Ok people this chapter is short but things should calm down and level out a bit after this … I hope.

Allen I totally love your idea. I think that's something I can do. Sara Hawthorne agrees. 100 points to your house. What house are you

in anyway ? My guess Ravenclaw

XXXX

Gin and I had had just exited the ladies and made it over to a worried looking Harry and Ron when Harry Launched in." Abby I'm sorry about

yesterday. What's going on ? " " Yea ! " said Ron. " Who ever it is. We can fix'em ! " He said while punching his hand. I couldn't help but smile.

I finally had my friends back ,like it's supposed to be. " Was it Malfoy ? Please tell us it was Malfoy. " Ron asked, looking all to hopeful. "

Sorry to disappoint you Ron but no it wasn't." But I was cut off by Pansy Parkinson . " Oooh, is ickle Abby sad ? Poor baby, alert the

media." She said in a sickly sweet voice. " Shove off Parkinson." Said Ginny. " Shut your dirty mouth blood traitor ! I wasn't talking to you ! " I

quickly assessed the situation and I new the other's were as well. Pansy is a coward and her dueling skill's are decidedly average ! She's

wouldn't confront the four of us alone. Something was making her confident. It only took me a moment. The corridor was empty except for

about ten Slytherins. Parkinson, Crabbe, Goyle, Flint, Montague, Mcnair, Rookwood, Greengrass, and two other's I didn't recognize. Where was

everyone else ? My mind was racing to figure it out. Everything happened quickly after that. Pansy drew her wand. Harry reacting with the

reflexes of a seeker. " Protego !" Montage threw something blue. Ron dodged ! We all jumped to battle stance back to back. Everyone was

firing in quick succession , and blocking but the enemy was casting silently and it wasn't kid stuff. We were in deep and we were surrounded.

WHERE WAS EVERY ONE !

Pansy bent down and attempted to regain her wand and I stepped forward and kicked her in the Stomach. She was down for now, Greengrass

through something at me I blocked but barely, whatever it was rebounded on her. She was out. Rookwood took aim at Harry but missed, the spell

hit Ginny in the back. She was thrown forward with the force of the powerful blow.

Harry returned with a powerful " Bombarda ! " Rookwood was out.

" ENOUGH ! " Came the booming voice of the Head Master . Snape and Mcgonagall flanking him. We froze in position wands still at the ready,

but several of the Slytherins ran from there hiding places before they could be identified. The Head Master came forward taking in the scene in

front of him. There was no twinkle in his eyes .

" Professor's take your injured students to the hospital wing, meet us in my office when your done ! " The Order in his voice could not be missed.

" The rest of you follow me ! " He turned and began the long journey to his office.

XXXX

Professor Mcgonagall placed Ginny on a stretcher . Professor Snape did the same for Greengrass and Rookwood. It would appear that most of the

Slytherins had their escape in place before the attack and had gotten away. While I found it annoying I couldn't help be see how clever it was as

well. It was something to take note of for future reference. So it was only Harry, Ron and myself from our side of things and Pansy and Flint,

from their side, left to follow the Head Master. For an old man he moved very quickly and it wasn't long before we had made it to his office. He

took his seat behind his desk . While the rest of us stood and waited for the Professors to join us. The only sound in the room was the rhythmic

ticking and humming of all the strange instruments the Head Master collected. I used this time to think. I occurred to me that the Head Master

probably already has a good idea of what happened. Further more he probably doesn't want to punish us, but he will have to appear fair. So I need

to find a way to explain this so that he can let us go. When the professors joined us I was ready. The Head Master began. " Well would any of

you care to explain ? " I said nothing, I didn't want to appear to eager. I had finally learned from years of being called a know it all goodie toe

shoes not to volunteer to quickly. I was Head Girl they would ask me, and as if on que the Head Master turned to me and asked.

" Perhaps our Head Girl could shed some light on this for us ? " I made sure to picture what happened clearly in my mind as I spoke

knowing that the Head Master was a skilled Legilimens I began.

" I was upset this morning , I left the Great hall. Seeing that something was wrong

I was followed by Ginny, Harry and Ron. We were in the corridor minding our own business. When we were approached

by Parkinson. She seemed angry though I have no idea why.( Pansy huffed at that ) Ginny told Parkinson to leave us alone,

when she pulled her wand on us.

Harry disarmed her before she could attack us.

As Head Girl and Ron and Ginny as Perfects we tried to end it there, but before we knew what was

happening we were being attack from all side's for no apparent reason . ( Pansy was rolling her eyes and huffing )

Harry was simply caught in the middle. We tried to just defend our selves

but once we realized they were using dangerous spell's . We knew we had to try to end it before someone was seriously hurt.

So that is what you saw when you arrived. We were just trying to end it sir. We don't know what provoked them to attack us. "

There, I hope that was good enough. I thought.

He just listened while I spoke. I kept pushing the image of what happened to the front of my mind hoping he could see. He looking at me for

several more minutes after I had stopped speaking. The images in my mind seemed to be jumping around a bit certain images standing out like

the moment we realized we were surrounded and again when we realized they were using dangerous spells . The last was of Ginny being hit and

Harry returning fire." Thank you Miss Loyce that was MOST enlightening I am pleased to see that our trust in you was not misplaced. " He

smiled the twinkle was back in his eyes . " I think perhaps fifty points to Slytherin for yourself my dear, and fifty points each to Gryffindor for

Mr. Potter , Mr. Weasley, and Miss Weasley for team work and good leadership. "

" Thank you Head Master. " I smiled. I can't believe it. It worked !

Dumbledore was speaking again. " Miss Parkinson what do you have to say for your self ? " She didn't say anything she just stood there with her

arms crossed and glared. Seeing that she wasn't going to speak he turned to Marcus Flint. " Mr. Flint, This is your third attempt to complete your

seventh year. As an older student more is expected of you. This school is a haven for many and I can not have corridors filled with young students

turned into a war zone. I am afraid that I will have to ask you leave Hogwarts.

I will contact your father and explain what has happened here and why you were asked to leave.

You will be able to take your NEWT's at the Ministry if you still wish to obtain your diploma. Please collect your belonging's. "

Pansy and Marcus were trying to mask their shock. They couldn't believe he would actually expel a student.

The rest of us didn't bother to try to hide it. We were shocked. Dumbledore left the punishment

of the others to Professor Snape and we were dismissed to our classes.

XXXX

We quietly left the office and made our way back downstairs. We didn't speak we were still on alert incase there were any trouble makers lurking.

We made it outside when Ron couldn't hold it in any longer. " Did you see that ! Can you believe he got expelled ? " When Harry came back

with. " Did you see my take down of Rookwood ? I hope Gin's alright. " When I pointed out. " Well did ether of you notice that they were all

casting wordlessly ? Did you see what an advantage that was giving them ? I know that silent casting is a requirement for seventh year but I think

we really need to focus on mastering it as soon as possible . " I told them. Harry agreed but Ron whinged. " Why do you always have to be such a

wet broom can't you just enjoy the moment ? " " No Ronald I can't ! Because I also noticed that we need to work on our offensive spell work I

didn't recognize a lot of the thing's that they were throwing at us." I said in a clipped tone . Harry seemed to be thinking about this and finally he

said. " As much as I hate to say it she's right. I think we need to hit the library , come with a list of new spells .

" Not you to ! " Ron whinged.

" If we all split up and search it shouldn't be to bad. " He said and Ron grudgingly agreed.

We made it to Greenhouse five without further incident. Professor Sprout instructing us to take our places.

I found a spot next to Neville I noticed Lavender giving me a dirty look as I walked by. Neville instantly whispering. " What happened ? " I

answered him back. I'll tell you later. We listened to Professor Sprout for a few more minutes before the instructions were over. When Neville

spoke again. " The doors in the Great hall were sealed no one could get out. Dumbledore had to unseal them. We could hear fighting. " Well that

explained were everyone was I thought. Harry and Ron took aver explaining in great detail everything that had happened. You could have heard a

pin drop as everyone listened .I couldn't help but notice. Professor Sprout didn't shoosh us ether . She was pretending not to hear us not far away.

Draco Blaise and Millie were listening carefully as well they didn't look happy. I heard someone ask if we knew what Ginny was hit with and if

she was alright. Ron answered that we didn't know we would have to find out after class.

XXXX

Ok so this chapter is kind of short but this attack came out of no where. I knew Pansy was angry but who knew they would go this far.

Inside the school no less I AM SHOCKED ! … Hmm, Well I don't know what to tell you. Hopefully things will calm down now.
