Chapter Thirteen: Herbology Tutors and Stolen Kisses

Anastasia's POV

I sat in a chair in front of Lexy who was looking over a note from Professor Longbottom suggesting that I find a tutor for Herbology class.

"How are you failing Herbology, you love Herbology, you have a green thumb? How are you failing?" She asked astounded she was barely passing due to her ability to write papers and work hard, "You have to try to fail a class like this!" She exclaimed, I winked at her, she threw a quill at me, "You are trying to fail aren't you?" She accused, Tessa sat down on the love seat next to me,

"What is the brilliant plan Ana?" She asked knowing me better than anyone,

"Well, guess who I got to tutor me." Lexy rolled her eyes,

"You are failing this class on purpose aren't you?" I smiled nodding, both her and Tessa groaned,

"There is a month and a half before O.W.L.S. you're screwing yourself over Ana." Tessa lectured,

"Not really, I'm just trying to get some alone time with Ian." I sighed giggling looking over at the gorgeous seventh year. Tessa rolled her eyes,

"Let's ask Keisha what she thinks." She stated waving our other best friend over to us. Keisha plopped down onto Lexy's lap looking at us. "Our dear Anastasia has decided to fail Herbology in order to get alone time with Ian Longbottom." Keisha looked over it him nibbling the skin next to her thumbnail.

"Well let's see; stats on Ian Longbottom, seventh year, not a player but not a prude; that's good middle ground, hasn't had a girlfriend in a year, has political aims, mom's a yank dad's a Britt, has a double citizen ship." She looked me strait in the eye, "I say go for it. But get your grades up, he likes birds smart." I giggled, she rolled her eyes.

"You're one to talk about prudish." Lexy teased poking Keisha in the side,

"Me, Moi?" She questioned widening her eyes making her look innocent. Tessa laughed as Lexy rolled her eyes, "Anyways, didn't you think of the fact that Lexy could have set this up? She is kind of sort of dating the nerdy younger brother Noah Longbottom." Lexy poked Keisha hard in the side,

"You bint, only for the past month and he's sweet." She pouted Keisha shrugged her shoulders admitting defeat,

"It's still the principle of the matter that Ana didn't have to throw away her herbology grade to get time with Ian." I opened my mouth,

"Not all of us are as open as you are, and not all of us are good at talking to people." I defended myself, Tessa rolled her eyes,

"Have you even asked him to tutor you yet?" Tessa asked causing me to blush she burst out laughing, "You have to ask him." Keisha winked at her,

"Oie, Ian, can we steal you away for a few minutes?" She yelled across the common room he nodded his head ending his conversation with the group of friends he was talking to and walked over to us smiling sweetly. I could feel the heat rise to my cheeks and I praised Merlin for my dark skin that hid the blush on my cheeks.

"What's up Keisha?" He asked, of course they had partied together, part of me wondered if they had hooked up once or twice. Keisha hooked one of her skinny arms around my neck,

"Well as it turns out my buddy Ana here is failing Herbology and needs a tutor. Want the job?" She asked confidently he looked at me nodding adjusting the leather strap of his bag on his shoulder,

"Sure, how does 6:30 in the library sound?" He asked looking at me with his dark brown eyes smiling brightly.

"Sounds great." I replied trying to have the same confidence as Keisha. He smiled brightly,

"Great see you then." He stated smiling at me; I just sat there nodding my head as he walked away Lexy rolled her eyes,

"You're hopeless. Have we taught you nothing?" She questioned, I looked down,

"I haven't hooked up with him, just so you know." Keisha stated, "I always knew you liked him, so I wouldn't have gone for him even if either of us had been interested." Keisha stated nicely before getting all excited, "We have to make her sexy for her tutoring session." She exclaimed jumping up grabbing my hand dragging me up to my dorm room Lexy and Tessa following behind.

A few hours later I was sitting on my bed in a pair of Keisha's ripped up low rise jeans a shrunken Motley Crew t-shirt that used to be Dom's my hair striated and styled and some make up on. Tessa was currently off searching through her shoe collection for the perfect pair of shoes.

"I look like a whore." I whined Keisha threw a makeup brush at me, Lexy giggled,

"A girl has to show a little bit of skin." She stated putting some cherry flavored chap stick on my lips.

"And a hell of a lot of curves." Keisha added doing a sexy hip shake, Tessa walked in holding a pair of leather flip flops,

"Trust me, men, they like the bodies." She teased; I stuck my bottom lip out,

"You had no body at thirteen and you still got Cal, Quiditch player extraordinaire." Tessa winked at me,

"I have a body now, and I more than make up for it." I blushed,

"Sean will kill him." Tessa rolled her eyes,

"I still have my v-card." I blushed again,

"Am I the only one who still hasn't been kissed?" asked Keisha nodded,

"No worries, I'm the only one who's had my v-card swiped." Tessa rolled her eyes,

"And if I remember correctly you got your v-card swiped the night I got my first kiss." Keisha shrugged,

"So what? Anyways, just have fun tonight no pressure." She reassured me "All else failed, he'll be intrigued because you're a cute naïve virgin." Lexy laughed shoving Keisha,

"Ian's not that kind of guy and we all know it." I blushed even harder, "You need to get going." She said handing me my leather pin covered book bag. I walked down to the library in what felt like the tiniest outfit in the world, and guys kept staring at me. I kept my head down as I walked into the library heading to the table I saw Ian lounging at flipping through a book.

"Nice shirt." He complimented looking up at me smiling, I pulled in down uncomfortably,

"Uh, yeah it used to be my brother Dom's." Ian smile didn't waver,

"Dom was a cool guy, him and James still together?" I nodded yes, "That's good; they're a great couple." I nodded my head in agreement again, sitting down pulling out my herbology book."I talked to my dad about you; he doesn't believe you honestly need a tutor." I stiffened had I been caught, "No guys worth dumbing yourself dumb for. Trust me." I blushed a little; Keisha would nudge me to flirt with him at this point.

"It's not impressing the guy, it's talking to him that's the problem." I muttered looking down at my unopened textbook feeling foolish having this conversation with my crush. He chuckled,

"Well you're very pretty, trust me, most guys in my class would pay money to take you on a date." I smiled maybe this wouldn't be too bad.

"Well this guy is a seventh year." I admitted leaning in foreword it was a trick I saw Keisha use plenty of times when luring in the guys she had called prey before Henry. Ian leaned in a little closer,

"Oh yeah?" He asked we were very close now, "You should tell me about him, maybe I know him." I smiled softly,

"Well he's very cute, curly brown hair, brown eyes. Little pale, he's head boy." I teased hoping he would be into me also. I bit my bottom lip; he smiled,

"Oh is that right? I do know him in fact." He teased I bit my bottom lip hoping I'm not making a total fool out of myself,

"Do you think he'd be interested in me?" I questioned blushing a little, he smiled sweetly,

"He's definitely interested in you." He admitted I smiled sweetly. "He's so interested in you in fact he's thinking about disappearing into the stacks with you." I blushed bright red nodding my head putting my book in my bag.

"Okay." He smiled closing his book putting in his bag then took my hand leading me towards the back of the library to where a stained glass window was and there was also a leather couch. Ian looked at me and my heart started pounding was he looking to hook up, he leaned in and kissed my cheek.

"So is it okay and come out and say I've had a crush on you for the past couple months now?" he whispered against my cheek, I nodded,

"Yeah, I've had a crush on you too." I whispered back, he wrapped his arms around my muscular but thin waist,

"Be my girlfriend?" he asked nuzzling my neck,

"Yeah, okay." I whispered a smile gracing my pink lips, he smiled down at me. He doesn't tower over me the way my brothers do, granted I'm a tall girl.

"Can I kiss you?" he asked one of his hands resting holding the back of my neck, I nodded my breathing was heavy. I am finally going to get my first kiss; Ian leaned forward pressing his lips against mine. Kissing him felt nice like having two soft pillows resting and moving softly against my own lips. I could feel him smiling against my lips.

"You taste like cherries." He muttered pressing his lips back against mine, I smiled wrapping my arms around his neck my foot lifting off the ground, I had just gotten my very own foot popping kiss.
