Carly floated through her first day without incident, other then a few odd looks from a certain potions master during class. So when the time came for her detention,  Carly began to get nervous. She had skipped dinner to get a drink in before her detention,  but fell asleep. She stuffed a small bottle into her bag and made her way to tge classroom.The door was open when she arrived but the potions master was nowhere to be seen, so Carly took a seat at a nearby desk and waited. 6 pm turned to 630, and carly wondered if the potions master had forgotten.  How rude! 30 minutes late I could be sleeping right now! Carly crossed her arms, a smug expression resting on her face. I guess a drink wouldn't hurt while I'm waiting. She pulled out the bottle and put it to her lips, taking a deep gulp of her bourbon. Ahhhhhh burns so good. 630 turned to 7, and carly grew impatient waiting. As she stood to leave,  the alcohol hit her full force and she grabbed the desk for support.  Grabbing her bag, she made her way to the door and walked straight into the proffessor.
Welllll look who it is! How nice of you to join! Carly spat out, her words dripping with sarcasm.
Miss Elise,  if you remember correctly I told you detention was AFTER dinner. Have a seat,  you will be helping me grade papers as punishment. Snape pointed to a desk across from his own, watching her as she slightly wobbled on her way. Miss Elise are you ill? He took his seat at the desk and analyzed her,  his chin rested on his folded hands.  I'm feeling rather...out of sorts today carly said,  her eyes trained to the floor. Well there's a good way to ruin a perfectly good buzz Very well. You may grade this stack of papers and return to your dorm. He slid the stack her way and nothing more was said. Carly sped through her work, finishing in under 40 minutes and slid the papers back across the desk. May I go now? Her question was ignored, or unheard as she got no response,  so Carly sat back in her chair folding her arms across her chest and studied the man before her. His seemingly greasy hair hung in his face and his brown furrowed in concentration,  the end of his quill being ravaged by his mouth. He looks like a teenager taking an exam...how cute is that? Wait did I really just think that? He is in NO way cute carly get it together Carly scoffed out loud at her thoughts, grabbing the attention of the potions master. Leave he saod, harsher than necessary.  Carly grabbed her bag and headed for the door oh and Miss Elise? His voice stopped her in her tracks and turned back to face him as head of slytherin I demand a certain level of respect from my students.  Parading around half dressed in the middle of the night after being CLEARLY told that 10 pm is Curfew is unacceptable.  Be aware that any further trouble from you will lead to expulsion. Am I making myself clear ? The venom In his voice was enough to give carly goosebumps, although she masked it well with a look of indifference.  Crystal she responded, and turned to leave again. Oh and another thing miss elise, I do not take kindly to my students showing up intoxicated to detention or any where else for that matter. If this happens again there will be SEVERE consequences

Carly continued out the door,  saying nothing in return just making her way to her dorm where her bed was waiting.
Thank the Lord that's over
