Time Warp

Chapter 25

Seer knocked on the door as she herd a cough. She knocked once more as someone sighed.

"It's me Professor Moody!" She said softly.

"Come in Miss Smith!" He called as she walked in fully. She smiled and walked to him.

"Hi," she grinned.

"Hello Miss Smith," he said looking at his desk.

"I'm sorry I haven't came by anytime, I've been extremely busy with homework and the tournament," she huffed out.

"It's fine, Miss Smith," he breathed out shortly.

It was quiet in the class. She wasn't sure what to say. Why wouldn't he talk to her? She sighed and looked out the window.

"Thanks again for helping me with the first task," she grinned as he nodded and went back to his paperwork.

"I really like what you've done to the office," she smiled. It wasn't much different. Books were scattered everywhere. He nodded and coughed as he stayed to his work.

"B-Barty?" She croaked out as he finally looked up at her and grinned.

"He's about to be here in a few moments Celia," he grinned as she sat down. That was all she had to do, use his real name and he smiled at her. Soon Moody started grumbling as he transformed into the man she loved to have Defense Against the Dark Arts with.

"Celia," he grinned as he hugged her.

"Barty," she breathed out hugging him tight,"I am so sorry I have been neglecting you."

"It's fine," he smiled. He let go of the hug as he sat back in his chair and she rolled up a different one.

"Now what can I do to help you?" He asked.

"I just wanted to visit you," she grinned,"see if you needed help with classes, do some lessons, you know like we did last semester."

He nodded as he stood up.

"Is this about the tournament?" He asked.

"No," she lied.

"I'm getting that you know what it's about, don't you Celia," he said worriedly his facial features like The Doctor.

"I do know, I found out, and I still have trouble. But I'm not here because of that," she said calmly.

He nodded. He looked at her then to a book shelf. He grinned as he raked his hand though his hair.

"How about you reorganize my shelf of books!" He smiled as she nodded. She got up and walked to his bookshelf and reorganized the books as he went back to working.

She could hear him silently hum as she grinned. She took out books and reorganized them as one fell to the floor. It opened up to one page as she smiled.

'How to become a Mermaid'

"B-Barty?" She huffed out as he smirked and looked at her.

"Yes?" He smiled.

"Did you-?" She grinned.

"No Celia, I didn't charm the book to make every page that spell," he grinned.

"Well, if you did I'd have to thank you," she smiled at him as he grinned at her. She walked over to him and hugged him.

"It's a potion, I'm sure you and miss Granger can work on it together since I'm not aloud to help you," he sighed as she groaned.

"Or you could just work on it with me," she said softly,"nobody would find out you're helping me."

"We can't take that chance, Celia," he hummed as she sighed and sat down in a chair.
