Maddison knew that she couldn't let Kole's actions go unnoticed, especially since she was a prefect and had a responsibility to uphold the school's rules. As they walked away from the scene, she whispered to her brother, "You know I can't save you from this."
The weight of her words was heavy, and Kole knew that his actions had consequences. "I understand," he replied solemnly as Maddison urged him to go to his common room and stay there.
Watching as Maddison headed towards a professor's office, Kole couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over him. He had messed up, and he knew there was no way of getting out of it. Meanwhile, the boy who had been pinned to the ground by Kole was left to pick himself up and collect his dignity, feeling a mix of embarrassment and relief that the situation had been diffused.
Maddison felt a heavy weight on her shoulders as she walked towards Professor Elling's office. Recounting the events that had transpired between Kole, Alex, and the rest of the students felt like a daunting task, but she knew it was her duty as a prefect to do so.
As she explained the situation to the professor, Maddison recommended that Kole receive detention for his actions. Although she knew it was the first time her brother had acted out like this, it was still a serious offense that needed to be addressed.
Thankfully, Professor Elling listened to Maddison's reasoning and agreed that Kole's punishment should not be any worse than what Alex had received. The other professors had deemed one week of detention for each of Alex's offenses as a fair punishment, and Maddison was able to argue that Kole's detention should not exceed this.
Feeling a sense of relief that she had done her duty and justice had been served, Maddison left the professor's office with a heavy heart, knowing that her brother would have to face the consequences of his actions.
