        We were walking through the corridor and I returned after helping out Hagrid. I was walking through, as an owl screeched. I hurried up as I heard Minerva.
        "Wandering around in the middle of the night, how dare you –"she scolded Malfoy."Preposterous.!"she exclaimed huffing away. Good luck dragon, who've messed up with Minerva. Now only Salazar and Merlin combined can save you from her.
        "You don’t understand, Professor, Harry Potter’s coming – he’s got a dragon!"he said as he whined and complained."And Granger, Ronald Weasley and Katherine Potter were with him too."he said. How dare that bully menace of a dragon complain against me to Minerva. That oaf of a Slythein...................Ugh..................
        "Nonsense."chided Minerva as she scowled at him."They are busy in their dorms, and as for Katherine, she only went with Headmaster Dumbledore as well as my permission to help out Hagrid."she said. Take that you git ."What utter rubbish! How dare you tell such lies! Come on – I 
shall see Professor Snape about you, Malfoy!"she scolded him further, when I came."Are you done helping out Hagrid, Katherine?"she asked in a motherly way.
        "Yeah, you need any help?"I asked. That was when I heard my brother's, Hermione's and Ron's voices in the corridor.Thanks to our animagus hearing Minerva and I heard it all.
        "Hagrid always wanted a dragon. He told me so the first time I ever met him. "we heard Harry say.
        "It's crazy! And worse, Malfoy knows. "said Ronald's voice.
        "I don't understand. Is that bad?"said Hermione as they came to sight, as Minerva glared at them, and Malfoy looked like summer holidays had arrived early. All gloating in his oh so royal glory. Ron turned as he noticed us and opened his mouth to reply to Hermione's question.
        "It is bad."he said, as Minerva opened her mouth.
        "Good evening."she greeted my three friends sarcastically.She ushered us in, as I followed her. I always do to keep her rising temper in check.As soon as they were in she began to shout at them.
        " NOTHING, I REPEAT NOTHING, GIVES A STUDENT THE RIGHT TO  WALK ABOUT  THE SCHOOL AT NIGHT UNLESS GRANTED PERMISSION BY THE HEADMASTER AND HEAD OF THEIR HOUSE.THEREFORE, AS PUNISHMENT FOR YOUR ACTIONS, FIFTY POINTS  WILL BE TAKEN."she shouted at them. Please don't open your mouths now, I pleaded internally. But when does my brother, not open his mouth.        
        "Fifty!"said Harry almost shouting, which worsened Minerva's temper, as I touched her hand softly, sending her into a calm wave, absorbing some temper of her.
        "That will do Katherine."she said softly, as she growled back like a wild cat, back at the four."Each. And to ensure it doesn't happen again, all four of you will receive detention."I noted Malfoy nodding until he reasoned the statement, making his smile disappear.He looked shocked. He spoke up for himself, and am sure to slither out of the situation. Like a typical pureblood Slytherin.
         "Excuse me, Professor. Perhaps I heard you wrong. I thought you said, 'the four of us."he said."It should be five."he said. Minerva smiled at this. I can even imagine him mentally saying wait till my father hears about this inside his head.I smirked at the thought of it, as he eyed me smirking off.
        "No, you heard me correctly, Mr. Malfoy. You see, honorable as your intentions were, you, too, were out of bed after hours. You will join you classmates in detention. "she said in a calm don't you dare mess further with me than what you already have tone with him, as my brother and friends listened to her carefully."As for Katherine,she had my permission as well as Professor Dumbledore's to go and help out Hagrid. So she shall not be punished. She did everything, by pertaining to the rules and regulations of the school."I smiled as I looked at Malfoy, pressing my lips to suppress an almost escaping giggle.

        I sat up all night, as I calculated the house points comparing it with the other houses. 150 points had been lost by Gryfindor. It meant that now Gryfindor was in the last place, in the house ranking. Am sure, Minerva must be feeling ashamed of her own house, going through a major dilemma of how to face the other teachers, especially Severus, who would gloat with pride to no end on seeing our ranking, the first thing in the morning. My thoughts and fears, came into action the very next morning. I was walking in my uniforms through the corridor, as my eyes landed along with the other students on the four giant house glasses. All the house mates thought it was a mistake, that was until the major news spread through the school - there three favourite house students, Hermione Jean Granger, the intelligent one, Ronald Billius Weasley, the glutton, and Harry James Potter, my twin brother cum the Boy Who Lived, had lost them 150 points along with landing up in detention. 
        As for my brother, Hermione and Ron, well, from their status changed from the most popular and admired students, to the hated ones.Even the Ravenclaws and  Hufflepuff turned on them, since they hoped to defeat Slytherins, either by themselves or though us.The Slytherins on the other hand, clapped, cheered and whistled at them, as they passed by, thanking them and oweing their house status to them. They would only shut up, when I passed by or gave them my killer glare.Even quidditch had lost its fun, as no one would speak to Harry, and even he had resorted to resigning from the team.Harry was now, only addressed as The Seeker. Hermione also stopped answering in class and drawing attention to herself.
        Next day, was Friday, the day of their detention. Minerva had told me, that Albus and she would like me to assist Hagrid in the Forbidden Forest, regarding healing some creature. And she even told me not to tell those four that they had detention with Hagrid and me. Yippee, I'll be with my brother and friends. Then I frowned as well, remembering that menacing dragon would be there too. Yippee............ not.  I went to breakfast and sat, as Hedwig came in with a letter. More of a detention letter if you ask me. I saw Malfoy's owl drop him a letter too.In the letter was written......
