The Headmistress was slowly trying to kill the young lion, she was pretty sure of it. First she gives her some kind of terrible detention that was much too late in the night for her liking and actually wanted her to clean then she told her she would have to return the broom herself! What if the Professor got all scary dictator like she had done then gave her some kind of ridiculous punishment as well??? The Professors weren't fair to her. Whatever happened to letting someone off with a warning? Warnings worked quite effectively and didn't involve her getting into any kind of trouble.

Okay....maybe he wouldn't be so bad. Maybe he was ten times more understanding than the Headmistress--who knew, he might even laugh about it. Ha! Yeah, he could laugh about it and they would both have a nice laugh and when they were done she'd leave before everything she would have to say to him had a chance to sink in too deep into his subconscious.

Brillant!

Taking a firmer hold on the broom she gave a timid knock. For a moment she thought about simply dropping the broom then running...he would never know and she would never have to get in trouble...but no...she was a lion and lions never ran from anything. With a heavy sigh she knocked a bit harder.
