As she was instructed, Imogen was in a dimly lit classroom, it was after tea, and she was halfway through her detention. Marlene and Mary found it quite funny the girl had gotten a detention, while Lily just wanted to shout at Sirius and James.

In the classroom sat two other students, a few desks in between the three to space them out. The blonde-haired teacher, Professor Aguis, sat at the front, though the old lady looked like she had fallen asleep. Professor Aguis, although strict, stuck with the basic methods of detention ❨ there was no going in to the forbidden forest! ❩ so the three students worked on an assigned essay for their punishment. The classroom was cold, it wasn't like the Arithmancy classroom, there were only two small windows, and they were very high up. Imogen's leg bounced each second she sat there, she tapped her quill ❨ the same one Juju had used ❩ against the parchment, unlike the other two students, she hadn't even written a word!

On Imogen's left sat Regulus, Sirius' 'perfect' younger brother. The raven-haired boy sat miserably in his seat, he had filled half his page with precise, curly writing—it reminded Imogen of her mother's writing and the letters her parents sent. Find a pure blood and marry them. Imogen wanted to speak to Regulus, he was in a similar situation. Maybe he had already found his match and just snapped—it would make sense, usually the boy's behaviour was perfect.

Two rows in front of Imogen sat Aubrey Cox, she was a very rebellious Hufflepuff—known for snapping and being aggressive to teachers ❨ Imogen swore Slughorn was scared of the girl in class! ❩ Imogen had heard that this time Aubrey had earned her spot in detention by flipping off her astronomy teacher. Aubrey leant back in her chair, her arms crossed and eyes closed—she was sleeping, although she was distanced far from Imogen, the Seagrave girl could just catch sight of a whole page of writing. Aubrey had finished and was patiently waiting for the second hour to be finished.

Imogen sighed as she glanced at Regulus once again. The boy didn't look up at all, his eyes were focused on finishing the essay, and his lips were pressed into a thin line. Out of everyone, Imogen did not expect to end up in detention with Regulus Black—she was more shocked Sirius and James weren't there with the amount of pranks they pull in one week. Regulus and Imogen had crossed paths a few times, especially when Sirius still considered Regulus his brother. Though their interactions were minimal, Imogen expected at least a greeting when she first entered the classroom. Imogen took one last deep breath before breaking the silence, "Oi! What'd you do to get in here?" She whispered to him.
