366 Days of Writing- 'open'
June Funfair Event, Ferris Wheel- "You can't break an Unbreakable Vow."/"I'd worked that out for myself, funnily enough."
"Open your History of Magic textbooks to page twelve," Professor Morgan said from the front of the classroom. "Today we will be learning about the history of various magical vows."
The students scrambled to open their textbooks and find a bit of parchment to write out notes on, as, unlike in the days when Professor Binns taught the class, it was one of the strictest classrooms in Hogwarts. Professor Morgan was an energetic, stern woman and she paid a great deal of attention to her students.
Though she was head of Hufflepuff house, it was not uncommon to lose house points frequently, no matter what house you belong to. She did not play favorites or give students much leeway. Roxanne could not count the times she had gotten in trouble in that class, McGonagall had start to expect her presence in her office during fifth hour.
Roxanne, of course, never took the blame. She often blamed it on her table partner, Lorcan Scamander or the professor herself. Almost every day for the entire first term, she had lamented to the Headmistress about how she would be just fine in class is she didn't have him sitting there whispering one ridiculous thing after another in her ear.
McGonagall had always just shook her head and said she would have to learn how to deal with others, and would remind her it was not Lorcan the professor heard from the front of the room. It was not Lorcan who argued with the professor over whether or not he'd been talking. Now, almost at the end of the year, McGonagall simply had a plate of biscuits waiting for Roxanne each day.
As Professor Morgan began her lesson on magical vows, Roxanne soon realized she would be spending yet another class period munching on biscuits in the Headmistress' office.
Lorcan, who was reading ahead, turned to her. "Roxanne, you'll never believe what I just read."
"What?" She whispered, rolling her eyes.
"You can't break an Unbreakable Vow," he said with the straightest face she'd ever seen.
"I'd worked that out for myself, funnily enough," Roxanne said through gritted teeth.
"Roxanne Weasley," Professor Morgan yelled from the front of the room. "that is the third time this week you've interrupted my class! Twenty-five points from Gryffindor and go see the Headmistress immediately."
"Professor-" Roxanne tried to argue.
"Now!"
Roxanne slipped into the Headmistress' office after knocking. McGonagall was seated behind her desk and simply gestured to the the seat in front of it.
"What was it this time," McGonagall asked.
"Well, it would seem Professor Morgan has hidden an Extendable Ear in my desk," Roxanne began with her newest excuse and took a lemon cookie from a plate on the desk.
