The Werewolf and The Monster

Chapter 2 - DADA

She sighed and stretched in her bed, throwing her robes on and moving down to the great hall, throwing McGonagall a small smile before sitting at the Gryffindor table, She hated about lying to McGonagall about what she truly was, She would only despise her and expel her for being the monster she is. The killer she is.

McGonagall gave a warm smile back before returning to her conversation to Professor Snape. Snape and her never really got along, but they never truly hated each other either. They both just bickered without any real malice behind what they say. But they both still know their limits with one another. 

She dug into her soupy porridge, But in all honestly she was craving something else, something she never would usually eat, and it was the blasted blood lollipops made for vampires, she never found them appealing in the slightest but she frequently got the craving for the metallic taste in her mouth. Though she never acted on such a strange craving.

She looked down at her timetable and noticed she had DADA with her new professor first class, Which gave her a smile as she got up and walked out to go to her first lesson, which she was rather excited for.

She made her way down and to the DADA room entering with the rest of the class as they filed in slowly, sitting at the front corner so she can keep a watchful eye. Her gaze kept trained on the unkempt professor at front, something about him intrigued her, she could sense something about him was different but she couldn't place her finger on it. Which only made her obsess over him more and give her more of a desire to protect him. 

"Welcome to class" Merlin even his voice is frail yet entrancing, Making her desire turn into a burning passion, At that very moment her pupils dilated into slits, making herself do a Reaping-Promise with herself. If any avoidable harm came to this man she didn't even know, She would never forgive herself and would avenge him even if its the last thing she'll ever do. Her pupils dilated back to normal and she looked around slightly to make sure no-one noticed, relieved and smiled to herself at the sight of no-body staring at her. 

Class went on as expected, note taking and her keeping a very close eye on the man. Everything about him fascinated her, from the way he carried himself in class through pure confidence, to the smaller minutest details, from the way he played with the hem of his cardigan, to the way he ran his fingers through his hair and shuffled his feet.

Class ended sooner then she would have liked, so she reluctantly got up and packed up her equipment into her bag.

"Miss Pritchard, Please stay behind" She heard him say, her tensing up and awkwardly shuffling to the desk he was sitting at. Truth be told, she didn't have a first name, everyone just knew her as Pritchard.

"Yes Professor?" She asked softly, Studying his face up close now that she has the chance.

"Forgive if it may seem rude, but your eye" She thought he was going on about her blind eye, "It's red. I'm sorry I am just really intrigued, Over my lifetime I have travelled most of the world and I have never met anyone with natural red eyes. Wizard or not" 

She gulped and looked at the floor slightly, "It's just a rare genetic that runs in my family" She lied through her teeth, A strange pain shocked through her as she lied to him, As if her body rejected the fact she lied to him particularly. It's not like she hasn't used that lie before though. She rather much has. He nodded and reached out for her arm, to which she backed off instinctively.

"I'm sorry, I don't like contact unless its absolutely necessary" The same pain shot through her once more as she lied once again, While she hated contact yes, She wanted nothing more then for him to hold onto her tightly and pet her. She wanted nothing more then to be in his arms for him to claim her as his own, for him to become her master instead. No, She didn't want it. She needed it.

"Oh, My apologies Miss Pritchard, I should've asked before reaching out anyways" He apologized softly. She needed him to hold her, but her body is ice cold and that'll cause him to panic, you can't expect the dead to hold heat in did you?

"I should be heading to my next class" I reluctantly said softly. He nodded and dismissed me with a smile.
