He laughed. "I already told you everything that happened, but you refuse to believe that and instead mock my words. I have nothing more to say to you, and I certainly can't tell you when you are ever getting out of here. In fact, the way things are going, you may very well rot in here, so I hope you enjoy your new home!"

Antonio glanced over at John, he had done a fairly decent job on the foul bathroom. "Why don't you sit down and take a break for a minute? Your brother can just go over and clean all that sticky green gunk out of that bathtub, I'm sure you won't mind." He handed Jack a tarry toothbrush. "Now, don't be tempted to put it in your mouth! Unless I say so, that is."

"Why didn't you tell Jose how mean we were towards you?" he was sad now he had made the biggest mistake in the world and John was sure that the Professor wouldn't want anything to do with them, but worst of all him.

He turned to the Professor and thought about something, strong people never change their minds or was it week people never change their mind when they found out that they were wrong about something "I'm sorry Professor, if I had known I would have never done what I did" He was cry so hard now that his head was starting to hurt, but he didn't care "Will you forgive me?"

If the reason you were behaving the way you've been is because you were under the misconception that I persuaded your brother to leave and go off on some crazy mission to Holland or wherever he is, then I don't think we have any basis for disliking one another and that we can start anew as friends. Would you like to do that?" Antonio noticed that the boy was crying. "It's all right, we all make mistakes," he said softly. "Maybe next time you will learn to listen before you accuse someone and act the way you did. All you need to do is think and you'll be fine. Everything is all right, and we can certainly start over." He looked towards Jack, wondering what he would make of all of this. He wanted to release John from detention as soon as possible, but he couldn't do that just yet, not until he was really certain that both these boys had learned their lesson. He wouldn't be doing any favor to Hogwarts by setting them loose before they were ready. But he had been right about John, there was something there to work with. Was the same true of Jack?
