The first class went smoother than expected. Everyone had to admit that Professor Mcgonagall knew how to keep the class in order, even if she could do nothing about the nasty glares. Sad thing was that they already had homework and it as just the first two hours. Charms on the other hand, was mostly pratical, with less theory. They learned Wingardium Leviosa which Giovanna found easy and aced in her second try, causing an exciting clap from the small teacher that complimented her on her wrist mouvement. Anissa did it after another few tries, and Gigi watched happily as the brat shook his wand angrily, his feather not even budging. He lift his head, catching her sneer and cocked brow, mocking him while she was lazily making her feather fly all over the room.
"Well, he doesn't look quite right, do you know him?" Anissa asked, looking over to the red faced boy that had thrown his wand on the table and was now crossing his arms looking over her friend, probably muttering profanities.
"He's a brat, that's all there is to know, honestly look at him. He's the exact exemple of everything I hate, thinking that he is better that every one else walking around as if he was some kind of king. Did you see how disgusted he looked when poor Sally sat next to him in transfiguration ? Bell end, as if she had a choice, poor thing." Gigi said, a nasty look on her face.
"He doesn't have the face of a rat, now, does he?" Nini looked over, a sly smile playing on her features.
Gigi looked over to the boy, his face was pale and still had some roundness to it, dark grey eyes under thick black lashes eyeing his friend's wand work with curiosity. He had pretty lips, Gigi thought, like a girl's. She shrugged and Nini laughed a little with her friend's childhish reaction.
"Lunch! Thank Merlin, I thought I would die of-" A hard push on her shoulder made her stop talking and look at the brat that did it.
"I'm sorry," he said, not looking sorry at all. "I didn't see you."
"What is that supposed to mean?!" Gigi said, taking a step forward, her voice going higher than expected.
"Let's just say that it would be hard to see you in a crowd." The sneer on his face annoyed her in a way that she just wished she could punch it off, sadly her physical condition didn't allow such behavior.
"It's fine Brown, I didn't expect much from a boy that can barely hold his wand correctly." Go me! Where did that come from? Thank Merlin I did not stutter His face made clear that he wanted to rip her throat out which made her slightly worried, well who are we fooling, she wasn't a Gryffindor, she was clearly shitting her pants.
"Are you going to lunch?" Snape said interrumpting the little scene. The girls nodded and left with as much dignity as they could.
"I've never been so happy to see anyone in my whole entire life honestly, I thought he was going to Avada me right there." Nini swallowed loudly, probably just as scared as she was.
"You should stop messing with him, you know? He could hurt you."
"Are we even talking about the same person? Clearly you haven't seen him cast or try to cast a simple levitating spell." Nini said with a sneer, causing Gigi to laugh loudly and Snape to, wait, was that a smile?
They got to the great Hall, leaving Snape in the way after they crossed path with his friend, a gryffindor redhead. Their evening was quiet, they had chocolate cake for desert, studied a bit and laughed about the day's incident mocking how the brat looked a hell lot like a beef when he got mad.
Gigi didn't laugh as much the next morning, in fact, she was quite livid and sat quietly at her table.
"Are you alright, you haven't said much this morning." Nini was looking at her friend worryingly.
"Huh? Sorry, I just, don't feel well." She felt even sicker that when she woke up.
"Afraid of flying lessons, Nolano? You look terrible today." The brat added with a sly smile.
"I'm not afraid, Brown, and I would gladly return the compliment but you look terrible every day." Gigi said, color back on her face.
"Stop calling me that, you, stupid.. cow!" The brat added, looking for his words. The petite girl was stopped in her soon-to-be flow of insults by mail comming in.
Two letters arrived in front of her, she pet the owl, distracted by her letters and gave some of her breakfast to it. Facing her, the brat was affectionately petting a small, grey owl and talking to it. He eyed the letter he received suspiciously and as he read it, he seemed more and more appalled and looked at the brunette he was facing as if she had grown a second head.
"Whatchulookinat" Gigi said while chewing on a piece of bread that was clearly to big for her mouth. With a last disgusted look, he shoved the piece of paper in his pocket and got out of table.
"Someone's got his panties in a twist!" Gigi said loud enough for him to hear.
"We haven't even finished our first week yet and you've already made an enemy." Nini said disapprovingly.
"You forgot about the gryffindor gits, still mad at them for the 'rat episode'." Her friend answered glaring at the group, that was talking loudly in the red and gold table.
Anissa sighed, taking a glance at Snape that merely shrugged his shoulder, advising Giovanna to eat more and talk less.
"I'm not doing this." Gigi eyed her broom as if it had some kind of contagious desease.
"So no one is worried they're going to get their crotch ripped?" She complained loudly.
"Don't be gross." Nini said looking slightly more worried after her friend's sudden concern.
"Alright, now that we saw how to summon it, get on your brooms. Don't worry, no one is going to get anything ripped" The professor said, looking at a blushing Giovanna. "Kick the ground and start to fly, if you feel confortable and want to go a little higher just lift the end up. Alright?"
Anissa climbed on her broom and immediately kicked off, in the same time as the brat.
"Come on Gigi, it feels great!" She said smiling brightly, her cheeks slightly pink, Gigi noticed the same tint on the brat's cheeks, a small smile on his face.
"STOP IT! What do you think you're doing!? You're Ravenclaws not Gryffindors, what are you two fighting about? I don't even want to know, come on, we're going to your Head's office." Professor Bibine yelled, separating two Ravenclaw students.
"I WILL SEND A PREFECT TO TAKE CARE OF YOU, DON'T DO ANYTHING DANGEROUS!" at this point, she was far away and screaming her sentences.
"That was unexpected." Gigi said to her fellow housemate.
"Fucking hate those birds, they rink presomptuous, I hope they get detention." He added nastily. Gigi laughed at that and they both looked over to their friends in a small broom race.
"Fuck, let's do it!" The boy, was it Wilkes? Kicked off as well and joigned the multiple students that were happily flying around.
Giovanna grasped her broom and climbed on it, her breath heavy. She kicked off the ground and was up in the air. She couldn't move, paralized, her thighs hurting from clenching around the piece of wood.
"Oh but you are afraid" The brat said with a smile "Nothing clever to say now heh?" she couldn't take her eyes off of her fingers but scoffed a little, you know, to protest. Well it wasn't very effective since last thing she knew, a hand had taken the front of her broom and thrusted it upwards, making her go dangerously higher. She screamed loudly. As he let her go, she realized that they were much higher.
"Oh no, please, God nonono.." Her voice, barely a whisper got more trembling as her knuckles got whiter, tight against her broom. The brat was now circling around her saying things she could not hear, there was a loud buzz in her head, filling everything, her heartbeats became louder, as if she had hearts all over her body to the tip of her fingers.
"Hey? Are you listening? Are you okay? Nolano! Don't faint on me, I can't carry you!"
He grasped the end of her broom and got closer to her.
"I'm going to get us to the ground, ok? Just hold on and don't panic." she grasped his wrist tightly, fearing that he might let go of her. After the first surprise, he got them down, while whispering reassuring words to her.
"What have you done to her? Gigi are you okay? Let's take you to the nursery." Anissa went over to her friend that was now sitting on the ground, legs shaking and took her to the nursery.
"It's fine really, I just don't feel safe up there." Gigi said trying to reassure Nini. "You, on the other hand, looked brilliant over there, it's like you were made to be on a broom." She added, smiling brightly at her friend, that was now staring with a dreamy look at the walls.
"I always loved heights, but flying, feeling the wind blow on your face, the adrenaline, it's just...Brilliant." Nini sighed happily.
"Good thing is, we have a lunch break right now and emotions make me hungry."
"Wath doesn't make you hungry? Oh wait, flying lessons." Nini said, teasing her friend who sticked her tongue out in response.
Gigi averted the pretty insistant gaze of the 'flying' brat all day, and avoided his way. When they finished the little homework they had left, both girls decided to take a walk by the lake taking Willibat with them. Snape refused to go, claiming he still had work, but blushed a little at the invitation.
They talked for hours about their lives, how they missed the sun and laughed at all sort of anticts they done. They went back to the Common room, dischieveled and laughing, Willibat in Gigi's arms. She catched the blank stare of the brat but decided to ignore it and have a nice evening. She would sleep well that night, happy that she had made a friend, even considering telling her her secret, but decided against it, it was too early.
