Chapter 8: Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On

It was Monday morning, during breakfast in the Great Hall. It was subdued, due to the fact that is was the first day of classes, and the fact that their Headmistress was decidedly missing from the staff table.

The great wooden doors flew open, causing the already quiet atmosphere to silence completely.

Alaina strode calmly into the room, looking for the entire world as if her being late was an everyday occurrence.

At the head table Andross was smirking into his breakfast. He glanced around to see that everyone had their eyes trained on their, obviously, gorgeous headmistress.

Alaina wore a pair of faded blue jeans that accented her long legs and showed off her firm arse. The pants tucked into her favorite pair of biker style dragon scale boots. She wore a tight T-shirt, which came to about her hips, which read: Don't Feed the Wildlife. Over the T-shirt she wore a leather jacket that matched her boots. Over her eyes she wore a pair of black sunglasses, and her hair was drawn back in its usual braid.

Alaina walked quietly up to the head table, her boots making little noise in the silence, and seated herself in her throne like chair.

Andross sat on her left side, and Remus sat on her right, almost like bodyguards –not that she needed them.

"Where have you been?" Remus' voice sounded strained in its whisper. The sight of the woman in those jeans, had sent the werewolf's blood pressure skyrocketing. And the sight of so many people noticing how amazingly hott she looked at once, had him wanting to hex everyone who so much as blinked wrong. The look on his face was proof enough of that.

Alaina smirked and slowly drew the sunglasses from her eyes. "I had business to attend to. Is that okay with you?" Alaina quirked a brow at the man.

Andross chuckled softly into his tea. He found it harder to control when Sirius decided to join in the conversation.

"Alaina, if I wasn't gay –and didn't have Lucius- I would totally jump you right now. You're effing hott!" Sirius' eyes glittered mischievously, he knew –almost immediately- what the woman was up to. In fact, all the teachers that Alaina hired personally –besides Remus- seemed to be catching on quickly.

"Language." The reprimand hadn't completely left the woman's mouth before she was interrupted.

"I agree." Lucius stated rather calmly, his voice its usual indifferent tone. "In fact, if you would like to join Sirius and I sometime, I have no qualms with it."

Remus' eyes nearly bugged out of his head and Andross was chuckling so heard he was minutely shaking the table.

Luckily for the staff, conversations had returned full force to the students before Alaina had even fully sat down.

"Harry and I agree." Severus stated his voice sounding almost bored, considering the topic of discussion. "Neither of us would mind if you decided to join us."

Harry nodded his head. "As long as you bring the chocolate." That had a few people wondering.

McGonagall, Flitwick, and Hooch all looked rather disgusted. While Madam Sprout looked rather amused, though she tried to hide it from the other three.

Draco and Hermione were smirking the entire time. "Sorry my dearest wife but I, as well, must offer up our humble bed and services, for this lovely angel."

"There's nothing humble about our bed." Hermione stated rather calmly. "But we offer it up anyways."

By this point even Alaina was finding it hard to keep from laughing out loud, it was getting ridiculous. They're really pushing their luck with this. I'm not even pretty.

Even Firenze got in on the act. "It has been sometime since I have been with a human." The had the entire teaching staff appraising the beautiful half-man. Lucius made an approving noise in the back of his throat, causing Sirius to send his lover a glare.

Andross draped his arm over the back of Alaina's chair and leaned in close to the woman to whisper, though they both knew the entire staff table would hear. "I would always be willing to have a repeat performance of that one night stand, darling Aly."

Alaina rolled her eyes. "Heaven help me."

Andross grinned at the woman.

By this time, Remus was nearly hyperventilating. /Breathe human, breathe!/

Damn it all to hell! Remus mentally roared before rising and storming from the Great Hall. The staff, the ones that Alaina actually liked anyways, all shared a look.

Alaina had a slightly worried frown on her face, while Severus and Sirius winced. Besides Remus, those were the two who had come to know the woman the best.

Sirius was the first to speak on the be half of his friend. "Perhaps we took that joke a little to far."

Andross took a sip of his tea before he responded. "I was being perfectly serious."

I told you it would be short. I'm thinking the next chapter may be a bit longer, but I'm not sure. The chapter after that should be longer.

Review please!
