She told herself glaring at the fellow Second year.
"I told you what happened" She argued turning to face the Professor, why couldn't he take that as a statement, she did after all tell the truth! She glared at the Professor. She paushed for a moment. "Look at me! And Carin. She's covered in fur because of Louisa and im covered in food because of Carin." She delcared raising her voice a little.
And now he was adressing Skye, like she wasn't there. And soon after Louisa. What!? He was being kind! But-But. She stamped her foot slightly. All this was really annoying! She wanted to sleep. The food look she was wearing at the moment didn't suit her either. GAH!
"No.." She tried to argue, her angry swelling up, "I told you what happened, i should be able to go" She next said looking at the Professor. Well she should souldn't she? Yeah! But no the Professor was still asking for a expliation of the events. There seem to be no way out. Why did she bother. Sigh. Enya sat down on the bench before her and refused to speak. Preston's eyebrows shot up into his hairline. "No. You yelled and carried on and your story did not match up with the mess that's before us. You didn't explain why the scourgify that resulted in fur needed to be cast in the first place. That is not explaining what happened. THat is self-serving hysterics."
Watching her sit, he followed her with his eyes, levelly. "You do not get to decide when to go. You are able to go only when you have been dismissed." Quote:

Skye didn't want to get these people into trouble (especially Enya, whom she was slightly scared of) but her desire to set things right overpowered her. She struggled internally for a moment, trying to find her voice, then launched into the briefest explanation she could while still getting all of the key details.
"Well, Professor, it started when Louisa came over here. She and Enya apparently had some sort of argument before the start of term, and Enya was still angry. Then Carin-" Here she pointed at the fur-covered Carin, who had so far remained silent. "-came to the table. She told off Enya for behaving so rudely toward Louisa, so then the two of them started arguing. Carin knocked a glass of juice onto Enya's robes. That part was an accident, but Enya thought it was on purpose, so she..kind of upended a whole jug of juice on Carin...She and Carin got very angry at each other then. Carin cleaned up the juice spill with the Scourgify charm, but then she knocked a basket of crumpets at Enya. I think that part was intentional. When Louisa tried to clean up Carin, she said the spell wrong and...well..." Skye gestured towards Carin, trying to make the point that she was clearly covered in fur. "This is where this prefect tried to step in, and a few moments later you arrived, sir." That was enough, wasn't it? Skye felt as though that was a pretty good explanation.
Skye felt a twinge of disapproval when Enya asked to leave. She had been causing a lot of the trouble after all. But at the same time, Skye, too, wanted to just get away from all of it. She wasn't about to just ask, though. "Thank you," he said turning to the eldest once more. "I wish that, perhaps, you had come to get someone from the staff table for assistance before it got out of hand, but somethings these things happen quickly."
He nodded at her, before, then, turning to hear another account of the events. Quote:

But the professor knelt down before Louisa and whispered something. She almost backed away when he approached her, but his soft (still stern) features kept her rooted to her spot.
She took the wand back and her eyes were wet all of a sudden after he patted her shoulder. She didn't deserve to be treated nicely, not now that she got herself involved into such a mess like little girls would do. Even Danny stopped doing stupid deeds. Tears gathered in her eyes as she nodded to the teacher, "Okay. I'd never do spells before I learn how to do them. I promise." She said her voice was shaking and she could fall apart at any moment, crying out loud or something.
Skye interfered at last, not only talked about the mess but the whole story since Louisa joined them. Louisa listened to her and admired her courage of telling the truth so plainly and no fear of a friend. Books weren't always right then, she made a mental note in her head. Louisa's determination on not telling on Enya failed now and there was no good in staying silent. She decided to tell her share of the story.
"Sir, what Skye has said is correct. It was an accident first; that Carin poured the juice over Enya's lap. But Enya was so tired and I made her angry lately." The girl's face mirrored her sorry and she rambled on, "So she couldn't stand any more annoying people, she has a touchy mood." Yeah, the professor needed to know all about Louisa's analysis of her friends' attitudes. You want honesty from youngsters? That is honesty mixed with innocence. " But Carin didn't get this, so she kept on pushing Enya and threw some food at her. And…" She glanced at Enya sadly digesting her words, "Enya took revenge and poured juice on her. Her voice trailed off at the end.
And we reached when Louisa stepped in, "I thought I could help them to clean themselves up before throwing something else. And..umm.. I was wrong… obviously." She finished her head hanging in shame again.
What a relief! The story's been told whole and Louisa didn't betray Enya. Or so she thought. Louisa now was ready to face any punishment she deserved, she did act irresponsible. Her mother wouldn't be happy when she knew what happened. Her stepfather could make fun of her magic! She swallowed the lump and waited for the professor to talk. Too scared to hear him that she almost closed her ears with her fingers. But that was rude! She just closed her eyes and waited for the bomb to explode.
The sight of the tears welling in the young student's eyes softened Preston and he knelt down once again. "Sometimes," he began softly, "the best way to help is to go and get someone else. Does that make sense?" Trying to catch her eye, he looked up at her, as his kneeling had put him below eyelevel.
"Thank you for telling me what happened, too. You made a mistake, but it's not a horrible one. Ok?" Quote:

Cedric regarded their Transfiguration professor with pure respect, and replied, monotonously, as an explanation of the whole fuss: "Sir, I saw these bunch of kids throwing veggies---food amongst themselves and they even did try to perform magic which, unsurprisingly, they failed at doing." He cocked an eye at the girl with the gray fur, indicating her.
And that was all he had behold. Other than what he just explained, how certain things happened was unbeknown to him.
Be ready to yelled at, naughty first years. Standing, Preston turned to the Prefect, whose story seemed to lack detail... which was to be expected if he witnessed it from another table. "Thank you for intervening, Mister Leone. I do think I can manage, if you'd like to return to your classmates." Quote:
Originally Posted by Miss Evi3e <3 Enya was slouching on the bench of the table, ignoring the people around her. This was all boring to her, She'd told what happened, so she shouldn't have to stay! Right? Well she certianly thought so and she was tired of all these arguments. She just wanted to sleep. But knowing her, that was never going to happen. GAH! Enya placed her hands on the table - pushing away plates of food and cups full of pumpkin juice - and leant her head into them. Maybe she could get a quick nap without anyone knowing. Fingers crossed.
All of what people were saying to her was muffled while she had her head in her hands but she defently heard when Skye told the Professor what had happened. Enya jumped up and turned on the older girl - ignoring the prefect and Professor standing there. "Skye!" She cried glaring at the girl. "You ratted everyone out! How could you! Saving your self. How rude!" She said rudly at the girl. She was far to tired for all this. "And then you get it all wrong!" She next cried taking a step towards the girl.
While she stood there - ignoring everyone else - glaring at Skye she heard Louisa tell the Professor her turn of advents. It hurt her deeply for Louisa to tell all too, how she had trown some juice - which she did - but she could have stayed out of it. But at least she got it right. So i guess she's in the clear, she told herself. She continued to glare at Skye - not caring what would happen. "Out of all the times you could have spoken up to end the fight, you chose instead to get everyone in trouble by telling on us" She whispered angerly to Skye. God was she angry....and tired.
But then she heard the Prefect begin to speak. Damn were they in trouble now. She thought peeking at him before she looked back at Skye. She'd get back at that girl some day! But what surprised her was that the Prefect really didn't know what happened, he only came over to see...not knowing anything else. The thought made her smile. Maybe they could get out of this, if only Carin didn't speak up...and tell on her. Although the fact the girl hadn't spoken in ages troubled her. Enya peeked towards Carin. After a few seconds of looking at the other girl she looked back at Skye. Glare. She wondered what the Professor would do now. But then Miss Mayberry chimed in again. "ENOUGH!!" Preston bellowed as he swung around.
"Your attitude leaves much to be desired, Miss Mayberry, and I will not have it. It would have been far easier for you to have cooperated. Instead, you chose to first accuse, and then later to share an incomplete story that made yourself look completely innocent. And you have continued to yell and carry on. You will sit there and be quiet until I am ready to deal with you. Understood?"
Professor Kingsley loomed over her, eyes narrowed. He was hungry, for Merlin's sake, and in addition to being rude, this child was prolonging this encounter a great deal. Quote:
Originally Posted by Paintbrush "Actually, Skye's account is pretty accurate. The initial jug-drop was mostly an accident, that's why I cleaned it up - successfully, might I add," she added with a glance at Cedric. She was a true Ravvie, after all; her spells usually worked. the key word there being usually, though. "As for the rest, well... things just spiraled out of control. I don't usually lose my temper like this, but I couldn't help it with her behaving like she owned the place! I'm sorry for the trouble I caused and all, but there's no way I'll apologize for trying to teach her a lesson in good manners," Carin announced.
And she meant it, too - she really was sorry for making such a mess and getting everyone involved, but she could never sincerely apologize about infuriating Enya. That was just too sweet a sight to behold. Besides, at least she wasn't lying about the whole event to a teacher; she was well aware she was as much at fault as Enya was. And though Carin was a lot of (not necessarily flattering) things, she was certainly not a liar.
"As for you," she added, turning to Enya. "You, how can you get mad at Skye for being truthful? It's like you got mad at Louisa before - for no reason whatsoever! And you expect these people to like you? To be your friends? And as for stopping the fight - admit it, you'd probably try to have cursed Skye too had she tried, so it's better for her that she kept quiet now, isn't it?"
Carin stopped, breathing hard, suddenly realizing how shrill and loud her voice had gotten in her agitations. Ooops. Attracting even more attention was not something she had wanted to do, looking as she did in her current furry state. "Your honesty that your action was intentional is appreciated, though it was extremely poor judgment that will not go unpunished. In the future, if you are having difficulty with a student, bring it to one of the professors or to your prefects."
He was about to address them all when she continued, rather shrilly. "That is enough," he interjected. "It is not for you to dole out reprimands." -----
Clasping his hands behind his back, his expression was grim. "Miss Althiem and Miss Carter. It would have been much better if you had called this situation to someones attention before it got so out of hand. I hope you will exercise better judgment in the future."
He moved to consider the other two girls. "Miss Mayberry. Miss Hughes. Five points, each, will be taken for the mess and the disruption. Not only have you disrupted the feast for a number of people, the wanton waste of food is also inappropriate."
He paused. "Miss Hughes, you will see me in my office first thing tomorrow to further discuss this incident and how you can better respond in the future. And as for you, Miss Mayberry, your repeated insolence and disrespect has earned you a detention. You will report following the feast. No arguments."
Setting his jaw, he stood in front of them all. "You will all remain at the feast until dismissed by the Headmaster. I will take care of the fur and the mess, so there will be no need to leave early. I would also recommend that you separate yourselves."
Preston unholstered his wand, eying all the girls involved. "Let me take care of that fur, first," he said, giving his wand a deliberate point in the direction of the girl. It wouldn't do to have a furry girl at the feast! Satisfied with the spellwork, he turned to the mess on the table, and the mess on the people. With a few quick swishes, he had siphoned up the spilled juice and vanished the toppled food.
"Now get out of my site before I change my mind."
