Who Terry and Hannah
What Detention!
Where Filch's trophy cases
When 2 ish
Why Because they're rebels!



Terry heaved his bag over his shoulder and started out of Potions. It was 1:30 and his detention was at two. He jogged through the halls, shoving people out of the way, and climbed the stairs to the Ravenclaw Tower. He jogged to his dorm, and heaved his stuff onto his bed, and slipped on different clothes. Classes were over, and he hated the uniforms they had to wear. The tie was always too tight, the shoes were too stiff, and the shirt had to be tucked in. He pulled on his orange Cannons shirt and his regular jeans. Finally, normal clothes. His shoes sat on the ground, waiting for him to slip them on. His black socked feet slipped inside and he started down the stairs to go to his detention. He saw a few first years coming in and one of them glared at him. Terry gave them a death glare and they all ran away, seeing as he was towering over them and he was older. Terry grinned and started out of the door towards the trophy cases. Great, a detention, at least he was with Hannah right?

When he arrived at the cases he didn't see anyone. Not even Filch. Terry heaved a sigh and sulked over to a wall to lean against. All this running around for nothing, he was early. Looking at the clock on the wall, it read 1:58. He shook his head and glanced around, when he saw a figure moving towards him, he smiled, but found it was Filch. "'ey you! You're ah...the trouble maker right?" he asked with an evil grin. His yellow teeth were crooked as he grinned at him, Terry flinched and scrunched his face up. "Yeah." he answered with a nod. Filch let out a cackle, but started to cough and looked up at Terry. "Where's that other one?" Filch asked with a frown. "She's coming." Terry answered with a nod and started towards the trophy cases. When he saw a girl jogging down on of the hallways he smiled. She was here, finally. "'ey you! You! No runnin' around in these corridors!" Filch shot at the girl. She slowed down and started to walk.

Hannah was tired, so ridiculously tired. She had spilt a bottle of ink during her last class and her shirt told everyone that sad story. She was basically a mess and she would've changed but she didn't want her and Terry to get into more trouble so she spilt the ink on her books, her shirt, just about everywhere, cleaned it up and ran the entire way to the detention and what did she get when she got there, scolded!

Hannah opened her mouth to shoot something back but Filch would just pile on more detentions for her so she shut up and slowed down until she neared him. She hadn't spotted Terry yet, so she didn't hide her obvious displeasure with today. She dropped her bag carelessly to her side and leaned back against the wall with a thump. Running her hand through her hair she finally looked around and! -- Terry! She felt her own embarrassment welling up. Her shirt was stained and she hadn't even bothered to use the spell she had on Terrys' shirt. She'd completely forgotten in her panic. "If only Eli could see me now." she thought softly, accidently mumbling it before she gave Terry a sheepish grin. "I uh, rough day." she concluded.

Terry watched as she neared them and grinned when he saw the stains on her shirt. "You didn't have time to use that spell-" he started but was cut off by Filch. "Come on now...we haven't got all day." he muttered under his breath. Terry made a face at him and started towards the case. "Now, no foolin' around, just polishing. Got it?" Filch asked angrily and shoved two cans of polish into them with a rag. He grinned and left.

Terry rolled his eyes and looked at the polish. "Yay." he said with a small smile and laughed. Slowly walking to the case, he slid the glass door open and reached for a trophy. Holding it up to read the names, he saw it was a quidditch trophy. House cup probably. The names were carved into the gold, but were hard to read. Terry took his rag and rubbed at them. One seeker, one keeper, and...Terry gaped at the two names he saw. Terance Boot - Beater and Winnie Hamper - Chaser. His parents. His eyes couldn't leave the names.

Hannah felt her lips quirk up into a smile when she saw Terry roll his eyes at the polish. This detention could be fun if it wasn't for Filch and his damn cat looming over them. She was looking forward to after their detention though. Her conversation with Eli was playing over and over again in her head. Sometimes she wished he could just interject into her thoughts instead of her having to seek him out. What about when she really needed him? Like now! She picked up her rag, reaching into the case and removing a trophy to scrub down. If Filch stayed here they'd never be done. Looking over her shoulder she saw Filch sulking around in the shadows before he left with a warning and Hannah sighed in relief.

"What's that?" Hannah asked curiously as she looked over at Terry. He had found something rather interesting judging by the way he was looking at that trophy.

Terry held the trophy and laughed quietly. "My parents on here." he said with a grin and pointed to the two names. "They never told me they played. My mum always complained about me playing, saying it was dangerous." he said with another laugh and started to polish it again. "They must've been good to win the cup," Terry added and looked at the house it belonged to. "Ravenclaw." he said with a nod and pointed to the house name.

His eyes scanned the rest of the trophies and he wondered if they'd won any other ones in their years at Hogwarts. They must've been good, he saw three others with their names. But, Hufflepuff was pretty good too back then, they also had quite a few. "So, how was your weekend?" he asked with a smile.

Hannah smiled, her parents hadn't played Quidditch so she wouldn't find any trophys with their names on em. She knew Grandpa Abbott played though, she could recall a countless number of times that he had perched himself at the head of the dinner table and proceeded to wow Hannah and her mum with such stories. Of course, her dad would just roll his eyes but she liked to listen to her Grandpa. "My parents didn't play." Hannah said as she scanned the trophy. "They both look like stringbeans, my dad is shorter." she informed him with a fond smile as she thought about her parents.. parent. She paused as she looked up and scanned the names in the trophy case. "My grandpa did but most of the stories he has told me were about falling off his broom so I don't know how good he was." she said with a laugh as she looked over at Terry.

"My weekend? Good. Eli and me stayed up late on Saturday." she said with a little laugh as she started to polish the trophy she had pulled out of the case once more. "I offered to fight him - I think I'd win in a fight right? I look tough, don't I Terry?" she asked, making a muscle that didn't seem to show despite her best effort. She let out a small laugh and grinned at Terry. She looked a bit disheveled, her petite figure was lost in the stained shirt and her hair was a bit messy from when she ran a hand through it moments before but she still looked cute all the same. It was hard not to laugh when she attempted to be strong though.

Terry nodded and laughed at her comments about her parents. "Well, if you saw my mom now, you'd never know she played. She's always been small, short, skinny." he said with a nod. "But, you can't judge a book by it's cover right?" Terry said with a laugh and finished cleaning the trophy. Setting back inside he reached for another one and laughed. "Really? Well, it isn't too hard to fall off your broom right?" he asked with a smile and sighed.

"What did you two talk about?" he asked with a grin. He knew they were best friends since almost day one, and, well it was funny that they could stay up and talk. "Hey, I dunno. He plays Quidditch." he said with a small laugh and shook his head. "So tough." he added in with a grin and held up his arms to flex. "How about me? Could I beat him up?" Terry asked and did different poses to show off.

"Ah, you know. Things." Hannah said with a nod, she couldn't exactly say 'Oh yeah we stayed up late talking about you!' - no that wouldn't work. "Hey now! C'mon he's all bony, I could crush him!" Hannah said before laughing, "No, no I couldn't, I could sit on his lap and he could push me off and not even realize it. I'm so weaaak" she said, playfully whining at him as she fixed a pout to her face.

"You, eh I don't know." she said reaching out and feeling his arm muscles. "Hrm" she said fixing a thoughtful expression on her face before quirking her head up at him and smiling. "I don't know, you'd have to have a go. I think it's even."

Terry laughed and shook his head while glancing at the rest of the trophies. "Well, what's things?" he asked with a smile. The way she looked, he could tell it was about someone. Terry was good with reading people. "Me?" he asked with an evil smirk. Eli and Hannah stayed up late talking about him. He knew it.

"Hey, you have to admit I could at least hurt him." he said with a nod and put his hands on his hips, the rag on his shoulder. Terry grinned and started to laugh quietly. "I wouldn't hurt Eli." he said and shook his head softly.

Hannah face immediantly flushed a brilliant red as she shook her head. "No." she squeaked as she turned away. Okay well, covering up was apparantly not going to work. Eventually she peaked up from her messy blond hair and looked at him. "Okay, maybe a little." she said, spacing her pointer finger and thumb an inch away from each other as she gave him a sheepish smile.

Hannah didn't confirm or deny that, instead she just smiled at him and turned back to shining her trophy. Eli could probably win in a fight if he ever chose to fight someone but Eli would never fight. Hannah hadn't ever really seen Eli mad, they'd gotten into about 2 fights throughout the course of their friendship. He was too sweet to fight, Terry reminded her of Eli but with an extroverted personality. That was their only difference, that and the way Terry made her feel when he looked at her like that, she felt her smile soften and her cheeks blush pink and she wanted to kiss him all over again. That would have the wait though, after all - this was detention!

Terry grinned and walked behind her. "You sure?" he asked quietly into her ear and poked her sides. He couldn't help but tease her a bit. They'd already kissed, so he had to make it a little less awkward. Terry ruffled her hair and went back to shining his trophy he'd started to work on earlier. Looking at the names he read them over, but he didn't recognise any of them. He just couldn't get over the fact that his mum played Quidditch.

He just gaped at her when she didn't say anything. "What's that mean?" he asked curiously and finished another trophy. Usually, no answer means you're wrong. Terry laughed and shook his head a bit. "Hannah, Hannah, Hannah." he said softly and set down another finished trophy. Dipping the rag into the polish, he started to shine another trophy.

Hannah felt all the air leave her lungs when he did that, either that or it caught in her throat and for however long he was behind her she was unable to breathe. Her skin broke out in goosebumps and she couldn't move or breathe or speak. How did he do that? When he went back to shining his trophy she turned around with a smirk on her face. "You're trouble, Terry Boot." she said with a small laugh.

Hannah remained silent and instead kept the smirk she had on, plastered to her face. "Terry, Terry, Terry." she said as she watched him dip his rag into the polish. She finished up her second trophy and put it back before moving over to him, she had to pay him back for the whisper in the ear, right? She walked behind him and traced her finger along his back. "I never said you were right but I never said you were wrong either." she said softly into his ear before continuing on her way to get another trophy to polish like nothing at all had happened.

Terry grinned at her and shook his head. "For what Ms Abbott?" he asked curiously with a mischevious grin. "And, what are you going to do?" he asked and followed her eyes as she looked at the trophy and then at him. Terry smiled and rubbed the rag on an old spot on the trophy covering up two names. This really wasn't that bad, he'd do it any day at any time. Plus, it was with Hannah and that made it twice as better.

He felt her finger running across his back, and he felt a shiver run down his spine. His breath caught in his throat, he just grinned. When she reached the other side of him, he watched her reach for another trophy and leaned down to her ear once more. "But, I'm always right." he whispered quietly and glanced at her hands working on the trophy. Terry smiled and looked into the case. Almost half way.

"I'm not sure, I'll figure it out." she said with the same mischievous smirk. This was fun, it wasn't bad at all. She had forgotten about the ink on her shirt and her uncontrollable hair - everything was okay for now. It was, it would be, it was going to be - it was just good.

Hannah practically dropped the trophy when he did that, her hands visibly faltering before she managed to regrip it and catch her breath. When she turned around she shook her head, "Oh, that was mean." she said with a small smile as she dipped her own rag into the polish and began to work on her trophy. "So, we're almost done. See, detention was easy as pie. It's cause we're amazing - I think." she informed him in a serious tone as she eyed her trophy.

Terry couldn't help but grin as she smirked at him and he sighed. "I guess so, but I don't know if I can wait." he said with a pouty face and continued on with cleaning his trophy. Terry forgot about her shirt, and messed up hair, she was cute all the same. He loved Hannah and he hoped he could tell her that today when they finished up with their detention.

When he saw her almost drop her trophy he grinned and said, "I try." Terry loved being mean, but it was all in a joking way. He never meant anything mean he said to her. He couldn't stand it. "We are amazing. We can finish something in a zap." he said with a nod and then laughed. "That didn't make any sense." Terry said with a small laugh and blushed.

"Awh, poor Terry, very impatient." she said in a childish voice as she grinned at him. She tucked a strand of blond hair behind her ear as she looked at him and let the butterflies in her stomach take hold. He was.. something else. Definately something else.

"Shut up." she said softly, as a bright red blush invaded her cheeks once more. That faded when he admited he hadn't made any sense though, she looked over at him and let out a soft laugh. "In a flash?" she said, offering him an alternative to zap with a grin and a nudge in the side.

Terry nodded and sighed. "You should just do it now to get it over with." he said with another nod and a small smile. He glanced at the trophy and saw that it was done. He nodded and set it back down in the case. Finally, they were almost done. If they each did about, two more, they'd be finished.

He saw the blush and laughed quietly. "S'what I meant." he said with a nod and shook his head. Terry was embarrassed, and he hardly ever got embarrassed. Usually he could laugh it off and it'd be all good. Setting the small trophy down, he noticed three very small trophies perched on a shelf up high. "Hey, let's just not do those." he said quietly and pointed to the trophies.

Hannah grinned and looked at him. "You read my mind, Bootsy." she said with a grin, putting the rag and polish to the side. She was so done with polishing trophies, she just wanted to go someplace and talk to Terry. Picking up her schoolbag she grabebd Terry's hand without even realizing it and grinned at him. "C'mon, let's go." she said giving his hand a light squeeze and smiling at the boy.

His hair was in his eyes and his eyes were looking directly at her and she smiled, softly and let her fingers intertwine with his.

Terry smiled and started away with her. When she grabbed his head he grinned and squeezed it back. He was glad they were done, cleaning trophies was hard. He felt her fingers intertwining with his and he smiled, Hannah Abbott was holding his hand. He smiled and looked at her. "So, what were you and Eli saying about me?" he asked curiously.

He was glad they were walking together and she was holding his hand. It was nice. He'd never really done this before, and doing it with Hannah made him feel good, happy kind of. He got chills just thinking about it.

"Well, I was saying how annoying you were and Eli was agreeing with me." she lied, looking over her shoulder at him as she started down the hall. "I'm just kidding though - I was talking to him about.. um.. how I got this detention.. and stuff." she said sheepishly, not sure if Terry would be offended that she had told Eli.

Turning a corner, she started listening to the sound her feet made as they hit the stone and it was then that she realized.. "Hey, where are we going?" Hannah asked Terry, turning around to look at him.

Terry grinned and laughed. "Well, what'd he say?" he asked with a curious look. Hannah and Eli did tell each other everything, and I guess the detention was everything right? But, Terry wasn't offended, he'd told Mandy so she had the right to tell Eli. They were best friends since the first year.

He just smiled when she asked. "Somewhere." he said queitly and continued to walk. He'd planned on going to the Room of Requirement, it'd give them what he wanted, a couch, fire, something to eat, drink. Terry loved that room.

"Oh, you know." she said sheepishly, waving it off as she looked over at him with a shy smile. She bit her lower lip as she continued to walk, she was nervous - Hannah always seemed to be nervous - it was annoying sometimes.

"Somewhere, huh?" she asked with a small smile, "where's that?" Truthfully Hannah hoped that that somewhere was outside - say the lake or something. She could start leading them that way but Hannah never really tried on a leaders shoes so she was content with where ever he wanted to go.

Terry couldn't help but feel a smile pulling at the corners of his lips. "Come on Hannah." he pleaded with a small sweet face. Terry was always good at pursuading someone to do something with his faces. His mum alway said he had the face of an angel and he could sway anyone's decision, but so far Hannah wasn't budging.

He thought a moment and started towards the Room of Requirement, when he saw that the door was visible, he could tell someone was inside. Heaving a sigh he looked over at her. "Outside." he said with a grin and nudged her as they continued on their way to the doors leading outside.

"Oh, now, that's not fair." she said, pointing a finger at him and shaking her head. "You can't use that face on me, it won't work." Hannah said, averting her eyes. It was working, it was working very well.

When Terry finally announced where they were going Hannah's face lifted and she gave him a big grin. "Really? Good, it's nice out. It's been nice out." she said, tugging his hand to get him to walk faster, she wanted to get outside.

He laughed at her complaint and he shook his head. "It is too! It's completely fair!" he argued with a nod and continued to make the face. Terry brought his head down and set it on the top of her's. "Please." he pleaded quietly and lifted his head to shake some hair out of his eyes.

Terry grinned at her excited expressions and laughed. "Alright alright, let's go!" he said happily and started to jog, letting go of her hand to that he could go faster. "Race you." he knew it was childish to 'race', but it was fun acting like a kid again, but, who in their right mind raced at age 17? Terry Boot did.

Hannah bit her lower lip and tried to keep it in. "I -- I -- this is not fair." she said with a small laugh and an exasperated sigh. "We just talked about -- um, well, you know. You and um how I um.. how I felt about you and .. stuff." Hannah said, blushing furiously as she turned her head away.

Ah, a race! Hannah could win. Hannah may have looked small but she had a lot of strength in her. She would win, she had to. "Alright! See you there." Hannah said, sticking her tongue out at him before smiling and taking off. She was almost out of sight within the first minute.

Terry felt bad now. She was obviously embarrassed at what they talked about, but he wanted to know. When she got it out, Terry nodded and smiled. "And..." he started, obviously wanting her to continue.

He laughed as she started off and passed him up. Terry was fast. He always beat the kids in his neighborhood at racing, he was always the fastest. Terry felt his legs moving faster, soon enough, he was up to where Hannah was. "Hey..." he said quietly and passed her up slowly.

Hannah felt her blush growing deeper and deeper, oh how she wanted to hide. She wanted to bury herself under mountains of blankets and never come out again. She wanted no one to rescue her except maybe Eli because she'd be willing to share the stash of chocloate she'd obviously bring with her under there with him. She'd invite Terry too but she'd have to leave her blanket mountain with a blush if she did.

"And.. well.." Hanah paused, it wasn't embaressing to admit it, was it? It wasn't like she had no idea what he thought about her, he had kissed her. "Well, I like you Terry Boot. As more then a friend, I like you more then that. I'm quite fond of you actually. I feel better whenever you're around which is a first. I mean, no one except Eli can do that for me but Eli's just my friend and you .. well .. you're something more." She said without thinking about it. She just parted her lips and started to speak and out came a tumbling flow of words.

When they started to race down the spiraling staircase Hannah thought she had won for sure and then! Terry passed her. She felt her blood rise as she tried desperatrely to catch up but she couldn't he was just too fast, far too fast. But she had to, she wanted to go to the lake and what if he disappeared outside and she couldn't find him? She felt a touch of panic rise within her but it soon faded when she realized she wasn't paying attention and had nearly collided with him. She hadn't though so instead she reached out and grabbed his arm to slow him down. She was out of breath and as she tried to catch it she wheezed out "You win."

Terry listened to her as she spilled what her and Eli had talked about. She liked him...more than a friend. Not just a best friend, like, a boyfriend. He felt his stomach lurch, making it feel like it landed near his throat. She was brave to say all of that, just, spill out to him. He hadn't really heard anyone say that to him ever. Sure, he'd have a girlfriend here and there, but it wasn't really...well she never really said that she actually liked him. It was mainly that he was a quidditch player, and he was good looking.

"I - I really like you too Hannah," he started and smiled at her. "Like...a lot. Whenever I see you my stomach ties up into knots and I can't think straight," Terry said with a small blush and laughed nervously. "That day on the Quidditch pitch, and when you fixed my shirt, those were the best days because I was with you." he finished and looked at her. "I know it sounds...really cheesy, but I'm not lying. I..." he started and then paused. He didn't know if he should say it. It was...well it was a little abrupt right? "I've liked you a long time - and I think - I think I love you." he finally spit out.

When he felt her pull on his shoulder he stopped and took deep breaths. "Good, I was about to die." he said with a smile and laughed as he caught his breath. "Luckily I didn't fall though right?" he asked with a grin and held onto the railing.
