Chapter 2
Charlie's POV
"Oh hell no," I mumbled slamming my head onto the desk softly, 'I guess this is why mum let me know.' I thought to myself as I saw the man stride through the classroom, girls swooning as he walked passed. He was supposed to some 'super hottie' or something, well that's what most girls say. I guess that would be why they thought Sirius was 'hot.' I felt sick as I looked at him, he was tall, and he had his signature black messy hair, his muscular build and those bright green eyes, his eyes, my eyes. My thoughts where interrupted by Cade whispering excitedly, "NO WAY! Its Harry Potter how cool is this!" I rolled my eyes and turned to face Matt who was smiling broadly at his godfather. 'Ugh' I put my head onto the desk and moaned softly.
"Hello my name is Professor Potter, but you all must know that already." He smiled, those green haunting eyes sparkling brightly. I rolled my eyes, 'I can see where the Potters get their arrogance from.' I thought to myself frowning as Professor Potter continued to ramble on about something, im not sure what though.
"NOW," I heard the strong voice echo around the room again, "time for roll call, please tell me if you have a preferred name."
"Natalie Bustikins?"
"Her-here sir" I turned to look at the poor girl, who looked like she was about to faint as Potter smiled at her.
"Hello Natalie, any preferred names?" the girl shook her head and the Professor went on.
"Tamara Halloway?"
"here sir." I looked over at Tamara, who was battering her eyes at the Professor. I shuddered in disgust. "Slut." I muttered and I heard the boys stifle a laugh. The Professor smiled at her and continued on with the roll.
"Matilda Halloway? Oooh we have twins yes?" Matilda waved and said
'Yes sir.'
"How interesting, twins, sorry if I do get you mixed up" Tamara frowned and shook her head, I heard he mumble something to her best friend, Hayley Longbottom, something about 'im prettier he better pay more attention to me!' I rolled my eyes and laughed softly because they where identical twins. It continued on like this until he got to 'G.'
"Charlotte Granger." He frowned and looked up glancing around the room; I stuck my hand up nervously looking into his eyes.
"Here sir, can you call me Charlie?" he watched me, his eyes lingering on me for longer than necessary. He finally broke from my gaze and looked away nodding slightly.
"Matthew Lupin, I mean Matt." he nodded towards Matt who nodded back, then Matt turned to face me.
"Hey Charlie... did I miss something?" he looked at me frowning softly.
"What do you mean?" I asked innocently. 'Oh crap. Please don't tell me I was too obvious.' I thought to myself 'I couldn't let him find out my secret... Mum told me not to tell anyone.'
"You seemed to like have this... Moment with Har-Professor Potter. Do you not like him or something?"
I looked at him and it was a moment before I spoke, "no it's just that now Sirius will have another thing to brag about." I lied between my teeth; I had never been such a great liar. Although Matt didn't seemed convinced he nodded and looked away. Professor Potter continued down the roll, calling out names, that's when he got to the Weasleys, I swear they are going to take over the world, there are so many god dam Weasleys.
Arthur Weasley Jnr
Mark Weasley
Nick Weasley
Carmen Weasley
Patrick Weasley
Sam Weasley
Fred Weasley Jnr – the list goes on and those are just the kids in my class.
"Well that was a mouthful," Professor Potter walked back up to the front of the class smiling broadly at the class. "Now I haven't actually set a plan, so who would like to choose what we are going to start off with?" hands shot up around the room, Professor Potter looked around the room, his facial expression almost mocking. "Miss Granger, do you have a suggestion?" I looked up at him his face firm and judging.
"No." I mumbled looking away from his glare; he stared at me for a second longer before finally picking him, his son. "Alright Sirius, what do you want to do?"
"Werewolves!" I heard Matt inwardly groan softly beside me, " 'Cause I have always wanted to learn about them more, we learnt a bit in year 4, but since I know a werewolf," Sirius glanced over at Matt and Matt frowned back at him, "I think it would be great to learn about them." Professor Potter's smile broadened and obviously didn't catch the mocking voice his son had said that in.
"That's a fantastic idea! Now anybody object for our starting topic to be werewolves?" he looked around the room his eyes stopping on Matt who just looked up and shrugged at him, "ALRIGHT lets begin, who can tell me what a werewolf is.. hmm" I was once again the only person in the class to stick up my hand, I glanced over at matt who just stared back giving me the look of, 'oh hell no I am not participating in this discussion!' okay so it would be awkward because of his father and all but did I really need to look like the 'know it all' ALL the time. "Thankyou Miss Granger"
"Umm," I started off nervously; I could hear snickers from Potter and his gang behind me. I rolled my eyes and kept going, "The Werewolf is a human who, upon the rising of the full moon, turns into a near wolf." I said as quickly as I could, not mentioning the fact that they are petrifying or scary or whatever.
"Good, good 10 points to Gryffindor." There was an uproar in the class and I raised my eyebrows at him.
"Uhh sir, im in Slytherin." He paused for a moment, then he burst out laughing, when he saw I was serious he put on a blank face and played with his tie.
"Oh right sorry, 5 points to Slytherin." I rolled my eyes and looked back at the front; I heard mumbles from Cade about him being a 'bias dick. Thought he would be cool.'
"Anyway," Professor Potter continued, "who can tell me three things that distinguish a werewolf from a normal wolf?" nobody answered so I stuck up my hand again. "Yes Miss Granger."
"Werewolves can be distinguished from regular wolves by several small unique characteristics, such as the pupils of the eyes, snout shape, and tufted tail." Professor Potter nodded and awarded Slytherin another 5 points.
The lesson continued on like this and by the end I had accumulated 40 points for the house. When the lesson was over and I was packing up I noticed that Professor Potter was talking to his son, and his two friends, but his eyes never left me. Cade clapped me on the back, smiling.
"Nice Char, you got us 40 points! Keep it up and we are sure to win the Cup." Cade walked out of the room heading for his next lesson. I had a spare and so did Matt so we walked together going to the library to 'study.' While walking I noticed that Matt looked... upset.
"Hey Matt you okay?" I asked stopping and grabbing hold of his arm.
"Oh yeah, sure." He mumbled not looking at me; I grabbed him, spun him around and made him look at me, raising my eyebrows. "Charlie its nothing, I just don't like talking about werewolves that's all, and I guess im just a little pissed off at Sirius for the look he gave me." I smiled and gave him a reassuring hug.
"Don't worry mate, Sirius is just an arse. Ignore him… or we could prank him that always makes me feel better." I shrugged and Matt laughed taking hold of my hand we walked on, not speaking, it became one of those silences again, not the awkward ones, just silence. Matt and I were really close, most people think we are dating, sure we hold hands, I kiss him on the cheek and I guess… I love him or whatever. Although we aren't anything more than friends… Cade says we are friends, with err benefits. Whenever he tells us that Matt laughs and gives me one of my smiles. We continued to walk in silence until we reached the library where he let go of my hand, opened the door and held it open while I walked in, we went over to an empty desk and got out some books.
"So Charlie," his voice suddenly broke the silence, "how do you know so much about werewolves?" he asked looking at me sort of, sadly. I shrugged and smiled.
"Dunno, I just read about them a lot, I think its interesting," I lied. I didn't find it interesting that peoples souls where taken over by these beasts, I didn't find interesting that once a month someone would loose themselves and loose their minds. I only know because of what happened to my mum, that night where I thought I had lost the only person in the world that cared about me. I closed my eyes and sighed, opening them I saw Matt worried face watching me.
"Uhh you okay Charlie?" he asked grabbing hold of my hand and squeezing it softly, "You look kind of... Sick?" I shook my head and smiled.
"Yeah im fine, now Matt lets get onto the Transfiguration homework from before the holidays, I was meaning to do it but I kind of just got sidetracked." Matt rolled his eyes and started to explain what we had to do.
The rest of the day was a blur, after finishing my transfiguration homework I headed off to potions and Matt went to his class, then I had Transfiguration and the Herbology. Dinner was just like always, Cade was babbling on about how bad his day was, Matt was sitting with his Gryffindor friends, including Potter, Longbottom and Wesalbee Jnr. I laughed as I thought about Weasley, Draco had told me about that name was what he called Ron Weasley and I quite liked it, so did the rest of Slytherin actually, so poor Sam Weasley adopted the name, Wesalbee Jnr. After dinner I went straight up to the dorm, had a quick bath and curled up into my soft green sheets, trying to dream about something else other than what had happened today. I closed my eyes and fell straight to sleep.
