Sienna huffed in pure fury. ”My ‘charming disposition’ as you say, came from you being an idiotic a- jerk to me,” she growled, barely restraining herself from cursing. The next thing that crossed her mind was who even said doth pertain to anything anymore? He was clearly living with his head in the wrong century.

Scoffing she continued on from the feebly words he was sorrowfully defending himself with. “You would’ve lost that ability without my help, I’m sure.” Just who did he think he was? “That’s rich. And it’s coming from the house that thinks they know everything, but actually need some cold reality splashed in their faces? Also, don’t call me sweet cheeks!”

After she pushed him, she felt an extreme sense of satisfaction as he hit the water with a loud splash. There’s some reality for him.“I'd say you’re the icy one now!” she called out, grinning as he swam to his bag. Just when Sienna was at the peak of the argument, she noticed a prefect running over. Just being her lucky day, Sienna realized the prefect was also a Ravenclaw. Hopefully she hadn’t heard the stuff Sienna had been saying not moments ago.

The prefect dropped to her knees to be sure the boy in the lake was okay. It would be pointless to walk away from the situation ad she assumed the other girl would follow her back to the castle. Sure enough, the girl turned back and started yelling about why Sienna would do that and how dangerous a situation this was.

“Of course I know it’s dangerous. He wanted his bag back so I was giving it to him,” she gestured at where the boy and his bag floated on the water’s surface. “As to why I would do it… I did it because he was being a pompous ass.” Probably not what the prefect would want to hear, but oh well. Too late now.

While he was in the water - which was mercifully fairly warm - and grabbing his bag, Bubba saw another girl arrive on the scene. She was a fellow Ravenclaw but he didn't know her, but still, at least she was a friendly face. He managed to grab hold of the bag and started to make his way to shore when she asked him if he was okay, "I can swim, don't worry." He said as he made his way over back to the beach. As he half swam, half walked back, he heard the girl asking Sienna why she'd sent Bubba for a swim. This should be good, how do you explain running into a stationary object? Still, he knew she would find some absurd way to make it his fault.

Sure enough, it was his fault. Giving him his bag back, how cute! Very amusing indeed. Apparently, they'd been arguing for some time as the sun had moved a considerable distance in the sky. As he reached the bank and walked out the sun framed him from behind. He strode out of the water, silhouetted against the sun. As he slung the bag over his shoulder and ran a hand through his wet hair, the sun caught him in such a way that made him look - there was no other word for it - majestic.

He slung his bag over his shoulder and began walking back to the shade of his tree when his travel agent said something that stopped him in his tracks. A pompous ass? HIM? He'd never been so insulted in his life, but he wasn't going to let her see that. Instead, he turned to face her and dropped to one knee, and looked down at the ground. in the most sarcastic voice he could manage he groveled, "I'm so sorry your majesty, please forgive me, I am just a humble peasant, please have mercy on me, I don't know what came over me."

A huge weight fell off her shoulders when the bot said he could swim. She didn't have to jump in the water to save him, she could just patiently wait on the shore while lecturing the girl about her idiotic actions. As the girl admitted knowing how dangerous it was, Samantha stared at her in disbelief trying to figure out what was wrong with the girl. "So you knew," pointing an accusatory finger in her direction, "you knew, that if you pushed him in the lake he might die. AND YOU DID IT ANYWAY!" she screamed the last words in the girl's face.

At the comment about the boy being a pompous ass, the prefect dramatically rolled her eyes in utter disbelief and disappointment. Somebody being annoying was not enough reason to push them into the dangerous waters of the lake, only when they called you a mud-blood, stole your diary, started reading it and you were overwhelmed with emotions because of that, you are allowed to push people in the lake. On top of that, the person being dumbed in the lake must be Cash and your name Samantha, otherwise, you weren't allowed to. The brunette was sure that that wasn't the case with these two students so they were in the wrong and detention must be served.

"Somebody being a pompous ass," she turned around to search for the boy, "doesn't give you the," when her blue eyes spotted the boy, she turned quiet all of a sudden. The low-hanging sun enhanced the boy's natural beauty, which made Samantha's heart pound faster, as he made his way out of the water like a supermodel, hand through his hair in slow-motion, the sun's light hitting the drops of water that fell from his hair in a magical way and his bag slung over his shoulder, simply majestic. "O my god," left her lips, overwhelmed by the boy's stunning appearance as her hands started sweating.

The whole world but the boy had become completely irrelevant to the brunette and as he made his way over to the shade of the tree her gaze was glued to him. He was all her mind could think off and she would have completely forgotten about the girl if it hadn't been for the boy replying to her comment. His words were spoken in the most sarcastic tone in the world but Samantha still found them the most beautiful words she had ever heard.

Samantha's brain had started to work very slowly once she had spotted the handsome boy, and only a few seconds after he finished talking she realized what he had said and how terribly rude the girl had been to him for obliviously no reason because there was no way this boy could have ever done anything wrong. "Don't listen to her," she turned to the boy. "She is just jealous that you are-" Luckily her brain had been able to stop Samantha before she completely embarrassed herself by saying: 'so handsome' and was able to come up with something else. "Not getting detention and she is," she finished her sentence a tad too late.

Trying to stare down a prefect was turning out to be much easier than Sienna would have supposed. The prefect continued to yell at her after being reassured that the boy could swim. At this point, Sienna couldn’t even listen attentively to the other girl. She was thinking about how hilariously stupid the boy looked drenched in the lake. She caught a few of the girl’s words: pushed, die, and did it anyway being among the words she heard.

”Okay, look. Yes, I pushed him. Yes, I did it purposefully.” She quickly paused to be sure she left put the part about him deserving it. That wouldn’t get her on the prefect’s good side. “However, I wouldn’t have let him die. If it turned out he couldn’t swim, I would’ve gotten help.” Most likely, she thought.

The argument between the two girls likely would have continued on for a much longer period of time, if he hadn’t pulled himself out of the lake at that precise moment. The Ravenclaw girl seemed to be immediately entranced by him. Was she seriously falling for him right now? ”You have got to be kidding me,” she muttered under her breath.

The boy took the minute to grovel to Sienna, sarcastically begging for forgiveness. “Oh shut up will you?” The other girl started defending him and her sentence was cut off quickly once she realized what she was about to say. She covered it up by announcing that Sienna was getting a detention. “What? Come on, he’s obviously fine.” Then, in much quieter tones she added, “And you obviously like him.”

While Bubba swam to the shore he heard the new arrival berating the girl, this made him smile. After all, he had been doing nothing wrong. He was just minding his business, literally just sitting there and reading his magazine. She comes out of nowhere, runs into him, and then has the nerve to say it's his fault. Then to boot, she throws him into the water out of pure spite. It was just ridiculous.

When he got out of the water, however, something strange happened. The Prefect - he now knew she was a prefect now because he saw her pin - was somehow... transfixed? That seemed the right word. She simply could not take her eyes off him. He'd never seen anyone, boy or girl, man or woman, look at him in that manner. She looked downright fatootsed and he had absolutely no idea why. All he had done was get out of the water and run a hand through his hair to get it out of his eyes. Why was she staring at him so intently? Hadn't she ever seen someone climb out of the lake sopping wet before? He heard her softly go 'O my god'. Normally that was a reaction that could only be evoked by him opening his mouth and he hadn't said anything to really elicit such a reaction.

She tried to cut across him as the mocked the other girl but he would not be run over. She needed to be made a fool of, for she had already made one of him. He knew he must look ridiculous. That must be why the Prefect let out her 'O my god'. He looked absolutely ridiculous. She had made him look a fool in front of a prefect for the sole reason that she was too pigheaded to admit she hadn't been looking where she was going. He heard the prefect tell the girl she was getting detention. He didn't care, anger was swelling inside him now. He didn't want her in detention. He wanted to humiliate her the same way she had humiliated him. That was the only real way he was going to get even with this cold, nasty person.

At least she admitted it. She'd done it on purpose. Well, what defense did she have? It seemed as though the prefect had seen her do it. Oh good, is that so, she wouldn't have let him drown. How kind of her, she didn't want him dead, just to humiliate him. Give him some quality time with the giant squid. Then his own record scratch moment happened and the girl stopped his train of thought in its tracks. She accused the prefect of "liking" him. What did she mean? They hadn't even been properly introduced at that point! Literally, all he'd said is that he could swim. How could she want to be friends with him based solely on that? Did she love swimming that much? It was preposterous. Still, the way the Prefect kept looking at him, stealing glances at him, it was just weird. He couldn't explain it but he'd never looked at any of his friends like that. He was definitely not picking up whatever she was putting down. He'd decided he'd had enough though, had enough of this little girl tearing into him for literally no reason.

He turned to the prefect and started a diatribe that would surely go on his greatest hits if he ever put out a compilation album. "Let me tell you something - I'm Bubba by the way I don't think we've met - but I have the perfect book for this." He turned back to the other girl and spoke the words directly at her, "The Lion, The Witch, and The Audacity of This. Bitch." He added emphasis to the last two words, pointing his finger at the other girl, whose name he wasn't even going to bother to learn.

"I'll tell you exactly what happened here. Let me set the scene for you." He paused and put on a whimsical attitude to tell the tall tale. "It's an idyllic summer's day, our hero has just finished his History of Magic exam. He's feeling good, he's ready to unwind. After the exam, our hero gets an owl from his father, opens the owl, a nice new magazine for him to read while he fritters the hours away waiting for the results." He pointed to the Motor Sport magazine that was still sitting on the ground next to the tree where he'd left it. "So our hero decides to come down to the lake, sit down against a tree, just relax, let the breeze flow through his hair." He said as he pointed the tree before running a hand through his hair again.

"It's blissful, idyllic, a wonderful day. Our hero, he's just relaxing, reading his magazine, minding his own business..." And then his voice turned dark as he pointed to his swim instructor, "And then the Wicked Bitch of the Gryffindor Tower entered the scene." He kept telling the story in this suspenseful voice, building the tension. "She leaves her dark realm and trundles down to the lake - but our hero - our hero is unaware!" His voice became suddenly dramatic, "He doesn't know the danger, lurking just on the other side of the tree he's leaning against, his bag - oh that horrible bag - leaning against his knees."

"The bitch pounces" he slapped his thigh to make a sudden noise for dramatic effect, "And, barely missing the tree, walks straight into our hero. But no, it's not her fault, it's not her fault her eyes failed to perceive that which was right in front of her face!" He scoffed, "No it was our hero's fault! Our hero's fault for having the sheer nerve to sit here and mind his own business."

He paused before he continued, at a brisk, dramatic pace, "She accosts our hero, demanding an apology, but our hero, our hero won't be bullied! She throws his bag in the water, but no, he won't budge - he's done nothing wrong, he rises to defend himself from the foul, evil creature! And then... and then..." he gave the girl a malicious look, "That bitch threw him straight into the lake... without care for whether he would swim... or sink... consigned for eternity... to the watery depths below."

Samantha gasped dramatically when the girl admitted to purposely pushing the boy into the dangerous water. "How nice to know you would have let him die," she replied sarcastically as she rolled her eyes. "What if they help you would have gotten come too late and you would have killed a fellow student!? You are crazy," she bluntly told the girl. Seriously, it seemed like she was the only person on earth that could think logically. "You must be Gryffindor, always acting before they think," Samantha spoke from her own experiences with the lions. The young girl still had a lot to learn about not thinking in stereotypes about people but right now she just found it easier to put people in little boxes.

Reducio

It was back to reality for the young prefect as the two students started to make rude comments in the others direction. However, the girl didn't only make remarks about Bubba, no that apparently wasn't enough for her as she would also mutter something in a much quieter tone about the prefect. It wasn't all too clear what the girl had said but Samantha was able to hear it and once she understood, blood rushed to her head, making her cheeks red. "I don't!" Okay, she defiantly did but she wouldn't admit that to the other students. "You get detention because you almost killed him!" she started to ramble, trying to change the topic. "You broke rule 10 and rule 20, and if you are not careful you might also break rule 11, so you get detention," she told the girl. The brunette knew all the school rules by heart and expected others to know them as well, which they rarely did but she still expected it.

Flattered when Bubba took the time to tell her his name, she wanted to reply but he kept talking making Samantha unable to properly introduce herself. Usually, she would have just interrupted the other so she could say what she wanted but she didn't want Bubba to think that she was rude or anything negative at all. When he called the other girl a bitch, Samantha tucked her hair behind her ear uncomfortably. "You-" aren't allowed to curse. That was what she had wanted to say but Bubba continued his story so she stopped talking again.

The boy's story was very entertaining even though the words he used weren't the best, which Samantha let slide at first but after the fourth time, she couldn't ignore it anymore. Every time Bubba called the other girl a bitch, the prefect looked away uncomfortable not saying anything, which was unusual for her. The brunette always had strong opinions and if it had been anybody else who had talked like that about another student she would have stopped them the first time but she only stopped him after the fourth time.

"Stop calling her that!" she told the boy annoyed. "You cannot say things like that about other people!" She refused to say the word Bubba had used and only revered to it as 'that' acting like something horrible would happen if she spoke the word out loud. "Tell her you are sorry right now or-" she was quiet for a second as she tried to think what would happen if he didn't apologize, "you will get detention too!" Honestly, the idea of him getting detention from her wasn't that bad at all as she would be able to stare at his handsome face get to know him a bit better in the time that they are together.

”Call me what you want. Being a prefect doesn’t mean you’re better than every other student here!” Sienna exclaimed. Samantha proceeded to assume that she was a Gryffindor, ‘always acting before they thought’ as she put it. “Yes, I am a Gryffindor. What does that matter? It’s not like you Ravenclaws don’t have your own faults. No one’s perfect, you know.” Why was this girl even made a prefect? She seemed to be full of insults but not a lot of action.

“You don’t? Oh really?” she asked in a teasing tone. “Great. I get detention, because I totally didn’t expect that when you came running over. Remind me why you are a prefect again? You don’t seem like you’re a very good one.” If Samantha was getting on her for breaking rules 10 and 20 and almost breaking 11, Sienna would break rule 11, which if she remembered correctly was being disrespectful to a professor or prefect. She had no problem doing so either, especially to Samantha who was so clearly biased because of her feelings for that boy.

The Ravenclaw boy finally came over and started talking in his infuriating way again. “You’re calling me a bitch?! Seriously?” He began to speak like this whole encounter was some story and he was the hero. “In no world would you ever be the hero,” she objected. “And quit calling me that!” Samantha decided to interject at that point, demanding he apologize to her, or he would get detention as well. Sienna grinned happily as she reprimanded Bubba. It seemed as if she would get what she wanted after all then: a simple apology.

Bubba wasn't really sure where to begin. At first, he'd been very happy with how the situation was progressing. The girl was getting detention, good, she deserved detention. He really had done nothing wrong. He was just minding his own business and she comes over and loses her damn mind. What was he supposed to do to deal with that?

If only she would have apologized to him, it would've solved all of their problems. She was just so stupid, so pigheaded. He was greatly enjoying her (not so quiet) indignation. "Well, I'll tell you I think she really is a great prefect and you deserve everything you get for this." He gave her a slight smirk before continuing, "I think you'll find that if you had just apologized to me we could've avoided this whole situation." He paused again before he drove the final dagger in, "But I suppose if you were intelligent enough to realize you needed to apologize you'd already be a Ravenclaw." Mic drop, job done, career ended. Bubba was ready to ride off into the sunset having achieved satisfaction.

Then everything stopped on a dime. A detention? Him?!?! FOR WHAT? Detentions were for people who broke the rules or lied to a professor or prefect. He had done neither! Well, he supposed that being in the lake at all technically did count as a rule break she knew perfectly well HOW he'd ended up in the lake. This really got his goat. Yes, maybe he hadn't used the nicest words but it was how she was acting. He wasn't going to go down without a fight on this one! "What do you mean I can't call someone that? It's how she was acting, if she doesn't want to be called that then she shouldn't act like one!"

Apologize or be put in detention? Apologize? To her? What a laugh. That simply was not going to happen and he supposed he should just get it out of the way now. "I will apologize to her when hell freezes over," he said with a glare at the girl. "Ok you know what I'll try. I'm sorry that you overreacted to almost falling over. I'm... sorry that your parents didn't raise you with any manners whatsoever." He thought that those might not have done the trick so he decided to spell it out very clearly. "I would also like to preemptively accept your apology for being so rude and pushing me in the lake."

A pinched expression appeared on Samantha's face as Sienna claimed that being a prefect didn't make her better than the other students. She sighed exaggeratedly, wondering if the other was joking. According to her being a prefect did make her better than the other students. After all, the professors trusted her with the power that came with being a prefect and they didn't just give anybody that power. "It does," she replied confidently. A triumphant look appeared as Sienna confirmed being Gryffindor. "The eagles are amazing! We are perfect," she said offended. She genuinely believed that Ravenclaw was the best house and nobody would be able to change the stubborn girl's mind.

The teasing words from Sienna caused her to look away sheepishly. Luckily, the embarrassment didn't last long as the younger Gryffindor decided to insult her. "You are lacking brain cells if you don't see why I am a good prefect," she replied, before quickly stopping herself from insulting the other girl further. After all, she was supposed to be the mature one as the oldest and prefect and she didn't want Bubba to think bad about her. When Bubba backed her up by saying she was a great prefect, she straightened her back proudly and a huge grin appeared on her face.

"Even if somebody is acting like that, you can't call them that!" she told Bubba. It was hard for her not to bend under the words of the handsome boy but she had to stay strong. If you said something you couldn't just back out. When Bubba told her he would only apologize when hell froze over, she looked at him pleadingly hoping he would have a change of heart. There was a part of her that wanted to give him detention so she could spend more time with him but the other part told her he wouldn't like it and he would think she was an idiot for giving him detention.

If only he would have given a serious apology this terrible choice she now had to make could have been avoided. Samantha desperately tried to think of what she had to do now. "Bubba," she said defeated. "You have just earned yourself a detention too," she sighed. "Now, both of you," she looked at both of the first years, "I will send you an owl with the details about detention. For now, just get your things and go back to the castle."

All of the things Sam says and thinks are for the purpose of her character, I defiantly don't always agree with her so don't take anything personal
