Be patient, my love

Hufflepuffs

6:34 A.M, MONDAY
Your POV
I woke up, took a 10 minute shower
and put on my robes.
These are to -what's the word?- strict.
I thought to myself.
I checked my bags four times and left to the Great Hall.
7:00 A.M
I saw Hermione reading away on the end of the table and gave her a friendly smile. She waved back taking her eyes of the book for at least 5 seconds,

I spotted Harry and Ron and sat next to them. "Hey, (Y/N)." Ron said groggily.
I sighed and raised my eyebrows in response. "Are you ready for today ?" Harry asked. "Sure." I replied.

I felt someone's eyes burning into the back of my head. I looked back to see three Hufflepuffs and hand full of  Ravenclaws and Slytherins including Malfoy.
Hm. I thought.

"So, what's your schedule?" Ron asked me.
"I don't know.." I said.
"We're we supposed to check it yesterday?" I asked. "Yeah." Harry replied.
"Oh.." Ron and I said .

I grabbed my schedule paper and looked at my first class and read it aloud. Transfiguration 8:00

"I think we should head off to class by now." I suggested. "But it's only," Ron said glancing a his watch "7:20 A.M"

"Like we're gonna get there in 10 minutes. This school is huge." I said.
"Okay."

Harry, Ron and I went and looked around the castle. "See anything?" I asked. "No." Harry and Ron replied.
I looked at Ron's watch.
"Well we're late. It's already 8:16!" I said. "Is this it?" Harry asked. I shrugged. We went in and everyone had their eyes on us.

"Uh.. Is this transfiguration?" I asked awkwardly. "Y-yes.." Someone answered. "Thanks.. Whoever that was." I said. It was a Hufflepuff boy who looked extremely uncomfortable and nervous.

I gave him an awkward smile. "Well thank God she's not here yet." Ron said. The cat that was on the desk turned in a Professor. Harry's , Ron's and my eyes went huge.

"W-wow Professor! Maybe you could teach me how to do.. whatever that is!" Ron said. "Well Weasley, maybe you shouldn't be late next time." Professor McGonagall said.

"We got lost.." Harry said. "Well perhaps I should turn You, Weasley and (L/N) into a map, compass and a watch?" She said.

"Mr. Weasley, sit next to Miss. Granger. Mr. Potter, next to Mr. Malfoy," I snickered as they both
groaned. "And Miss (L/N), next to Mr. Finch-Fletchley." She finished.

"Uh.." I said looking around. "H-here.." Finch-Fletchley said putting his hand in the air. I took a seat next to him and he started to squirm is his seat.

I raised my eyebrow. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Yeah.." He said his voice cracking.

I got a quill and an ink bottle and started writing down notes. Ron coughed getting my attention. 'He's weird' he mouthed to me. I shrugged. 'First day jitters, I guess.' I mouthed back.

I heard people chuckling from the table next to us. They were Hufflepuffs. I also saw Finch-Fletchley blushing.

It was 3 when the classes ended.

I was walking with Hermione when someone tapped my shoulder.
I turned around and saw Finch-Fletchley. "Hello. May I help you?" I asked politely. "Oh.. I- uh.." He stuttered. I looked at Hermione awkwardly. "I-I'm Justin Fin-" I cut him off. "Finch-Fletchley, nice to meet you. I'm (Y/N) (L/N)." I said putting my hand out.

He looked at my hand and turned darker shade of red. He opened his mouth to say something, closed it and ran off with his Hufflepuff group.

"How rude!" Hermione yelled at Justin. He turned redder (if that was possible)
and looked away ashamedly. The Hufflepuffs howled with laughter.

I opened my mouth to say something but closed it.

"Aww! (L/N) is falling for a little Hufflepuff!" Malfoy said. I glared at him. "I am not!" I shouted.
The Hufflepuffs were now on the floor laughing so hard they were crying.

Justin was the only one standing. He looked like he was going to cry, not of laughter, but embarrassment. He ran outside and I caught a glimpse of tears falling down his face. "Look what you've done, idiot! You made him cry!" I yelled at Malfoy. "Whatever." Malfoy replied.

"Hermione, I'll meet you at dinner or so." I said. She nodded.

I went outside and looked for Justin. I spotted him under an oak tree crying. I walked up to him. "U-um hi again.." I said to him. Looked up and wiped his tears on his robe.

"Are you okay? Don't take it personal, Draco's like that to everyone." I said trying to comfort him. He nodded. He shook my hand and gave an embarrassed smile. I smiled back.

"Do you mind if I sit?" I asked. He nodded and padded a spot next to him.
"I'm sorry I acted like that back there." He said. "It's cool." I replied.
We sat there and talked and laughed until dinner.
"Well, I should be going. I'll see you tomorrow?" I asked. He nodded.

Justin's POV
I sighed dreamily as I watched her go into the castle. I went into the Great Hall and sat with my so called 'friends'.
"So" Ernie said "How was your little date with (L/N)?"

"It wasn't a date! But, It was fantastic! The only thing I didn't realize is that I was blushing the whole time." I said.

Ernie tapped Hannah's shoulder and imitated my 'scene' with (Y/N). Hannah giggled. I saw Harley look at me, Ernie and Hannah and laugh. I blushed and looked down.

"Calm down!" Ernie said "you just met her today!"

I sighed. I saw a Malfoy walk up to her and talk to her. She started to laugh and said something to him. I felt a bubble of jealousy start in the pit of my stomach. "Don't tell me your jealous already! You should wait at least a month." Hannah said.

I swaggered up to the Slytherin table and stood in front of Malfoy. "Hey Malfoy, you scum, stay away from (Y/N), understand?" I told him. "Well little crybaby Hufflepuff, I can do whatever I want to and there's nothing you can do about it." He told me.

"Just don't go near her, alright? She's mine." I said and walked back to the Hufflepuff table.
