A Teenage Romance
Chapter 4
"Today you have detention." Hermione reminded Minerva. They sat in the library working on their charms essay.
"Oh you're right!" Minerva bit her lip. "Do you think he'll make me write a lot?"
"You redecorated the dungeons Melanie. He'll make you write until your hand falls off."
"Hi Mel." Fred and George took two chairs and sat on both sides of Minerva.
Fred put his arm around her shoulder. Minerva blushed.
"Would you like to plan so pranks with me and George tonight."
"Sorry boys but I have detention with Snape."
"Too bad." George leaned back in his chair and took a beetle from his pocket. "We have exploding pudding beetles."
"Where did you get that?" Minerva snatched it from George's hand.
"We made them yesterday."
"These are fantastic."
"Well hopefully you can help us tomorrow then?" Fred smiled and took the beetle back.
"I would love to."
"Then it's a date." Fred winked at Minerva and him and George left. Minerva smiled and looked back at Hermione who had her arms crossed and her eyebrow raised. Minerva shrugged.
"I like them older."
"You have detention with Albus and Minerva today Severus." Rolanda leaned against the door and watched as Severus pulled of the green and pink streamers of the walls.
"I know Rolanda." Severus said sadly.
"Would you like me to jinx you so you can stay in the Hospital Wing. Filius or Pomona can take the detention."
"Why would you need to jinx me for them to take over the detention?
"I don't know. I've just always wanted to jinx you."
"Is it because I'm evil?"
"You're not evil Severus." Rolanda smiled. Just greasy."
"That's very nice of you to say." Severus smirked.
"Well it's just that you are known for kindness."
"Yeah." Severus rolled his eyes.
"Pomona, Filius, Poppy, Minerva, Albus and I love you just as you are." She smiled. "And Sybil of course." Severus quivered. He stuck out his tongue and squinted his eyes in disgust.
"You know she told me she saw a dark mysterious man in her dreams."
"Oh really?" Rolanda smiled. Severus nodded his head.
"I told her it was a vampire ready to suck her dry." Severus said darkly.
"And how did she respond to that?" Rolanda asked.
"She said that I can be her vampire any day and I have permission to suck anything i want of hers."
"Oh that's disturbing." Rolanda giggled.
"Thought you would like that story."
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Minerva's behavior."
"It's quiet alright. I just have to a bit of my magic. It's only the second week any way." Severus smiled and then ripped another kitty poster of the wall.
"I thought you liked Alex." Hermione said as her and Minerva headed for the Great Hall for lunch.
"I don't like Alex!" Minerva tensed.
"Why do you have such a problem with admitting you like Alex."
"I don't like Alex. And you have shouldn't be the one talking. I don't see you telling Ron about your feelings so shut it."
"I'm just saying that Alex won't be happy when he finds out that you're dating Fred."
"I'm not dating Fred. And George is there so it's more like just hanging out."
"Okay well just don't be surprised when Alex throws a fit. He really is trying to get you to like him."
"Well I don't like him."
"That's what you say now."
"Oh just shut it."
"You're so stubborn"
Minerva raised an eyebrow. "I am not stubborn Granger." Hermione was taken aback.
"You just..." Hermione said in a whisper. She thought for a moment.
"What?"
"You just reminded me of someone."
"Is that good or bad?" Minerva asked.
"Neither I guess. Just strange." Hermione looked at Melanie for a moment Melanie looked at Hermione not sure what to say. "It's nothing" Hermione said and then shook her thoughts out of her mind and they continued their way to the Great Hall.
..................Later on that Tuesday.......................
"Don't start Melanie." Albus warned.
"Or what? Are you going to curse me?"
"Melanie!"
"Alex I will not be told what to do by a loser like you."
"I am not a loser!"
"Then take your move."
"I'm thinking!"
"And I'm getting wrinkles!" Minerva twirled her finger in her hair. Albus had made his move and smiled. Minerva looked up and knocked down his queen. "Check mate."
"How do you always win?"
"I've told you Alex. You can't beat me at chess." Minerva stood up. "Hurry up now we're going to be late for dinner." Alex put away his chess set and walked out of the corridor together on their way to the Great Hall.
"You are a cheater."
"What makes you think I'm a cheater?"
"Batting your eye lashes and smiling evilly to distract me. Therefore it's hard to pay attention to the game when you're paying attention to the girl."
"Are you flirting in a appropriate manor?"
"Actually yes. Are you beginning to like me a bit more?"
"Perhaps." Minerva looked down to the floor.
"Are you blushing?" Alex asked but luckily for Minerva, Snape had turned the corner.
"Not starting trouble I hope." Snape walked along the two.
"No sir. We were playing chess."
"I should have known." Severus whispered.
"What was that professor?" Albus and Minerva looked at him curiously.
"Who won?" Severus ignored Albus's question.
"I won all four times." Minerva grinned with achievement.
"And all four times she's cheated."
"You were the one that didn't pay attention." Minerva rolled her eyes
"How can I when you have those blasted eyes?" Albus glared at Minerva. Severus held back his laughter.
They entered the Great Hall and everyone had already begun to eat. No one paid mind to Minerva or Albus because most just thought Minerva and Albus must have started something and were being punished by Snape.
"You didn't get in trouble did you?" Hermione scooted over for Minerva and Harry did the same for Albus.
"No we were playing chess and lost track of time." Alex answered.
"Snape just seemed to be running late as well." Minerva took a drink of water.
"I wonder what evil he is brewing in that office of his." Harry said.
"Harry why do you think Snape is always up to something?" Hermione took a drink of her pumpkin juice.
"Because he's evil!"
"I think he's nice." Melanie put some potatoes on her plate.
"That's because he is going soft." Ron said ripping into his chicken.
"I have a bad feeling." Severus said to Poppy and Rolanda.
"What?" Rolanda looked at Severus.
"I can hear him." Severus lowered in his chair.
Just then Peeves and Rupert came in, Rupert right behind Peeves. Rupert growled and followed the poltergeist. They went around in circles until Severus stood up from his chair. "PEEVES!" He yelled. Peeves then headed straight for Severus and went right through Severus's chest. Severus looked up and Rupert was heading straight for him. "NO NO NO!" Rupert had hit Severus making him fall back so hard that his feet kicked the staff table with such force that some of the food had fallen off the table.
The students were very quiet. They didn't if the Potions Master was hurt or not. Poppy on the other hand began to giggle as well as the other staff. Severus hand banged on the table and his other one as well. He rose up. His face red with anger and mash potatoes piled on his head. The quibble jumped on the table covered in apple juice.
The students were afraid to laugh because they could all tell Snape was furious. He stood there for a moment and turned to Poppy. "You think it's funny do you?" He grabbed some of the food off his head and smashed it in Poppy's face and burst out in laughter. The students couldn't believe it. Snape and laughter just didn't seem to go together.
Poppy stopped her laughing and grabbed noodles. She flung them to Severus but he ducked hit Rolanda in her face. Rolanda glared at her and threw a roll at Poppy but she moved and Filius cast it out of his way making its way to a student.
There was an awkward silence and then "FOOD FIGHT!" Everyone were reaching for all kinds of food and throwing it every which way.
"Lets get out of here." Melanie grabbed Alex's hand and they bent down and hurried out of the door.
They made it out to the hall and Minerva tapped her clothes with her wand making any of the food disappeared from her clothes and she did the same to Albus.
"What do we do now?" Albus said.
"Would you like to walk around the school until it's time for detention?"
"Sure."
"Where do you think they went?" Hermione said falling on the sofa.
"Probably roaming around the castle. Or maybe playing chess somewhere." Harry said.
"You know they play chess a lot." Ron yawned.
"Yeah kinda reminds me of McGonagall and Dumbledore." Harry smiled.
"What?" Hermione wondered. "How would you know that?"
"Well every time I went to Dumbldore's office McGonagall was there sitting at the chess table he has. And McGonagall had always left saying I'll beat you at chess another time old man. By the look of Dumbledore's face it seemed that he lost constantly."
"He told me once that if I wanted competition to ask McGonagall. He said he hadn't beat her in chess in forty something years." Ron said.
"Really?" Hermione smiled.
"Why do you ask?" Harry and Ron looked at Hermione.
"Just curious."
.....................Somewhere in the Castle.......................
"Is there something about me that you like?" Albus asked. Minerva thought for a moment.
"Your eyes."
"Why my eyes?"
"They twinkle. I think it's cute."
"So you think I'm cute."
"Don't start Alex." Minerva warned.
"I like when you're angry with me."
"Why?"
"Because you tense up and then you get a little flushed in the cheeks. I think you're really cute when you do that." Alex smiled. Minerva smiled and looked to the ground. "So are you ready for a wonderful time in detention?"
"I'm thrilled." Minerva said sarcastically.
..............Snape's Office...............
"You'll be helping Filch clean the Great Hall. And without wands." Severus looked at the two of them.
"The Great Hall will take hours to clean without wands." Minerva complained.
"Then I suggest you get cleaning now." Severus smiled.
......................Two hours and only half of the Great Hall was cleaned..........................
"Be careful when you walk up here there is juice on the floor. You might fall." Albus warned Minerva.
"How much longer do we have to do this."
"Until I can see my face on the floor." Filch hissed.
"I hope your face collides with the floor." Minerva whispered.
"What was that?" Filch glared at Minerva. Albus smiled.
"Nothing sir." Minerva looked back to the ground.
"Watch your tongue or you will -" Filch fell to the ground. He raised slowly, his nose bloody. "I'll be back." He grumbled as he left the Great Hall and off to the Hospital Wing.
"Look at that. Wishes do come true."
"Why did you do that?"
"I didn't do anything. That was just pure luck." Minerva took out her wand and cleaned up a few areas.
"If they see you with that wand you'll get in trouble." Albus smiled. Minerva walked towards him.
"And what will happ-" Minerva slid and fell towards Albus making them fall to the ground. Minerva turned red realizing she was right on top of him.
"We'll just get another detention." Albus whispered.
"Maybe I like having detention with you." Minerva smiled. She leaned closer to him and then....
"HEY!" Filch returned, his nose longer bleeding. "None of that!" Filch yelled.
"Sorry sir." They both whispered. Minerva rose and helped Albus up.
"Alright you two. Professor Snape said that you two can finish with your wands and hurry to bed." Poppy said. She was at the doors of the Great Hall smiling.
"Thank you Madam Pomfrey" Minerva smiled. Filch walked out of the Great Hall getting slapped on the back of his head for interrupting by Poppy, leaving Minerva and Albus alone. They finished cleaning the Great Hall and hurried to bed. Both didn't dare say anything about that little incident.
Hope you liked it! Have a wonderful day or night.. Whatever!
