26. The Big Blow Up

A couple of days after what happened at the Clock Tower, Fred and I were closer, but I guess not stronger. On Wednesday, George, Fred, Krista and I walked into the Defence of the Darks classroom, taking the remaining seats. Krista sat next to Angelina, Fred and George sat next to each other, leaving me to find my own seat.

I sighed as I looked round but saw a spare seat near the others. Someone else was in the other, so when I reached them, I asked, "Hey, is this seat taken?"

The person turned round and I smiled as it was Dorian. "Scy! Hey yeah of course." He moved his books and I thanked him, sliding into the seat.

"I never knew you were in this class." I stated.

Dorian shrugged and replied, "Yeah, I'm a quiet person. I'm friends with those Ravenclaw nerds here." He motioned to the two tables, one beside us and the on in front. The four people smiled and waved as Dorian introduced them to me, "The girl with the black hair and pale skin, Onyx Fontana. The girl beside her with the light red dreadlocks is Melissa Lace. The boy in front of them with the glasses, Alec Hale. Lastly, the boy with brown hair Connor Dale. Guys, this is Scylla Gryffindor."

The girl with the dreadlocks, Melissa, widened her eyes and exclaimed, "You're the famous Gryffindor!"

I chuckled and replied, "Yeah, was told that by Dorian."

"Did he ask you out also?" Onyx questioned with a smirk, then dodged the paper ball that Dorian threw at her.

"Yeah, but I have a boyfriend." I replied.

Onyx nodded and asked, "Who?"

I pointed at the Twins and replied, "Fred Weasley."

They nodded but Connor commented, "He don't look happy." I frowned and then looked at him, who was glaring at my direction and quickly turned to George to whisper something.

I didn't have time to find out as Professor Pink walked out of her office. "Welcome to your first lesson with me. Now, when one of these books reach you, turn to page 243. She said as she waved her wand, making the pile of books float and stop at each table to put books on our desks.

"Today's first lesson is how to wear a bad shade of pink." I whispered to Dorian, who chuckled.

Professor Pink caught me as she asked in her high pitch voice, "Care to share Miss...Gryffindor?"

I shook my head and replied, "No, just reading the book." I easily replied back with a lie.

She tutted and shot back, "I didn't say to read anything yet. Detention with me at lunch." I held back my sigh as I stiffly nodded, knowing I wasn't going to enjoy the lessons - at all.


An hour later and the lesson was finally over. I waved goodbye to the group of Ravenclaws I had just became friends with and met up with Krista and The Twins. "Who were they?" Krista asked.

"Dorian, the one I was sitting next to, I met him on the train. The other four he just introduced me to."

Krista nodded and replied, "They look like nice people."

I chuckled and said, "They are. Not rude, their kind of people that everyone should have as friends." Krista laughed.

"You and Dorian looked a bit too nice." Fred mumbled.

I looked at him and stopped walking. "What?"

George gulped and quickly said, "Well, we should get to class Krista, c'mon." The American girl nodded and both quickly left.

Fred put his hands in his pockets and said, "You two looked a bit close."

I scoffed and replied, "He's just a friend. Why are you being like this? Or have you forgotten all about the other night. I thought we trusted each other, I wouldn't go around with someone behind your back. But I see just how much you trust me." I snapped at him and walked away, leaving him far behind and ignoring his cries of calling my name.

Later that day, it soon came round to lunch and I walked to Professor Pink's office, knocking on a door and waiting. After a few minutes, I heard a faint "Come in" So I obeyed and opened the door, my eyes landing on the pink walls. Hanging on the pink walls, was little plates with moving cats that mowed quietly. "Take a seat." She said, motioning to a chair behind a school desk. I sat down and Professor Pink put some pieces of paper on my desk. "You will write 100 lines, saying, 'I will listen to orders'." I nodded and as I was about to grab my quill, when she stopped me, "No. I want you to use this special quill of mine."

She handed me a red quill and I saw what it was, a blood quill. I picked it up and started to write, soon after feeling a shooting pain in my left hand. I looked at it and saw the scar reading, 'I will listen to orders' coming up, looking red and bloody from the pain. Professor Pink noticed I had stopped and asked, "Everything okay?" I nodded and quickly continued to write, trying hard not to wince or show pain.


After the detention was over, I walked out of the classroom and gasped as I finally left the power of the pain. I walked to the common room, putting my bag in my room and as I headed down the stairs, I saw Fred come out of the boys section. "Scy, I'm sorry for earlier. I was stupid." I let him hug me and I returned the gesture,

"It's okay. I would do the same."

Fred smirked and then frowned as he saw my hand. "What happened?"

I quickly whipped my hand back and replied, "Its nothing, just the punishment from Professor Umbridge."

He sighed and looked at it. "You should tell Dumbledore. No student should be allowed to have this happened to them."

I nodded in agreement and replied, "I know, but she's a part of the Ministry Of Magic, it would be pointless."

Fred sighed, knowing that it was true. "How do you feel about...swapping seats with Angelina?" He asked.

I gave him a glare and ripped my injured hand from his grasp. "Seriously? I thought you said you were sorry, or do you still not have trust in me?"

"I do have trust in you! But I don't like the guy!"

"That's not your problem! I choose who I can be friends with, not my over protective boyfriend!"

"He asked you out! Who says that it won't happen again?"

"You know what?" I asked rhetorically, "I don't need this. We need a break from each other."

Fred's angry look turned into a sad on, breaking my heart. "Scy..." He mumbled, trying to take my hands.

I simply held them up and tried not to cry, "No. Just, don't." I choked out and then walked out the common room. I walked to the Great Hall and saw Ginny and Krista talking, who then saw me and smiled and waved but frowned as I let out a tear and sob. They ran to me and sat me down, demanding what happened and I explained everything. When I finished explaining, I looked at my hands and whispered out, "Did I do the right thing?"

Krista rubbed my back as she replied, "Yes. He should trust you and believe you. He can't choose your friends, that's wrong." I choked when I saw him walk in and asked, "Then why does it hurt so much?" Ginny sighed as I put my head in my hands, wondering if what I did was right.
