"nothing, i repeat, nothing gives a student the right to walk about the school at night. therefore, as punishment for your actions, fifty points will be taken from gryffindor, thirty for slytherin."

zemora's head remained bowed as she stood furthest away from draco which happened to be by harry's side. there were still stray tears falling silently down her cheeks from her argument with draco moments prior, yet her unruly curls hid her face perfectly.

"and to insure it doesn't happen again, all five of you will receive detention."

"excuse me, professor, perhaps i heard you wrong." draco was the first to break the silence as he took a slow stroll towards professor mcgonagall's desk. "i thought you said the five of us."

"no, you heard me correctly, mr malfoy." the woman quickly countered draco's words. "you see, as honorable as your intentions were, you too were out of bed after hours. you will join your classmates in detention."

zemora hesitantly glanced up to meet the gaze of the professor, mcgonagall's eye already upon her. the flicker in her features caused zemora to question what or who the woman found herself reminded of.

"a pity they let the old punishments die. was a time detention was hanging by your thumbs in the dungeon. god, i'll miss the screaming."

zemora's eyes rolled involuntarily as an expression of annoyance formed on her features in response to mr filch's words. she was giving draco the silent treatment which was why she once again found herself by harry's side.

"you'll be serving detention with hagrid tonight." mr filch informed the students as they reached hagrid's hut. "he's got a little job to do inside the dark forest."

zemora's arms were crossed over her chest as a dramatic sigh fell from her lips. draco turned to glance to her until the glare was sent his way. ron caught the moment between the cousins, the weasley tempted to laugh once reminded of his own siblings.

"good god, man, you're not still on about that bloody dragon, are ya?" mr filch questioned the sniffling half giant.

zemora felt the urge to slap the smug look upon draco's face, but refrained from doing so knowing nothing good would come from doing so.

"norbert's gone." hagrid spared draco a single look before glancing away from the students. "dumbledore sent him off to romania to live in a colony."
