Tuesday.
I was sitting in class.
History of magical on Professor Snape, who hadn't shown up yet and it was already 5 minutes past 8. But I should be fine with that. I sat on the uncomfortable school desk in the backest corner of the room, bent one leg and drew a girl sitting two seats in front of me in the middle row and dreamily looking into the air.
She had wild white-blond hair and her skin was as white as snow. The perfect contrast was her clear royal blue eyes, which I was really jealous...my thoughts were actually somewhere else.

Because of my Abilities, I didn't really need that subject, but...I used it to escape Cedric for a minute. And maybe because this one of the important subjects and so everyone keep more attention to the lesson than staring at me like I was...well, I don't know.
Back to Cedric Diggory. i liked him. He hasn't left my side since the first night and he has told me all the courses and lessons he visited. History of magical wasn't part of his scedual because he had Quidditchtraining every Tuesdaymorning.
He even wanted to take me to the common room, but I found the excuse that I had to look for something in the library and was able to sneak into my dorm. Like I said, I liked him. There was something vivacious and kind about him and I liked the sparkle in his gray alert eyes. He was also interested in me - well, for what reason that would not show...
But I felt constrained when I was with him...like I couldn't breathe.-

My flow of thoughts was stopped by a deep girl's voice that suddenly appeared next to me.
"Wow that's not so bad..."
I startled and hissed. My ears laid back and my front teeth showed.
The girl grinned in amazement and sat down in the vacant seat next to me. She is a Hufflepuff.
"Pretty scary aint I?"
I pulled myself together and regained control of my face.
"Reflexes...I can't help it. Sorry if I startled you..."
I gazed arround. Everyone was looking at me. Some of the girls were already whispering some bullshit about me. I singhed and wanted to say somthing, as the girl hit the table annoyed.

"What is there to whisper about, huh? And you Ravenclaws over there...yes, I mean you, honey... why don't find yourself a book to poke your bloddy noses into alright? Great, you're the best."

Everyone turned around quickly and said nothing. I laughed in amusement and looked back at her.
"Thanks..."
She waved it off and laughed.
"You good. And believe me I've seen worse monsters than you."
I understandably twitched my eyebrows.
hmm i like her
"Filou right?"
"Yup...and you are...Hannah...right?"
She nicked slowly and formed her lips to a upsidedown smile.

Her medium long hair was blond and wavy. Her skin had a soft tone and when she talked, cute little dimples were shown. But her eyes were amazing. They might be thin but there got so much light in that bright hazelbrown.
Hannah was a very confident girl and always sayed out loud the things she thought...i could see that in the forst moment i've met her. In cause of her impressive height and her dominant charackter she earned a certain respect from others. I got a little jealous of that.
Yes i might have got that respect too but it was not the same.
People were more intimidated and that was why i've got this special presence...
I confused.

I was startled out of my thoughts when the door was violently ripped open and immediately thundered shut again. snape.
His black robes flapped willdly as he strode forward to the teacher's desk in quick strides.
When he got to the front, he stopped and suddenly turned around.
His dark eyes swept the room inquiringly. Examined each one closely.
"I see many familiar faces here and yet...I miss some of-"

The door banged open again and we all turned around, startled.
Hannah and i shared a look. We thought the same:
Whoever that would be now...he must have balls in his pants to burst into class 20 minutes late with an already irritated Severus Snape... without knocking first!

But no...the question was more: Who were they?
A group of guys entered the hall and stood in a line.
All were very tall and well built. All Slytherins. Everyone had a provocative look on their face and didn't seem to sit down. My gaze averted from them and I looked at the other students. Some grinned knowingly others looked away nervously. Most of the girls put their heads together and whispered or giggled. I rolled my eyes and turned forward. What show was this about to be?
Like dominating his power or something? bullshit...
Snape's face said what I was thinking and I stifled a smile.
"It seems the gentlemen were able to plan for it after all..."
Spiteful giggles came from the boys.
"Mr Riddle..."
Everyone went quiet. Wait...Riddle...what?
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a person step out from behind the boys and stand straight in front of them
"Yes Professor?"
His harsh, raspy voice made me shiver and I turned my head to get a better look at him.
The light that came through the large windows, glared me so I couldn't see his face.
he was big. Had dark short hair that was brown if I am not mistaken and fell in tangled curls.

"You can go. Leave my classroom immediately! You are suspended from class...but I guess you might already recognized that from last year."
I had to swallow. Apparently he didn't like him that much.
My gaze returned to the boy... and I hesitated.

His facial features had changed. Was he seriously grinning??

Slowly, he nodded understandingly.
"As you wish...Professor Snape."
He emphasized the name on purpose. What is this? He's already in deep shit and just keeps getting into it even deeper...

His face turned serious again and he turned to go. He walked past my table.
I looked up and we looked at each other.
Then I recognized them. Those eyes...
I have never seen such. They were like dead. There was nothing I could see. no emotions Nothing. black and empty.

I quickly looked away. He passed and then disappeared in the door. I exhaled violently. When did I hold my breath?

The other six boys who were left gave a snort of laughter. They rejoiced that they suffered no punishment.
But the next moment Snape was standing in front of them and they stopped laughing.
"If you don't sit down, make 100 of the 50 points that each of you gets deducted. You can also spend your afternoon copying down the house rules, which I want to find in my locker tomorrow at 9 p.m.! Is that clear?"
They silently did what he said and sat down, some just said a small, loud 'Yes Professor' or nodded.
Snape jerked around dramatically and strode forward again.
"Open your books. Page 334."
I looked ahead and had to press my lips together to keep from laughing. That was something of sitting.
I risked a quick look at Hannah. That was a mistake. She had put her hand in front of her mouth and was already half blue so much she suppressed her laughter.
We looked at each other and the next moment I let out a giggle.
Snape heard it and his head snapped up instantly.
"Miss Abott...the same for you. Copy the house rules until tomorrow 9 p.m.!"
Hannah went quiet immediately and looked at the Professor with a blank expression.
"Yes...Professor."
I dont know what hit me but seeing hannahs dissapointed face made me handel.
"It was me Professor I beg your pardon."
All the heads turned to me.
Fuck, girl that might have been a dump idea...
"Stand up i cant see you back there."
Yes that was defenetly a dump idea.
Slowly i rised from my seet and stood seeable.
Snapes expression got blank as he saw me. Ass he didnt said anything i took over the word.
"Hannah is not to blame Sir it was my fault."
"I see...Miss...-"
"Black. Filou Black."
"Miss Black. Thank you for your honesty. 5 points for hufflepuff. However, the penalty remains unchanged and will now be transferred to you."
"Of course Professor."
"You may sit down. So page 334 in the book we begin."
