A/N: Hi everyone, another chapter for all of you. Actually made this a while back, but didn't post it and I forgot about it XD... Characters may be a bit out of character, but still I hope you can enjoy.

'But sir, the book says otherwise.' The small girl in front of the class told him for like the millionth time.

He tried to stay calm, but that was an almost impossible task. He sighed again and looked around the classroom, why had he thought that becoming a history teacher was a good idea... Oh yeah, because he had seen most of history. He couldn't help that all these books were wrong.

He glared once at the classroom, they were all rude teens. In the past he had had apprentices, but at least they were, most of the times, interested in what he had to say.

And on top of that the current teenagers had no respect for their elders... fine, he didn't look that old, but that didn't gave them the right to be so rude. On his first day someone even threw a pencil at his head. He laughed in his mind, he had taken revenge on the kid, he had thrown a bucket of water over the boy (with his magic). He knew he shouldn't use magic in a situation like that, but it was definitely amusing.

At the moment he was teaching a class about king Arthur... and that was definitely not as easy as he thought it would be... why did every book say he was an old man, with a beard.. he hated beards!

The small girl looked intense at him for an answer and he slowly shook his head, his eyes shifting to the boys in the back, he had given up on getting their attention, then he laid his eyes of the gossiping girls by the window. He really wanted to scream at them, but he kept his calm, his eyebrow twitching and his hands clenched into fists, but he would stay calm. He turned back to the girl as her brown eyes were still staring at him from behind her round glasses. '... I just mean that the book is wrong about Merlin being an old man and all, he was younger than Arthur.'

She shook her head. 'I have never read a story like that before, he was always an old man, I don't even know how you came on such idea... Is it just because the two of you share the same name?'

'I just know!'

She grinned at him. 'If you say so.' Definitely no respect for him. At that point he made a promise to himself, like he had done almost all days before, to never, ever, work as an teacher again!

He just turned back to the board, he knew he had to tell them about Gwen's betrayal, which wasn't really an betrayal, but an enchantment... no, they wouldn't believe that either.

But as he touched the board with his chalk he was stopped by a question of one girls by the window. 'Do you have a girlfriend?'

He took a deep breath before lowering the chalk, he knew he wouldn't be able to do any more of the lesson today so what did it matter and turned to the girls. 'Why that question?'

The girls looked at each other and they started to giggle as one of them turned bright red. The blond with her red cheeks immediately turned away and one of her friends answered for her. 'Because Birgit likes you!'

The large commotions even turned the boys attention, finally, back to their teacher and they stared from him to Birgit.

Merlin himself just stood frozen on his spot, he hadn't expected something like this. His mind shifted back to the memories he had of Freya, her long beautiful hair, those mesmerizing eyes and... no, it wasn't the moment for that. He turned back to the girl, his cheeks also slightly red. 'Uhh... I'm sorry there is already a girl in my life.' Which was true as he thought of Aithusa, maybe not the same way as these girls meant. 'and even when there wasn't someone than I wasn't allowed to date any of my students, you're far too young.'

'Oh, I understand...' The girl murmured and he immediately felt sorry for his words, but it just wasn't possible.

'Is she hot?' One of the boys in the back shouted.

The warlock blinked in surprise, he had never thought of Aithusa as 'hot', but she could probably be seen as a pretty woman. His attention turned back to the eagerly awaiting class. '... Yeah, you could say that.' At the same moment the commotion in the class reappeared again as the children immediately started to discuss their teacher's 'girlfriend'.

'Do you have a picture?'

'Uhh... no, not at this moment.'

'Not even on your mobile?' One of the girls asked.

He stared once stunned at the little device on the table, it could make pictures? '... No.'

'When do you meet her again?'

'She's picking me up after this hour, but I don't see-.' He began but he was interrupted by one of the boys.

'Then we will come and see her ourselves!' The others immediately agreed their friends plan and panic rose in Merlin's head.

'No! no, you need to go to your next class.' He tried.

'This is or last one of the day.' The boy replied back with a wide grin on his face. At the same moment the bell rang and the class jumped up and quickly grabbed their stuff, before waiting at the door for their teacher.

The raven narrowed his eyes as he saw them waiting at the door and slowly gathered his stuff. How did it came to this? He let out a deep sigh, one of the many of that day. 'Just go home, all of you?' As one the teens shook their heads.

He placed his arms in his side and looked at the them with a stern expression. 'I won't go to her, until all of you're gone.'

They pouted at him, but didn't move so he sank back in his chair, silently waiting till they gave up.

Not that he got the time to follow his plan as five minutes later the teens started murmuring again as a person tried to come into the classroom. Merlin bit his lip as he saw how she walked towards him and threw her arms around him. 'How long were you planning on letting me wait?'

Her voice was gentle and warm and her hair was bound playfully together. He stared down, seeing how she wore one of her more 'sexy' clothes, a short black skirt with a blue top and high heels.

From her he stared to his class, the boys all staring with open mouths to the beautiful woman in front of them, while the girls were all eyeing her with jealous expressions. '... A- Are you really his girlfriend?'

She blinked once at them, before a big evil grin spread over her face. 'Of course I am!' She replied while she pushed him against her body.

The teens looked startled at each other and Merlin took that as the time to get out. 'Fine, now you all have seen her.' He grabbed the dragon's hand and dragged her with him outside.

Soon they were in the car, far away from the school and Merlin finally felt he could relax. His eyes shifted again towards the dragon. 'Why did you came inside?'

She let out a deep unwomanly laugh. 'I felt your distress, so I came to help.' She glanced at her cloths. 'What luck that I decided to wear this.' She grinned. 'I loved playing your girlfriend, I could practice for my future lover.' He started disgusted at her, he just couldn't imagine her having a boyfriend... He probably wouldn't even allow his 'little sister' to have a boyfriend. Men of this time were just jerks.

He wasn't sure if he wanted to thank her or shout to her, so he just looked out of the window towards the passing houses. As he looked his mind went back to the small girl's words. Back then he was still young and now, so many years later he still looked young, even when his soul wasn't... In all those years so many things had changed, the lands, the houses and most importantly the people, for both better and worse. Not that he could change them, he just had to adept and live, live for his king. Which he hoped would soon return to his side.
