Couldn't students behave? Couldn't they just get on? Couldn't they just live their life without feeling the need to turn it into some muggle soap opera? Clearly not. The year had only just started, and already there were people in the Hospital Wing with their face covered in boils. With so many stories flying around about what had happened, Hermione now knew who the culprit was. Christopher Weasley.

Just like his father, he obviously loved to prank people. Rumour had it that it had been more of a duel than a practical joke, but it still wasn't something Hermione wanted going on whilst she was Headmistress. After having sent an owl to him at breakfast, she now sat in her office, awaiting his arrival for his detention and explanation of what had happened. Of course, they had to have a chat about how family members were getting on too.

Chris stood outside the headmistresses office taking a deep breath in Here i go he thought bracing for a yelling at then having her ask how his family was, it was pretty good because it would distract her from his punishment but again Chris grew tired, just because the headmistress was like best friends with his family didnt mean he had to go threw every single member and tell her how they was, there were just too many weasleys.

Chris stretched his arm out and opend the door to the office and saw Hermione sitting there.. of course he couldnt call her 'Aunt Hermione' at school like he had when he was like four "You sent me an owl?" he said stepping into the room and standing in the doorway untill he got spoke to, he had been through this plenty of times usualy for practical jokes and with different teachers but it was pretty much the same thing.

"I did indeed." Hermione confirmed, standing from her seat and walking over to the door. Closing it, she pulled her wand from her robes and flicked it once, before the fireplace roared to life, the flames licking their way over the wood. Flicking it again, the jug on the coffee table was filled with fresh pumpkin juice and the bowl beside it with Every Flavour Beans.

"Do sit down Chris." She added, taking her own seat in an armchair by the hearth. Unsure as to whether or not she'd be able to sufficiently punish someone with so many family ties to herself. Filling a glass with pumpkin juice, she took a mouthful before setting the glass down on the table. She then plucked a bean from the bowl and popped it into her mouth. 'Apple, what a relief.'

[dan]

Chris stood there untill he was told to sit down which he did, he watched 'Aunt' Hermione carefully, he could tell she was thinking something, he just wished he knew what, all adults had the same face expression when they were thinking but he had never been able to work out what it was they were thinking about possibly how to punish me he thought but just shrugged it off watching her again, he was waiting for the few seconds of yelling followed by the lecture followed by 'hows blah blah' and then he would be free to go and terror some people.

"So.. whats this about exactly?" Chris said curiously, he had been in pretty much a lot of trouble the past week but there were more things he hadnt been caught for yet so he was interested to find out about which one of those things had got him into trouble this time. "Oh and my dad wanted me to tell you something.. erm.. oh yeah hows your kids?" Chris smiled as sweetly as he could glad that he could distract her by something he had actually just made up may aswell have a bit of fun

"Rumours fly around Chris, and most students are happy to pass them on to each other, with the odd one speaking loud enough for me to hear." She replied, taking another mouthful of pumpkin juice.
"After stopping by the Hospital Wing, it turned out that a Gryffindor girl had had a nasty encounter with the Furnunculus curse." Hermione added, putting the glass down at looking at Christopher.

"Jaslene's in your house and year Chris, surely it's obvious how she is." Hermione replied, not mentioning her younger Gryffindor daughter. Christopher was sure to mention her, but allowing him to answer his own question regarding one of her children should be enough to let him know she'd figured him out.

Leo couldnt help but chuckle at the thought of Vicky covered in boils "sorry" he said looking at Hermione "she did try to set me on fire though, but it's cool, i called her hot then he kind of forgave me so were all good" chris said leaning back in his char with his arms around the back of his head.

Chris honestly didnt realy know much about Jaslene, he had heard her name a few times but hadnt realy spoken to her that much "Well I'll have to go talk to her, whats she look like?" Chris asked curiously then paused a moment doesn't she have more then one child he thought for a moment then said "And hows the youngest?" he asked, well at least he could tell his parents and that would give him some brownie points which would mean next time he got told off by them they wouldn't be as stern as usualy.

[hermionemalfoy]

"Don't worry, I'll be speaking to her as well." Hermione said, though the truth was she'd already spoken to her. She'd refused to say anything other than Chris Weasley had done it to her. Of course, she could always check his story against hers at a later date. She raised an eyebrow when he mentioned calling her hot and her forgiving him, but she shrugged it off.

'And I thought my year were a bit odd.' She thought. He then asked her about Jaslene.
"She's a Malfoy, use your imagination." Hermione replied, popping another bean into her mouth. 'Bitter Lemon, not the best, but could've been worse.'
"She's fine, help yourself." She said, responding to his question and gesturing to the juice and sweets.

[dan]

"We'll she'll say the same thing i did" Chris said with a smile. Chris couldnt help but smirk slightly when he saw her reaction to him calling her hot and her forgiving him. "Getting people to forgive you is a lot easier then it sounds" Chris told her from his rather relaxed position in the chair.

"Yeah but your also a malfoy now and your not terrorising people" Chris pointed out with a smirk. I wounder how she'll react to that Chrs thought but knew he would just have to wait and see. "Good, i'll make sure i tell my parents" Chris said with a smile. Reaching over he plucked one of the beans and put it in his mouth, he paused for a moment before swallowing it "Ok i dont know what flavour that one was" he admitted but he rather liked it.

[hermionemalfoy]

'Well, we'll see about that one.' Hermione thought.
"It clearly is. The fact remains, the two of you acted very irresponsibly, and I'll be deducting 5 points from both Gryffindor and Slytherin as a result of this." She replied, flicking her wand into the air to make the necessary changes to the house hourglasses.

"I'd also appreciate it if you didn't imply that my family were terrorists." Hermione added, slightly annoyed at the remark he had made. Of course, she had no objections to him calling Lucius Malfoy such a thing, but she wouldn't accept the same treatment towards her husband and children.
"I meant appearance wise, but they're both fine as far as I know." She continued, sipping her pumpkin juice and holding the glass in her hand.

[dan]

Chris paused a moment thinking before saying "So that means Hufflepuff are in the lead.. well that sucks" he realy didnt care if Hermione began to give him a lecture on how he deserves the points lost I'll make it up with some of the teachers who like me he thought scratching the back of his head waiting for something else to reply to.

"I didnt mean terrorist's im pretty sure your family doesn't blow people up but honestly you yourself cant say that the Malfoys have a squeaky clean background" Chris smiled his sweetest then sunk back down into the chair he was sitting on, he knew more then enough about the malfoys from his parents, uncles, and grandparents. "Oh so shes fine looking.." Chris said with a smile then a smirk formed on his face as he said "Well you can hardly call her hideous can you?".

[/size]

[hermionemalfoy]

"If you're not happy with that then you're just going to have to earn some more points." Hermione reminded him, though she was certain that a lot more people would be annoyed if Slytherin were in the lead as opposed to Hufflepuff. Nevertheless, she had to be impartial.
"That all stopped with Draco." Hermione replied to his comment about Malfoy's having a squeaky clean background.

"You yourself are related to them distantly, I'm sure you're aware of your great-grandmother Cedrella. She was a Black, and so was Narcissa Malfoy." Hermione added, unsure what the whole point of her last sentence was. Why would Chris care about that?
"I'd be more than happy to have you as my son-in-law if that's what you're getting at."

[dan]

Chris smiled slightly and with a wink said "Don't worry i will" he knew a few teachers that would give him points just for answering in class which was something he rarely did, not because he didnt know the answers but mainly because he was either not paying attention or just couldnt be bothered. "Yeah.. or so we think, we cant possibly know the future of your kids can we?" Chris said with a small smirk, he wasnt sure if he was just saying that or if he was trying to annoy her, which probably wasnt the best idea he had ever had.

"Yeah but i dont realy mind.. im a slytherin after all" Chris said with a small smirk then looked at the beans again "May i have another?" he asked motioning towards them. "Woah there, lets not get way to ahead of ourselves" Chris said referring to her not minding if he was a son in law. Chris paused a moment "You'd be more then happy?" he asked with a small smirk.

[hermionemalfoy]

Hermione nodded once as Christopher assured her that he would earn Slytherin some more house points. He then returned to the subject of her family, which was something Hermione loved to talk about, but the current conversation was becoming very different to how she wanted to speak of her immediate relatives.
"That's enough on the subject Chris." Hermione replied, finishing off her glass and putting it down on the table.

Hermione sighed with a smile as Christopher reminded her that he was a Slytherin, a fact that she was already very aware of.
"Sure, knock yourself out." She said, flicking her wand. An empty Bertie Bott's box appeared beside the bowl, which she assumed he'd realise was to fill and take with him.
"You may be a Slytherin, but you're a good person at heart. Much better than all of the other Slytherins anyway."

[dan]

Chris smiled slightly as she said it was enough of the family subject well i managed to distract her for long enough he thought to himself as he said "Ok then, so.. what is it you want to talk about then?" he wasnt sure if she had to lecture him about the importance of not dueling with other students or the importance of not causing people to have boils or even going into the forbidden forest, but he wasnt sure if she knew that part.

"thanks" Chris said grabbing the box and filling it, then he reached into the box which was almost overflowing and popped a blue bean into his mouth, he wasnt sure what flavour it was but it tasted nice. "Well.. " Chris paused for a moment looking down thinking before looking back up at Hermione "I presume my dad told you about the cat?" he wanted to get it out of the way as it would be easier for him to explain that he wasnt as kind as he seemed if she knew about the cat.

"I've told you what I need to tell you, I hope you have the sense not to do it again. Unless it's someone from the Ministry, then you can blame it on me. Pompous prats." Hermione replied, surprised at her own distaste for the Ministry. It was a pretty sweeping statement, but those such as the Minister and his under secretaries fitted her description perfectly. They still though that they could persuade Hermione to let them come in everyone now and then to interview students they thought could become dangerous.

"Yes, I heard about the poor thing. If there's nothing else you want to talk about, you're free to go by the way." She told him, adding the last sentence randomly. She could lecture him on why he shouldn't do it and punish him for doing so, but when it came down to it, he was a Slytherin, and every word spoken would be a waste of breath. He wouldn't listen, he would do as he liked. His father proved that much, and he only had the Gryffindor level of defiance.
