CHAPTER THREE
"My schedule, well lets see German, Potions, Herbology, History of Magic, Charms, Foods, Transfiguration, and Defence against the Dark Arts" Lily was telling Dani and Jeal on the first day a school.
"Oh, we only have German and Potions together this year" Jeal said and "This is going to be a long, I can tell already" and she put her head down counting something with her fingers.
"Jeal its not so bad. Just be glad you don't have Arithmancy II or Ancient Ruins II" Dani told her sister as she read the Daily Prophet. Jeal looked up.
"Yeah but that because you are an over achiever" and again she put her head down. Dani and Lily smiled at each other over Jeal little tantrum. Looking over her schedule again, Lily sipped her cranberry juice.
Students were required to take seven years of Potions, DADA, Transfiguration and charms. You had to take seven years of all those because they were considered the hardest to master and the most important. Astrology was three years and she finished that class in her third year, History was five years and she had two more years of that, and Herbology was four years finishing this year. Of course you could take seven years of all classes there was no limit, but after the required years you had to take, most of the class were independent. You got the books and the teacher would teach you some times but mostly it was all just book work just because a really small amount of students took more then one or two. The other extra curricular classes were about the same. They were teacher taught till about the second year and then from then on books.
It would be her first year taking German with Dani and Jeal. It was required to take two years of foreign language and Lily, Dani and Jeal decided they would rather take German rather then Spanish, Italian or French. It would also be her first year taking foods. Originally Jeal had signed up for that class but she didn't get in for she got another of her class choices.
The bell rang and Lily grabbed an apple to eat on the way, grabbed her bag with her books and Dani, Jeal and herself started to walk to the German class which was on the third floor South Wing. Getting to the floor and walking to their class only to find the door locked, the girls waited for it to open. A second later Lily saw Scorpius turn the corner and was walking towards them, but than a second later Falk was next to him.
Lily had seen that he had had not yet seen her for he was looking at the floor his shaggy wavy blond hair covering his silver blue eyes. Lily got behind Jeal and Dani and leaning against the wall, hoping that Scorpius would not see her. Not her lucky day because both Jeal and Dani said "Morgens" to him and he looked up to nod at them when he saw her and she gave him a small smile and he nodded and he and Maddie kept on walking. She could hear Maddie talking to him, quite loudly actually. Lily signed. What had happened in the train was something that had made things awkward for her and him. It had hurt her though, when he had pushed her off him and didn't even look at her to apologize or anything, he just left.
The door opened and a young hot guy with short light brown hair with brown eyes, a straight nose, high cheekbones and did she mention hot, was standing inside the classroom. He looked at her and smiled. How come she never noticed him? How come no one talked of him? But she was left with unanswered questions as he opened the door wide and let all the students who had gathered around the locked door in. All the girls took seat in the front. The late bell rang.
"Morgans Student. Ich bin Professor Jaeger dein Professor fur dieses Woche. Any questions"? He said. Lily raised her hand and from what she could hear by the rustling sound, a lot of hands went up. He pointed at her.
"Du, Miss..."?
"Potter, Lily Potter. And yeah can you repeat what you said only in English" and again he smiled and Lily heard a lot of signs. A small one coming from herself.
"Of course. Morning Student. I am Professor Jaeger you teacher for this week". And he pointed to someone in the back "Ya"
"O'Connor, Tim O'Connor. Where is the other Professor Jaeger"? And that when Lily realized that this Professor Jaeger was not the Professor Jaeger who was introduced every year at the Sorting Feast.
"Well asked Mr. O'Connor. My father, the Professor Jaeger who does teach German here at Hogwarts is sick is and from what he says will need a week to be able to come back and teach you all some German. He got sick yesterday night and so I got here a little late and was just fixing somethings and thus I forgot to unlock the door. Now if we could hold our questions for another day I would like to begin lesson" and with that he grabbed some papers behind him and passed them out. When he was finished handing them out, he spoke.
"Und jetzt wer mogen anfangen" and with that everyone one gave him a big "huh" and Lily knew it was going to be an interesting class.
"Ich mogen Deutsch" Lily, Dani and Jeal all said as they walked out of their German class.
"But what I liked the most was the teacher" Jeal said and the girls laughed. Going down to the dungeon to their potion class, the girls talked about their German class and their German teacher. As the girls got closer to the potion class, they got quite. They all hated potions. Well maybe not the class itself but the Professor. Pansy Parkinson. She was married but she wanted to be called Professor Parkinson and Lily thought it was just to remind everyone who she was. Not that everyone knew who she was but if you heard the story about the war and all, Parkinson was just not a brave one and instead of staying and fighting (either side really) she ran away.
Because she had not been involved in the fight she had been accepted as the Potion Professor and here she was making everyone life miserable. At least she wasn't the Head Teacher for the house of Slytherin or that be even worse.
"Ah, I wonder what kind of horrible things we're going to have to brew this year. Really I would rather learn how to brew a cure for a runny nose or sore thought, but no, we learn to brew shit that we probably won't ever need in our lives. A brew for killing your plants. No thank you" Dani was saying to the girls as the girls got in front of the door. Opening the door slowly, Lily saw that they were the first ones to arrive, damn, and she turned around and saw them. She gave them a small tight smile like she hated smiling but it was her job to do so. The girls walked in and sat in the back of the classroom (that what was good for being early at least) and waited for the rest of the class to arrive. Parkinson was going around getting supplies from shelves and putting them down in front of her huge cauldron when the door opened again.
"Professor Parkinson, how wonderful to see you again". And Lily, Jeal and Dani turned around to find Maddie going to the front of the classroom, putting her books in front of Dani and Lily and going up to Parkinson.
"You too Miss. Falk. I hope your summer went well". She said actually giving her a small smile but not as unnatural one she had given them earlier.
"Yes it was good. Daddy took me to Italy this year but what I really wanted to do was spend more of my summer with Scorpius" Maddie said shrugging. Parkinson patted her on the shoulder.
"Yes I bet, he is as handsome as his own father was, or is still" and Maddie smiled. The rest of the class soon came in as well (all got in a second before the bell rang) and sat down.
Lily was just shocked. Maddie liked Scorpius, Actually that wasn't the shocking part, the shocking part was that maybe he liked her as well. He had been with her this morning, he had sat with her at the feast even after Dani invited him to sit with them (or maybe it was because she was there). And even though Lily always thought Maddie liked him, she made it as clear as daylight that she wanted him. Maddie took her seat and all Lily saw was her blond wavy hair in front of her.
Jeal Alice Malfoy glared at Maddie's back. This fucking bitch was making it clear to her and Dani that she was going to get Scorpius all to herself. Was Scorpius as blind or maybe as stupid enough not to notice for what she was. She was a cunning, deceiving girl who lived to make peoples life miserable. She had to make her see that Scorpius was unavailable and that he didn't want her, he wanted someone else. But who? Looking around, Jeal saw Lily and smiled.
Lily was single, she was beautiful, smart and her best friend She was perfect. And all she had to to was make Scorpius see Lily and fall for her. Lily already liked her brother, she had known that for awhile but decided saying anything and it would be a great match. Her brother with her best friend. Perfect.
She looked at Maddie's back and decided to ask something to Lily and see both of their reactions.
"Hey Lily, I have a question" Lily nodded, "Why were you on the ground when Dani and I walked in on the train compartment"? Jeal asked in a loud whisper. Lily blushed. Perfect. Maddie tensed up. Perfect.
"Oh that, well I was grabbing my Ipod from my bag when the train suddenly stopped and I lost my balanced and fell forward onto the ground" she said and fast.
"Oh" was all Jeal said and sat back in her seat listening to what Parkinson was saying. Jeal wasn't going to ask what Lily was talking about, but the train never stopped around that time. Maybe she was making things up or maybe she just fell (she was clumsy sometimes, especially whens he was nervous and she would not admit that). And she got what she wanted. Obviously something had happened when Jeal and Dani left those two alone, and Maddie knew something. But what was it. Jeal smiled once again knowing that she would get to the bottom of the mystery soon enough. And when she did, well lets just say she hoped it was a happy ending.
Scorpius stretched lazily under the warm fall sun as he leaned against a tree. He smiled for the first time in the day. It was 8th class and Maddie was in her classroom not bothering him and he was outside having a great time. Okay not a great time but without it was great. Not having to walk with her, hear her or anything.
"Hey Malfoy" Scorpius looked up to find Rick Ulrick, "here you go Professor Pausini gave this to me earlier to give to all 7th years. Its just about what time you have DADA with her and the 5th years" Rick said and walked away looking around for other 7th years just lazing around just like himself. Scorpius looked at the piece of paper. Opening it up, he read;
Mr. Malfoy,
As we do every year, I, Professor Pausini would like you come join my 5th year class of Defence Against the Dark Arts once a week to help the students with their attacks, defensives and etc. You would have to come up to my class every Friday during this time which is your free period and participating is required so not to force you or anything. Thank you for taking you time and reading this and I am looking forward to you and all the other 7th years appearance as are the 5th years in my class. First meeting is this Friday but come in about twenty till class is over.
Sincerely,
Professor Pausini
Scorpius looked at the letter and signed. He had completely forgotten about the DADA class that 7th years helped out in. When he was in his 5th year, 7th years had come in and had helped them and every once in a while there had been duels. In the beginning, the Professor told the 5th years what was happening, put pieces of papers with names of the 7th years in a hat or whatever she had in her hands and the 5th years would pull out a name. Scorpius had gotten a Hufflepuff guy named Trever Jamer or something like that.
He put the letter in his pockets of his pants and decided to wander around aimlessly. Going inside the school, he went upstairs, downstairs left and right no really having a place to go to. He felt a pressure in his stomach and decided to go to the bathroom. Walking towards the closest one to him, he was on the fifth floor and went to the East Wing.
Relieving himself, Scorpius washed his hands and opened the door when he saw Lily though the crack of the opening door. She was waking away from the bathroom. Her black hair was in a straight ponytail, she was only wearing her blouse, with parts of the bottom of the blouse hanging outside her skirt. He smiled and looked even further down. She had really nice legs, they were toned and strong, and he knew that because he had seen the way she played football and she could kick that ball. Not to mention long. She was maybe about 5'7'' and still growing. His own sister were shorter then her. Dani was 5'5'' and Jeal 5'4''.
Lily was about to turn the corner when someone ran into her and she fell on her ass. A hand reached out and helped her up. A young guy who was not wearing the schools uniform was the one that helped her up. He had short light brown hair and that was all Scorpius could tell of the guy. But the smile's. Lily was smiling at that guy and so was he. Who the hell was that guy Scorpius wondered. He looked familiar and yet Scorpius didn't recognized him. Lily patted her skirt dusting off the dust from it. And she kept smiling at that guy.
After what seemed to be hours or so, she waved him goodbye and walked away, but not before she looked back at him once more with that beautiful smile of hers. Scorpius walked outside of the bathroom towards the guy. As he got nearer he could tell that the guy was good looking and he knew it. As he was about to walk by him, Scorpius could also tell that he was about 6 feet tall for Scorpius himself was 6'2'' and he was –.
"Hey, Malfoy right"?Scorpius stopped and looked at him.
"Yes, why are you asking"? Was Scorpius's reply.
"Nothing, just wondering if you remembered me"? And Scorpius raised an eyebrow asking if he should remembered him. The guy signed "Travis Jaeger, remember you in your 5th year and I came to you DADA class and I was your partner" and then that where it all came back to Scorpius.
"Oh yeah I remember now. Good times huh" he said remembering all the duels they had together. Even though Travis won most of the time, Scorpius wasn't with out wins either. "what are you doing here anyways"?
"I'm here in my fathers place. His sick and all and I came to teach some young people some Deutsch. Yep that what I'm doing here. So hows it going anyway, its your last year here right"?
"Yeah, I have a free class now and so I'm just wondering around"
"Nice, yeah I remember those times. Miss them too. I'm going to have to tell you, I especially miss the girls. Just now I was talking to a really hot girl, Lily, Lily Potter. Do you know her"? Scorpius made himself hold his fist down and he really didn't know why.
"Yeah, she my sisters friend. You know Jeal and Dani Malfoy, they should be in you German class."
"Yeah they are, I remember the Malfoy name anywhere. So Lily is your sisters friend, so you must know some stuff about her"?
"No, not really. I donut talk to her and my sisters don't talk to me about her, so..."
"Yeah I get it, well nice to see you again. We should meet up and catch up soon"
"Sure, we could do that"
"Awesome, well I will see you around my friend" and with that Travis walked away.
"Yeah," Scorpius said to himself. He looked down at his clenched hands and hoped that Travis hadn't notice. He didn't want people thinking, or knowing, he liked Lily Potter. But why he got angry he did not know. So yeah he liked her and all, but she was not his and from the things were, never was going to be. But how much he would like it so. Going outside again, and sitting under the same tree, Scorpius thought of Lily.
There really wasn't anything that stopped him from asking her out even on a date. Well his grandfather Lucias would hate the idea of it, and he already hated the idea of a Potter being friend with his granddaughters, he would even hate the idea of his grandson dating a Potter. But his grandfather was weak and soon would leave this world then there would be nothing holding him back.
But what about Maddie. He could protect Lily from Maddie, with the other girls he didn't care much about them that he would go out of his way to make them stay with him. But Lily was different. For one she would not let Maddie get to her and would stick up for herself and him. So she would not give a damn what Maddie said.
But what about her family. Would they be happy knowing that she was with a Malfoy. Friendship was a totally different thing from dating, so how would they take it. Scorpius had not gotten well enough with the eldest Potter. James maybe had not done a lot rotten shit to Scorpius, but when he could or wanted to he had made a joke out of Scorpius and just laughed. Albus on the other hand was on the civil terms with him but they were not friends or anything close to that.
But what if she didn't like him. That would be the biggest obstacle to overcome. If she didn't' like him, it would be hard for him to make her. If she rejected him, then he be the laughing stock in the entire school for asking a Potter out and being rejected. AH.
He wanted to scream sometimes at all the confusion within him and not give a damn. But he did. He gave a damn what his family would think, what her family would think and if even she liked him. Stretching again, Scorpius thought that he would talk to her more, find out what his real feeling for her were, what hers for him and what to do about it instead of stressing about when he was doing nothing about it. Time will tell.
OKAY so sorry about the German to all German people or people who know how to write German. I myself am learning German and thought it be interesting to add it into my story. Whoa, cant believe I wrote this whole chapter in one day (usually I take at least a week writing bits of pieces there and here and then putting them together), but then it was Veterans day so no school and I had to study for a German test, Chemistry test, math Test and a History test, a lot of test for one day don't you think. So hoped you liked this chapter cuz I really did and to me its getting better, Well I think. Till next time. ;) (:
