Harry was sat in the Hospital Wing, holding onto Catalina's hand waiting
for her to wake up. Angry thoughts about what had just happened were 
chasing around his head, and he didn't hear the footsteps behind him. 

‘Mr. Potter I would like you to come up to my office' said Professor
McGonagall sharply. 

‘I should stay here' said Harry quietly. 

‘She's not going to wake up anytime soon, and when she does you'll be
informed, now come with me' said the impatient voice, waiting for Harry 
to get up. 

He was led unwillingly to Professor McGonagall's office, and Harry
settled himself down in a small chair opposite his head of house. 
Thoughts of Malfoy mixed with the fear of his situation, he was only 
just beginning to realise what he'd truly done. 

‘Harry, would you like to tell me why you attacked Draco Malfoy, and
Professor Snape?' asked Professor McGonagall, peering at Harry over her 
steepled fingers. 

‘He deserved it, and I didn't attack Professor Snape' muttered Harry,
slouched back in his chair. 

‘And what did he do?' she asked, eyeing Harry steadily. 

Harry remained silent, staring at his clasped hands, he was starting to
panic. He couldn't tell Professor McGonagall that he had attacked 
Malfoy because he tried to get Catalina to join Voldemort, it sounded 
ridiculous, even in his own head. 

‘He...insulted Catalina' said Harry lamely, not able to think of a
excuse why he'd practically tried to kill Malfoy. 

‘That's all it was about?' asked McGonagall raising one eyebrow, ‘A
schoolboy fight?' 

Harry nodded his head slowly, cursing himself for covering up for
Malfoy, he deserved to be expelled for what he'd done. 

‘Well I must say, I am deeply, deeply shocked that any Gryffindor could
use that kind of behaviour and get away with it. 50 points from 
Gryffindor, and you will also receive detentions. I will be speaking to 
the headmaster about this' she said, looking at Harry disapprovingly. 

Harry mutely nodded his head again, and sat in the long silence that
followed, Professor McGonagall was staring at Harry intently, 
thoughtfully tapping her fingers against the desk. 

‘And what of Professor Snape? He told me that you levitated him and
threw him across the room when he tried to interrupt you' said 
Professor McGonagall accusingly. 

‘I didn't, I would remember, I didn't even get out my wand' admitted
Harry, flinching at the thought of Professor McGonagall accusing him of 
calling a fellow professor a liar. 

‘I see...you better get back to your dormitory then' said Professor
McGonagall, standing up and leading Harry out of her office. 

‘By the way, what is wrong with Miss Firelight, why is she in the
Hospital Wing?' asked Professor McGonagall suspiciously. 

‘Er...she got herself locked in the broom cupboard by accident, she's
scared of small spaces, she was a bit upset' said Harry, hating himself 
even more. 

Professor McGonagall merely nodded, and pushed Harry out of her office,
shutting the door on him. He walked silently back to the hospital wing 
and found himself an uncomfortable chair and waited for Catalina to 
wake up.
