His shaggy red hair is dripping with mud, and I can't help but laugh.
Could I possibly be crushing on my friend?
Okay, so these chapters are short, because once we get more towards their summer and end of POA there's going to be at least three really long ones, so I'm saving my energy lol. Plus, this is exam month so I've had to study and come home to chores and work and tiredness. Sorry loves!
Where's Professor Lupin?" I asked as I walked into Defense class with Hermione at my side.
Snape looked up from his textbook and scowled.
"He's ill. So I'll be teaching the lesson today. Sit down." He says. I roll my eyes at Hermione and we sit down. Other kids slowly start filtering in, but Hermione is worried because Potter is nowhere to be seen.
Snape was just about to start when Harry came running in, but stopped dead when he saw the evil potions professor.
"Where's professor Lupin?" Harry asked.
"Ill. Now sit down mr. Potter."
"What's he got?"
"Did I not just tell you to sit down? Do it or there's a detention with your name on it."
Harry slowly sat down.
"Go to page 394." Snape drawled and I flipped through my textbook till I found it.
"Werewolves?" Hermione whispers to me. I shrug and pull out my quill and ink.
"But, professor. We aren't meant to start on werewolves for a long time. We've just started on-" Snape quickly shut her down and insisted we write an essay on them. Halfway through our essay writing time, Hermione leaned over to me.
"Does this seem... odd to you?"
"What? No. Of course not." I replied, re dipping my quill.
"Hmm. But why does he want us to learn about werewolves, of all things! And on a day Professor Lupin is sick..."
"Granger, Black! Detention!"
I lightly glared at my bushy haired friend and went back to my essay. Another five minutes later and something dawned on me.
"Hermione."
"What?" She whispered back.
"You're not inferring that Professor Lupin is a... werewolf?" I asked. She looked at me with a serious look on her face.
"It would sense wouldn't it?"
I looked at her like she was crazy.
"No way. He's not. The ministry wouldn't have let Dumbledore hire him if he was!"
Another five minutes went by before I spoke up again.
"Although... he did say the ministry wouldn't let him claim his rights as godfather..."
"See? I'm telling you, I think Lupin's a werewolf!" She whisper yelled and I had to bite back a laugh, "what's so funny?"
"Lupin? As in Lupine: related to or resembling a wolf. Savage, ravenous, and/or predatory? I find that quite ironic." I said, rolling my eyes.
"Hmm. You're right. Maybe I'm just being ridiculous." Hermione said.
"Well. I'll go with it if you want. It would be hipocrytical to not believe what you think when I got upset about the tea leaves." I said.
"Black! Another nights detention!" Snape yelled.
"Damnit." I muttered.
