Now Josh did not only think most Slytherins failed to understand him, they were also being deafened at certain times. To be exact at the times that skill would be most useful. Had not Lafay heard what Salander said? He deserved much more than that cauldron. And had not Evelyn heard it? She must have thrown something at the snake boy as well. Unless it did not please her, of course. And he tried his best to keep this idea out his mind, that it might have pleased her just because she had not reacted to it but to the Gryffindor asking why as if she wished to protect him. Josh was sure that she would react somehow if he told the whole class that he wanted to see her in a...anyway.

He looked around while walking in the dark stupid dungeon place and the first comment appeared in his mind that they surely needed to work on it harder to make this place scary. Meh. Slowly approaching that parchment thing, he carelessly scribbled the information on it.

Then he leaned against the cold dungeon wall and started to whistle that melody he had heard a couple of times during the summer time while Caroline was trying to convince him to be her boyfriend. Funny. This detention was funny too. In a sarcastic way though. He knew what he did was a mistake. But he could not control his anger and did not how he was supposed to do it. But Salander could refuse to say that. Since he did not, he really wanted it.

Sometime he was going to get out of here and show Salander how to be respectful to his friends' beloved.

"I am absolutely disgusted with you, Carter" Hecate said pushing her way past the boy to check the register... he was the first detentionee... "You lied to me. To me, Carter. Don't expect me to go easy on you. Duelling Dwelling. Now."

The Gryffindor boy immediately stopped whistling when he saw Mistress Lafay rushing in and making her way towards the parchment. As his eyes watched her wiith utmost interest, his expression turned into a dissappointed one when he heard what she had said.

Disgusted...

Lied...

''No, Professor'' he rejected quickly still carefully watching her ''Please, don't hate me. I did not do anything to disgust you. They made me do it. I know it was...not a nice thing to do in a class, especially in yours.'' on the other hand there were no cauldrons in other classes. '''But...'' another but as usual ''...i did not know what else to do at that moment'' then breathing heavily the Gryffindor looked down at the floor ''And i did not lie to you. I'd never lie to you anway. There's a good reason for that. Did not you see that i did not hit him. It was a cauldron and i just...''

Yet he could not complete his words aimed to explain and defend himself when Mistress Lafay's cold 'Now' echoed in the dungeon.

''Yes, professor'' the boy murmured obediently and walked out the room.

Oh yes, Rae was giddy, happy, joyful, whatever other good word you choose to use, she was. For she got to spend a WHOOLEEE detention with none other than Prof Chaud! Woot woot! She took a jump, hop, and a skip over to the table where she neatly wrote down the information needed

Then she placed the quill down looking expectantly for when she needed to go.

Jared did not feel too sure about this. Sure, she and her niffler had damaged his office, but perhaps he had been too hasty? He ought to have -

He paused.

Rae jumped, hopped, and then skipped over to the desk, and Jared stood there, one eyebrow raised. Merlin. He hadn't known students could be this ecstatic, at the thought of being in detention.

Maybe the thought of detention had made her hysterical?

....

He cleared his throat. "Hooligan Hole," he said.
