Harry Potter and the Prince of Slytherin 140 Club.

"His story books you mean?" Draco said, "Nothing but a waste of paper, I would say. The story might be interesting but if that's what we're learning this whole year then I would like to be happily expelled."

"I can see your concerns in that but these day's Professor Lockhart has been teaching, what a second-year student should be learning," Dumbledore said.

"It's all an act." Draco said, "After complaining against me with the school board, he needs proof to show that he isn't incompetent, doesn't he?"

Dumbledore stayed silent for a while, "So what do you plan on doing then? If Professor Lockhart can prove that he is qualified, wouldn't that be bad for you?"

"It will but that won't happen." Draco said, "I am sure you have your suspicions or you're just pretending to not see it but you don't have to worry about me in the least and as for the students who followed me, I'll be sure to take full responsibility of them."

Dumbledore kept quite as both he and Draco stared at each other for a while,

"Fine, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt." Dumbledore said sighing, "You can run your club openly after this and if any of the students fail in the class, it will be up to you to take that responsibility. But be sure to remember that every action will evidently have its consequences. ."

Draco didn't know what he was talking about and before he could ask, Snape entered the room, with Flint's broken wand in hand.

"It was Flint who chanted the Slug-vomiting charm." Snape said placing the broken wand on the table in front of Dumbledore, "As for Flint himself, he hasn't said anything, I am guessing the trauma from the fall has severely affected him."

Dumbledore nodded. "Mr. Black, you're free to go now then."

Draco nodded and stood up from the chair, nodding at Dumbledore he walked out of the room with Snape following him out.

"So mind telling me, what is going on?"

"What do you mean?"

"Flint didn't just cast the slug-vomiting charm but he chanted different jinx at the time as well, suggesting that it wasn't an accident or are you telling me that a falling person can chant a complex curse and a jinx subconsciously one after another?"

"Magic is amazing isn't it?" Draco said averting the topic, "Some people say that they awaken magic when they are put in a dangerous position but after they learn the same magic as they get older, the magic doesn't work in the same way and they get killed if they don't have any wand to defend them self with."

"What are you going on about?"

"Nothing much, just a couple of experiments that I've been performing." Draco said and before Snape could say something else he passed him a pouch, Snape caught the pouch and looked at Draco.

"I need you to take care of it." Draco said, "It's pretty much useless right now so traveling with it will be pointless, and I don't want it to fall under dirty hands if something goes wrong. I'll be taking my leave now, I still have to catch up on my sleep."

Yawning Draco quickly entered the dorm leaving Snape alone. Snape sneered as he looked at the pouch and just as he suspected, it was the philosopher's stone.

-------------------------------

Inside the dorm, Pansy, Daphne, Ginny, and Hermione were in the living room.

Draco nonchalantly entered the room as he sat in the chair opposite of them. The girls looked at him anxiously.

"What happened?" Pansy asked.

"I am getting expelled." Draco said sighing, "I'll leave Hogwarts today."

"How can they?" Daphne suddenly stood up.

"Yeah, I mean, even if you were doing something extreme... it was Flint's fault, to begin with." Hermione said, "You were protecting me, I am sure if we explain that to Dumbledore, he would understand."

While the girls were getting nervous they suddenly heard Draco scream in pain, "OW!! Stop pinching me."

Pansy let go of Draco's cheek as she looked at the girls, "If he was really getting expelled, do you think he would be so sad and dramatic about it?"

Thinking for a while, the girls realized that they were getting fooled by Draco as they angrily looked at him.

"Okay! Okay! Calm down, I'm not getting expelled and as for the incident it's better if we don't talk about it." Draco said, "We all know that he deserved it."

Ginny who was already filled with information agreed with Draco but Hermione wasn't having it.

"But that doesn't mean you should break his wand." She said, "Every time you do extreme things, first on the train and now this..."

"Don't get burdened by it." Draco said, "He had it coming and besides what he said was the final trigger for me. Just think of it as me doing it for myself than for you."

"But..."

"I would've still done the same if I had found out about it later on." Draco said, "You might be upset at me which I totally understand but you and I both know that it will not change me."

"Sigh! I'll forgive you one last time." Hermione said, "But just know that I can fight my fights by myself."

Draco nodded smiling, "I've got good news though, the club got accepted, so you can join in as well."

"Really?" Hermione asked getting a bit excited, "So have you planned what it's going to be and how we are going to do it?"

"Don't worry, this year is just the beginning so we don't have to go full on for the club and I'll be really busy so let's take it slow."

"Can I join?" Ginny who was silent asked. She was really interested in joining the club ever since she heard the students talk about it and now it is open so she really wanted to join as soon as she could.

"Sorry, one of the criteria is being a second year, since most first-year don't even know what magic is." Draco said, "But don't worry, if you work hard enough you can join in next year."

Ginny was a bit upset when she heard the first sentence but after hearing the second she nodded getting determined.

As Draco was about to say something else, Theodore walked in the room covered in dust.

"Where have you been?"

"Don't ask." Theodore said, "I am going to take a shower."

"Pretty sure you'll need to use a couple of spells for that." Draco said to Theodore as he tiredly walked inside the room.

"What's up with him?" Pansy said.

"Oh! I nearly forgot we need to help Ron." Hermione said, "I completely forgot about it due to your joke."

"We? Didn't he move to the hospital wing?" Draco said, "I am sure, Madam Pomfrey could take care of that."

"No, he was too embarrassed to go there. He kept vomiting slugs on the way." Hermione said, "I looked into the spells but I can't help him. Please! I am sure you know the cure to the stuff. He's with Harry at Hagrid's."

"I thought you weren't talking to him?"

"Yeah! I..."

"I see that's how it is." Draco said fakely pouting, "He gets forgiven for trying to do what I did and I get a final warning? Where is the justice in that?"

"I... Hey, are you really trying to make me say sorry?" Hermione said, "You know that I didn't mean it in the wrong way right?"

"You seemed pretty serious to me, right Pansy?"

"Yes." Pansy nodded going along with what Draco said.

"I...Fine don't help me then." Hermione went away fuming as she closed the door.

Draco and the others laughed, "By the way, you got back your wand right?" He asked after a while.

"Yes." Ginny nodded, waving her wand.

"It's a really good wand." Draco said, "It gave me a lot of resistance while using it."

Ginny not understanding still nodded.

"Where are you going?" Daphne asked seeing Draco stand up.

"I need to have a talk with Hagrid and this feels like a good opportunity." Draco said leaving, "Make sure to save me some food in the hall."
