INT. McGONAGALLS OFFICE - LATE AFTERNOON
The necklace lies green and glittering upon McGonagalls desk.
Professor McGonagall: You're sure Katie did not have this in her possession when she entered the Three Broomsticks
Leanne: It's like I said. She went to the loo and when she came back she had the package. She said it was important she deliver it
Professor McGonagall: Did she say to whom?
Leanne shakes her head.
"Of course she didn't." People sighed.
Professor McGonagall: All right, Leanne. You may go [As Leanne exits] When something happens, why is it always you three?
A few chuckle and others look at James, Sirius and Remus. Seeing the similarities.
Ron: Believe me, Professor, I've been asking myself the same question for six years
There's more laughter.
Theo and Blaise come running in.
Theo: We are their lawyers! They are guilty [Theo crosses his arms]
Blaise: [Smacks Theo's head] He means they are not guilty
Theo: Yeah that!
"Oh I love these two!" Alice laughed. Blaise and Theo bowed to her.
Professor McGonagall: [Sighing] Get out you two
Theo: Well we tried
"You tried very hard." Athena said sarcastically. "I know right!" Theo nods.
Just then, Snape appears at the door, eyes the trio.
Professor McGonagall: Severus
Snape: Is this it?
McGonagall nods. Snape takes his wand, lifts the necklace like a dead snake. Eyes it with fascination.
Professor McGonagall: What do you think?
Snape: I think Miss Bell is lucky to be alive
A few peoples breath hitches, understanding the seriousness of this situation.
Athena: She was cursed, wasn't she? I know Katie. Off the Quidditch pitch she wouldn't hurt a fly. If she was bringing that to someone, she wasn't doing it knowingly
Snape eyes Athena levelly.
Professor McGonagall: Yes. She was cursed
Athena: It was Malfoy
Professor McGonagall: That's a very serious accusation, Potter
Snape: Indeed. Your evidence?
Athena: I...just...know
Snape: You...just...know. Once again you astonish your gifts, Potter, gifts mere mortals could only dream of possessing. How grand it must be to be the Chosen One
Athena: How grand it must be to bully students and have more grease in your hair then on a burger
"OH SHIT!" Rodolphus laughed. The whole great hall laughed at Athena's remark. Snape glowered at Athena.
Professor McGonagall: Potter! I suggest you return to your dormitory. All of you
INT. DORMITORY - NIGHT
Athena, Ron and Neville lie awake in the darkened dormitory. Ron stares at the ceiling, Neville is reading a book on plants. Athena eyes 'Malfoy' on the Marauders Map.
"Stalker." Draco smirked. "Do I look like Pansy to you?" Athena raised an eyebrow, Draco paled, "please don't say her name. She still gives me nightmares."
Ron: What do you suppose Dean sees in her? Ginny?
Athena: You could ask, what she sees in him?
Ron: Dean? He's brilliant
Athena: You called him a slick guy not five hours ago
Ron: Yeah, well, he was running his hands all over my sister, wasn't he? Something snaps. You've got to hate him. You know, on principle
Athena: Im proud of her
