"Did you hear that they changed the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this year?" Liza asked me as we hurried towards the great hall. "I heard, but I think you're going through this unnecessarily. 

"They probably brought back a teacher at the end of his life who will have a heart attack before he even writes down the topic." "very funny" the girl stabbed me in the arm. "well not this time, he is young, 26 if I heard correctly"

 "that's new" you laughed. "therefore he will abuse us, you know, all this superiority of young people over those only a decade younger."

 "It's not a threat to you, the best student of the year goes head to head with the chosen one a year older, you have no way to annoy him" I just rolled my eyes. "you're a great student too, don't exaggerate" "so we're both safe" she smiled reassuringly and pushed the door open. we headed towards our seats. 

"I can't believe it's been the sixth year already," Louis said, kissing me on the cheek to greet me. "We're getting old, aren't we?" I replied, pouring myself some juice. Liza and I greeted the rest of our friends and started talking.

everything was interrupted by the sound of cutlery colliding with another dish.
"Everyone please pay attention!" Dumbledore said in a loud voice. 

The official assignment ceremony took place as every year. the principal spoke to the first years and then began
present this year's teaching staff. 

"and finally, I would like to introduce you to the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Tom Riddle" the entire room fell silent. everyone looked towards the teachers' table. 

a man stood up from one of the seats. tall, extremely handsome brunette. his facial features looked almost like they were carved in stone, his eyes were dark green - a coldness emanated from them. 

he wore a black tailored suit with a robe with the Slytherin logo on it. he nodded politely and sat down. he didn't smile once. Liza and I exchanged significant glances.

 "Oh fuck" the girl said and we both laughed. "You know, maybe these lessons won't be so bad after all," I said, biting a nut. "won't it be bad!? do you see him??

 he looks like a fucking greek god!" "well, you know, having an affair with a teacher doesn't sound so abstract now" she gave me a devilish smile and I nudged her with my elbow. "You're disgusting," I laughed.

 "oh you just say that and I already know what you're thinking" "compared to you, I don't enjoy sleeping with my teacher" I said jokingly and we both went back to our breakfast.

I constantly felt eyes on me. as if he was passing through me. whenever I looked in that direction, he was looking at some point at the back of the room. 

"weird" I thought and focused on my plate. I didn't want to get distracted before the first day of classes.
