"Desaugeo!" screamed Malfoy like a little girl.
At the same time, jets of light shot from both wands, hit each other in midair, and ricocheted of at angles-Sienna's hit Goyle in the face, and Malfoy's hit Hermione. Goyle bellowed and put his hands to his nose, where great ugly boils were springing up-Hermione, whimpering in panic, was clutching her mouth.
"Hermione!"
Ron had hurried forward to see what was wrong with her; Harry turned and saw Ron dragging Hermione's hand away from her face. It wasn't a pretty sight. Hermione's front teeth-already larger than average-were now growing at an alarming rate; she was looking more and more like a beaver as her teeth grew, past her bottom lip, toward her chin-panic stricken, she felt them and let out a small shriek.
"What is all this noise about?" said a soft deadly voice.
Snape had arrived. Sienna, who realized that another detention was approaching, pretended to faint.
"Leave Black on the ground." said Snape to the people who tried to revive Sienna. "She's just trying to get out of yet another detention that she will serve with me tonight at 8:00 scrubbing cauldrons."
"Darn it!" said Sienna sitting up.
"Explain." said Snape whipping around to face Draco.
"Black attacked me, sir-"
"We attacked each other at the same time!" Sienna said.
"-and she hit Goyle-look-."
Snape examined Goyle and sent him off to the hospital wing. When he examined Hermione, however, it was completely rude.
"I see no difference." said Snape, talking about Hermione's front teeth that were now past her neck. Her eyes filled with tears, and she took off running towards the hospital wing.
"Let's see, 50 points from Gryffindor and detention for Black." said Snape.
"Now, let's begin. Antidotes! You should have all prepared your recipies now. I want you to brew them carefully, and then, we will be selecting someone on whom to test one..." Snape's eyes met Harry's.
"That can't be good." Ajax mumbled under her breath.
Just then, a knock came from the dungeon door. It was Colin Creevey; he edged into the room, beaming at Harry, and walked up to Snape's desk at the front of the room.
"Yes?" Snape said curtly.
"Please, sir, I'm supposed to take Harry Potter upstairs." said Colin.
"Potter has another hour of Potions to complete." said Snape.
"But sir, Mr. Bagman wants him. All of the champions have to go." said Colin nervously.
'Very well, Potter, leave your things here-" started Snape.
"Sir, the champions need to take their things with them." said Colin.
"Very well! Potter, take your bag and get out of my sight!" snapped Snape as Harry ran out the door with Colin.
To make yet another long story short, Sienna was picked to be poisoned, and she succeeded. Snape said she didn't have to do detention that night.
"That was torture enough." said Sienna as the group was walking down the hall towards dinner.

Later that evening, Harry came up to Sienna.
"I got a letter from Snuffles today." said Harry as he held out the letter for Sienna to read, which she snatched from his hand and read quickly.
"Lucky." she said. "I haven't had any of my letters answered."
"Well, what have you written about?" asked Harry.
"I've asked him if he's alright and how he's doing." Sienna said. "Obviously, his health and well being is a tiny bit more important than your stupid Triwizard Tornament."
"Uhhh...." said Harry. "You've been supporting me for a while, what's wrong?"
Just then, Sienna burst into tears. "Oh Harry! Fred broke up with me *sniffs* and I saw him with *sniff* Angelina Johnson! I'm so *sniff* freaking *sniff* devastated!"
"Uhhh...." said Harry. "I'm sure you'd rather talk with some, uhh, girls about this. Not a guy."
"*Sniff* You're right. I'll go *sniff* and find Hermione or someone *sniff* who'll understand me."
Harry didn't know what to say, so he left.
Just in time, though. Chloe, Mia, Zoe, Hermione, and Kendall all came through the portrait door with Ajax wearing a Gryffindor robe. They all saw Sienna crying hysterically by the fire and ran over to comfort her.
"What's wrong?" asked Chloe but Sienna didn't reply. She just kept crying and sniffing. All the girls were patient, though. They hugged her, rubbed her arms, patted her on the back, got her tissue boxes, and braided her hair. After 2 hours and 3 boxes of tissues later, Sienna said, "Fred dumped me."
"Why would her do that?" said Ajax.
"I don't know!" said Sienna. "I've been nice to him. I haven't done anything mean! We were perfect for each other!" she collapsed into tears again.
"Maybe we should ask some one who actually got dumped top comfort her." said Mia.
"Yeah, like Angelina Johnson." said Hermione. "She'd be able to-"
"NO!" cried Sienna. "That's who's dating *hiccup* him now!" More sobbing came.
At 9 o'clock and Sienna still hadn't stopped crying, so Kendall took Sienna up to her room piggy-back style.
"Maybe she'll sleep it off." said Zoe.
