Kurt, Blaine, and Loki were walking to their History of Magic class when an older Slytherin student bumped Blaine, pushing him into Kurt, and started walking away.

Loki was having none of that. "Hey!" he yelled. "What was that for?"

The other student stopped and turned around to face Loki, and said, "He's a mudblood."

Loki felt his anger rise. "That doesn't give you the right to treat him like that," he said coldly. "Now apologize."

"Or you'll do what?" sneered the bully.

Loki whipped out his wand and yelled "Flipendo!", and the bully flew through the air and hit the corridor wall. When he got back up, he pulled out his wand and started stalking over to Loki, a menacing expression on his face. "Bad idea, kid," he said. "Bad idea."

"What's going on here?" came a voice from around the corner, and moments later, Headmistress McGonagall entered the corridor. "Nolan, and you three- come with me to my office."

The four students followed McGonagall to a statue of a griffin. McGonagall paused in front of it and said, "Panthera uncia," and the griffin turned sideways to reveal a staircase growing out of the floor. McGonagall stepped onto it, followed by the bully, then Kurt, Blaine, and Loki.

When they reached the top, McGonagall walked into her office. She waved her wand and four chairs appeared in front of her desk, which the students sat down on. McGonagall sat down behind the desk, and looked over the students sternly, before asking, "What exactly just happened?"

There was a few seconds of silence before Loki spoke. "He pushed Blaine," he said, gesturing to the older student, "and when I asked him why, he said it was because Blaine was a...mudblood. I got angry and used a spell on him, and then you came."

"I see," said McGonagall slowly. "Well then, Mr. Nolan- you will have detention. I want you to clean the placards and paintings in the Hall of Heroes. I hope it will teach you a lesson about respecting others, regardless of their parentage. Mr. Laufey, even though it was for a good cause, you broke a school rule by using magic in the halls, so I'm going to dock your House 2 points. Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hummel, since neither of you really contributed to this mess, you will not receive any punishments. Now, off to class with you all, and tell your teachers where you were so they don't dock you unnecessary points."
