Harry doesn't say anything and walks up to Professor Slughorn, standing by his side. Harry stands there quietly watching Slughorn attempt to cut off the leaf of the moving plant. He turns his head and notices Harry, causing him to jump.
Slughorn: Merlin me! Harry?
Harry: Sorry I startled you, sir. I should have announced myself. Clear my throat or cough or something.
Slughorn: Yes well...
He turns back to the plant and continues to try and snip off the plant.
You: What are you doing, Professor?
Slughorn jumps again and turns towards where you are standing. You smile at him and he clears his throat.
Slughorn: Ah, Anastasia. How lovely to...see...you.
Harry: I suppose you didn't tell Professor Sprout about what you are doing.
Slughorn: Yes well...what did you say boy?
Harry: Well that must be why you are sneaking around and jumping at the sound or sight of someone.
You: Sir, isn't that plant very valuable?
Slughorn successfully snips off a leaf, letting it fall into the little box he has been holding.
Slughorn: 10 galleons a leaf if sold to the right man. I mean, my need for these are truly only academic of course.
You smile as he turns to face you.
You: Oh, of course. I never thought you were a thief, sir.
He doesn't say anything as he stuffs the box in his big coat pocket, smiling as he turns between you and Harry.
Harry: Personally, these plants always freak me out. Mhmm.
Harry turns and begins walking away to the door.
"Is this what it's like when he is drunk?" you ask yourself.
Slughorn: Uhm, how exactly did you both get out of the castle without being noticed?
You're about to come up with a lie when Harry turns and smiles.
Harry: Oh, through the front door, sir. How else?
You smack your head with your palm as Slughorn's jaw drops.
Harry: You see now I'm off to Hagrid's. He's a very dear friend of mine and I feel he could use the company right now. So if you do not mind, I will be leaving you now.
Slughorn stares at him in shock as Harry turns to walk out the door.
Slughorn: Harry!
Harry turns gracefully, almost falling over.
Harry: Sir!?
Slughorn: It's nearly nightfall. You can't be out on the castle grounds by yourself.
Harry: I won't be alone. My sister will be with me.
Slughorn turns to you and raises a brow.
You: I am? Uh, I mean, yeah, I am.
You walk over to Harry and stand next to him, seeing what Slughorn will do.
Slughorn: Well you both surely know I can't have you two roaming the grounds without a teacher.
Harry: Then by all means sir, you can come along.
He doesn't say anything and Harry begins walking out the door. You stand there and wait for Professor Slughorn, your hand out, motioning for him to lead the way.
Slughorn: Yes, well, alright.
He quickly hurries out the door to catch up to Harry, you're slowly following behind. You all climb up the hills away from Hagrid's hut.
You: Harry, this isn't the way to Hagrid's hut!
Harry doesn't say anything and keeps walking weirdly, like he shit himself or something. You roll your eyes and cross your arms from the cold breeze that passes by. Slughorn stumbles a little and sighs.
