Chapter 5
After two nights of detention, we were tired from fooling around much of the night. We really did not want to go to class. The circles under my eyes were darker than ever before, it seemed. James and Sirius were very grumpy and irritable from their lack of sleep and they were grumbling amongst themselves.
We were all slowly making our way to class, Peter lagging behind us as usual observing the crowds with a dull look. As we entered Defense Against the Dark Arts, we made an attempt to sit where we used to but Professor Silvius quietly directed us back to our assigned seats. James and Sirius stomped to their seats and Peter drifted off towards his. While I made my way to my own, I noticed Lily was already sitting in her seat, her nose in a book.
I leaned over to see the title of the book and saw that is was Pride and Prejudice. I smiled to myself; Lily looked over at me and closed the book.
"What?" she said with a touch of defensiveness, "I like to read."
"Me too." I said with a nod finally sitting down in my seat.
Lily said to me sarcastically, "I'm sure you do."
"No I really do, that happens to be my one of my favorite books."
Lily looked at me surprised, "Okay then, who is the main character?"
"Elizabeth," I said simply.
"And who is she in love with?"
"That would have to be Mr. Darcy, yes?"
"Yeah it is." She smiled.
I grinned again as the bell rang and Professor Silvius began the class with a cheery start, "Okay, students, settle down, settle down. Now, today we will be learning about werewolves."
The grin slid off my face at his words. We're going to be learning about werewolves. Well this should be fun, I thought. I looked around the class to see the reactions of the other students.
Sirius was looking back at me with a look of apprehensiveness on his face and James was raising his eyebrows. I shrugged to each of them with a small smile on my face and looked behind me to Peter.
He seemed to be unfazed by the topic of today's lesson.
Gosh, Peter can be so slow I thought to myself and turned around in my seat to face the front of the class.
"What was that about?" Lily whispered from beside me as Professor Silvius started the lesson.
"Oh, nothing really." I said quietly turning my attention back towards the professor.
The lesson was going fairly well since we were only on the topic of how one becomes a werewolf. I knew that soon though we would be approaching the topic of what a werewolf is and how they act.
I was starting to get nervous, tapping my foot on the ground and looking towards James, trying to keep my eyes off the professor.
Lily touched my arm and I looked at her, "Do you need to go to the loo?"
"What?" I breathed.
"You keep tapping your foot like you have to go to the loo or something. You're shaking the desk."
"Oh, right. Sorry, no." I whispered back, a blush creeping up onto my cheeks.
"Now class, does anyone want to express their feelings on werewolves?" Professor Silvius said bringing my attention back to the topic at hand.
I saw Benjy Fenwick raise his hand and Professor Silvius called on him, "Yes, Mr. Fenwick."
"I, personally, think werewolves are evil," I raise my eyebrows at him, "One almost bit my Uncle once. It almost killed him!"
"Well that wasn't the werewolf's fault that your uncle was so close to it, when a person becomes a werewolf, they can't control themselves," Lily said, looking at Fenwick.
"Doesn't matter, they are murderous brutes that shouldn't even walk on this earth!" Fenwick snapped, folding his arms.
I noticed James glaring at Fenwick with utter loathing. Sirius commented from the other side of the room.
"How do you know if the real person is murderous? You probably don't even know what you're talking about!"
There was an uproar of murmurs from the class. I stared at my desk, silent. I felt the shame and humiliation rise within me.
"How could he know if all werewolves are murderous?!" Lily said furiously, her bright green eyes blazing.
Her comment lifted my spirits slightly. Professor Silvius attempted to quiet everyone down. Eventually, everyone quieted down, except for James and Fenwick, who were arguing profusely.
"Sirius is right! You don't even know what the hell you're talking about!" James fumed.
"Boys…" the professor warned.
"How do you know if werewolves are murderous or not?! Have you ever met one?" Fenwick thundered back.
James faltered, unsure of what to say. I stared at him fearful.
"N-no."
Fenwick mistook his hesitance for defeat.
"See, you can't prove it!"
"Boys!"
James stood up out of his seat, "And you're an ass!"
"BOYS!"
James and Fenwick looked at the professor who seemed angrier than the both of them combined together did.
"Potter," he said, unusually calm, "Go outside….right now."
James shoved his chair over and stormed outside, loudly slamming the door.
"Fenwick….although your comments in this class are heard, you still don't have all the fact and --don't you dare Mr. Black!" he snapped.
Sirius shrunk back in his seat, obviously put down from making a comment.
"I will be outside; I suggest you finish reading the chapter for homework."
Professor Silvius left the classroom, which was deadly quiet. I looked down at my hands…they were shaking.
I should have another chapter up soon...i think.. :)
