𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐋 had been unleashed at Hogwarts, Mongrel is a crazy streak. She's going CRAZY. Bro just gave me like 3 months worth of detention cause I'm being a rebel. I told her I wanted to resign this stupid prefect post but that bitch said I can't, of course why would she miss an oppertunity to torture a student.

Now I was walking to hell, basically Transfiguration class. The thing is that, I have to be literally the most perfect human being in this class. If I sit weirdly, if I cough or sneeze or if I zone out or half-asleep I'll get sent out of class for being a disturbance.

I SWEAR SHE LITERALLY SENT ME OUT OF CLASS BECAUSE I SNEEZED IN THE MIDDLE OF HER VERY IMPORTANT WORLD CLASS LEVEL SPEECH ABOUT 'INANIMATUS CONJURUS'. Dude like what? Get a life, I can't control my sneezing, it's natural like my beauty.

Me and my roomies were hesitating to enter class, we were 4 minutes late and we were deciding who should open the door and ask for permission. "She hates me already, I can't do it, JJ come on you ask her permission" I begged him.

"You think she loves me? Yesterday I accidentally pushed her because I thought a student pushed me but it turned out to be her, I still haven't recovered from that. Plus I know she knows me from that incident" Jared explained.

"Bro, I can't believe yall are making a fuss for this" Val said and opened the door and said, "Professor, may we come in?"

"No you may not Mr. Anderson, do you know the class timings or haven't you received your time table? Hasn't it been over a month since school started?" She asked in a sassy voice. "It's not like we want to attend her class anyways just backup Val" Lorcan whispered and we all gave a quiet giggle.

"MR. SCAMANDER CAN YOU REPEAT WHAT YOU SAID? WHAT JOKE CAN BE THAT FUNNY?" Mongrel screamed. "Shit" Lorcan muttered. "Lysander Scamander, CAN YOU REPEAT WHAT YOU SAID?" She commanded. BRO, LORCAN SAID IT NOT ME? WHY AM I ALWAYS THE ONE TO BLAME?

"I-" I started and she cut me off and said, "DETENTION! AND TEN POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR FOR EACH OF YOU, so that rounds off to 50 points lost in a minute doesn't it?" She said as she gave a cruel smile and some Gryffindor students let off a sigh of grief. "Now leave before I take 20 more points away" Mongrel threatened us. "LEAVE!" The gryffindor students said in a chorus as the Slytherins were laughing.

We closed the door and stood out of the class. "That fuking psychopath, I just can't- I CAN'T I WANNA KILL HER HELP ME " Jared said annoyed. "Jared's angry? Dude it's going to rain" Hugo said looking at the clear blue sky.

"She's just a psycho bro. There's nothing we can do- I can't deal with her shit and neither can the other professors" I said, sighing. "Except Barlow, rumor has it that they're dating" Val said. "Yeah" I said as I chuckled, me and Potter were the creators of those rumors.

"May I acknowledge this meeting happening during class hours" Professor McGonagall said in her stern voice. "Mong- I mean Professor Mongrel sent us out because we were four minutes late" Val explained. "Punctuality is a very important aspect of discipline" she started. Oh no, I just can't do this disciplinary speech shit, just no. "But professor we were late because we were held up by the DCJs" Jared said.

"Did you inform her?" She asked. "Well we tried explaining but her fuc- I mean according to her we were wasting her precious class hours so she took 50 points from Gryffindor and kicked us out" Val said.

"No one can control her. Everytime I advise her she just defends herself, I tell her to go easy on the students but she doesn't want to listen. She has the support of the ministry and the ministry thinks it's good for having such discipline for making Hogwarts an elite magicals school" McGonagall sighed. We could just see it on her face that she was tired of Mongrel's overrule.

"Can we get her fired by starting a protest or something?" Val asked. "Well Mr. Anderson if you're interested in expulsion you can go ahead" McGonagall replied with a weak smile, for some reason she reminds me of my grandma.

"It's not good having a bunch of students missing classes like this, why don't you take a seat and self-study, I'll talk to the professor in today's meeting" Professor McGonagall said as she walked away.

"I wish McGonagall was our Professor, Mongrel is shit. If I stand out like this the whole of 5th year how am I going to pass my O.W.L.s?" Jared sighed. "Why are yall complaining? I think it's awesome that we don't need to see that face. Even if I do attend class she's going to make me stand and ask a question and 99% I won't be able to answer it and she'll just make me stand the whole period, this is honestly better" Lorcan said.

"I complained to mom so many times about Mongrel, she just doesn't care. Apparently, she has much more important duties" Hugo said. "Apart from the minister of magic approving a certain decision. She doesn't have monarchical powers, even if she wants to make a decision, other departments and ministers have to support the idea, your mom is not the deciding authority. She can suggest but others have to agree with her" I explained.

"And half of the ministry higher officials are old hags who love torturing the younger generation" Jared said. "Facts bro" I said. "We should just stop yapping and maybe study for the test we have next period" Hugo said yawning. "WE HAVE A TEST?!" Hugo and Val asked in a chorus.

"Potions right?" Jared asked. Hugo nodded and Val muttered "shit". "Bro, please don't study. I want someone to fail with" Lorcan begged Val. "I'm not going to study, even if I do nothing is gonna get inside my air-head. Last minute studying is a waste, I'll just enjoy life while it lasts" Val said.

"You guys better start getting serious O.W.L.s is not a joke" Hugo said. "You're becoming a boring nerd, Hugo" Lorcan complained. "Guys can we just have a silent group study session?" Jared asked.

We eventually brought ourselves to an agreement to sit down and study, well of course we ended up yapping about Mongrel. Class had ended and the students came out. Diana came walking towards us, "Late again" She said. "The DCJs and plus why wouldn't Mongrel pass an opportunity to send us outta class" Val said as he got up and started talking to his girlfriend.

"He's flexing that he's taken and we're single" Lorcan whispered into my ear. "Who asked?" I replied. "Sorry, wrong text" Lorcan said and conveyed the same message in Hugo's ears. "Lets go to potions at least. Get up guys" Val said as we all got up and started walking towards the dungeons.

"Scamander" Lily called me. I gave her a look. "We need to talk" she said as she walked into an empty classroom and I followed her like a cat. "Yeah?" I asked her. "I don't know what feud you have with Mongrel but, 50 points? That's something serious for our house" she said with her raging eyes.

"You're blaming me for coming 4 minutes late? We got held up by the DCJs" I asked her with an attitude. "WHY? Why did they catch you? Cause you were not proper. You're a prefect now Scamander be more serious, you have more eyes on you now" Lily said as she raised her voice. "You know Mongrel is a psychopath don't you" I asked her as I squinted my eyes and shrugged in disbelief. Dude why is she questioning me?

"Well Keres and the other prefects don't get targeted? Why can't you be like that too? Who do you think you are? You really think you can change the system by acting like a jerk and losing points?" She asked. "Uh, no. But really, I don't like licking her shoes. Maybe you all are born to be slaves but I'm different" I said.

"DIFFERENT? YOU'RE NO DIFFERENT FROM ME! I HATE HER AS MUCH AS YOU BUT SHE HAS MORE AUTHORITY YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT IT AT SOME POINT OF TIME AND RESPECT HER" Lily screamed. "Like I said" I said sternly as I lost my chill. "I can't be her puppet, you can lick her shoes but I can't lick off that dirt" I completed.

"We're in this together Scamander can't you understand that? If you go wild I'll be blamed too" She said in fury. I laughed, I took a moment and laughed. "So, again this is about you isn't it? Oh gosh I really saw that coming" I said, clapping hysterically.

"I-" she started and with my eyes half closed in digust I said, "Just fuck off please, do me a favour. I'm not going to listen to you anyways" I said as I walked out of the room. What a jerk. Bro, like I can't believe 2 minutes ago I liked her, she's such a bitch.

I walked quickly to catch up with my roomies. I still hadn't recovered from our fight. Maybe I was too harsh? What kind of a person am I? I- I like her and I just lost my cool and I- I screwed up, but really I don't want to lose myself to her. Maybe we're not meant to be- Maybe I'm the problem. I started overthinking the whole situation as I walked like a zombie through the corridors.

Then someone pulled my collar and dashed me against the wall, ahhhhhh, sweet middle school memories of getting bullied. I was staring at Leo's face and his sidekick Asher was standing beside him. "Hey Ash! Long time no see!" I said sarcastically as if I was concerned for his well-being. Leo punched me on my nose. Ouch, that kinda hurt.

"What's your deal?" I asked as I lifted my head up to prevent the bleeding of my nose. "Well, that's for losing points on behalf of all the Gryffindor students" Leo said and walked away with Asher giggling. Dude, why is everyone targeting me? I'm such a poor soul. This is exactly why we can't have nice things because when I try to help them they target me.

I mended my nose with a swish of my wand and walked to the dungeons, I walked into class and sat next to Jared. He looked at me and widened his eyes as he saw my white uniform. "Bro, blood" he said as he pointed at my shirt, terrified. "It's ketchup" I said as I cleaned it with magic.

"Dude, did you get beaten up and you did nothing about it?" Jared asked. "I said leave it" I said, giving him a glare.

I remain aloof for the whole day. The Gryffindor students were just giving me weird stares and many of them started talking and whispering about me and the worst part they're not even trying to hide it. Did they forget my roomies were with me too? Why are they blaming the whole thing on me? All this while I was so nice to them I even bent the rules for all of them and now I got betrayed by everyone.

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS. CAUSE YOU GOTTA BREAK THEM AND NOW I HAVE TO TAKE THEM AWAY...

My life is just descending into new depths of hell. I can't do this anymore. I silently did my homework in the library trying so hard not to break down. Trying to forget everything which happened today. I feel lonely, again after quite a long time. My roomies are not really helping me right now. I'm the one who has to give my blood for them, I hate this.

After homework I walked to the prefects meeting. In the corridor some dude was talking about how the great Lysander Scamander managed to take away 50 points for coming 4 minutes late. Apparently it was a record which wasn't even broken by James Sirius Potter. THIS IS SHIT THIS IS BULLSHIT. Today is just a bad day.

I walked into the classroom and sat next to Lily. She gave me a stink eye and ignored my presence. OH FUCK THIS ACTUALLY HURTS... I slowly peered over and gave a look at Lily. She was writing some notes.

"Good afternoon students" Mongrel said as she walked in along with Rose and Scorpius by her side. We all got up and wished her back. "Ok so, head girl, you can address the one month progress after the proposal and brief of the prefects" she said and Rose started giving this BORING speech about what happened in a month.

"So, there has been a lot of leniency in the system" Mongrel said and looked at me, "Mr. Scamander care to explain?" She said, I got up and gave her a stare, "I ju-" I started and she cut me off and said, "Mr. Scamander will you ever just stop defending yourself? Just stop. Can you do me a favor dear? Accept your mistake" she said slamming the table. I just gave her a blank expression and said, "I want to resign, please grant me permission" I requested her in the kindest possible way.

"Mr. Scamander, if you can't even handle this pressure, what are you going to do in the future when you get a job? Your seniors might be like me, how will you manage them? This is a learning experience" Mongrel said. "Don't expect me to do my job then" I said, raising my brows. I could see Scorpius trying to convey something to me through some actions.

"Scamander I'm being very respectful right now, don't make me-" she started, "My ass" I said and some people gasped while some bent under the tables to laugh. "Mr. Scamander to the headmistress office, NOW!" She screamed.

This feud ends today. I walked to the headmistress's office and told the password, "Phineas Black" and entered. Mongrel accompanied me and both of us stood in front of Professor McGonagall. "Good evening Minerva" Mongrel greeted her. "Good evening" she greeted back as she laid down her quill. "We need to handle this situation, he's getting out of hand. He's using foul language, disrespecting teachers, breaking the rules, no punctuality and I can go on" Mongrel complained.

"Mr. Scamander, is this true?" McGonagall asked me. "I give respect to all my teachers except her because I don't think she's qualified enough to be my teacher professor. I don't break any rules and I really want to perform my duties properly without misusing them but she's targeting me in classes and she's purposely bringing me down and creating scenarios" I stated.

GETTING THAT OUT FELT SO GOOD.

"Mr. Scamander, no matter what personal issues you have, she is your Professor and a coordinator of Hogwarts you must respect her, I'll leave you off with a warning and your parents will be informed" McGonagall said. WHY? DUDE, WHY AM I STILL THE BAD GUY?

I walked out of the headmistress's room and Mongrel said, "Life is not easy Scamander, no one is going to dance to your tunes. Forgiveness and acceptance is a good thing" she said.

I COULDN'T EVEN STOP LAUGHING WHEN SHE SAID THAT. DUDE LIKE- WHAT- HAHAHA. FUCK HER.

I went to detention with Val and Lorcan to Mongrel's office. It was just disgusting cleaning her weird dusty drawers filled with black ick.

Now, I was at the astronomy tower, it was deserted. I just stood there leaning on the pillars drinking some ice lemon tea. I hate my life. But that's not going to stop my passion for hating Mongrel. Some people are just bitches, they'll get whatever they want. Life is unfair, Karma is fake. Life is fake. Love is fake.

But I'm ready to endure all this shit and correct this rotten world.

But then a deep thought started drowning me

No matter how many friends you have, they are all just- there. Temporary— Everyone just uses you. I don't think my roomies want me anyways. I told them all this shit and they did nothing. They probably only care about me because I let them copy off my homework. Lily just needs some guy to shit too but now she hates me too so that's gone.

I'm once again, lost and lonely

Perhaps, I got too attached. This is exactly why I'm afraid to love and feel affection, because I know once I get possessive and if I lose it. I'll break— and I don't think I can take that kind of emotion at any point of time.

Either way Mongrel assigned me with a night load of work and I have a night to pull. I walked down to the student council room and started doing the paperwork. I was still overthinking and overthinking about all this. I screwed up. Maybe I was wrong- Maybe I did act a bit immature.

Then someone walked in and pulled a chair next to me. I was too weak and overwhelmed to see who had come to pick on me.

"I'm sorry" Lily said. "I told you quite a long time ago to fuck off" I said writing my paper work seriously. "Look at me" Lily said. "I'm not your boyfriend I don't need your care or pity" I said annoyed. She split my paperwork bundle and started doing my paperwork. "CAN YOU STOP LIKE PLEASE. JUST GO! LEAVE ME ALONE! IF I DON'T DO THIS SHE'S GONNA PICK ON ME AGAIN AND YOU ALL WILL HAVE YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND ACT LIKE YOU'RE ALL OK WITH WHAT A BITCH SHE IS" I screamed at her.

Fear crept on Lily's face, she was tearing up. She was trying so hard to not let tears come out of her eyes. Oh gosh my freaking anger, "Potter- I" I started and Lily said, "I told you I'm sorry" she sobbed as her uncontrollable tears flowed down her green eyes.

SEDUCING ME WITH TEARS AND HER CUTE PUFFY EYES. I HATE THIS- I HATE THE FACT THAT I WILL WORK- I HATE THE FACT THAT HER ENCHAN— I SHOULD STOP YAPPING TO MYSELF.

"Sorry I- I- didn't I just wanted to be- normal. I didn't want to oppose her- I chickened out. I just didn't want you to get into trouble-" she sobbed. "Can you stop? Please? I'm really sleepy right now and you're just-" I said, letting out a sigh.

"It's just so scary and sad when you scream at me, it's as painful as my dad scolding me" she sobbed. Am I really that important to her?

"Just say that you accept my apology" she said. "Whatever, just stop crying. I feel like a jerk who made a girl cry" I said, rubbing my eyes in tire.

Keres some on bro, you're girl is crying and you're sleeping in your dorm peacefully while a guy like me is hanging out with her. What kind of a boyfriend are you?

Then a group of people ran inside and closed the room door. "Students out of bed" Lily said, wiping her tears in a serious tone. "It's just us" Val said as my roomies turned. "Did we interrupt something?" Lorcan asked giggling and Jared elbowed his stomach. "What were guys up to?" Lily asked.

"Look at this face" Val said, pointing at mine. "Bro's been depressed ever since we lost 50 points. We kind of planned a secret surprise for him since he kind of took some blood for us" Jared said. A sense of joy overflowed over me. ME? FOR ME? I thought like a child waiting for a Christmas present.

"We kinda set Mongrel's quarters on a firework party-" Val said. "Her classroom is filled with pink glitter and it smells like glue" Lorcan said. "We kinda set up some dungbombs in her office too-" Hugo completed the whole story. They're so sweet- I can't believe I called them traitors- I guess it's just my overthinking disorder. I got too emotional, yuck.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME ARE YOU INSANE YOU BITCHES, I'M A HUMAN TOO!" Lily screamed as she shook Val. "You're a prefect, I can't trust you. Plus after Ly told you about you scolding him, like nuh uh you're a jerk, traitor and bad news" Val said.

"Look I-" she started. "DETENTION MS. POTTER FOR TALKING BACK!" Lorcan screamed mocking Mongrel and we all cracked up cause that was so freaking accurate.

Ok Lysander, today was just a bad day with a promising ending... It's just so ironic how all that overthinking was such a waste at the end of the day... We are all just puzzle pieces of life and it is what it is.
