Herbology Class
Albus and Scorpius were making their way to their first Herbology class without looking where they were walking. They were almost at the greenhouses, when Scorpius crashed into someone. A girl.
"Ouch!" Exclaimed the girl dropping her books.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't see where I was walking…" Scorpius said dropping to his knees and helping her with her books but suddenly fell silent when he noticed that the girl he had bumped into is none other than the cute girl from the boats, Al's cousin Rose.
"Oh hey Rose! Are you taking Herbology now too?" Albus asked.
Scorpius got Rose's books and got up on his feet.
"Yeah…" Rose said shyly taking back her books from Scorpius' hands.
Scorpius looked into Rose's blue eyes giving her a small smile. Rose looked into Scorpius' grey eyes
"Thank you…"
"You're welcome!"
Albus looked back and forth between Rose and Scorpius.
"Um Rose; this is my friend Scorpius Malfoy…" Albus started.
"I know…" Rose said smiling at the blond boy and extending her hand.
"And Malfoy, this is my cousin Rose Weasly…" Albus continued.
"I know…" Malfoy said reaching for Rose's hand giving her a friendly handshake and his most charming smile.
Albus coughed uncomfortably.
"Well guys we need to get to class now." Al said pushing them into the greenhouses.
Rose sat with the rest of the Gryffindor students while Albus and Scorpius sat with the Slytherin kids. Rose sat next to Dom. She whispered something into Dom's ear and she started to poke and tease Rose making her blush slightly. Malfoy had a stupid grin plastered onto his face.
"You could at least make it less obvious that you're hitting on my cousin mate!" Al said elbowing Malfoy's ribs.
"I, uh, um, well…" Malfoy stuttered nervously.
"Ok students settle down." Professor Longbottom exclaimed commanding the attention of both Gryffindor and Slytherin students.
"I'm Professor Neville Longbottom, and we'll be learning herbology in this class. Before we start our class, does anyone have a question they might like to ask?"
As soon as he finished a Gryffindor boy raised his hand.
"Yes, Mr. Morris."
"Did you really kill Lord Voldemort's snake with a single stoke?" The boy asked enthusiastically.
"Yes… yes I did. Does anybody else have a question?"
Another girl raised her hand.
"Is it true that Lord Voldemort asked you to join him and you bravely said that you'd never join him?"
"Yes, I told him that I would join him when hell froze over and then continued to fight… Another question?"
A few more kids raised their hands. Neville sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Ok, everybody that has a question please raise their hands."
Most of the classroom raised their hands.
"And now, if your question is related to my involvement in the Second Wizarding War, please lower your hands."
And with that all of the students with raised hands lowered their hands. Except one Gryffindor boy.
"Yes Mr. Finnigan."
"Is it true that you had a toad when you were in Hogwarts?"
Well technically it wasn't a question about the war.
"Yes I did." Neville said.
Trevor Finnigan turned to his friend and playfully punched him.
"You see, Professor Longbottom had a toad too and he's cool, toads are cool." Trevor whispered.
Neville felt really flattered.
"Well for those of you with questions about the war stay after class and I'll answer all of them. So lets begin with our class…"
