[1.10] Detention

Their friends stared at them. Before bursting into laughter.

"Detention?" Blaise howled. "Oh Salazar, this is too good to be true!"

Theodore was hunched over from laughter, trying to catch his breathe as he wheezed. "I can't believe Medea's the first of us to get in trouble. Medea! Of all people!"

"Shut up!" Yhe girl whispered furiously. Her entire face with dark with rage. "It's all Draco's fault!"

The boy was equally as irritated as Medea. His blonde eyebrows were scrunched up together, a very unpleasant expression on his face. "I can't believe that stupid professor! Detention! With the Gryffindors!"

The group crowed with laughter once more.

"The Slytherins are going to turn on me for this." Medea groaned. "I set forth rules; I literally warned them about what would happen if a Slytherin were to get in trouble and damage our reputation - only to turn around and get us all in trouble."

"You'll be fine." Blaise dismissed. "Didn't you say McGonagall caught Potter and his friends shortly after? They'll be more happy about the fact that the Gryffindors got caught to think much of you and Draco."

"Still, I-pfft," Theo was desperately holding back snickers, but Medea's icy glare made it clear that he was failing. "Medea! In detention!"

The group continued to cackle, and Medea grumbled under her breath.

"You'll pay for this, cousin."

Fortunately, Blaise was right. After the school found out about Potter and his friends losing Gryffindor 150 points in the course of one night, the Slytherin snakes could care less about Medea and Draco's late night excursion, which had only cost them 30 points. In fact, they thanked the two, thinking that it was because the two snakes had broke curfew that Potter and the Gryffindors got caught, resulting in Gryffindor's lost. Technically they weren't wrong, and Medea and Draco took no action to damper those rumors.

Unfortunately, the two did still have to serve detention. Medea was glaring at Draco the whole way there, since it was his idiotic plan that had gotten them caught.

"Oh, come off it." The boy groaned. "You can't stay mad at me about this forever, Medi."

"Watch me." the girl replied, scowling.

"It's not my fault we got caught!" Draco protested.

"Oh, I beg to differ-"

"Will the two of you shut it already?" Argus Filch, the nasty, short-tempered Hogwarts caretaker, was responsible for watching over the pair while they waited for the Gryffindor trio to arrive.

"Shut it yourself, you damned rat!" Draco snapped. "How dare you speak to us with such disrespect? My father will hear about this-"

"Draco," Medea groaned. "shut up."

The two cousins bickered, up until the three Gryffindors showed up. Ronald Weasley had been in the hospital wing during the incident, so he hadn't gotten caught, but unfortunately it appeared Neville Longbottom had. He, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter descended the steps, all three of them looking glum.

"Finally." Filch muttered. "Did the lot of you collectively decide to stop by the loo on the way? A snail could've arrived quicker."

"Gryffindors." Draco shook his head. "No sense of punctuality."

Medea gave him the biggest look of disbelief. "There's no way in hell that you of all people get to complain about punctuality."

"Just because I was late to breakfast one time-"
