The trio: James, Fawn and Willow, followed Hannah into the Hufflepuff common room.
"Can you believe what Max did to that blonde dude?" James said in a loud whisper.
"I've never seen him do that!" Fawn replied and glanced at Willow, who hugged herself tighter. "You alright?"
Willow shook her head. "He got a detention. What is he going to do? What are we going to do?"
Fawn wrapped an arm around Willow's shoulders. "I told Vi to tell him to meet us at the library. In the meantime, Hannah is going to tell us how to get into the kitchens."
Hannah jumped. "What? Fawn, you're not supposed to sneak out of the common room."
"Hannah, we're not in the common room yet." Said James. "Direct us to the kitchen and we'll find our way back to the common room."
Hannah sighed. "Oh, alright."

The trio crept into the kitchens and were approached by a weird creature.
"Does Miss Fawn want to mess around in the kitchen?"
Fawn grinned. "Of course."
"The other house elves don't like it when Dobby lets you. But Dobby will let you. As long as you make another drink for Winky. Winky needs another drink miss."
Fawn nodded. "Of course Dobby. One Positivity Smoothie coming RIGHT UP!"

James peered out into the halls of the castle. "Max said there are plenty of secret passageways. Are you sure there aren't any that lead to the common room?'
" Dobby doesn't know a way, sir. But when Dobby finds one, he will be sure to tell you, sir." Said the house elf.
James sighed and creeped out into the halls, Fawn and Willow following.
"Heh hem." Said a voice behind them. (I tried to write it. It doesn't seem right...) The trio slowly turned around.
"What are you three doing out of bed?"
"Well... We were getting a little 'pick me up' Professor..." Said Fawn slowly.
"And why do you need one?"
"For Willow..." Said James.
"Well. We can't have students wandering the castle out of bed now, can we. 20 points from Hufflepuff each and detention. First thing in the morning. Now. Off to bed. I expect you bright and early at exactly 8:00 tomorrow morning, before breakfast." Then the professor walked away.
"Who was that?" James asked.
"Professor Umbridge. Max warned you about her. The only one of you who hasn't had a detention is Ashley." Said Violet, who appeared beside them. "You better get to bed before you get into more trouble."
So the trio trudged to the common room and off to bed.
