*Hides behind computer chair* Hey guys… I missed you. *Dodges vase* Loves you!
I don't own Harry Potter.
The room fell silent as the projector in the front fell open. The page from the book was enlarged for a greater effect.
"Now, who can tell me how we can distinguish a werewolf and a true wolf?" Professor Snape asked.
Everyone looked down at their books or at the wall. All but Hermione whose hand shot up, hitting Sierra in the face. She fell back off her chair cursing and holding her eye. It went unnoticed by Snape. Jess was laughing lightly at her while Katie whispered the answer in Jess's ear.
"Anyone?" he asked, ignoring Hermione's hand and Jess's laughter.
Katie was about to hit Jess but froze as an evil smile spread across Snape's face. Sierra finally sat back in her seat and smacked Jess in the ear, "Turn around." she muttered.
"You okay?" Jess asked, poking Katie.
"That's the face of evil." she whispered gesturing to Snape.
"Are you telling me that Professor Lupin didn't teach you anything about Werewolves?"
"Hermione already told you," Zack said suddenly, "we haven't gotten that far…"
"Silence!" Snape snarled. "I never thought that I would come across the class of third years who've never learned about the difference's of a werewolf and a true wolf. Headmaster Dumbledore will be informed."
"But sir!" Hermione pleaded, her hand of steal still in the air, "the wolf differs in several small ways…"
"That's the second time you have interrupted me and the last time. Five points from Gryffindor for being an Insufferable know-it-all."
Hermione put her hand down and her head in her arms. Small sobs escaped from her chest. Sierra put her hand on Hermione's back and patted it. That's when Zack stood up with a scowl on his face.
"Don't Pieper." Draco whispered, trying to pull him back down.
"Professor, who the hell do you think you are making Granger cry? You feel like a big strong man? Huh? You're a bloody Professor who's supposed to make us feel safe and like we are welcomed here. But you're just a bully, a git, and a bully." he sat back down and nodded to Ron, "And Weasley agrees."
"Yeah! You… you git!" Ron squeaked.
The class sat in fear and silence. They had gone to far. Snape walked toward Zack's desk silently as the rest held their breaths. Jess scooted her chair away from Zack as Snape leaned over and growled, "Detention Mr. Pieper. Never make a fool out of me in front of my class again." he turned on Ron, "The same for you Mr. Weasley."
No one made a sounds during the rest of their lessons. The only sound was the quills scratching on the parchment as the class took notes. Snape sat in Professor Lupin's desk looking over their past assignments.
"Zack, pst, Zack."
He turned around to see Sierra with a note in her hand. He took it and read, "You do know that Snape's going to make you pay." He looked around then his eyes stopped on Casey. He nodded then turned back to finish his notes.
Katie was sitting in her chair drawing a picture of a Raven when her hair flew up from a burst of wind. Jess was sitting with her hand in the air, waiting, contemplating on whether she should put it down or not. One by one quills stopped scratching and the only noise the Snape muttering to himself.
"Put your hand down." Katie whispered. It stayed in the air with Jess waiting. Finally after a few minutes Snape looked up. He stood then walked over to her desk. Both of his hands gripped the corners of her desk and his face was menacing. Her hand lowered and she spoke, "What do you do when you're done?"
Katie put her hand over her mouth stifling a gasp as so many did.
"Excuse me? What did you say?" Snape asked, leaning in closer.
"I am finished taking notes. What do I do with them?" she pronounced each syllable. Snape put his hand out and she gently placed her paper in it with a smirk. Without a word he turned and sat back at the desk.
"Brown nose." Jess turned around, her eyes connected with Erin's. She was poking her nose with her middle finger. She turned back around with a growl, laid her head on her desk, and relaxed.
When the bell rang, Snape held them back.
"You will all write me an essay on how you recognize and kill a werewolf. I want two rolls of parchment on the subject and it will be handed to me Monday right when you walk into class. Pieper, Weasley you two will stay behind." The class almost killed one another as they fought to get out.
Jess and Sierra were waiting for Zack to hurry as Katie ran to meet up with George in the Great Hall. "Yes sir, I will be there!" He walked out with a grin on his face. "I get to clean the Potions classroom next Friday night." Jess nodded. "But sadly, I don't get to hang with my two favorite ladies. Don't have to much fun without me." he laughed.
Shannen woke the next morning around seven. She rubbed her eyes, got dressed, and walked down to the Great Hall. She sat at the Ravenclaw table with Luna and Katie. She was listening to the two girls talking about the game when something flashing caught her eye. She looked at the Gryffindor table and saw Seamus covered in black soot. A giggle escaped her lips. He glanced over and patches of red could be seen through the black. He waved and she waved back at him smiling. It was an unspoken meeting. On the outside you would just think they were being friendly but on the inside nothing was further from the truth. Seamus stood up and walked over to her.
"Are you going to the Quidditch game?" he asked. Shannen nodded with a grin. "Will you accompany me to the event?"
Shannen nodded and the two walked together to the Quidditch pitch.
It was game day. The stands were full of students complaining about the rain. It was falling and hitting the umbrellas like bullets. As the announcer was talking about the rain, Jess and Zack were walking around having people place bets. Jess was holding a clipboard with Hufflepuff and Gryffindor on the top. "Place your bets! 798 on Gryffindor and only 3 on Hufflepuff. Place your bets people come on!" Headmaster Dumbledore, Snape, and Minerva were sitting at the top box as they walked up. "Place your bets." Jess said handing them the clipboard. Albus looked it over and marked 10 and his name under Gryffindor. Minerva the same. Snape however placed 5 under Hufflepuff.
"Great bet sir, but if you don't win look how many people you owe." Jess said. He shook his head and waved her away.
"Alright everyone, take your seats the game is about to begin. Alright, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff take their places and they're off! Gryffindor is off to a great start as they get the quaffle. Cedric Diggory…"
"GO CEDRIC!"
"is getting a call from his lady. OH Fred… George… A Weasley hit's a bludger at something yellow. I can't see a thing out there! This game sure is a wet one. OH! Gryffindor scores!" Boo's and cheers erupted from the stands but son were drowned out by the thunder. No one could see what was happening. "This game blows." Jess mumbled.
"WHAT?" Katie shouted.
"I SAID YOUR MOM IS NICE!"
"THANK YOU!"
"Now, I think Hufflepuff just scored. Something yellow just threw something into a hoop and I hear a groan from Wood so yeah."
"JORDAN TALK LOUDER!" Zack snapped.
"Something's happening… Potter is rushing upwards and Diggory is following… Diggory is retreating and HARRY POTTER IS FALLING FROM THE SKY!" Everyone was on their feet trying to see as a few Dementors floated out of the sky.
The air grew colder and Harry fell softy on the ground. Screams drowned out the thunder and the Professor's told everyone to get inside the castle and out of the rain.
Damn mouse wont work… Always?
