Detention, Depths of the Castle, Monday

Morning had broken in Fandom, and another day in detention was about to begin, the same as every other day.

For the moment, things were as quiet as they probably ever got, while everyone was still resting on their cots, women on one side of the magical black cloth barrier, men on the other. Soon, those who had managed to sleep would be woken by the ever-cheerful voice of Dolores Umbridge coming from the loudspeakers, ordering them to rise. The barrier would disappear, and whatever bland, tasteless substance they were calling breakfast today would appear instead. After that, those in detention were free to do whatever they wanted ... if they could find anything to do that didn't break one of the island's rules, or that could be done while trapped away from everyone else.

But really, the days of those in detention weren't that slow. Soon enough, visiting hours would start, and there wouldn't be nearly as much boredom then.

"Better than a noose, Bruce." Leda told him sagely. But this girl couldn't stay serious for long. Her straight face dissolved into a dreamy smirk. "But I like your attitude. Ev'ry one else here's sooooooo serious."

"I'm at the whim of Raven," Bruce said happily. "I think she's making me be happy so I'll annoy everyone around me."

And also keep him from becoming a giant green embodiment of rage. Can't forget that either.

"Well then she has failed! 'Cause you're not annoying me y'see." She then proceeded, for no particular reason to quote Shel Silverstein.

"I will not play at tug o' war.
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins."

Leda believed she had remained unbroken by Umbrage.
