I sat staring at the Teacher's table from the middle of the Slytherine's table. I wasn't just staring at the teachers, I was staring at a certain Professor who was smiling at one of the female teachers. I bite my bottom lip trying to ignore the pang of jealousy before I forced myself to look down at my food. I let out a small, sad sigh- why wouldn't he smile at me like that?
'Stop drooling at Professor Malfoy, hes untouchable as the head of the house. Besides hes married with a child,' Amelia mutters, her snake- like eyes flickering from him to me.
'Has that even stopped her before?' Dandy asked looking at Amelia, incredulous.
'That is true,' Amelia murmured, looking at me with an evil twinkle in her eyes.
'Guys, I am off boys this year,' I lied, sneaking a look at the Professor out of the corner of my eyes. Not Professor Malfoy as everyone seemed to think, he was okay but there was only one person I had your eyes on and he would never be mine. He was a Griffindor teacher, therefore even more untouchable then the Malfoy one.
'Since when are you off boys?' Dandy asked, smiling at me knowingly.
'Since I need to concentrate in order for world domination,' I told them causing the whole table to erupt in laughter. It was a lie, no guy had been able to keep me happy ever since I had got this stupid crush on that Professor. I once again went to sneak a look at him, he was eating his food a little frown on his brow. It was getting harder to look away from him so I just kept watching him as the people around me discussed how they would take over the world.
'Homework,' came Professor Lunas's voice in my ear, causing me to jump slightly in my chair. It took a while for me to look away from him, but I had to otherwise the Professor might notice who I were looking at. Too late I realized as I looked up at her, who was staring in the general direction of where the Professor sat.
'Uh, its...' I stammered as my mind was still recovering from being melted, but I was distracted by the sound of him laughing. It amazes me how no one had noticed my crush as it was making me act like a crazy lady.
'You know, if you look into the eyes of the one you seek you may be surprised at what you find,' Professor Luna said staring up at the ceiling a dazed look in her eyes.
'Are you sure, Luna?' I asked. I snuck another look at him only to see that he was gone. It didn't matter anyway, I knew he hated me and he had every right to after the things I had done to him over the years. I had to force down a piece of bacon waiting for her answer.
'Yes, true emotions cannot escape from the eyes,' she murmured, a small smile playing on her face as she walked away.I smiled in the small hope that he didn't hate me. Luna was the Divination's teacher, meaning she knew what she was talking about. I couldn't wait for Herbology class...
Failure. Complete and utter failure. I went to class early and did what Luna said. Walked right up to him and sat on his desk. He blatantly ignored me for a good few minutes before turning and looking me in the eye.
'I refuse to be intimidated by some silly Slytherine girl who will receive a week's detention if she doesn't get to her seat now and stops holding up the class,' he told me. I was so shocked that I fell of the desk, which is a blessing is disguise as I wasn't really listening to him but being memorized by his eyes. Looking up at him now I did see emotion in his eyes. Annoyance and exasperation. Thinking back I guess Luna never really did say if I was going to like what I saw.
Looking away he began teaching the class. One could say he let me off easy as he secretly had a soft spot for me but it seemed more likely that he didn't want to mess with Dandy. Everyone knew that giving one of Dandy's friend's more then one detention in a row would face the wrath of her brother. Either that or he couldn't be bothered.
'Now choose partners,' he finished as I finally sat down. I thought that our class had a odd number? We always do things in 3s or alone.
'Blair,' he called my name, you will be working alone. I did not realize there was not enough people.'
Liar. Even the most naive person knew I would be left to work alone. I usually stuck to my friends as anyone outside of them thought I was some sort of maneater and hated me. I've never had an official boyfriend outside of Slytherine so I don't know what they are going on about but all the girls seem to think that I stole their boyfriends, which I probably did. They hated me, all except the ones from Slytherine who had grudging respect for me. No other Slytherines in this class though.
This years class of herbology was made up of mostly girls who would barely look at me, let alone work with me without a look from Professor Longbottom. I blame them as it was probabely the puppy look he gave them that made me fal- get a crush on him.
'What are we doing?' I yelled out after having my hand up for a good 5 minutes.
'We're doing page 154 and I would appreciate it if you wait your turn as everyone deserves an equal chance,' his voice came from behind me.
Turning to the page I saw that it was a long-winded explaination on focusing positive energy into a plant to heal it. Before me sat a rather sad looking tree. Having done this a thousand times I just closed my eyes, ignoring the step-by-step instructions. Finding my concentration was near impossible as those around me made as much noise as possible. My thoughts drifted to that of the professor. He was quite young for a professor at 20, only a few years difference.
Shaking my head you dismissed those thought and began to hum a song to drown out the noise. 'I can make you feel it,' by Home video, a song that had featured on gossip girl. I basically started an underground club just so I could get a tv to watch those.
Opening my eyes I smiled, finding aperfectly healthy tree before me. Leaves all shiny and green.
'I would be happy for too long with the murderous look on his face,' came a voice from the tree trunk that suddenly formed a face. He?
He, the tree looked behind me before dissolving into the bark.
'Out,' came Professor Longbottom's voice, ice cold.
'What?' I chocked out, confused and hurt at the harshness of his voice.
'Out,' he bellowed, pointing a finger out the door. Looking at the tree, wondering if one of my mates had spiked my drink this morning, I grabbed it before running out the door and to my dorm where I could hide it.
'The names Brown, Mud Brown,' he said, the face reappearing on the trunk. Smiling.
