The Assistant (Lady Lesso x Professor Dovey x Y/N)

Chapter 3

Y/N'S POV:

It was only after I had left the dining hall, that I realized I had no idea where any of that list would be. I couldn't go back in there and ask Lady Lesso though, she'd laugh at me. I started walking across the bridge to the School of Evil and was met with one of the wolves.

"Any chance you can take me to Lady Lesso's classroom?"

"I'm not a tour guide" It bellowed.

"Please, I'm Lady Lesso's Assistant and she wants me there, but I forgot to ask where her classroom was"

"Fine. I'll show you but if you tell Lady Lesso about this, I will bite your head off" I stepped back from him.

"Bit violent but I won't trust me"

"I don't" He replied starting to walk further into the school and up more stairs. Ugh.

"Probably for the best" I mumbled to myself.

Five Minutes Later...

Of course, her classroom was at the top of a tower! That woman really knows how to destroy my legs. I thanked the wolf and went in. The classroom was split in two, the desks and board being in one half and a long table and cupboards upon cupboards of who knows what, probably ingredients in the other half.

I let my hand fall over the desks, there was nothing that impressive about them, just the normal graffiti and stab marks. I saw the larger desk at the front and sat down in her chair, crossing my legs. She would be able to see anything and everything anyone was doing from this position. Such a control freak. I looked more closely at her desk; it had books spread across it. Like 'death traps 101', and 'Curses and Hexes', one that caught my eye was a dark leather-bound book that read 'Potions for All and any occasions'. I opened the book and noticed a bookmark holding a page. I turned to the page and the title read 'Love potion'.

"Why would she want to make a love potion?" I mumbled to myself.

"My reasons are none of your business," Lady Lesso's voice said as she appeared in front of me, making me jump so hard that I fell off the chair and landed on the floor. She laughed at me falling, and my face turned redder out of embarrassment. This was not what I intended to do. "Come on. Get up before you make an even bigger fool out of yourself" She laughed placing her hand towards me. I grabbed it and got up, not saying anything.

"Am I in trouble?" My voice wavered, approaching the topic cautiously.

"Hahaha! No, you are not in trouble little princess. Not yet" My cheeks blushed at the name "If anything, you should be rewarded for your behaviour. I mean snooping in someone else's stuff is a very Never thing to do."

I looked at her confused. She wants to reward me. What?

"I can't have your stomach distracting my class so eat this," she said throwing a small pot of buttered toast towards me. I caught it and on queue, my stomach growled.

"Thank you," I said tucking into the toast, like I hadn't eaten in days.

She sat down in her chair, crossing one of her legs over the other, watching me eat. She closed the potions book and took the bookmark out. I unconsciously moved closer and sat on the edge of her desk. She didn't say anything as she looked at me. Her eyes held a thousand questions and I really wanted to know what she was thinking but nothing about her face gave it away.

"You can sit at the back, in the corner. That way you won't distract anyone" She declared. I did as I was told and moved off her desk and sat in the chair. I felt so far away from her and for some unknown reason, it disheartened me. Not long after the class arrived.
