This was it, there was no going back now. All of a sudden I felt some doubt in my mind. Did I really want to do this? well I had to do it. I couldn't disappoint all the people that had turned up to watch. I took my cloak of and threw it to the left, not bothering to see where it landed. In front of me was one of the Hogwarts teachers. A thought occurred to me whiles't looking at my opponent. 'By Merlins beard! I'm fifteen years old! barely learnt the most basic spells! And so my brain decidedthat I wanted to fight my loathed potion's teacher' this whole thought in one sarcastic tone. 'Voldemorts nipple! everyone is staring at us' I looked at him with panic and mentally apologized to him. I was starting to wonder which one of us was going to start. I looked up at him once more. He gave me a nod that only I would have noticed.
I drew my 12.5" oakwood, dragon heartstring wand towards him. Suddenly a bolt of red light came soaring through the air towards me, I had just enough time to block it as I shouted "expeliarmus". Spell after spell we fought and I was exhausted by the time the fight came to an end. Snape had sent a stunning spell so fast that I barely noticed it hitting me, except for the obvious thump as I fell down to the ground. My vision went blurry for a few seconds and then black. But it wasn't my vision that had turned black, no there was something in front of me. I looked up until I reached a face, there was also a hand reaching out. In the back I could hear whispering as I grabbed it and was dragged up and back on my feet. I let go of his hand and brushed the dust of my shirt and skirt, I stuck my hand out to shake his hand "Thanks for the match, I had fun"
At my words the whole school ground went quiet and the look on my potions professor was priceless! I felt my suppressed glee slowly surfacing, he looked utterly shocked! The neutral mask gone, only for a second before it was back. I turned to leave when a thought occurred to me and I turned to look at him before saying "would you mind teaching me some tricks once in a while?" he gave me a curt nod before swiftly turning in a billow of black. I spent a few seconds looking after him before beginning to look for my discarded cloak, but it was thrown in my face before even managing to search a centimeter.
"Come on, let's go" someone suppressed a a laugh while I was struggling to remove the garment of my face.
"Its not funny Lucy, I did my best out there" My voice came out sounding offended
"Sure ya did, everyone thought you were going to do a Gilderoy Lockheart move on us but I guess you're too much of a witch for that" we both broke out in a loud laugh.
"Come on" he dragged me by my arm "we've got transfiguration in five minutes!"
"Calm down!, I'm coming" A weird noice came out of me as he lunged me forward.
"Hey, Sissi" I turned to look at my new friend.
"Good job out there, you would have won if it had been against someone else."
"I know" we both started laughing again.
