Chapter Seven: Detention Sentence
Lunch had gone by smoothly, the students were still gathered in their own personal groups scattered throughout the school yard as well as within the castle. Draco stood with his Slytherin trio, the four of them talking amongst themselves, the task had proven to be more difficult than the blonde had imagined. How was he going to come about doing what the Dark Lord asked of him? It was too perplex, the first task seemed like a fresh breeze compared to this one. There was no way he could think of to go through with it, the four Slytherin stood there in the dungeon near their common room so they could speak in private knowing that no one would be near to eaves drop.
“How about Granger?” was Goyle’s suggestion, having remembered that the girl had stood up for Malfoy when no others would, it could possibly work? Who knew?
“It’s a stretch” spoke Draco as he leaned against the wall “We do share a common room, she did defend me … but I’m not sure if it could work. It would prove to be extremely difficult. With the history she and I have had together.”
Draco glanced to Pansy who was beet red in the face, if it were possible; the male trio knew she’d have steam coming out of her ears “No! .. No No No! I will not have you getting close to that filthy mud blood just to please the dark lord I forbid it!” she spoke with a huff, her pug face swollen with anger. Draco could only sigh and sit there watching her while shaking his head, she was acting like such a child; her jealousy wasn’t pretty one bit.
The Slytherin trio sat against the wall their arms crossed over their chest just staring at the Slytherin female none of them wanted to speak yet all three of them were quite upset “How Dare you!” spoke up Draco with a glare “He is the Dark Lord, we took an oath to fulfill his wishes and here you are acting like a bloody child all because of you damned jealous needs! Parkinson you should be ashamed!” Pansy stood there her eyes upon Draco in shock; she didn’t know what to say. Though she was bothered by the entire situation, it was apparent by the glare she was giving the blond Slytherin, but she had no say in the matter. She was acting childish and was put on the spot for it.
“You’re right” she voiced behind gritted teeth as she turned and stormed off down the hallway.
Draco stood there, his eyes upon her watching her leave, soon they averted to the knuckle headed duo as he sighed “Well I have my target, now to move in for the kill… but how?” he had a lot of planning to do, is wasn’t going to be easy he could tell that right now.

As the day went on classes had finally finished and now dinner was set and ready in the Great Hall. As the young witches and wizards piled in sitting as their house tables it was quite noisy as usual, laughter filled the room and even echoed into the hallway. As the Great Hall filled up Hermione was amongst her friends and peers as she sat at the Gryffindor table, not being one who was normally punished she was dreading the evening of detention. Though she knew the Head Mistress would be lenient she was still beside herself with grief and worry about what would take place. A sigh escaped her lips as she poked at her food with a fork, the Gryffindor duo stared to the brunette with worry as they rarely saw her this way and it bothered them when they did.
“Don’t let it get to you Hermione. You were defending Dumbledore.” Spoke the tousle haired raven with a reassuring pat upon the shoulder.
Feeling his pat, Hermione sighed and strayed from his touch “Harry You don’t understand … I received detention for the month. For sure my parents will find out and it will not be pretty.”
“Well Gosh Hermione” chimed in Ron as he finished swallowing down a spoonful of mashed potatoes “You make it seem as if we’ve never broken the rules before.”
Hearing this her chestnut eyes narrowed into a glare as she averted her gaze to the redhead “This is our last year Ronald, I do not want to be mixed up in any ruckus that would cause me to lose focus on finishing up this school year with high passing marks.”
Slamming her fork down against the table she slowly lifted her gaze to the Slytherin Table where the duo sat with Pansy and to her surprise the blonde was nowhere in sight. This got her curious, was he going to skip out on his detention? ‘Typical of Him’ Hermione sat there staring at the Slytherin Table instantly the female became curious, where had he wandered off to? Glancing to her friends she smiled to them. “I’m going to go, relax a bit before my detention with McGonagall. I’ll see you two later” standing up from the table, her eyes glanced to the Slytherin table once more as she headed out of the great hall.
As she made her way out onto the first floor she glanced about the area “Where could he be?” came her voice in a whisper under her breath as she ventured up the stairs.
Making her way to the Head Mistresses’ office she stood before the large Feline Statue made of stone marble and looked about, there against the wall near by stood none other than Draco Malfoy, his cold silver eyes glanced to her as a sigh was emitted from his lips. Hermione quirked a brow, yet before she could open her mouth and speak the feline statue began to rotate in a counter clock wise motion revealing the door. Within moments the door flung open and there stood the Headmistress in her emerald robes, her pointed hat and her oval spectacles.
Staring to the two she stepped out of the way “come along, we have much to discuss” came her voice in a serious tone.
Draco pushed himself off the wall and headed on over, not speaking a word he was about to shove in front of Hermione but then remembered the task and stopped abruptly in his actions and held out his hand in a gesture as in ‘you first’. This shocked the Gryffindor as she glanced to the Slytherin. Had he just done what she thought he had? More than likely he was showing off his ‘politeness for the Headmistress she thought while making her way into the office. Draco waited then followed behind her. McGonagall head in behind the two of them and closed the door.
As she headed to the desk she sat down, her eyes falling upon the two as they sat in chairs across from her “Your little fiasco from last night was unacceptable, as I stated then you are to serve a month of detention.” Receiving nods of confirmation she sat back in her chair “Very well then. I’ve spoken with Professor Saloman; he has been in need of help picking the ingredients for the class room experiments. I wish for you two to aide in him collecting what he needs.”
Hearing what she had to say the two nodded but spoke not a word. Within moments the door opened and there stood the Professor from the States with his teaching robes on, with a smile he greeted her Hermione and simply did not even greet Draco. “Come” he spoke while turning. The two got up and followed behind him.
“What exactly are we getting Professor?” asked Hermione curiously.
Professor Saloman smiled to her “Just a few things on this list” he spoke while handing one to her and another to Draco. “I will give you a list every night before we head off.”
The two nodded and followed him while glancing down to the list the three of them heading out of the castle and to the forbidden forest.
