a particular slytherin. (a harry potter fanfic)

chapter 11 [announcement (2)]

"good morning class!" our muggle studies professor opened the door and we all looked at her. muggle studies isnt really my favorite but i really liked the part that we can use phones here. only eleven students are here and thats the mArAuders, ted tonks, lily, dorcas, marlene, molly, arthur, frank and alice.

"today we're gonna try out a muggle subject called mathematics." she said as she pulled out a lot of textbooks, ive read about this when i was a child. although i wasnt particularly muggleborn we lived in the muggle world so i was obligated to go to school there. i saw the purebloods/halfbloods that didnt know about mathematics looked confused, most especially sirius. i knew they know how to subtract or add, but i guess they dont know the name for it.

"alright, are any of you familiar with algebra?"

"oh how i hate math." i told regulus as i was doing my math homework in the common room. he just scoffed and told me "then you shouldn't take muggle studies." i rolled my eyes, there were barely any slytherins in the classroom earlier, although i do understand. a lot of slytherins are prejudiced purebloods.

"but its fun." i retorted while writing down an answer. he sat down next to me, looking at what i was writing. he glared at the problem and just tried to comprehend it.

"ever figure out what that key is for?" he asked as he sipped his tea. how did he get tea its literally six pm whats happening? 

"no, not really." "then go look." he said and i just stared at him in disbelief, im literally doing an assignment i

"i just can't stand your muggle book right up in my face." he glared at the book, there it is. 

"how about yOu look for it while i do my assignment?" i said as i pulled out a key and he just stared at me like he was offended.

"nevermind.." he pouted and just drank his tea while reading. i get old man vibes from him in that glasses, i dont know why. 

"l/n." our head boy said as he was tapping his feet in impatience, i looked up at him and he said "theres going to be an announcement at dinner, be there." he suddenly walked away and i looked back down at my book and im finally done. i put the book in my bag and went up the stairs to set aside my bag. there was no one there so i decided to just throw the bag in my bed and go down. i lied down to the couch next to the fireplace and i just counted to one hundred. i was so bored. i literally put my feet up in the air just to defy gravity.

suddenly i felt a presence next to me so i kindof stopped but when they played with my hair i recognized it to be regulus.

"you're wearing a skirt." he said while reading his book. i put my feet down and groaned. i shouldve taken a book but too late now.

"sadly." i said and he chuckled. "we should go to dinner now." he followed while looking at the clock and i nodded. we stood up and walked to dinner and our hands brushed together once and now we're three feet apart. when we got to the great hall we already saw a lot of people there and we sat down at the slytherin table, of course. whats with eating and announcements?

"i have something to say to you all. the Yule ball is approaching,  a traditional part of the Triwizard tournament and an opportunity for us to socialize with our foreign guests. now, the ball will be open only to fourth years and above, although you may invite a younger student if you wish." mcgonagall announced and a lot of people gasped, lol. "every head of their house is gonna teach the students how to dance." she added and i laughed, slUghorn? omg lol. am i even going?

"all champions must attend." dumbledore chimed in and that answered my question. who am i even going to go with? how am i going to get dresses?

"that'll be all. enjoy your dinner."

<3: lol sorry for a short update. but i already have smth planned for the next chapters and sadaskd its gonna be long so.
