Hey guys! Here's the new chapter!
________________________________________________________________________________________
"It's not my fault..."
"He called me..."
"I was just eating..."
"But was..."
"You are a..."
"Be quiet!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed, with the most furious and stern face I have ever seen on her face.
After all that brawl in the Great Hall, Professor McGonagall took everyone she found involved in the mess to her office.
When we arrived at her office, everyone started talking and arguing, trying to get rid of the guilt. And while that was happening, I sat quietly in my corner looking at everything calmly.
In the office were Professor McGonagall and I, obviously, the twins, Percy, Trent, Angelina, Alicia, Katie and Marietta Holland, the sixth year prefect.
"Now I want you to tell me WHY ARE YOU FIGHTING?!" Professor McGonagall began, screaming at the end.
"It all started with..."
"I was sit..."
"...When I saw..."
"...then they went and..."
"ONE AT A TIME!" Professor McGonagall yelled, growing angrier with each passing second, and I didn't even have to use empathy to notice.
She then began rubbing her temples, sighing wearily.
"You can start, Mr. Weasley," she said pointing to Percy as she sat down in her chair.
A black eyed Percy then took a step forward, while straightening his tie trying to make himself 'presentable', and started talking.
"Well teacher, I was sitting down, having breakfast, when I saw this little offender and troublemaker..." he said, looking at me, "making a mess on the Gryffindor table. And I, like a good student and a prefect, I politely asked him to leave our table and..." here he stopped when he heard someone cough something that sounded like "lie".
"Do you disagree with him, Mr. Night?" Professor McGonagall asked me, who was looking at Percy bored.
"Do I disagree?" I huffed, "The only true part of his 'story' is the part where he said he was a prefect" I said mockingly.
"Oh, and what would be the truth then?" she asked me.
"Because we don't wait for little Percy to finish his story" I said, speaking 'story' as sarcastically as possible.
"Hmm alright" Professor McGonagall nodded. She then turned to the red-faced Percy and said, "You may continue, Mr. Weasley."
"Ahem! As I was saying... I was asking Mr. Night to leave our table when he started cursing and making fun of me, and so I had to deduct 10 points from him for the disrespect. So my brothers started to defend him, and I had to scold them" Percy stopped to catch his breath, "And while I scolded my brothers, Mr. Night here yelled at that barbarian that I was offending his mother" he said, first pointing at me and then at Trent, who grunted at being called a barbarian.
"He did that?" Professor McGonagall asked, looking at me slightly. And I, who saw no point in lying, just shrugged.
"Yeah" Percy nodded, "And then he..." he pointed at Trent, "came towards me, and without giving me time to explain, attacked me!" he finished, pointing to his bruised face.
And I had to congratulate him, for being shameless enough to omit the parts where he was wrong.
"That's a lie!" Trent exclaimed.
"Then why don't you tell us what happened?" Professor McGonagall offered.
"He cursed my mom and punched me!" Trent said, in the easiest and simplest way to understand.
"Sigh" Professor McGonagall began to massage her temples even more. She then looked at all of us, before her gaze landed on me.
"What do you have to say to that? Do you disagree with them or do you have something to add?" she asked me.
"Yes," I shrugged, "I said I heard a rumor that Mr. Prefect over there cursed the Mr. Trent mother, and since it's a rumor, I have no way of knowing his veracity. And apart from that, the rest of the story is basically a lie," I finished, ignoring the twins' surprised look.
"Why did you talk about this…rumor, that Mr. Weasley cursed Mr. Trent's mother? And which part of the story is a lie?" Professor McGonagall asked me.
"I brought up the rumor because I thought Mr. Trent should know about it, and also because Percy was pissing me off. And the parts of the story that Percy lied were the omitted parts where he didn't 'politely' ask me to leave the Gryffindor table, but demanded, and this still continued even after I reminded him that there was no rule that forbade me to sit at tables of the other houses. And even so, he still took 10 points off me saying I was disrespecting him, and when the twins came to defend me, since they were the ones who invited me to the table, Percy started berating them" I said, and out of the corner of my eye I could see Percy go pale and scared, "And he forgot to tell you he was the first to punch in the fight with Trent" I finished, looking at Percy with a smirk.
'At least that fact no one can prove I was the culprit, hehe' I thought as I hid my vindictive smile.
"That's true?" Professor McGonagall asked, and Percy didn't even have time to deny it before the twins and the three chasers nodded.
"Miss Holland?" Professor McGonagall called the prefect who accompanied us.
"I didn't see or hear all the fuss, Professor McGonagall, but I actually heard Mr. Weasley being rude to Mr. Night, who wasn't making any fuss in the Gryffindor table. And Mr. Weasley was actually the first to punch Mr. Trent" Holland replied, and Percy paled even more.
"Sigh... And why, Mr. Weasley, were you arguing with Mr. Night? And why did you punch Mr. Trent?" Professor McGonagall asked the pale boy, who was on trembling legs, but received only silence in response.
"Sigh...Alright" she looked at Percy in disappointment.
Professor McGonagall then turned to the twins and the three Chasers.
"As you weren't involved in the mess, I'll leave you out of punishment," Professor McGonagall told them, causing three sighs of relief from the girls and two shrugs from the twins. She then turned to me, Percy and Trent, "Already you three…"
As soon as she looked at us, I could feel Percy's fear and nervousness.
"Since Mr. Weasley has already deducted 10 points from you, Mr. Night, I'll leave that as your punishment. For Mr. Trent, even though you weren't the main cause of the fuss, you were still involved in the fight, and that will be 10 Gryffindor points too" I didn't mind too much about the loss of points, since if everything went like the canon, Dumbledore would be kind enough to 'donate' some points to Gryffindor.
But my lack of reaction to losing the points wasn't the same for Trent, who was torn between being angry while staring at Percy, and being worried, as it diminished Gryffindor's chances of winning the House Cup.
"And for you Mr. Weasley…" Professor McGonagall continued, looking grimly at Percy over her glasses, causing the redheaded Prefect to fluster, "I'm incredibly disappointed in you, especially since you abused your privileges as prefect, the same privileges I chose to give you"
I kept seeing from the side that the more Professor McGonagall talked, the more Percy got nervous and sad.
"I'd take your Prefect badge, but I still have a little faith that you'll start acting more responsibly... But that doesn't change the fact that you're the one who started this mess, and so I'll withdraw your privileges to go to Hogsmead this yearand and I'll deduct 20 points from Gryffindor" Professor McGonagall said, looking grimly at Percy but with a slight disappointed look on her face.
And Percy, who had been nervous throughout the meeting, sighed in relief to learn that he would not be removed from his post as Prefect. But when he heard the rest of the punishment, he immediately acquired a shocked expression.
But he should have known he couldn't change that punishment, and so he remained silent.
"Well, now that the mess has been resolved and all punishments have been handed out, you can go," Professor McGonagall waved us off. And with that, everyone in the room got up and started walking towards the door.
As we left Professor McGonagall's office, we all started going in different directions in silence, with Percy staring at me the entire time. And I just smiled vengefully at him before ignoring him.
'Well... I think it was totally worth creating that fight' I thought, satisfied with the chaos I caused.
End.

(End AN: Another chapter for you, my beautiful and cute readers!
After reviewing the chapters I've already written, I realized that Ethan's first year, and first book, will end with 130 chapters!
It may seem like a lot, and it is, but the next years and books won't be that long, as the first year had a lot of information dump. Also, as I said at the beginning of the book, this first year would also be supportive for me as it would dictate how I would continue the story. Well, thanks everyone for reading my story.
Oh! I almost forgot... Savage: The Night Wizard reached 100 CHAPTERS!!! *Applause and cheers*
Thanks again everyone!!
Hope you like the chapter!)
