Jonathan sat with his feet upon his desk, a copy of the Daily Prophet stuck up in front of his face. It appeared there were more and more arrests taking place through Britain, particularly in Diagon Alley and the like. It would obviously not be wise to stray too far from Hogwarts at this point in time. Although the ministry had their eye on him every second of the day, they certainly could not accuse him of his usual discrepancies if he was no where compromising...
There was a soft knock on the door. 'Get in here.' Jonathan said bluntly, still keeping the paper in front of his face.

Will came striding into the classroom, his usual bravado quite evaporated though, his nose was sore though thankfully fixed up and he was in no mood for this damned detention. The only good point was that Dax would be going through the same torture. Hearing that the professor was seemingly in a hurry, he entered without further ado, not waiting to be asked to take a seat, he took the nearest one available and settled himself down, expecting to only have to write some lame lines or some such waste of time detention. Twiddling his thumbs he greeted the professor cheerfully
"y'alright sir? Sorry bout messing up lunch, I'm right hungry still," he blabbed realising his tongue hadn't suffered from the fight. Grinning he awaited his boredom.

Dan walked into the room, pushing open the door and noticed that Will was already sitting in the class. With a grin he saw the professor sitting reading a new paper.
“Ah Will I’m glad you’re here. Now maybe we can talk about the reason why you are here. You do not shout across my class room teasing older students and pretending there is romance between you and Miss Hayes, when by the looks of things she hates your guts.”
Dan folded his arms and waited for the young Gryffindor to reply and try to defend himself.

Will hadn't realised he'd have two teachers at once launching a tirade of abuse at him, they would always blame him. Settling further into his seat as if to protect himself, he set about preparing his defences.
"Sir I really must protest most profusely, the older students should therefore know better and rise to me, or in fact sink to my level," he said with laughing, but cutting it abruptly as he saw they weren't amused.
"And another thing, I don't actually pretend there's romance, if there is then so be it," he coloured ever so slightly a this comment then continued "but if I do flirt then I'm sorry I really can't help it, I'm sure you know what it's like," he said thinking these were hopefully two blokes not entirely unlike himself, though they might try hard to hide the fact.

Girty stumbled into the class room looking around she had seen her brother enter the room just before her and was determined to get her wand back. Knocking on the door as she pushed it open. Looking around she saw only a few people in there. Giving a small wave at Will and Dan she found herself a table and sat down with a wide grin on her face.
“Hello all. What do you do in detention? I have never been to one. But now thanks to Dan that has been broken”
She looked over at her brother and poked out her tounge.

Jonathan peered lazily over the top of his paper, eyeing the other professor for a moment. 'Yeah... and you don't wreck the hall and have duels and... stuff...' He trailed off again as an interesting article about his favourite female singer appeared under his nose. 'And I don't care if he's your brother, you're in a detention and you call him sir, Miss Hubbles.'
Setting down the paper, Jonathan leaned forward on his desk and joined his hands together. Now... what shall we be doing this evening?' He eyed each of them, seemingly waiting for a suggestion...

Mouthing the words brother eh? That's useful info, and first name of Dan, nice. Listening to Starsmore who seemed thoroughly bored by the entire process, he read the headlines of
Diagon Alley home of Angry Arrests he wondered a moment about what that was about but upon hearing the question he pounced on his window of opportunity to satisfy his curiousity bt declaring
"just listening to your obviously dull life stories would drive us insane I'm sure," he said grinning from ear to ear.

Groaning as he reached the door Dax knew who was going to be in the room. With a feeble knock on the door Dax pushed it open with his bandaged up hand and gingerly walked in. Looking around he noticed Will sitting on one of the tables already trying to chat up anything that was in sight no matter there sex.
“Evening Professors, Girty” Dax nodded his head at both of them and walked past Will to sit in the corner of the room drumming his hands on the table.

Post by Loren Hayes on Feb 18, 2007 18:52:09 GMT
Loren strode in, her chin held high so that she did not have to look at anybody else in the room. In all her years at Hogwarts, Loren had never had a detention. She thoroughly blamed Will for most of her problems as of late, and choose to seat herself in the center of the room were she did not even look at Dax or Will. Professor Starsmore seemed more interested in in biting his nails then actually talking, and Professor Hubbles was simply whispering to his sister.
Taking out a batter book that was very thin, Loren prepared to read, this detention an already big enough humiliation without having to actually know she was there.

Will glared as Dax entered the room, he looked pretty upset, as he should have known and wasn't in the mood for talking neither, judging by his speedy run to the dark corner to dwell in his solitude, he probably had noticed the wink he had given him neither.
But then it got better as Loren marched in, determined to ignore him, this just got interesting he thought with a grin. Waving at Loren and gesturing for her to take a seat next to him, he wasn't surprised when she didn't, either she hadn't noticed which was nigh on impossible as he had wazed his arm like a loon; or more likely she was just plain ignoring him.
A plan had already formulated in his mind within moments. taking parchment from his bag he quickly scrawled a note which had the words
Hey lovely, wanna meet me after this?.
Magically flying it over he hoped the teachers would notice and snatch it out of the air.

As Dan looked up he saw Loren sitting down reading her book. With a smile he stood up and clapped his hands.
“Miss Hayes! What a pleasure it is for you to join us all. And you have brought a book, how thoughtful but not appropriate”
Dan walked over and snatched the book out of her hands. Giving it a quick glance he threw it in the direction of Starsmore and watched it skid to a halt on his desk. With a rather pleased smile he turned and looked around just in time to see a piece of paper fly across the room. Reaching out his hand he took hold of it, unfolded it and could not help put laugh.
“Hey lovely, wanna meet me after this? Hum… No thank you Mr Harris I have marking to do.”
With a sly grin Dan screwed up the paper and looked around the room noticing the pupils were spread out. Then the idea of how to make this detention more unbearable came to him.
“Come, come I want you all to sit boy, girl, boy, girl. So Girty sit at the end, then you Mr Harris, then Miss Hayes and then Mr Simmons.”

Will hadn't quite expected the Professor to be so sharp and witty but he laughed as the Professor showed his good side, he overcame his surprise quickly by answering back "Oh but I thought it'd be nice!" Hastening to obey the command though, especially because of who he would sit next to; he did so enjoy teasing them all. He dived for the seat wondering what the professor had in store for them.
"Lucky me I get the middle seat," he said with a chuckle, patting the seats either side of him and beckoning the girls. Oh he would enjoy this, and make them extremely uncomfortable, but he would have to be careful about this teacher as he was unusually quick, and though the rumours flying around had been rather hazy and not from the best sources; he somehow doubted he was Girty's Grandad, but a close relation nonetheless. Thinking it bet to concentrate his efforts on getting Dax and Loren together, as they were such a handful, he hastily shot a Dazzling smile towards Loren, making sure this time that she noticed and thoroughly expected a withering look in return.

'Hey!' Loren yelled indignantly as Professor Hubbles marched over and snatched the book from her hands. She scrambled out of her seat to get it back, but it was already flying across the room to land smoothly in front of Professor Starsmore. In her urgency she had fogotten than her feet were looped around the legs of the desk, and she toppled forward, disappearing over the front of the desk.
Growling childishly she sat up and glared at the professor. 'This isn't fair!' She squealed. 'I'm a Ravenclaw - I shouldn't be in detention!'
It was when that he proposed she sit between Will and Dax that she really felt like crying. Will was grinning brilliantly, but the look on Dax's face was less than encouraging. He looked positively broken. Muttering angrily under her breath, Loren staggered to her feet, brushing herself down with a nasty look at Professor Hubbles. 'Stupid detention... stupid Will... stupid Dax...' Loren grumbled as she parked herself in her designated seat, glowering at her knees.

Girty gave a small laugh at her brothers response to the letter and when they told them to sit girl, boy she could not help but let out a bark of a laugh. He was being evil, everyone in school new what had happened at lunch time and Dan was using it against the three.
When Will tapped the set next to him Girty rolled her eyes, she was going to have to put up with Will in close contact, across the room was hard enough. With a sigh Girty picked up her stuff and walked over the chair. As she sat down and gave a small smile to Will. However Girty looked straight past her and wanted to see what happened with Loren and Dax. Loren was already in a fowl mood this could get nasty and fun!

Dax almost burst into tears when Loren walked into the room. This was not what he needed. The one person he cared about most in his entire life and there she was ignoring him. When the Professor took the book from her he had to reframe himself from leaping onto the table and tackling the teacher to the ground, and then Loren feel over. Dax’s emotions all over the place, this was not what he needed.
'then Miss Hayes and then Mr Simmons'
His heart sunk. A few hours ago he would have given anything to have an excuse to sit next to Loren, to look into her warm eyes, see her smile and hear her laugh. But now…he is mostly likely going to feel the sting of her hand on his face once again. Not wanting to get on the bad side of the professor he grudgingly walked over toward the empty chair and sat next to Loren. He managed to muster a small smile before turning his head not even able to look at Loren.
