Azkaban!?! What were professors doing talking about Azkaban!?! Evelyn shuddered, at the same time as Wesley, just at the thought of what she'd heard about the place.

"What exactly happens during a Hogwarts detention?" There had been no detention at Evelyn's old 'school' and she'd never heard from her relatives about Hogwarts detentions. Her dad had put people on detention before. He made them write out a four pages of notes, just using one of his Muggle pens, no charmed quills. Or he just kept them in so they missed half their lunchtime. None of that sounded all that bad to Evelyn.

"If she did catch you eavesdropping, then I'll take the punishment as well. I was with you, I knew what you were doing and I didn't tell you to stop. And I kind of wanted to join in, too." Evelyn couldn't help but smile on that last sentence. Even though she could get a detention for this, she couldn't hide that she was having a little bit of fun, hiding out in the broom closet with Wesley.

Wesley thought about Evelyn's question. And found she had no clue. The idea fell down her throat and stomach with the discomfort of a swallowed-whole sweet. "I don't know," she whispered, "But, I bet it's absolutely awful."

Absolutely. Mind beginning to drift onto what 'awful' exactly meant, Wesley squeezed her eyes tight, trying to cut off her tangent of thought.

Listening to her friend talk, Wesley's eyes popped open. She reached out for Evelyn's hands but only grabbed a fist full of wet mop. "No! The 13-year-old said a tad bit loudly, "I mean- no Evelyn, you mustn't! We," the tiny girl began to sputter, " - us - the Hufflepuffs - we're going to win House Cup this term! I can feel it," she gripped the mop harder, "And detention means losing points - it has to. It'll be bad enough if I get caught, but if you do - we'll lose. For sure." And Wesley wanted that butterbeer SO BAD.
