This Is Where
14. Teeth
"Gilderoy Lockhart," Parvati said in a sing-song voice as she brushed her hair.
"Did you see his eyes?" Lavender giggled.
"Much better than gross old Quirrell," Fay replied as she unpacked her trunk.
"I think I'll wear my lilac bow tomorrow. I read it's his favorite color," Lavender said, standing over her trunk and analyzing her extensive collection of hair bows.
"He's so dreamy," Ginger sighed from where she'd thrown herself onto her bed.
"His teeth are really white!"
The girls paused and turned to look at Hermione, who instantly turned red. Then they all started laughing.
"I didn't know Hermione could get show interest in something that didn't have words written all over it," Lavender whispered as Hermione bustled off to the bathroom to shower.
"Well he has written a lot of books," Parvati replied. "And his teeth are really white. I think I heard her mention that her parents are dentists, so I guess she likes that sort of thing."
"What's a 'dentist'?" Lavender asked, tilting her head to the side.
"Well, they're like Muggle Healers, except they take care of people's teeth."
"So they stick their fingers in people's mouths?" Lavender asked.
Parvati shrugged. "Basically."
"That's disgusting," she whispered, a horrified expression on her face.
Parvati tipped her head back and laughed.
