Nothing could bother Adrian Selwyn. Nothing.
It wasn't the first time that he had gotten detention, but it would be the longest he would be in detention for. A month. His team had groaned when they heard that. Time spent in detention was time spent away from practice, and he was their captain and star player. But Adrian didn't seem to be worried about it. Ravenclaw didn't stand a chance against them in November, he would make sure of it.
So, this detention, like all of the others that had come before, meant nothing to him. It was just another attempt to control him, that's all.
He left Herbology class at three PM, and started to walk down the hallway at a leisurely pace. It was the end of the day, and everyone was hurrying outside to enjoy the sunshine and socialize with their friends. Usually, at this time of day, Adrian was heading to the Quidditch pitch to practice, even if his team wasn't available. Practice was everything to him, there was no time for socializing. Today, however, he was supposed to be at the greenhouses at four PM for his detention. He had some time to kill, but, as it wasn't enough time for him to get to the Quidditch pitch and practice, it was useless time to him.
"Any idea what Sprout is gonna make you do?" Regina Li, the Keeper of his team, asked, as she slung her book bag over her shoulder.
Adrian pushed his hands into his pockets, and shrugged. "No. But I'm certain it'll be a waste of my time," he drawled.
"Right. Well, I'll see you later." She turned down another hallway that led outside, and called over her shoulder: "Practice won't be as fun without you!"
Adrian didn't reply. He headed to the courtyard, where he leaned against the stone wall of the castle, and pulled an Alchemy book out of his bag. He read with a bored look on his face.
By the time it was ten minutes to four Adrian had finished the book. He was a fast reader, even with the other students in the courtyard making so much noise.
After shoving his book back into his bag, he made his way to the greenhouses. A few students that he sort of knew wished him good luck in his detention, but he pretty much ignored them. He didn't think that it would be that bad. It was Sprout, after all. A Hufflepuff. As far as he knew, she didn't have a mean bone in her body, so the worst he expected was a bit of chiding, and a menial task that he'd have to complete.
When he arrived at the main greenhouse, two first year students were just leaving. They had been talking excitedly, but, as Adrian passed by them, they immediately shut up and looked up at him as if he might shove them against a wall, or steal their lunch money. He simply continued on his way, entering the greenhouse, where Professor Sprout was tending to some Venomous Tentacula.
"Mister Selwyn. I must say I'm surprised you came. You can take a seat. We'll get started soon," she said, not even bothering to look at him.
"How about we start now?" Adrian replied coldly, as he stood his ground.
Now Professor Sprout looked at him. "We'll start soon, Selwyn. We have to wait till the others arrive."
Adrian arched an eyebrow. "The others?"
