After Madame Pomfrey had healed Issac's cut till it was a tiny scar, she sent them off back into the hallway.

"Hey guys... I just realised- Charms is right here anyway," said Styx.

"Oh, for crying out loud," May murmured.

They walked in, all arguing about the debacle.

"Eh hem!" Cried Professor Flitwick. "Why are you so late to my lesson?"

"Sorry fam," said May, taking a seat. "Ise fell so we went to the hospital wing,"
"And all of you needed to go with him? Really? You're in fifth year now. The lot of you won't always be able to get away with these things! I'm sorry, but it'll have to be detention,"

"Nah!!" They cried.

CJ threw a balled up piece of paper at Isaac's head.
Isaac uncrumpled it, quietly as not to wake up Filch, who was talking their detention but was fast asleep in his chair.

               I'm bored of this

It read in the regulation ink they were supposed to use.

                     I'm bored of this
                      Why not write the essay?

Isaac wrote back, before handing it to May and pointing at CJ. They passed back and forth across the classroom until it looked like this:

     I'm bored of this
Why not write the essay?
Already done it a million times.                            
   I brought  one of my old ones. They don't read them.

      Hi hungry, I'm CJ
         Ha lol ! Me too tho
          This is almost like texting
          Hmmph
       Right enough is enough I'm going to get food.

  CJ stood up and crept away to get food from Gryffindor Common room. Thea flicked the parchment to Zodiac.

       I hope she gets tea.
It's unlikely that she'll come back with six or seven cups of tea, Thea
Ahhh! I can't believe we have to sit thru another hr of this!!!
Ik. It's miserable
I need the loo badly
Thanks for that May. Just go then
Cant be arsed
That's tragic af

CJ then returned with an armful of sweets leftover from the train, distributing them to the group. Quietly they unwrapped their sweets and ate them.

"I don't see the point of using this anymore," said CJ as the note was passed to her.

"Shh!" Said May.

"Oh, come on, he won't wake up. Look," CJ turned to the front desk. "Oi Filch, you're greasy as fuck,"

Filch merely stirred in his sleep.
"Ach, this is so boring," said May.
"Well, we kind of deserve it," said Viridisthea. "We were almost twenty minutes late. All down to poor judgement,"

Isaac nodded.
"Yeah, not sure our plans were as genius as we thought they were,"
"Oh, so punching each other wasn't a great plan? Really?," said Thea.
"Lol, it was funny though," said CJ.

"Yes, it was,"

CJ

"Where have you been?" Asked Talia as CJ walked into the Common room.
"Detention," she answered, flopping down on the sofa.

"'Cos they were twenty minutes late to Charms, I heard," said Sophex. "We leave left breakfast early because Charms is on the far side of the castle. That's what you lot should have done," she added.

"Thanks." Said CJ.

"Anyone up for a game of cards?" Asked Josh, slamming the pack down.

"Me," said Talia immediately.

"Dope,"said Josh. "Anyone else?"

"I'll play," said Ben from across the room from where he was working.

"Deal me in, please," said CJ, cracking her knuckles.
