Chapter 4: Care For Magical Creatures and Herbology

Dumbledore and the rest of the 6th year Gryffindors' next lesson is the Care For Magical Creatures lesson, together with the Slytherins. As Professor Perseus Jupiter, a handsome young man with gold hair and blue eyes, went to get the Hippogriffs for them, Malfoy walked to Dumbledore with an unpleasant look on his face. "Is it true then? That you actually went to chat with a Gryffindor girl?"

Dumbledore didn't respond.

"What a big surprise! This will probably goes down in the History of Magic years later! I can see the words now: Albus Dumbledore, the leader of the Gryffindor boys, never talks to girls. But today, he breaks his rule!" Malfoy teased unmercifully while the Slytherin boys snickered.

"Can we use the blackmail scheme now?" Nicholas asked Wood.

Wood nodded and grinned. "Oh look! It's Professor Adara!" He yelled and pointed towards the castle.

Malfoy stopped teasing and looked around excitedly. "Where?!" He realized what he was doing and stopped.

"What's the matter, Malfoy? Why are you so excited for?" William asked innocently.

Malfoy turned red.

"Is Aidoneus Malfoy, leader of the Slytherin boys, has a crush on Professor Adara?" Don asked loudly.

All the students had different reactions: Gryffindors boys: trying to keep a straight face. Gryffindor girls: Neutral. Slytherins boys: gaped at their leader. Slytherins girls: gasped in horror.

Malfoy's face turned into a darker shade of red, he quickly went back to his place and was surrounded by the Slytherins with their hundreds of questions routine.

"OH SHUT THE BLOODY HELL UP!" Malfoy yelled.

The Gryffindor boys finally went down with laughter. "Great! Now we can use Professor Adara for protection!" Nicholas said happily.

"All right, class! Pay attention here!" Professor Jupiter said as he led a couple of Hippogriffs out.



While the 6th year Gryffindors were having Care For Magical Creatures, the 1st year Gryffindors were having Herbology.

Minerva was listening to Professor Rose talking about useful muggle plants when Madeline Hooch, who was sitting beside her, whispered: "Is it true?"

"Is what true?" Minerva asked back.

"That Albus Dumbledore actually talks to you?"

"Well, yes."

Madeline stared at her with her yellow eyes widened.

"What?" Minerva asked again.

"But Dumbledore never chats with girls before, not even once! He thinks that he should be focusing on his studies first, and then he moves on to relationships, so he never talks to girls. I heard these from the 6th year girls."

Minerva frowned. "That's weird."

Madeline nodded. "I know, but it works, now he has very good grades in every subjects. Because he has more time than the other Houses' boys who are fooling with girls and he use those time for studying. The Gryffindor boys follow his style because they notice how effective it is. Now all the older Gryffindor boys have grades that leveled with Ravenclaw boys."

"Oh. So I am the first girl that he ever talks to?"

Madeline nodded and they saw the girls sitting across them pointing and giggling at something behind them. "What are they looking at?" Madeline asked as she and Minerva turned around. And they saw the 6th year Gryffindor students attending their Care For Magical Creatures lesson outside the Green House. Albus Dumbledore was listening to Professor Jupiter attentively.

"Oh, him. You know, even if he doesn't talks to girls, they always attract to him. I wonder why." Madeline said as the girls giggled. "Hey, pipe down, we don't want any points to be take off from Gryffindor." She hissed and went back to her work.

Dumbledore was listening to Professor Jupiter when he felt that someone was looking at him. He looked around and saw looking at him. He grinned and waved at her. She hesitated whether to wave back. The girls across the table were already staring at her as if she suddenly had grown leaves out of her head. 'Why not? There is no denial that Albus and I are friends.' She thought, smiled at Dumbledore and waved back. The girls gasped.

"Miss McGonagall, are you listening?"

Uh oh. Minerva turned to look at Professor Rose. Dumbledore struck out his tongue and looked panic.

"Uh, yes. Professor." Minerva lied.

"Well, can you tell me what does the latex of the muggle plant Angsana for?"

Minerva thought hard.

"It's used for native medicine in the muggle world." Madeline hissed.

"Oh! It's used for native medicine in the muggle world." Minerva answered.

"Very good, 5 points to Gryffindor."

The class clapped loudly.

Minerva whispered. "Thanks."

"Don't mention it." Madeline smiled.
