Me and Seamus sat quietly and enjoyed our delectable breakfast in polite conversation. Yeah…right. I sat on his lap and tried to throw little pieces of toast in his mouth while he snuck kisses along my neck when he thought no one was looking. I chanced some subtle looks to our surrounding students and, as always, was highly amused with their reactions. There's the people like Hermione who roll their eyes and pretend like nothing's happening, or there's those who, like Luna, stare for a while in mild curiosity, then continue eating. Or you could be the type, like many girls, who put on the most disgusted faces they possibly can when really they wish they could find a guy to have that much attention and fun with. My personal favorite faces of the day have got to be the jealousy ones. Lavender sat watching us with narrowed eyes, while gritting her teeth and positively fuming like one of those fucking cartoons with steam coming out of the ears. It's not like I want her to hate me and I certainly don't want to make enemies with anyone, but I got to get some form of payback for every fucking rumor she's ever spread about me last year.

McGonagall handed out our new schedules of the semester a short while later. Mine read:

MONDAY: Double Charms 7:30, Double Divination 10:00 a.m., Astronomy 10:00 p.m.

TUESDAY: Potions 8:00, Transfiguration 10:00, break, Care of Magical Creatures 2:00

WEDNESDAY: Divination 8:15, Charms 10:45, break, Defense against the Dark Arts 1:50

THURSDAY: same as Tuesday

FRIDAY: same as Wednesday

I was pleased to find many other Gryffindors in my classes, accept, of course Divination and Care of Magical Creatures. I took last year pretty easy, but later learned that I was in need of more credits than I had expected. So, I chose the two easiest classes that were available.

THREE WEEKS LATER

Care of Magical Creatures class and Divination = B-O-R-I-N-G! Astronomy has remained somewhat interesting, while the only good thing about Transfiguration is Remus teaching and the fact I'm not alone in there. Charms is an easy O, and Potions is officially on my good side. I have been partnered up with none other than…you ready for this? Ha, it's none other than Mr. Finnigan. Sometimes, I swear, Snape loves me more than he's willing to let on. Last but certainly not least, DADA (Defense against the Dark Arts) is pretty neutral. As I suspected, Sirius is a kick ass teacher who manages to get waaaaayy off topic, while still teaching everyone exactly what they need to know…except me. The more off topic we get, the more distracted I am and the more we read and review, the more information I seem to forget. If it's possible, I think I'm doing worse this year than any year before. Honestly, I don't see how anyone else can concentrate with a guy like Sirius teaching us. He's hilarious, smart, and for a guy that's been out in Azkaban for so long, has a very impressive body. ..Is that weird for me to notice? I know I'm a student, but I don't think that should keep me from noticing the hotness radiating from my somewhat older male professor. It's not like I haven't sneaked a peak at any other older guys. Remus certainly has that innocent, old guy appeal to him. I can imagine him as the sexy nerd back in the day. The whole were wolf thing is pretty damn hot too. See, it's nothing dangerous-- just an observation.
