Love Bite!

Chapter Four

After Sirius explaining that he was the new transfiguration teacher and he started this year. We both promised to catch up over a cup of tea in his office after the lessons were over.  He left to go and sit at the staff table. He was laughing at something Headmistress McGonagall had said.

 I looked down the staff room and saw that all the teachers were smiling about something. I reached the end of the table to see a scowling professor. Severus Snape was looking down at his untouched food and was frowning about something. His eyebrows were furrowed together and he was moving his food around. Something must be really annoying him if he won’t eat.

Ever since day one of Hogwarts you can see him eating a plateful although the plateful looks dignified when he eats as he does it a chivalrous manner. I guess when dining with Voldemort you have to have table manners. I can’t imagine Voldy having any manners. I mean can someone go from torturing and killing to having table manners?

Enough about Voldy. I looked at Melody that was sat across from me. She was currently sitting across from me and was sipping her orange juice. Now looking at her I could tell that she was related to Sirius she had the same eyes and the same features. Why did her uncle look after her? What happened to her parent? I didn’t want to bring up bad memories for her if they were bad.

‘So what’s this story about how you got expelled?’ I asked curiously.

She gulped down her orange juice and took a deep breath preparing to tell the story.

‘Well me and the head girl had a major fight because she caught me throwing some eggs at the headmistress’s door. Don’t look at me like she deserved it. She called me ugly. Anyways the head girl started shouting at me in French. I obviously still don’t understand French as I can’t be bothered to learn it so to shut her up I threw some eggs at her. She then starts to slap me and pull my hair. I punch her and just as I went in for the punch the headmistress’s door opens and she sees me on top of the head girl going in for a punch. Didn’t look good at all.’ She said.

We looked at each other and just burst out laughing. I was laughing so much my ribs were hurting really badly.  We carried on like this until we heard an emotionless voice hiss behind us

‘As much as that story amuses me. Everyone has left for their lessons. As your head of house you are going to have detention with me tonight at seven. Don’t be late.’ He walked away well more like floated away. It always looks like he floats.

‘Aw great detention on like our first day. What a bummer.’ Mel said.

I rolled my eyes. Only she would say bummer.

‘C’mon we better get going we don’t want to be even more late do we.’ I said.

We grabbed our things and went. Luckily my first lesson was with Sirius. I don’t think he would be too angry.
