Her worn sneakers pounded the pavement, and she ran. She had never run this fast in her life, laughing and trying to keep her breaths steady.
"MISS MOSLEY QUIT RUNNING AT ONCE!" Her newly purple professor yelled after her, only making her run faster and laugh louder. She may or may not have pulled the absolute best prank of the entire school year. "SOMEONE STOP THAT CHILD!" He shouted again. She turned around quickly to see him gaining on her. If she could only get a little more ahead, she could-
"OH MY GOSH!" She fell to the ground and someone fell on top of her, disabling her from getting back to her feet. She winced from impact but when she opened her eyes, a boy with blue-no, pink…no, green hair…was above her. His hair changed again to blue as he stood to his feet, and she knew she must've bumped her head bad.
"I'm so sorry! I was-"She stood up quick and grabbed his hand, pulling him behind her.
"Run now, talk later!" She ran quickly hand in hand with him and ran quickly again. He ran beside her and laughed, not exactly sure why he was running.
"MISTER LUPIN DO NOT BECOME INVOLVED WITH HER FOOLISH PRANKS! YOU WILL BOTH BE PUNISHED!" Teddy realized why they were running and he pulled her down a corridor, laughing as they ran into a room that wasn't there before. The purple professor ran to them infuriated, but the room resealed as soon as he reached it. It was just an open space like an large, empty classroom. They laughed for a moment, but she finally spoke up.
"Where did this room come from?" He smiled; she was absolutely beautiful.
"My family told me about it. It's called the Room of Requirements. It shows when you're in need." She nodded, amused."So what was your fantastic prank that turned Professor Blitwink purple?"
It's quite simple, really. I won't bore you with all the specifics, but it was just a potion with something special in it. Slipped it into his coffee, and poof! Instant purple professor." They laughed and it faded to silence again, smiling at one another.
"So what's your name?" They sat on the ground about halfway into the room.
"Cassidy Mosley; my friends usually call me Cas, though. You got a first name, or is it just Lupin?" She smiled and he replied sweetly.
"Edward, but everyone calls me Teddy; and if you were wondering about the hair thing, it's because I'm a metamorphagus. I can change my hair color and eye color and like make animal faces and stuff like that." She nodded and laughed.
"That's super cool. I wish I could do that." Now sitting and talking with her, Teddy could see how amazing she looked. She had long straight hair, falling past her waist. It was royal blue towards her roots, but bleached white at her tips. Her eyes were also blue with hints of grey, and she had a few freckles on her nose. They talked about everything from their classes to their family and about the war and how he lived with his grandmother and her family left her for adoption and everything about everything else until they realized it was past curfew and they'd have to sneak back to their dorm. She was a Gryffindor and he was Ravenclaw, so when they left the room, they would be going their separate ways.
"Can we meet up later? Like maybe after class tomorrow?" She smiled and nodded.
"I'll see you at noon tomorrow, then? Courtyard?" She asked, walking towards the exit. He nodded and smiled, kissing her cheek quickly before heading off to his commonroom. She smiled and blushed, sneaking back to hers as well.
