Without blinking an eye, Draco broke Flint's wand, right in front of him. Flint stared at him in horror with his mouth wide open, he wanted to say something but couldn't find any words. The people in the ground were shocked none the less, breaking someone's wand was a big deal. People could even get punished for that but what mattered wasn't the law but their wizarding standard. Breaking someone's wand was equivalent to making that person their enemy, in Draco's case, since he was from a higher standing, it was equivalent to excluding him from the group. It was humiliation. Leaving the sophisticated meaning behind the action, it was insulting none the less.
"This is your punishment." Draco said throwing the broken wand towards Flint, "Just know, next time you point your wand towards the people I care about, the wand wouldn't be the only thing that'll break."
The Slytherin student looked a bit terrified as Draco suddenly stared at them.
"It's a misunderstanding." Blaise hurriedly spoke wanting to save the rest of the team because he knew that all this trouble started because of him, "It was just a simple argument between me and Weasly when suddenly Flint made it a big deal. Honestly, I don't know what his problem really is."
Blaise felt no shame and guilt putting all the blame on Flint and neither did any Slytherin students. Since they honestly believed that all of this could've been avoided.
"Che, really annoying," Draco said throwing Ginny's wand towards Blaise, "Go and hand it over to Ginny."
The Weasley twins and Ron perked up their ears when they heard Ginny's name, but they weren't sure if they should speak as the situation had turned completely weird. Blaise quickly nodded and went back inside the castle.
Draco looked at Flint who was staring at his broken wand, trying to pick it up again. Draco sneered, "Oh! How far jealousy can take you."
Pansy and Hermione wanted to stop Draco from going any further when suddenly Blaise returned with Professor McGonagall and Snape, dragging him from behind.
"What is going on here?" McGonagall said with a rough tone, "Never in my life here in Hogwarts, have I seen students fighting each other so openly."
Pansy pulled Draco to the side making him stand away from Flint while Draco was trying to figure out how did McGonagall found out about it.
No one spoke anything as things were too complicated, at one side the Gryffindors had a grudge against the Slytherins but with Draco, justice was served and they didn't want to really make an enemy out of Draco as for the Slytherins, they respected Draco too much to stand against him.
McGonagall came closer to them, only to find the tired Flint on the ground, who was sitting there silently with his broken wand in hand. She and snape quickly went over to Flint to check on him.
"Mr. Flint are you okay?" She asked but there was no response, Flint didn't even look at her in the eye.
Snape glared at Draco wanting an answer.
"I didn't do anything." Draco said, "Just because, I am here doesn't mean that..."
"Silent, Mr.Black." McGonagall stood up, when she heard a vomiting noise, She and Snape looked back at Ron to see him vomiting another huge slug on the ground, while Harry patted him on the back, trying to calm him down.
"Anyone want to explain, what is going on here?" Snape said looking at Harry, "I specifically remember, giving the Slytherin Quidditch team the permission to use the ground today."
Oliver the captain of the Gryffindor team wanted to say something but the girls from the Quidditch team stopped him, This was something too complicated to answer, considering how good at lying the Slytherins are, they will likely fall under the trap or will just end up pushing the blame on one another.
"Let me guess, you all were fighting over the ground." McGonagall said, "That would explain it but you should all know that these types of childish behavior won't be accepted at Hogwarts, especially you Mr. Black, I thought you'll be sensible than the rest of them."
"I don't even have a wand remember." Draco said waving his empty hands.
"Then, do care to explain, why are you here? Especially in that attire."
Draco looked down and realized that he was still in his night suit, and was standing there with messy hair.
"This, I wanted some morning exercise." Draco said thinking of a random excuse, "Since it is very early in the morning, I thought no one would notice."
"And how about the condition of Mr. Flint and Mr. Weasley over there?" McGonagall said sarcastically, "Do care to explain that as well."
"That I don't know." Draco lazily shrugged his shoulders, "They were already like this before I even came here."
The Gryffindors couldn't help but feel amazed at how shameless the great Draco Black was, the way he didn't even have any problem blaming other was the most shameless thing they had ever seen, especially coming from someone like Draco, but they realized that this shamelessness has shifted the blame towards other people, while Draco was just standing there like an innocent bystander.
McGonagall didn't believe Draco at all whereas Snape stared at Pansy wanting the answer,
"Flint fell off his broom causing him to break his wand, at the same time he accidentally shot out a weird spell which hit Mr. Weasley over there, causing him to start vomiting those...slugs. And we were sending Blaise to call for help when you came here with him."
"Ms. Granger is it true?" McGonagall asked Hermione who hurriedly nodded,
"Yes, Professor, it was an accident."
McGonagall wasn't still believing her and was still suspecting Draco. Snape even though he didn't want to make Slytherin seem bad, was looking at Draco wanting the real answer from him.
"You can check his wand." Draco said shrugging his shoulder, "Even if it's broken, you can still check what spell was shot from it, right? If I had my wand I can show you."
Snape sneered and picked up the broken wand from Flint's hand causing him to finally move his eyes. "I'll be sure to do that." He said, as he turned to the two guys in the Slytherin team and towards the Weasley twins, "You two, take him to the hospital, Weasley's do I need to send you an invitation to send your brother to the hospital wing?"
The student gathered up and picked Flint and Ron, and headed back inside the school.
"All of you head back to your dorm, as for you Mr. Black, change into your robes and follow me to the principal's office," McGonagall said.
Hermione and Pansy looked a bit nervous as they looked at Draco, but he, on the other hand, shook his head as he signaled them to go. Nodding one by one they finally left.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This is outrageous." McGonagall said, "First with Professor Lockhart and now in the playground. I admit that you might be the best among all the other students in Hogwarts but that doesn't give you the right to act the way you are doing right now."
"Professor McGonagall, Please calm down." Dumbledore said as he stared back at Draco who was sitting in front of him, "Do care to explain."
"As I said, I was just exercising," Draco said looking back at Dumbledore.
"And?"
"If you want to know about Lockhart then it's all true." Draco said, "But it's not out of personal vendetta or anything similar to that. He's just not that qualified for teaching anyone, myself included or excluded, whichever you prefer."
McGonagall seemed like she wanted to say something but she held back. She really believed in Dumbledore's judgment and was sure that Dumbledore wouldn't accept anyone out of the blue to be a teacher if he thought the person wasn't qualified but on the other hand, she had been keeping an eye on Lockhart since the incident but she couldn't help but find some truth in Draco's word as well.
