Chapter 3
Defense Against Mating?
Jane and Arden sat down in the great hall. Jane was writing down some notes in her little purple notebook; she closed it and said a small spell to keep her notebook locked. If anyone tried to get in they would suffer severe pinching on their cheeks.
"You are always writing down things in there..I thought you hated taking notes?" Arden asked munching on some bacon.
"Its private." Jane said with a pause "its where I have my ideas for spells" she put it back in bag and got up, bumping into James and his crew. James who didn't pay much attention continued walking.
"Jerk.." Jane got up and left.
Arden stayed behind as Remus and Sirius sat next to her. Remus cleared his throat. "Sirius, here is a werewolve. Like me."
Arden blushed. Sirius snorted.
"You have a girlfriend now" he said in a singing tone. Remus blushed the same color as Arden.
James came walking back.
"Time for class boys.."
Severus was on his way to class when he started thinking about her. Which caught him by surprise, because he had never thought about another girl except for Lily Evans.
Severus hid his expression as he walked into his next class, Defense against the Dark Arts. He spotted Jane and Arden sitting next to each other. He decided to sit with the slytherins on the other side. He then noticed Lily with James; also sitting next to each other, and for the first time his heart didn't hurt.
"Alright class today we are going to learn about Werewolves"
Arden choked and Jane laughed outloud.
"Please turn to page 45" said the Professor ignoring the girls.
"I can finally understand your kind" Jane teased Arden.
"Ha Ha" Arden said sarcastically.
Jane took out her purple notebook and tried to find a blank page before the lecture began.
The lecture droned out for a long time. So far they had learned transformation, the DNA of the disease and how to fight off one if you ever came across one. Jane made sure to write that detail down and circle it.
"You know…Remus is a wolfie too" Arden whispered to Jane.
"No way…"
As if by coincidence the professor said "Mating"
"MATING?"
Remus and Arden looked at each other and blushed as they both looked away. Arden buried herself inside the book and Jane couldn't look any more interested in the subject.
After the lecture Arden was so embarrassed she couldn't even walk right.
"So..you have a litter?" Jane said shocked.
Arden looked at Jane angrily and walked away.
"Arden? What did I say?" as Jane was about to run after her Severus grabbed her shoulder.
"Can I talk you?" Severus said looking down not wanting to make contact with those violet eyes…beautiful violet eyes.
"Yeah Sure Sev!"
The two of them went walking towards the library as Arden and Lupin met in the Great Hall.
