Chapter 9: Explanations not granted
I followed the headmaster into his study where I had only been once before. He sat at his desk and I sat across from him.
"So Maybella do you mind giving me a play by play of what exactly happened yesterday after supper?" He asked holding a peacock feather in his hand. I'm really confused why he must hold it, but if he feels the need I'm fine.
"Well I saw Robert appear out of thin air and I asked him to see me in the hall for a little chat." I said as all of a sudden the peacock feather started scribbling what I said down on a notebook. "We were standing by the stairs and before I knew it I had a sharp pain rip through my head. I woke up in the hospital wing the next morning."
"Okay so you really have no clue what's happening?" he asked like I was mentally retarded.
"No! If you do would you mind filling me in?" I exploded because I still had the pounding headache and had no clue what was going on.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I am just frustrated because no one not even me seems to know what happened to you." He apologized.
"It's okay. I would like to ask your permission to skip my classes today because I'm not feeling so hot. I refuse to go back to the nurse because she wants to give me some potion." I asked scared he was going to say no.
"it's up to you, but if you don't go to class people will think that something serious happened and they might try and pry it out of you." He said.
"Okay I'm going to class then. " I stood up and walked out of the room.
I went back to my room to get my schedule. I couldn't even think about Robert at the moment my head was still spinning. My first class was spells 101. Oh man this was going to be a freaking long day!
I walked into my spells 101 class which by the way was room 140 which was on the opposite side of the school grounds and I had to run there just to make it one time. The room was huge! It had bleachers off to the sides and a sort of runway going through the middle. I wonder what the heck you could use a runway for when you were learning about spells. Duh! We were going to use the spells we learned on each other! That doesn't sound very safe! A tall skinny woman with brown hair in a loose bun on top of her head walked in. I am guessing this was the teacher, but she was gorgeous!
"Hello Class, if you wouldn't mind to take your seats we can begin now." She said in a stern voice. "My name is . I am not strict, but my tolerances for foul play is low, so don't aggravate me. I hope you will all enjoy me class. I have found in the past that the boys enjoy it more because it will be hands on or should I say wands." I had had a feeling this class was going to be very abusive on my body, but who cares when I get to learn spells! Ms. Lisso continued on about safety and class rules. She also told us that we couldn't own our own wand until we paced her class with above mediocre. The grading system was low, mediocre, average, and expert. She talked the rest of the class and then dismissed us at 8:40. Well first bell was a breeze let's hope the rest of the day would follow in that pattern because that headache was just getting worse.
