Chapter 5: Gifted
Abby was a bit confused as to why Proffesor Pin would want to see her. She hadn't done anything wrong, had she?
Maybe she thought that she had cheated somehow, but the truth was that her dad had taught her the wand movements for a few spells. Normally, he would've been punished for doing so, but since he worked at the Ministry of Magic, he was let off with a warning.
She collected her things, put them in her bag, and waited till the room was empty before walking up to the Proffesor's desk.
"Is there anything wrong, Proffesor Pin?"
The teacher shook her head and stood. "Not at all, Miss Lincoln. In fact, I am here to make you an offer to join, a sort of... club."
Abby followed Proffesor Pin with her eyes as she moved to the other side of the classroom.
"What kind of club?" she asked with suspicion.
"Even though this is my first year at Hogwarts," she began, "I have taught at other schools before, mainly Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. I've always sought out the most promising students in hopes of making them even greater. And so I would like to invite you to be one of those students."
Abby slung her bag over her shoulder and sighed. "Abby doesn't think so. I mean, no offense Proffesor, but Abby doesn't want to be treated differently than the rest by any teacher. Abby wants to prove that she can be a great witch without your help."
With that, she opened the door and was about to leave for Charms class, when the Proffesor called from behind, "I understand perfectly. However, you're free to change your mind, or simply come to me in a time of need."
"Thanks," Abby muttered as she scampered off to her class.
"Why would Abby need her help?" she asked herself.
