"a week in detention with mcgonagall." laura muttered, collapsing on the common room couch. "worth it."
marina shook her head and continued pacing. amelia and hayden just sighed and looked away.
it was after the ball. it had ended early, considering laura had almost committed murder. professor mcgonagall had marched her and charity straight up to her office, and dumbledor told everyone to get back to their dormitories.
"charity confessed, though. not like she had a choice." laura informed the girls. "what's going to happen? that is breaking so many rules." hayden asked. "charity is perfect in the professors eyes, so nothing much, probably." amelia mumbled.
marina had ran out of the great hall the moment laura stopped hitting charity, nobody bothering to see what was going on with her. she didn't even get a chance to hear what anyone had to say.
"marina, stop pacing, everything will be fine!" laura said. "everything will not be fine!" marina snapped, stomping her foot.
"charity just broke a bunch of rules and admitted to it because we put veritserum in her drink, i got mad at lupin for no reason, you're in trouble, felix is probably mad at me because i left the ball without saying anything to him, everything is not fine!" she exclaimed.
the three girls stayed quiet.
marina was about to go on about how everything wasn't okay, but the door to the common room slammed open and charity came storming in.
laura immediately stood up, looking ready for another fight as charity stopped at the group. she looked mad. madder than she had ever looked before.
"they took away my prefect badge!" she practically yelled. laura looked as though she was about to laugh, while marina just stared in bewilderment.
"is that all?" amelia asked. charity rolled her eyes. "they're sending a letter my my family, and i have a month of detention!" she said. with that, she turned on her heel and stormed up to the dormitory.
"not to be dramatic, but i want to die."

the next morning, marina decided that she wasn't going to go to classes. she told laura to tell her professors she wasn't feeling that well.
once everyone had left, she got up and rushed to her desk and began to write to her parents.
dear mum and dad, how is everything at home? i hope that miss ross's cats aren't bothering you both anymore. my school time hasn't been that pleasant. we had a masquerade ball, as you know (thank you for the dress), and it didn't end well. charity burbage used polyjuice potion, something that is against the rules, and turned into remus lupin, the guy i hated for a while then stopped. she basically said some awful things about me, leading me to hate him again. and, of course, james potter put bloody veritiserum in her drink. she confessed, so laura beat her up, and i left the ball. i didn't even say goodbye to my date, felix mclaggen! don't worry, we just went as friends. i am now sitting at my desk refusing to go to classes because of everything that happened last night, and i have no idea what to do. can you please, please, please, please pull me out for a week? say it's a family emergency or something! i just can't be here for another day! love, marina amybeth
p.s : please, please, please, please, bring me home!
marina put her quill down and quickly ran to the owlery, hoping that nobody saw her out of class, and sent the letter.
okay so you guys really love to bully marina, but put yourselves in her shoes. like, seriously. anyways, i'll probably upload another chapter tonight, but idk when you'll see me next. BUT THIS IS MY LAST WEEK OF CLASSES SO I'LL UPLOAD A LOT DURING MY BREAK
