It was my 7th year, the last year I was going to be at Hogwarts. I had my life planned out my parents worked for the ministry so obviously I would get a job there after my graduation. I had everything going for me I had modeled for Madam Malkin's new magazine; I was as famous as Harry Potter at Hogwarts. Ron Weasley was my boyfriend, every girl was jealous of me and I loved every second of it. That is till December 3rd when I had to move my schedule to fit in muggle studies, that's when I met Professor Winamin.
You think this man would have been a model for Madam Malkin's too. He was tall with blonde hair and blue spiked tips, Romanian and Sauvé, I don't know where head master McGonagall found this man, but I liked her taste.
Ron how ever did not, "Bloody hell that man pisses me off always giving us home work on flash lights you think by the 13th assignment we would get it, but no he had to make 14 more." We were studying in my dorm room; I had tricked it many times to let him in, mostly nights when every one was asleep though.
"I don't know Ron; I think he just wants to make sure we are prepared for our finals." I said to him.
"Hmp, Ivee the only reason you say nothing against him is because you think he is hot, well fine then, you can go study with him."
And with that he ran out of my dorm, I knew he wouldn't be mad later, we had been dating since our 4th year and he did this all the time, he was very jealous. I did have some time to kill so I went to Professor Winamin's class room; there was some concept I didn't quite understand about flashlights and batteries and I figured there was no time better to ask but the present.
I walked down the dark corridor to the end class room. The rule at Hogwarts is you can decorate your class room any way you want and well, Professor Winamin took that to the extreme. There were spell enhanced flames that moved against the black walls; he had Harley posters and upside down umbrella lights. Some Muggle band pictures were floating and he had on music, like he did every class, from his favorite muggle band Queen of the Stone Age. I knocked on the big black door which resembled the silhouette of a motor cycle and he asked me to enter.
"Yes, Ms. Devoir how I may help you?" he asked me with his beautiful white teeth showing as he smiled.
"Um...Yes…Um I need some help…uh…Please with my studies on... um…..a…..flash lights…um… Professor Winamin." Just being in his presence made me nervous. Still showing me his pearly white he said "Sure, and call me Nicodemus, what don't you understand?" His cute accent made me have goose bumps.
"Batteries" I said loud and obnoxiously. "I really don't understand how they work."
"Well Ms. Devoir this is how a battery works." He took on of the flashlights of the shelf and took out the large cylinder objects and explained the wonders of batteries.
"Thanks, I guess I'll go back to the dorms till dinner." I said.
Then a song came on I can never forget, because every time I hear it it's a reminder of my foolishness.
"Wow! This song is really cool! What is it?"
"Oh, it's muggle music, it's called "Owner of a Lonely Heart" it's by a band called YES." He said to me.
His crazy water colored eyes smiled to know I enjoyed his music. Then he asked me to stay and listen to more music.
I'm sure Ron wondered where I was because I never came to the great hall for dinner, and had to ask the house elves for a morsel of food. I enjoyed listening to Nicodemus's music with him I decided to take him up on the offer to come back the next night, so I snuck past the fat lady and up to my bed to await our next night together. It was nothing romantic and I knew that, but I still could not wait to see him.
