Prompt: Nonsense

Summary: Klaus is assigned an impossible task that even Sigurd can't help him with and it's the first time that Liz is actually quite helpful and he needs all her nonsense he can get with this particular task. Ah the few things that she excels in, compared to Klaus.

Klaus rubbed his temples for the countless time as he continued to stare at his piece of paper with details of his latest assignment. He had so many different tasks handed to him as a Prefect in his numerous years of being the student representative but this definitely was not in his skill set. Maybe the world had decided it was time to expand his horizons and how the headmaster even thought he could pull this off, was beyond him, but he could not have turned it down could he?

*Knock knock*

"Come in…" Klaus drawled lamely.

"I'm back" Sigurd greeted as he plopped down on their couch.

When Klaus didn't reply, Sigurd looked up in confusion; there was his moody cousin with the weight of the world on his shoulders as he was looking like he was getting super frustrated.

"Yeesh, what happened in the time I was gone, you look like the world is about to end?"

Klaus just shook his head silently.

Sigurd pursed his lips, growing serious and went over to look at what was laying in front of the other man.

It was a typical report, written by the headmaster with instructions for their next assignment...what could possibly… that's when Sigurd saw it.

Liz was in class lazily trying to hide behind her textbook, she was exhausted and was doing her best trying to stay awake to the end. Last night she foolishly stayed up with some girls from the dorm and ended up with little sleep, and she knew she would get a lecture and an extra lesson from her dear strict boyfriend Klaus Goldstein.

"Liz, hello?" whispered a nearby voice.

"Hmm…" she looked to her right and saw Elias's face super close.

Her eyes widened abruptly as she pulled back in shock. It was bad enough that she wasn't paying attention but she didn't' need to add accidently kissing Elias to the list of trouble she was in already.

He must have noticed how close I was when I glanced back up at him, he was blushing and looking down.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think you were going to lean that close when you finally noticed me calling you." he explained himself scratching his cheek in embarrassment.

I waved off his concern and gestured to what he wanted to say previously.

"I heard a rumor that Klaus has been put in charge of…" he began, when Luca bumped into him from behind and they really did end up in an accidental kiss…. Too bad Klaus walked in at that exact moment to teach their next lesson.

(RIP Elias)

Yup today was not a good day. The class howled in astonishment, how scandalous. Too bad for them that the Goldstein brothers were way too composed for that to get out of hand.

Klaus stared frostily in our direction and coughed to get the class's attention back onto him.

"Now if you don't mind, I would like to start today's lesson Mr. Goldstein and Ms. Hart…"

"Yes sir…" they replied breaking apart awkwardly. Liz sunk into her chair and Elias was on his way to becoming a permanent tomato.

When the bell rang for break, Elias booked it out of the classroom so fast that Liz only saw a yellow and blue blur. She took her time with her books. There was no running for her; otherwise she would be guilty even though it was an accident and Luca's fault, intentional? Who's to say?

"Extra lessons are in order bunny head" gritted out a familiar voice from above.

Klaus was practically seething. Liz smiled up him, trying to get him to calm.

Sigurd was having a coffee, when Randy burst through the door with Taffy not far behind.

"Hey Klaus, I heard…" he cheerfully greeted when he noticed that Klaus wasn't there and it was just Sigurd.

"Hello, what brings you here? I thought you were out on an assignment" Sigurd inquired while lounging with a book.

"Klaus just likes to send me away sometimes, the assignment itself was easy enough and I have stuff to get back to, so here I am" Randy brushed him off while sifting through documents on his desk.

"Did you already hear about Klaus's latest assignment from the headmaster?"Sigurd inquired while smirking in amusement.

"*chuckle* if you are referring to that than yes I know already, do you think he has what it takes this time?"

"Nope, he's already stressing about it"

"Poor guy"

"Yup"

Klaus and Liz were headed to the library, which was a bit unusual as he usually went back to the office, but perhaps he needed some books which wasn't that unexpected.

Liz wanted to hold hands but Klaus was a bit miffed still about accidently kissing Elias. Luca was in deep trouble the next time they crossed paths. She should have been paying more attention. Why did these things happen to her all the time?

Klaus was actual more worried about finding information about his new assignment then what Liz was worrying about.

He went to an aisle and started browsing.

Liz looked up in interest when she saw that they were in the magical creatures section.

"Klaus… what are we "she began to ask.

"I have an assignment, given to me by the headmaster to teach a first year class about Carbuncles and well truth be told I don't actually know much. So I have to prepare a lesson plan on it but of course it's not that easy either, as you may know, girls get excited about cute fluffy magical creatures and i've taught a class on it when I first became a Prefect but it didn't go that well due to the fact I couldn't control their reactions and it became a hug and squeal fest." explained Klaus.

"Pfft…. I'm sorry I'm not laughing at you but it's funny trying to imagine what you must have gone through *giggle*" she burst out into laughter.

A dust of a blush graced Klaus's cheeks for a mere moment but he collected himself and grabbed a few books off the shelf.

"I could help you out?" Liz suggested leaning on him slightly.

"You could but it wouldn't help my main problem" he reiterated.

"Women are easy, you just don't know our secrets that well" she teased, half serious.

"Secrets… Do tell" Klaus replied

"Well your very straight to the point and factual, they are going to be more distracted by the cute photos of the creatures than what you are saying, maybe if you transfigured one into your lesson and made them focus on that and tone down all the boring and not essential facts you would hold their attention long enough for them not to get out of control."

Klaus was pondering for a moment and then

"Please keep talking, your nonsense is actually starting to make sense" he asked well taking mental notes.

Liz smiled at him pleased that she was being helpful and knew what she was talking about for once.

The next week when Klaus was supposed to teach that difficult magical creature lesson to a first year's class, Liz decided to walk by to see how his lesson was running. After all she helped out but didn't mean that it was going to go according to plan and she was concerned that maybe Klaus, with his straightforward personality wouldn't be able to get his point across to the girls of the class.

To her surprise, Klaus had taken her suggestions and was standing in the middle of the class hold a Carbuncle as the class; mainly the girls surrounded him trying to pet it. She stopped and watched for a minute when Klaus caught her eye and winked at her. Liz blushed not expecting that and scrambled back to her chores and Elias who was helping today.

Ah her boyfriend kept surprising her everyday but she was proud of him nonetheless.
