Morgana Seraphina Llewellyn Elle Gwendolyn Pendragon was a witch of many names and many talents. Although, honestly, she thought she could do with a few less names and a few more talents.
One of her talents was, according to her friends, her maternal disposition. Morgan was the patient sort certainly, and she always tried to take care of the people around her, but even Morgan's patience had its limits.
And a half-clad Slytherin, hundreds of enchanted stuffed parrots, and two mischievous Hufflepuff girls seemed to be it.
Not a word had been spoken the entire trip, as per Morgan's instructions. When they approached Reginald, Morgan tapped him with her wand. The stone phoenix moved to one side, and when he moved back after they passed, he would not move for anyone but school staff.
Morgan did not wish to be interrupted.
The quartet ascended the stairs. When she reached the top, she indicated that they should take a seat around the small, brightly polished wooden table to their right. She took the fourth seat, looking each of them squarely in the face in turn.
They had interrupted tea time.
"Mister Fitzgerald, you will speak first. You two," she looked pointedly at the Hufflepuffs, "will say nothing until he is finished. Afterwards, Miss Hakumi, you will speak, and finally Miss Raines. Nobody is to interrupt anyone else. Once you have all spoken, I will think about what the appropriate punishment is."
Morgan looked at Fernando. "Mister Fitzgerald, you may proceed. What were you doing in the Hufflepuff dorms, and what, exactly, was going on down there? And where are the rest of your clothes?"

Well, here it was. He was in the head mistresses office. The place was much larger than he'd imagined. As he took his seat he realized how serious this actually was. Talking to the head mistress in her office. He gulped. This was a place he was hoping to never be.
He thought for a moment about what he would say. He hadn't done anything wrong, right? He'd give her the entire story from the start, explain everything honestly, exactly as he remembered it, and the hufflepuffs would be in trouble, and he'd be fine right? He swallowed again before he spoke.
"I was in the di-dining hall." Wow he had stuttered. That was embarrassing. He swallowed again and spoke more smoothly this time. He was really nervous, but that didn't mean he needed to sound like a baby.
"I was in the dining hall, about to eat my salad, when it vanished away. I looked around and spotted Amira as the culprit. I went over to her and she offered me her salad, before the other girl, that I still don't know the name of, poofed that one! Amira was being friendly, and seemed like she wanted to make it up to me, so I stayed next to her and talked to her while eating."Wait, was it against the rules to eat at another teams table? Fernando wasn't sure. He was still new here. It couldn't be that bad could it? Even if it was against the rules, it wasn't nearly as bad as what they'd done...
"Anyway, she offered me some cheese covered in ketchup, and the ketchup got on my robe. So I made a bowl of soapy water, and started to clean the stain off in it. That's when she," he gestured towards the other girl who's name still hadn't been said to him, "poofed my robe! I ran up to her and was mad she poofed my robe. I... kind of yelled at her but I don't remember exactly what I said... but it was my favorite robe!
"Then she ran away crying and Amira dragged me after her, saying we needed to comfort her. That made sense so I went along with it. Then, when I saw her run into the hufflepuff commons, I tried to stop, but Amira pulled me in. The door shut behind me and it was dark at first. Then she made a light and I saw the weird creepy birds and they started saying 'I love you' over and over.
"Amira then demanded the Slytherin common's password. I figured I could overpower her, because I thought she was alone. I got rid of her wand and tried to force her to let me out. She screamed 'rape' and the birds attacked me and she tied me up. The other girl had been buried by the birds, and when the birds flew after me, she said something really nasty about bird genitals. Amira said I could go if I gave her the password. I knew dinner wouldn't last forever, so I figured if I could stall time until dinner ended, someone would find me and save me..."
Fernando trailed off for a second and looked down. He didn't look back up until he finished. "The birds took away my socks and shoes and started tickling my feet saying love tickles. I tried to distract Amira, and that's when you came in..."
He slowly looked back at the professor. He was breathing slow heavy breaths. She had to believe him. He'd told nothing but the truth! Well, this was it. He was extremely nervous. Every moment felt like an eternity.

Hakumi took a deep breath as it became her turn. She was feeling anxious, antsy, like there were little bugs in her stomach that wanted her to leave, to get away. She avoided Morgan's gaze, instead deciding to focus on Ferny's legs. Those were safe.
"I was just trying to clean Ferny's cloak," She said to Fuf's thigh, her voice shaky as she clutched her book on Bird Biology. "And I missed the stain and accidentally cleaned his robe... to death. And then, he started to scream at me, and, and he chased us to the Hufflepuff Common Room, and I was looking for his cloak in the common room, and he knocked Amira down and she started yelling and, and, and..."
Shaky, Hakumi frowned sadly at Fuf's hip. "I-I'm not jealous of Amira's boyfriend or anything, I just wanted to help."

Headmistress Pendragon seemed angry, all it was was a boy tied up and some parrots singing. Really. It was.
The students were to stay silent. It was almost like they were passing around the talking stick, but there was no stick.
As much as she wanted to interrupt while Ferny talked, she kept herself silent. Then, Hakumi spoke and now it was Amira's turn.
She looked at Headmistress Pendragon.
"For the record, I did not strip him," she made sure that was clear before she spoke and then it finally clicked of what Hakumi said. "He is not my boyfriend!" she said panicked. He wasn't her boyfriend.
She felt the heat rise to her face. Thanks, Hakumi. Now, it's awkward in here, she thought.
"Anyway, it was lunch. Transfigurations called for us to vanish three items, so I decided to disappear some salads and his just happened to be one of them.
"So he came over and started screaming at me, so I gave him my salad and Hakumi vanished it because of her transfiguration assignment. On accident.
"So, long story short too late, I tried to make Ferny eat some ketchup covered cheese and he ended up getting his robe stained and stripped, of his own accord, and then Hakumi vanished that on accident and he yelled at her and she ran away to the common room. We chased her cause she looked upset and then Ferny came into the common room.
"So then he like tackled me and, ya know, he's half naked so I screamed rape. And then charmed the stuffed parrots to torture him and I tied him up. Then he started flirting with me. And then you walked in."
That was pretty much it, though she did leave out a few minor details. This whole story made him sound like her boyfriend a little bit, but he wasn't. And that was that. The end. Finished book. Chapter closed.
She kept her eyes locked on the headmistress the whole story.

After hearing each of their stories, Morgan say and thought for a while. At last, she seemed to reach a decision. Her mouth was twisted into a smirk, and when she spoke again, it was with all the false cheeriness of a career kindergarten teacher.
"Mr. Fitzgerald, it is forbidden to enter another house's common room. I expect you to know this. In the future, whenever you are caught in similar circumstances, you are to ask the staff for help. For punishment, I am taking twenty-five points from Slytherin." Was she done with him? Hahaha. No.
"Also, because you reacted out of anger, you clearly need to be taught patience. For detention, you will personally clean out every animal cage and pen used in my class until the end of summer term. No magic. You will not so much as grumble discontentedly while doing so."
Having finished with Fernando, she fixed her gaze on the girls. "You two need some serious discipline. First, for vanishing food that isn't your own, I'm taking ten points. Each. Second, for luring Mr. Fitzgerald into your common room, twenty five points. Each. For tying him up and attacking him with enchanted plush toys, fifty points. Each. For attempting to coerce the password out of him, one hundred points, Miss Raines."
She turned to Hakumi. "Your knowledge of avian anatomy earns your house ten points, Miss Amuro. Consider yourself lucky that I'm the one that found you." She sat silent for a minute. Taking points was not going to be enough.
"Clearly, you girls need to be taught the value of hard work. Slytherin has the lead in points because they work hard. You two will be in charge of planning the Halloween dance this year. You will be responsible for the food, the music, and the decorations. I will be here to help, but the dance will be your responsibility. Am I clear?"

Hakumi's jaw dropped as she listened to Headmistress Morgan Pendragon list off their offenses, feeling hurt by each offense. She was passionate about their cause, about Puffia, hell, about Amira, but now... They had... They had destroyed themselves. This was so... This was so unfair! She felt her eyes begin to burn and her face got warm as she fought the urge to cry for the second time. And now they had to host some stupid dance so everyone could, every could celebrate Hufflepuff's defeat.
She fought a sob as she looked down at her knees, clenching the fabric of her clothes in two fists.
"Yes, Headmistress," She answered simply and bitterly, her voice wavering as she shook a little.
