While Dani agreed wholeheartedly that it was a relief to be out of McGonagall’s office, she didn’t really share Roze’s enthusiasm for traipsing through the woods in the middle of the night to serve out their detention. Still, she nodded along as the two of them walked towards their next class, a little concerned as Roze mentioned the brooms hurting people worse than something called the “Whomping Willow.” Though Dani had no clue what all Roze was talking about, it certainly didn’t help loosen the knot that had formed in the pit of her tummy concerning the next class.
When they did finally make it to their class on the lawn overlooking the forest, Roze went up to the instructor and informed him that Dani would be sitting out, leaving the smaller girl to stop and stare at her for a moment before following her over to Dan, a rather sullen expression on her face. Sure, it was a relief that she wouldn’t have to participate in flying that day, as it probably wasn’t safe and the mere thought of getting into the air made her shake like a leaf, but it hurt that Roze hadn’t even considered asking her if she wanted to sit out before telling the instructor.
Unfortunately, Dani’s displeasure at being spoken for without her permission seemed to go unnoticed by Roze for the most part as she explained that McGonagall had punished her for her involvement in the fight by deducting ten points from their House, whatever that meant, and that the two of them were already due for a detention in the spooky-looking forest. Despite feeling that losing points was an unfair punishment, Roze didn’t seem to dwell on it for too long, asking the two of them if they had plans for joining the Quidditch team.
Though Dani knew virtually nothing about Quidditch, understanding that it had something to do with flying and having met some of the people who participated in the sport meant that she definitely didn’t want anything to do with it. To answer Roze’s question, she simply shook her head no, offering up no other explanation. If either of them were really curious, they would ask. Hopefully, the professor would arrive shortly so that class could start and be over with.

All done, sorry about the delay. :) also, which sick person makes someone go back to college on a freakin' weekend?!
Classes started this past Monday, so we had Saturday and Sunday to move in.
I went back to college on Saturday, so I've been rather busy too. But, I'm currently waiting on @MiddleEarthRoze to write us to flying class. :D
Thanks! I'm glad I didn't step on any toes. :3
The only reason I figured fifty, apart from it being a relatively nice number to work with, is that it's technically the second incident that Roze has had with Wade in particular. But it's no big deal to change it of course.
EDIT: I changed it to 10 points. :D

I'm tentatively interested as well.
Hopefully, that's an adequate post. I don't typically like writing the actions of a character like the headmistress due to the potential for abuse, but I think I did a fair job. Let me know if you want me to change anything, @Eyeris! :D
As the duo walked into the headmistress’s office to the chairs that were arranged in front of her desk, Dani couldn’t help but examine her surroundings as a way to take her mind off the butterflies in her stomach. Much like McGonagall herself, the room was austere in its design with its black marble flooring and mahogany walls. Every decoration was arranged precisely with no allowances for anything that wasn’t useful, apart from what appeared to be photos of family on the desk.
The one thing in the room that stood out the most to Dani, however, was the portraits hanging high on the wall. Though she had seen the moving pictures throughout the hallways of the school, she still hadn’t gotten used to them, giving a start every time she saw the subject turn to look at her. Unfortunately, these portraits didn’t appear to be particularly friendly, looking down on Roze and Dani as they entered the room with disapproving expressions and muttered words, reminding the smaller girl why they were there again.
Despite still being quite nervous to be sitting in front of the headmistress waiting for judgment, Dani did find some relief in the fact that her expression was noticeably less furious than it had been when she had broken up the fight earlier. It also didn’t hurt that she appeared to have most of her attention directed at Roze, more than likely because Dani couldn’t speak, as she instructed them to take a seat and tell their version of events.
For some reason, Dani found it hard to pay attention as Roze explained what had happened outside the Dining Hall, looking around at the interior the room as if seeing it for the first time and admiring the little details of the walls and floors. Somehow, she managed to catch the slight pursing of McGonagall’s lips as Roze explained that she had persuaded Peeves to go bother someone else, a.k.a the Slytherin Quidditch Team, which caused her heart to beat a little more quickly. Whether a sign of the headmistress’s annoyance or anger, it didn’t bode well for the two girls.
Silence stretched on for a long moment after Roze finished telling her side of the story, staring at her toes in what was a rare lack of bravado on the larger girl’s part. It was understandable, however, as McGonagall’s eyes never wavered from watching Roze for those long seconds. “Ms. Carson?” the headmistress said, her green eyes turning to regard Dani with much the same intensity as they had Roze.
“Ms. Carson!” the headmistress repeated with a snap when it became clear that Dani wasn’t paying attention, sky blue eyes glued to a particular section of the wall that appeared to have been carved with a floral pattern of some kind. Dani jumped as if she had been poked in the ribs, turning to look at the headmistress, eyes wide and an expression of confusion and fear on her face.
“Do you have anything to add to Ms. Éathliel’s summary of what happened outside the Great Hall after lunch?” the headmistress continued once she had Dani’s attention, her expression softening when she realized that she had frightened the tiny girl. Dani quickly shook her head no, though she wasn’t entirely sure what all Roze had chosen to share with the headmistress. She also didn’t really have an entirely clear picture of what had happened, apart from Roze slamming into her and knocking her down, so she wouldn’t have been able to contribute much anyway.
Nodding, the headmistress stood, her slender form making her appear taller than she really was, and turned to stare out a small window, the sunlight softly illuminating the patterns of green thread on her robe. After allowing the silence to continue for a few moments, McGonagall turned back to the two girls in her office, her mind clearly made up on what judgment she would dole out.
“Because the part you had in instigating the fight with Mr. Dauer was both small and indirect, Ms. Éathliel, I am not going to give you another detention,” McGonagall stated, her tone direct and firm. “Still, you did play a part in instigating the scuffle, and so I’m deducting ten points from Ravenclaw. I feel that this is more than fair considering it isn’t the first time that you’ve been in an… altercation with Mr. Dauer.”
Having dealt with Roze, the headmistress turned, slight though it was, towards Dani, who had managed to more or less pay attention as the headmistress announced Roze’s punishment. Fidgeting noticeably as she became the focus on McGonagall’s attention, Dani wiped her hands on the part of her robes that covered her legs while she waited to hear how she would be punished for her part in the scuffle.
“Ms. Carson,” the headmistress began, her tone as steely and firm as ever, “by all accounts, you were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time and had no part in the fight apart from being knocked over. As such, I’m not going to punish you, though I would advise you to try and avoid such situations in the future.” Dani blinked a couple of times as she processed what she had heard. This was the same woman who had given herself and her two friends a detention for the train incident despite them having done nothing. Ultimately, however, Dani decided that the gift wasn’t worth questioning.
“If you plan on making it to your next class on time, I would suggest you hurry,” McGonagall said as she returned to her seat, dismissing them with a wave of her hand toward the door before resuming whatever she had been working on when the two girls arrived. Having been granted permission to leave, Dani slipped off the edge of the seat she was currently sitting in to the ground a good foot or so below, tottering noticeably when she straightened her legs to stand fully.
After a moment, the surge of dizziness passed, Dani opened her eyes and looked to Roze, beaming her a smile and motioning her to take the lead to hide the fact that she was still a little unsteady on her feet. Hopefully, Roze would be too excited for flying and rushing there to notice Dani’s wobbly steps as she followed the larger girl. Dani didn’t want Roze feeling bad for knocking her over, after all.

I would, but I'm still waiting on @MiddleEarthRoze. :P
Aw man, I miss everything interesting when I'm sleeping. :/ Seems like whatever the troll posted got deleted pretty quickly.
In other news, I suppose I'll let Roze answer McGonagall. Having Dani tell what happened through the use of her whiteboard would definitely make them late for flying class. :3
