Professor Truebridge was waiting bright and early for the entirety of Slytherin house to join him in the Duelling Arena. He'd arranged for the house elves to bring breakfast there... AFTER he'd talked to the students and decided whether further punishment was necessary.

He truly hoped it wouldn't be.

Patrick walked into the Duelling Arena the Slytherin's were suppose to meet in with a sleepy expression still plastered on his face. Why was he even in here? He had behaved himself pretty well so far. This was outrageous that younger children even dared to get him in trouble. Those were the times when you're suppose to shut your mouth and reply with a well educated answer.

He leaned against a wall with his arms crossed in front of him but rubbed his eyes and then ran a hand through his hair, which was already a mess. He waited for others to arrive. No doubt he'd be seeing his little Slytherin girl buddies.

Kevin wandered into the dueling arena and sighed he had behaved so far but it was all because of a few misbehaving students

Evelyn would have thought, that since she had never felt better in her entire life since after her summer, that she would have gotten some decent sleep. But, alas, not one wink. Not...one. Perhaps she dozed off for a few moments, but that even didn't last long.

And now to have to get up and go to a meeting because others weren't behaving themselves? Evelyn, was NOT in a good mood. But for some odd reason, that didn't keep the sleepy smile off of her face! Oh, nope. She needed that smile.

Taking a deep breathe to stop the yawn, and rubbing her sleepy hazel eyes, she finally made it to the dueling arena. Finally since it took her forever to get dressed. And to her surprise, there was only about two other people there, besides the Professor that is. At least she wasn't late. That was a plus.

This was stupid. Unnecessary. Shocking. Disappointing. This was a SHAME! And why summoning the ENTIRE house BEFORE breakfast?! It was those stupid, ickle firties that should be deprived of breakfast, not the sensible students! Glancing around, they weren't even here! It was sesible students again, who knew how to behave. Apparently, the firsties thought it was unnecessary to come here. When Evan saw them... They'd wish they didn't come here.

His stomach growling like a lion, he entered the duelling arena, looking extremely sleepless and unhappy. He couldn't sleep well because of thinking about... stuff, and he didn't want to be here. He shouldn't be here. And why no one he knew wasn't here yet?

Yaaaawn.

Ella wandered into the Duelling Arena, although the whole journey was filled with worries about getting lost. This was stupid anyway. Why did the whole house have to be punished because of a couple of idiots who thought they were all cool by getting detention? As soon as she got inside the room, she immediately noticed Patrick and wondered whether she should approach him.

Errmmm... Why not? "Hi Patty- I mean, Patrick." She said blandly as she stood next to him. Truthfully, she wasn't in the mood at all to be here. She looked around the room, waiting for this to be over already.

Selena walked into the Dueling Arena for the Slytherin Meeting, she wondered why she was there...

Marie was NOT happy about having to attend this meeting. She wasn't even sitting at their table when all the trouble broke out so why should she have to be there? It should be those bratty firsties and transfer students that should be here, not the ones that didn't cause the trouble. As she walked into the dueling arena she noticed only a few students had arrived. Recognizing one of them as Evelyn she went over to sit with her. "Hey Evelyn," she said as she sat down next to her.

Looking at the other students she seen Evan was one of them. They had sort of made peace last night but she was still a little nervous about talking to him so she just stayed there with Evelyn... waiting for this meeting to get started and get over with... which better be soon because she did not want to be stuck in this room all day.

"Goood morning~~~" Kenna tried to sing as she stumbled in... She HATED mornings, even if it wasn't super early. "So why are we here?" She yawned to Selena. Sitting down as she rubbed her eyes.

"Good Morning~" Selena smiled brightly, mornings were the best time for her... it was just shortly after noon that her energy level dropped till dinner time. "I think we're here because of someone causing trouble," Selena explained, "you look really tired..." Selena frowned, "do want a piece of chocolate?" Selena asked as she showed the girl a small tin of gourmet chocolates in her pocket.

Sighhhhh...

Aaron couldn't stand the fact that the entire house had to come to this because of a few bad Sytherins. They were the kind of people that gave Slytherins a bad name. he looked around for anyone he knew. He saw Evan, bu he wasn't going to talk to him. He waited for this thing to start so he could get out of there.

Having been waiting for just a moment or to, the Slytherin's eyes suddenly widened when a loud grumble came from her stomach. Eek! No one heard that!

She was right in predicting that she was going to be extremely hungry in the morning, considering the small amount of food she ate the day before. However, the Slytherin wasn't expecting her stomach to growl THAT loud. Yeesh.

Smiling as Marie came over, Evelyn gave a small nod to her friend before looking around. She definitely didn't want to upset the Professor anymore than needed and she wasn't certain if talking would do just that. But...it would be rude not to say at least a hello back. Erm... "Hello." Better late than never!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN

Oliver covered his mouth in an attempt to stifle a very wide and very audible yawn as he stumbled into duelling arena. Robes skewiff and his mop of unruly hair looking even more erratic than usual, he screwed up his face and squinted around at the people already in here – no Nancy. Not good.

Usually you would have breakfast down in the Great Hall to help you wake up for the day but not today, oh no, today they had to attend a meeting in the Duelling Arena. His stomach growled, clearly not happy about being neglected. And Oliver was clearly was not happy about having to be here.

Pout.

"Oh~" She perked up immediatey. "Mmm, chocolate..." She smiled and tried to talk as she was chewing a peice. "Trouble? Like what?" She chewed some more.

"Well, there were these girls shouting," Selena winced, "I don't gossip though... so I can't say anymore than that..." Selena immediately stopped. "How's the chocolate?" Selena smiled.

"Oh, thats not very nice... And that's a good habit, I try not to, but it dosn't work out to well." She smiled at the chocolate. "Very good, thank you."

Finally, after a long and over dramatic wrestling match with her cat, Destiny arrived at the duelling arena. She really had no idea why she, of all people, had to be there, but she wouldn't ask. As she walked in, she spotted Truebridgenheimer there already, and well, he looked angry..unless he was just hungry too. She really wanted to stop at the Great Hall before coming to this detention, but that little detour might have caused her to be late. Late to a detention was not something she wanted to experience.

Trying to cover her face, and not be spotted by the Professor, Destiny walked over to where Evelyn and Marie were and just stood there. She would not dare say anything, for she thought the grumbling noises from her stomach would somehow come out of her mouth. Ehh, being tired and hungry was definitely not a good combination. Especially if you happen to be named Destiny.

Lucky had some trouble keeping her eyes open as she dragged herself into the dueling area for that meeting. She hadn't gotten enough sleep last night, thus explaining the reason she kept yawning every 5 minutes or so.

This meeting wasn't making her a happy camper at all at the moment since she could be sleeping right now than standing in the dueling area, waiting for the meeting to start. Honestly, why did she have to be here? It wasn't like SHE had done anything wrong.

Yawning once more, she looked around the area at all the students. It was good to know that she wasn't the only one that looked tired.

"I had to, if I gossiped info would leak out to my mother, and my mother would spread to her friends, and it'll be all over," Selena sighed. "The chocolates were imported from somewhere fancy... I don't even know where... it was one of the 'I'm sorry, I can't make it, I made other plans' gifts my mother gave me along with some other junk," Selena shrugged.

"Oh." She said. "My Mothers kind of the same way, I guess. My Dad always had time for me, all the time, and my Mother, just doesn't really care. She was nice enough to let me live with her and the boys, after what happened. But we never talk."

Patrick glanced over at the curly dark hair girl who had came to stand next to him. His expression was one in disgust as she almost called him...well that horrid nickname. He would of had a serious fit if she decided to continue with her almost calling him that.

"Good morning Ella dear," he smirked at her, and then glanced around at those who had joined. He was totally unfamiliar with most people in this house. Which was technically sad since he was so old. He pointed his wand at his mouth and said a nonverbal incantation to make his breath minty and fresh. He blew his fresh minty breath in Ella's direction.

"My parents are rarely ever there... but I know they love me... so it's okay... though sometimes I just get really mad," Selena sighed, "they didn't even send me off when I was getting on the train. My mother was shopping in Milan, my father was at work, my step-father was working on another legal case," Selena explained. "It's nice that you get to see your parents often though," Selena smiled.

With a slight yawn, Raven entered the duelling arena and was not impressed with the fact that a couple younger students had cost the house to have this meeting; she would have had even more of a problem if was a 7th year who had forced her to get up early without much of a chance to dress properly. She scanned the room with her hazel eyes, noticing her fellow housemates and the fact that they had all looked tired but she thought that they also could have been as frustrated with the fact they were being punished for something that wasn't even their fault.

Santi sauntered to the dueling area in the morning, wide eyed, primly dressed, and ready for whatever Hogwarts had to throw at him. He'd always had been an early starter for he was blessed by only needing 7 or so hours of sleep allowing him to, instead of joining in the fray of the sleepy students, smile as they yawned back in distain at his wakefulness. The year had started out well so far, last night he'd already meet a variety of interesting people at the feast to start his network, and had a small hand in the end of the ordeal that had lead the Slytherins here this early. Overall, it had been interesting first day, just what he'd been looking for.

Walking over to one particularly frazzled student he jested, "Bit tired are we?" smiling at the student.

Rubbing his temples, visibly annoyed, Raiden stepped into the Duelling Arena.

And was met with the realisation that pretty much everyone in the room was talking. While Professor Truebridge was right there.

"This isn't chatting time," he said loudly, voice edged with irritation as he set his eyes on a few of the younger students. "It's probably for the best if everyone is quiet?"

After all, the last thing they needed was to lose even more points on the second day back. They already had people in detention, obviously this was not the way to start the term. Biting the corner of his lip, eyes looking for Nancy, he stood a few feet away from the edge of the small group of students.
