The next day, members of the disbanded DA watch as Filch hammers up the notice. Hermione storms away, causing some to follow her, including Camila.
"Oh, I expect she really fancies herself sitting up there in the Head's office. Hermione says viciously. Ron, Harry, Camila, Kate and Sophie were hot on her heels. "Lording it over all the other teachers, the stupid puffed-up, power-crazy old-"
"Now, do you really want to finish that sentence, Granger?" Draco Malfoy comes up from behind the group. "I'm afraid I'm going to have to dock a few points from Gryffindor."
"You can't take points away from fellow prefects, Malfoy." Ron snarls.
"I know prefects can't dock points from each other." Sneers Malfoy. "But members of the Inquisitorial Squad-"
"The what?" Hermione cuts him off sharply.
"A select group of students who are supportive of the Ministry of Magic, handpicked by Professor Umbridge. Anyway members of the Inquisitorial Squad do have power to dock points... So, Granger, I'll have five from you for being rude about our new headmistress... Weasley I'll take another five for you contradicting me... Five because I don't like you Potter, and five for you Goldstein because your top button isn't done."
Camila glares at Malfoy before buttoning her top button and tightening her tie. "You wouldn't be going around school like some kind of slut would you?" He snickers. "But I don't blame you, if I was a pretty girl like you, I'd wanna tease the boys around too." Draco scans Camila up and down.
Hermione takes a step forward with her wand by her side and a look of murder in her eyes. "Oh I'll take another five from you Granger for being a mudblood-"
Camila grabs her wand now and takes a step forward too. "I would shut the fuck up before I glue your tongue to Umbridge's ass."
Hermione reaches her hand out and forces Camila's arm down before putting her own wand away. "Don't, it's not worth it, Cam." Hermione says softly but firmly. Camila makes eye contact with the latte orbs looking back at her. This is the first time in nearly a week they were able to look at each other in a semi-loving way.
Not wanting to cause any more riffs with Hermione, Camila nods and pockets away her wand. "Smart move, Granger." Malfoy smirks. "New Head, new times... be good now Potty... Weasel." He looks back at the boys behind Hermione and Camila. The group watches Malfoy stroll away, laughing along with Crabbe and Goyle.
"So do Crabbe and Goyle like choose to just stand in the back all the time or are they incapable of forming words and speaking them?" Camila spits out.
"Mills, look." Ginny nudges Camila who turns around. Everyone watches as the hourglass for Gryffindor loses a handful of rubies.
"Noticed have you?" Fred says, walking down the marble staircase along with George.
"Malfoy just docked our house about fifty points!" Harry says furiously.
"We've decided we don't care about getting in trouble anymore." George smiles.
