After my first day of classes, I made my way to the great hall. It felt kind of nice helping the kids with their work in class but I wished I was teaching. I didn't understand why I had to share with Slughorn especially when I just sit back and watch the kids make potions. Harry Potter had won the liquid luck. He made a perfect Draught of Living Death. I wondered if it was the book he found. The Half-Blood Prince. I got into the great hall and noticed Severus sitting down. I wanted to get to know him more. He was mysterious and intriguing. I have to admit I did have a sort of schoolgirl crush on him during my last year of Hogwarts. I made my way to the head table and sat down by Severus. "Evening." I smiled as I fixed my skirt from riding up. He cleared his throat, "evening."
"How were your classes?" I asked after Dumbledore did his little speech about staying away from the Forbidden Forest and the black lake.
"It was different," he said.
"Like in a good way?" I asked.
He nodded, "I've wanted this position for many years."
"I remember you talking about it when I was in school," I said.
"When did I talk to you about that?" He questioned.
"The many times I got detention with you?"
He nodded, "you were my best potions student but you sure were a pain in my arse. Such trouble maker especially your last year. Not sure what happened there but it seemed you liked getting detention."
"Yeah," I cleared my throat, "just a hard last year at Hogwarts is all," it wasn't a lie but it wasn't the truth.
"I can understand that," he said as he cut his steak in half.
I couldn't stop looking at him, he is so mysterious. I don't think he realizes sometimes how open he is. I love the way his lips parted just a little while he was thinking. When his onyx eyes felt like they were burning into my skin.
"Earth to Phoenix," Severus snapped his fingers in front of my face.
"Hmm?" I asked.
"You know if we were muggles I would've told you to grab your camera," he said.
"What do you mean by that?"
"If you had a camera you could take a picture of me and you could stare at it all day," Severus said with a straight face, no emotion whatsoever.
"I wasn't," I started to say.
"You were," he said, "I was asking you if you could pass the green beans."
I nodded and handed him the green beans.
"Ah, just the two I was looking for," Albus started to come closer to Severus and me, "since Phoenix here has every other Friday available I am assigning her to you, Severus, she will be your assistant to anything you need."
