Jack sniggered as Raiden started spouting nonsense "Professor, I think Raiden, is not himself right now" he kept his face straight

"Detention!" Alessia said... she was only helping him with his homework! And now the boy was being offensive. "You will receive detention! You! She said to the hufflepuff behind Raiden, I suggest you help this child to the nurse!" And she stormed off.

No! Not again! Detention? But... he...

"Oh merlin," Raiden said between his fingers as he leaned against the wall, pinpricks beginning at the back of his eyes. No... no... no crying. Crying was bad. Not here! "I can't..."

Sploosh. There they went. Big tears squeezing out of his eyes and rolling down his face. Pleadingly he looked at Jack. He was... sniggering?! But... why...

"You..." he whispered, face paling slightly. "Did you-" He felt rude words burning up his throat, attempting escape, and clamped his hand down more firmly over his mouth. "Mrifnhdkinaidm!"

Why had it had to be a professor?!

Jack stared at the teacher "Please. professor" then she was gone, Jack turned to Raiden and eyed him "You'll be fine," he nodded "I think" he added.

Willie was yet again lost through this maze called a school. He hated getting lost. And reading a map was just out of the question. Reading was just out of the question!

Seeing two kids probably his age, Willie raised his hand and gave them a wave. "OIIII!"

Fine?! Fine?! He was blurting out rude things to professors and landing in detention again. FINE?! Raiden sniffled at stared at Jack in amazement. As much as he had just gotten Raiden in trouble... he couldn't bring himself to hate the kid. Mischievous was one of the characteristics of youth, right?

But still... detention...

Seeing two kids probably his age, Willie raised his hand and gave them a wave. "OIIII!"

That loud 'OIIII' sounded kind of familiar. Raiden turned his head slightly, hand still clamped over his lips, words ramming against his teeth to escape. It was... it was that kid from Diagon Alley. The one who had run into him and then freaked out over his bloodied lip.

"noooooo" Raiden moaned through his fingers. "Noooo."

Not another person to say cruel things to! Merlin's armpit, what was he going to do?!

Jack shook his head "No, not me" he blinked innocently

Jack smiled "Willieeeee" he waved

Jack smiled at Raiden "Detention is not that bad" Jack nodded "Keep your comments to yourself"

Picking up his pants as if they were skirts, Willie rushed towards the boys with a warm smile on his lips. And a warm smile on the little boy's face usually ment that he was in an odd mood. Once he was between the boys, he smiled at Jack and then looked at Raiden. The boy looked fam--OH! He was the bleeding boy. "Oiii, I remembe' youuu!" He pointed at his nose. "Yer the boy whothe mouth wath bleedin' lotth."

And then, out of nowhere, Willie grabbed the boy's lip and tried to look for some scar of some sort. "It'th a good thing ye dun have no scarth, mate."

"Then who, you bilge rat? I thought Professor Lupa, that baboonface, attacked me with some spell that would hit me from behind or something, but..." Raiden twitched and locked his fingers down again...

And then, out of nowhere, Willie grabbed the boy's lip and tried to look for some scar of some sort. "It'th a good thing ye dun have no scarth, mate."

...only to have them pulled away once again by the little boy with the lisp. Letting out a horrified sob, Raiden attempted to put his hand back where it needed to be, but he was too late.

"You little scumsucker," he said, choking on the words. "Merlin!"

He tried to pull away from the younger boy's grip on his lip. He had to stop the cruelty!

Willie stared at the boy and dropped his hands which quickly formed into fists. "Whatchuuu thay, boy?!" He snapped, lifting up a fist and grabbing onto his collar. The boy was a bit taller than he was, but that wouldn't stop him from giving him a good smack! "Thay dat again, and I'll give ye a good thmack I will!"

As soon as the kid had let go of Raiden, he clamped a hand over his mouth and muffled the words that were trying to escape. He shook his head at the boy and looked around vainly for a way to explain what was going on.

Paper! Paper! He might be able to write out what was going on... He held up one finger, a gesture indicating that the boy should not, under any circumstances, hit him until he'd explained, and rummaged in his bag for a bit of parchment.

'Curse! It's a curse. I don't know who did it but I think it's a curse!'

He scribbled the words out messily and thrust the paper at the boy, looking around again to see if there was anything that could help stop him from saying mean things again.

Willie letting go of the boy, grabbed the paper and stared down at it. It took him some time to read the whole thing, but he when he finished, he looked up at the boy and titled his head. "A curthe, eh? Ye a mummy or thumthin, mate? Curtheth ain't real! What an idiot!"

Jack smirked at Willie

Jack laughed as Raiden spat out rude words

Jack laughed "Don't Willie"

Jack laughed as Raiden started to panic, this was awesome!

Jack snorted at Willie "They are, it's the reason I always get into trouble" he sighed

Raiden shook with exasperation. Why was Jack laughing at him? Nothing about this was funny in any way. Was he really doomed to get detention every term? It seemed it... he'd gotten it last term, and now he'd landed himself one this term. But this wasn't his fault this time! He hadn't wanted to say mean things to people. Not at all! He didn't like rude words, they made people unhappy, and unhappy people made Raiden sad. He sat heavily on the floor, wrapping one arm around his knees and putting his forehead on them, all the while keeping his other hand clamped over his offensive mouth. He couldn't tell Willie (whose name he had finally learned when Jack had called it out) that curses were indeed real without saying something cruel, and as much as he wasn't afraid of the boy hitting him, he didn't want to get the kid in trouble simply because he'd lost control of his words. It wasn't Willie's fault, after all. Why should he get in trouble too, for hitting Raiden after Raiden had said some mean things?

This was not a good day.

This was just getting weirder and weirder. Jack over there was laughing like a baboon and this boy was now on the floor, arm wrapped around his knees and his forehead on them. This was so depressing, he could feel it in the air. With a twitch in his left eye and another in the left corner of his mouth, Willie looked down at the boy and waited. He merely waited.

Nothing. Not one word.

With a deep sigh, Willie decided to believe this lie of his. He just needed to go to his dorm room, right? Right! With a beam on his lips, the small boy grabbed the back coller of the boy and started to drag him across the corridor. Even if he was small, Willie was very strong.

"We're gunna take ye ter the clothetht profethor, mate. Tell 'im how crath--I mean, tell 'im 'bout dith curthe of yerth."

Raiden looked up at Willie suspiciously. Nearest professor? That... would probably be okay... maybe... He nodded and tried to stand up. His hand was still clamped tightly over his lips. He looked at Jack, feeling slightly upset. Had he seen who had cursed him?

"ltgnu." He refused to remove his hand from his mouth long enough to say anything at all.

Jack glanced at Raiden "I'm just laughing at the insults, they're the best I've heard" Jack smiled

Jack gasped as Willie dragged Raiden across the entrance hall

The corner of Jack's lip twitched as Raiden wondered if Jack had seen who'd cursed him, Jack narrowed his eyes and watched Willie drag him off.

Willie didn't allow the small kid to stand up, but instead he continued to drag him down the hall and towards the Great Hall where there must be a professor or two there. "Well, itgnu ter ye tooo, mate." He smiled, pulling harder and getting closer to the great hall.

Lyra pranced towards the hourglass and looked up. Her eyes glared at the NOW negative points that Hufflepuff had. They were doing so good, she actually cared about wanting to help the Huffies win...at least something. Who in the world could have lost so many points? She really didn't care at this poing and now, if anyone or anything made her mad, she was NOT holding back. This meant war!

Amanda walked down the hall and noticed the hourglasses, she stood there in awe. That was something that was so beautiful to her, seeing Hufflepuff that low in the points, just because she was friends with Kayla and Lima didn't mean that she liked Hufflepuff. She had to take a picture of this for her records, she took out her camera that she got herself for Christmas and took a picture of the hourglasses with a smirk on her crimson lips.

She chuckled to herself at that, it was amazing news, just what she needed to top her day off.

*Gabben walked up and his mouth fell open.* "What the-?!"
*He looked around and saw Lyra.*
"What happened!?"
*He asked her as he walked over to stand by her.*

Being that she was a Gryffindor, Anna should be thrilled that Hufflepuff had just lost what appeared to be 5000 points. She wasn't, though. One look at Lyra Noir, and Anna was frowning. Her friend looked so downhearted and defeated...and for good reason. "Awww, Lyra. I'm sorry," she said, approaching her friend and giving her a tight hug. "DO you know what happened? I have a feeling it has something to do with the way the professors are currently acting. I mean...5000 points?!?! Would you believe there are two currently after Cale?"

Cale had heard a number of whispers through the school, and he decided that he had to see for himself if the rumors were, indeed, true. He hurried up to the hourglasses and took one look at them, immediately figuring out that something was wrong. Especially since there was a large group of people gathered around them.

He spotted Anna and Lyra a few feet away and hurried over to join them. "5000 points?" he asked in horror. Even though the Hufflepuff loss had just bumped his own house up to 2nd, he didn't care at the moment. "Is that...is that even allowed? And who did it?" he wondered aloud.

WHAT THE HECK!!! Ana was in shock. It's impossible.
Ana saw a Slytherin taking pictures Gosh i hate Slytherins and then 2 Gryffindors conforting a friend That is the way.. i love gryffindor she thought
What happened?!?!?! the hourglass is broken!!!!

Lyra turned to the snickering behind her to find a filthy giggling Slytherin laughing and taking pictures of the hourglasses. She was just about ready to...

"Gabben?" She tilted her head to the side then smiled...finally. "You mean it takes this..." -pointing to the now negative points- "...for you to come around?" She sighed and shook her head. "I don't know what happened but I have missed seeing you around."

She then felt arms around her neck and the voice of Banana in her ear. "Aww, thanks for CARING, Banana," she said with LOTS of emphasis on the word caring, but then she stopped and wondered just what Anna was speaking about. "Professors always act weird, Banana. It's in their genes. It's why they become...masters of education."

She couldn't help but snicker at the thought of Professors running after Cale. And speaking of Cale..."Cale what did you do to have Professor's run after you?"
