Chapter 11 – Lessons With Family
Alice-Rose POV
I was headed to History of Magic. I was excited to have Grandpa Carlisle teach us. He was so much better at telling people things than Professor Binns ever was. Most people would fall asleep during his lessons. Grandpa would have everyone on the edge of their seats.
We were all waiting in class for Professor Cullen to come in to class. When he entered, I thought he looked more like a vampire than his usual attire. He wore a white dress shirt, black waist coat, dark dress trousers, shiny shoes and a swirling robe that all the other teachers wore, that moved like the wings of a bat. He could equal Snape's fierceness if he wasn't as nice as he was.
"Hello class! I will be your professor for this year."
He kept the first class back easy. Grandpa Carlisle just tried to get to know all of us. It was a good lesson. Grandpa got everyone's names and a few facts about them during a 'getting to know you' thing.
He did teach a little but not too much and everyone enjoyed it a lot. I was really proud of my grandpa. He somehow managed to make one of the most boring subjects fun and enjoyable. We didn't have a lot of time discussing anything and we weren't given any homework either.
I waited after class to talk to Grandpa for a little bit. Once everyone had left I jumped up and gave him a hug. I squeezed him as tight as my half vampire strength would allow me. "You did great! Everyone was awake and paying attention and I know that everyone loves you."
"Thanks Ally. I really like teaching; I haven't done this kind of thing in all of my existence."
"But you're an amazing teacher! You must have done something, even just instructing someone on how to do something."
"I've never done this. I guess I'm just a natural at teaching."
"Of course you are, you can do anything." I pouted a bit at that fact.
"Awww, c'mon Ally, you know you'll be as good as if not better than any of us. You're already smarter than Emmett, but don't tell him that I told you that."
I giggled a bit at that, "Well, I have to go to class now. Love you Grandpa, I'll see you later."
I left the class after giving Grandpa Carlisle another hug and a kiss on his cheek.
We didn't have a very eventful day. Nothing happened except the usual classes with boring teachers and then a relatively quiet dinner for the rest of the day. The Weasleys and I went back to the common room and saw the usual clusters of people hanging around.
There was a girl sat on one of the couches with a potions book under her nose. She had jet black hair and pale skin.
