the Head girl should know better. But your nerves got the best of you." telling Ann in a calm tone.

"Ms. Mendez," he turned his attention to Charlie, while she shifted in her chair, "It was very rude of you to pull that prank on Ms. Gibbles. Although you were trying to give everyone a good laugh and it was only intended for the light amusement, some people might take it more serious then you think." he finished as he sighed, "There's nothing more to say. Ms. Gibbles, you're excused. Ms. Mendez, you too, you're excused." Charlie nodded and stood up from her chair. Ann did the same, turning around to go out, she gave a smirk to Charlie when she looked at her neck. Charlie looked bored by her smirk. But she couldn't help but feel accomplished her self when she saw how bad the black eye looked. Ann left the room while Charlie followed from behind.

Professor Dumbledore waited until they left the room, he then turned his attention to Professor Valence. "I can see how she reminds you of Leah." he told her in a calm tone. Valence shifted around from his seat, he was uncomfortable with the subject. Professor Dumbledore sat down and continued, "Mike you know you can't be her father. She has a family-" Valence quickly cut him off as he stood up in disappointment, "You think I don't know that Albus? I know! I'm aware! It's just hard to look at her and not be reminded of-" he inhaled deeply as he tried to regain his composure, he was almost loosing it. Standing up he walked to the window as he gazed outside, "I kept a promise to her." he said quietly.

"What promise was that?" Professor Dumbledore asked.

"I'd keep an eye out if I ever came across her. I said I would, though I thought I would never see her."

"But you did."

"Yes. I did. And I wasn't expecting to see her here, being a witch, nonetheless."

"You had to have thought that she was a witch. Though her other boys are just muggles, you knew she had to have the gift."

"I knew she had it but I wasn't anticipating it. I wasn't expecting to see her here when I showed up. I wasn't thinking about it all! I didn't bother to think if she had gone to another school or if she had already graduated. None of this crossed my mind because, I wasn't thinking about Charlene."

"But you were thinking about Leah."

"Yeah. I was shocked when I saw her on the first day of class. I knew she was the spiting image of her mother but I could see a difference." Professor Valence stopped as he hung his head down, it was taking a toll on him and Dumbledore knew. "When I realized that it was her, I thought that none of this would effect me. I would have nothing to do with her but, as she started to talk to me more and more, I couldn't help myself. I had to protect her. I had to keep Leah's promise but, I know I can't do it anymore." telling him as he banged his head on the glass window gently.

A sudden silence from both of them, Dumbledore had to give him time to regain his sanity. "So, what are you going to do?" he asked him as he tried to come to conclusion. Valence raised his head up and looked at Dumbledore, "Be a teacher. Nothing more and nothing less." he said in a dry tone. It was as if he didn't want to be saying that, but he had to. "If you have to," Dumbledore slowly said, "keep your distance. Even if it means hurting her." he told him. It was harsh but it was true, he was in no position to do that to himself or to Charlie.

Resuming to class her mind started buzzing with thoughts; she knew that she didn't want to Cedric, not in the least bit. She was still embarrassed with what she had done. Inhaling deeply as she entered potions she kept her mind busy by concentrating on class. Sitting next to Faye, Faye asked what had happened, but Charlie shook her head, she didn't want to talk about it at this time. Though one thing was bothering her, "I need to talk to your boyfriend and his partner in crime." she told her before they fell silent to pay attention.
