Disclaimer: This is my first HP fan fiction! I read the book for the FIRST time yesterday after I saw the film. So naturally, I don't own any characters and whatnot.....J.K Rowling owns all....except Professor Jocelyn Bell. She is mine...so if you all really, ReaLLy, REALLY love my story ( which I hope you do) ask before you mooch her off of me :) note: this is a very wild thought but, allow me to dream :)
"Morning" Jocelyn said sleepily looking into Sevres's eyes. "Did you sleep well?"
"Never better" he replied, kissing her neck softly. " Best get down to breakfast."
They dressed and made they way to the dining hall. She stopped and asked " How is my face? It's awful, I know it!"
"No" said Severus " You have never looked more beautiful to me."
Jocelyn and Severus came up to the professor's table with everyone's eyes on Jocelyn. Her face was all bruised and swollen. All the professors asked about her and she told them she had fallen in the garden yesterday evening. Surprisingly, they all bought it and went to their classes. Her first class was very rowdy today, since Neville had accidentally set fire to his quill. Ron Weasly took out look at Professor Bell and raised his hand.
"Yes Ron?" she asked as she cleaned up the charred remains of Neville's quill.
" What happened to your face?" he asked curiously
" Oh, I fell down in the garden. I am so clumsy." she said
" When?" Harry Potter spoke up
" Oh, um... I don't know...last night." she stammered
" So no one hit you?" he asked
" No Mister Potter, no one hit me!" she said protectively
"Liarius GoHodius!" Harry said and flicked his wand and the spark of light flew and stopped directly over her head.
The whole class gasped as Jocelyn stood with her mouth wide open, not believing what that Harry Potter had done. Jocelyn was shocked and her face was flush in a second.
"Mister Potter, outside! Right Now" she snapped. "Everyone I want you to read pages 40-48 in your books. Don't let me catch you talking." She whipped around and caught Harry by the ear and drag him out of the classroom.
"What was that?! You have no right to undermine my authority like that in my classroom! Honestly, Harry I would think you had better sense" she said furiously.
" I was only concerned, Professor Bell. Why didn't you tell the truth?" Harry asked
" It would be better if you would not ask anymore questions, Harry. I could very well put you in danger if I told you." she said gently
" It's alright, Professor Bell" he said " I don't need to know."
Snape, at that moment, stepped out of his classroom. He turned to Jocelyn and Harry "Causing trouble again I see, Potter" he said.
"Oh none at all, Professor Snape" she said quickly while turning to Harry " Now for what you did in there, I will have to take away 20 points from Gryiffindor. Come along, I have wasted enough time on the matter. Goodbye Professor ." She led Harry back to the class and glanced back at Severus who was glaring at Harry.
"Ok class time to start! Can anyone give me a quick recap of what you just read?" she asked, trying to keep her mind focused on the lesson. Like always, Hermione raised her hand.
"Yes Hermione?" she asked
" Tobias Hopkins was the wizard who developed the art of dueling." She said simply
" Very good, 3 points to Gryiffindor." Jocelyn said pacing in front of the room. " Who was he married to? Draco?"
" Fanny McGinty." He said
" Excellent, 3 points to Sytherin." she said as the bell rang " Please write a 1 scroll paper about what was on pages 40-48." she finished and went inside her office. She heard a rapping on the door and she open it, and Severus came into the room.
" What did Potter do now?" Severus said giving her a quick kiss
" He knows! He did the lie spell on me! The whole class knows someone hit me, but not who." She said panicking " What if a student tells Quirrell?"
" He won't do anything. If he attacks you again, everyone will know something wrong. Dumbledore will probably look more into the matter and he could be discover." Severus said
" What is it that Quirrell wants anyways? What is he hiding?" Jocelyn said, thinking out loud
" Possibly something having to do with the Dark Arts" he said " After all, he is the defense against the dark arts professor."
" Right" she said.
" Possibly something to do with the Philosopher's Stone?" Severus said, leaning on the desk while she paced.
" Yes, but why does he need it? For him?" She asked
" No, I wouldn't think for him. Perhaps, someone else, like he who must not be named?" He said
" No! He is thought to be dead!" Jocelyn said, doubtfully.
" Exactly, thought to be dead, not actually." Severus said worriedly
They both looked at each other in shock, thinking that Quirrell could be in cahoots with he who must not be named. He was dead, wasn't he?
"Morning" Jocelyn said sleepily looking into Sevres's eyes. "Did you sleep well?"
"Never better" he replied, kissing her neck softly. " Best get down to breakfast."
They dressed and made they way to the dining hall. She stopped and asked " How is my face? It's awful, I know it!"
