Orange and pink hues clashing,blending into the blue sky as the sun rose,oh what a beautiful sight it was indeed,but having seen the same thing hundreds of times Devra paid no mind to it,only gazing at the sunrise for a brief moment. She much more preffered sunset. Scanning the contents of the extremely long piece of parchment,she sighed. The scroll consisted of different sorts of tasks,a family tradition. From the age of five,a set of tasks are given to a child to help control their magic. Every task was ticked off, except one. She struggled to complete the task for years,the ravenette simply didn't have the patience she needed to perform said task,but over the years she became more and more curious on what her animagus would be.
Sitting in the library as usual of course,she sat in the far corner,paging through a book that was strictly about animagus's. A mp3 player sat on her lap,even if she was a pureblood,didn't mean she didn't take interest in muggle contraptions. Humming lightly as the sweet melody of 'you shook me all night long' by AC/DC, played. She sat peacefully for what felt like seconds but were actually minutes. Just as the song came to an end,Tom strutted up to the girl. Bending down to his knees,he sat Infront of her with a bewildered look spread across his face,never in his life would he think he'd see a pureblood using a muggle contraption. Even from a foot away could he hear the roaring sound of 'T.n.T by AC/DC'. Tapping her lightly on the shoulder as to get her attention,Devra let out a tiny squeak in surprise,pulling the headphones off her ears to rest around her neck,she rose her eyebrow at him. "Tom?" the periwinkle eyed girl blinked,confused. The boy only looked at the Mp3 player questionably. "...oh,I suppose you've never seen a pureblood take interest in Muggle music?" She said, amusement lacing her voice. "It is quite the rare sight" he chuckled,it wasn't a fake one like he gave to professors or others when they made a horribly bad joke,it was a genuine laugh that he only reserved for her. Even if she'd deny it,her heart fluttered as she heard his laughter,she was absolutely mesmerized by him but of course,she kept her expression stoic. "Even if they are- a bit strange,they do have a nack for the entertainment department" muttering as she returned to her book,Tom smiled when she didn't return the headphones to her ears,a subtle gesture that assured him she was listening. "Tom?" he hummed in acknowledgement. "Are you really serious about actually wanting to- you know -like your not joki-" he cut her off,his brows furrowing,"of course I'm bloody serious Devra,for Merlin's sake,I've been courting you since third year" his blunt response caught her off guard, honestly she was too oblivious for her own good.
After he little encounter with the blue eyed boy and her little break- which resulted in reading- she returned to her classes. Devra liked to say she did exceptionally well in all her classes and that all her teaches were exaggerating but even a blind person could see how intelligent she was. 'i guess it comes with the genes' she thought,walking into the Potions classroom. She sat in a desk near the window,so that if anyone's cauldron blew up, at least she'd still have fresh air. Unfortunately for her, Professor Slughorn decided it would just be magnificent if he assigned them each partner's. Devra didn't share the class with any of her friends except for....Alphonso,it just had to be him.
"Mr Black and Mr Weasley,Miss Britt's with Mr Nott and....." As the professor continued,she zoned out glancing ever so often at the Mp3 player around her neck- she was tempted of course,but refrained. "....Miss Channing and Mr Rosier" now that was what snapped her outve her thoughts,the ravenette watched as Alphonso gleefully approached her,taking the seat next to her,the blonde boy took out a quil and some parchment,now what made Devra snort was the fact that the quil was decorated with pink glitter and a purple ribbon. "What? I left mine at home so I borrowed Marisol's until the next hogsmead weekend" he scratched his cheek sheepishly, embarrassment evident in his expression. "Whatever" rolling her eyes,she focused as the lesson began.
"For this week we'll be discussing Pantine,a simple potion that changes the colour of whatever you pour it on" he explained the basics of said potion til everyone got it well almost everyone. "You and your partners will be making said potion,it doesn't matter which color" and with that,the professor scribbled the ingredients and method to make the potion.
Scanning the board,Devra quickly got the ingredients from the cabinet and when she returned,Alphonso was already sticking his head in the cauldron. "Alphonso,don't touch anything,don't look at anything and dont- just sit still" ordered the girl sternly,Rosier jolted upright in surprise,muttering a small yes ma'am. Devra followed the instructions to the absolute T. Anything below perfect concerning her grades was an absolute no for her,she couldn't help it,it was just the way she was raised. "I need to speak to professor Slughorn for a second, Don't touch anything" walking away,to the professor, Devra glanced one last time at him suspiciously. As soon as the periwinkle eyed girl was outve sight,Alphonso looked around the table. She had used all the ingredients except for a lone piece of blue unicorn hair. He stared at it long and hard. "I must- no I mustn't" the blondes hand hovered above the piece of hair. "But it's so pretty- no.Alphonso Evan Rosier.No.Just.No" he held his hand with his other,almost as if he was trying to restrain it as the two people sitting opposite of him,looked at him funnily.
Alphonso bit his lip, squinting his eyes. "But Merlin- it'd be such a nice shade" he of course dropped the unicorn hair into the cauldron,his face looming over the cauldron. Devra who had seen what he had done yelled, "ROSIER! NO YOU IDIOT-" Slughorn looked over, digesting what the boy had done before yelling as well "BOY GET AWAY FROM THAT CAULD-" it all happened in slow motion as the soft sound of 'highway to hell' played on the Mp3 which had been left on Devra's seat,looking up from the cauldron,he looked at them confused until-
