Professor?

26

Before we went to breakfast I vanished my clothes from my bag and slung it over my shoulder. Neville and Percy were supposed to bring my books down with them.

"It's a bit early to go straight to breakfast." Remus sighed

"I'm just getting prepared for the day. It's gonna be slow." I shrugged.

"I know what you mean. I feel sluggish myself." He nodded stretching his arms over his head. Trying not to wince.

"Don't over do it today. There's a quidditch match tonight." I smiled "Do you think you'll go to the match tonight?"

"I don't know yet. I want to go. But being back in those stands it's hard for me not to think of sitting in the stands with Peter watching James and Sirius show off in front of the school. I suppose I could go for a bit. But with the grading I have to get done I couldn't stay long." Remus sighed

"The joys of life. I forgot I'd be neck deep in homework tonight." I huffed enthusiasm fading.

"I know. I hope you don't have too much on your plate tonight. I'd help you but I'm neck deep in grading." Remus said

"I thought so. We're gonna be busy the next few nights. I wonder if I can get Hermione to help me a bit if she doesn't have much to do." I shrugged

"I hope so." Remus sighed

"If she cant help me I'm sure the twins and lee can give me a helping hand after the match." I told him

"I'm sure they would." He nodded

"If all else fails I'll ask for an extension on the homework. Snape wouldn't give it to me but everyone else would. Whatever he's got assigned is what I'll do first." I shrugged

"Good. Most of the teachers will give you at least a week. They did for me." Remus said "if you absolutely need a bit of help I'll see what I can do."

"Thank you Remus. I've always been able to keep up pretty well. I just have to focus and get in my zone. I'll get it done. I hope i get Snape's stuff done tonight. The faster I get it done the less displeased he is with me." I shook my head

"From what I hear from him and other teachers you're a model student. Snape doesn't exactly hate you. McGongall is proud of you. Sprout says you're best of the class. Flitwick is impressed by you. Binns knows your name which means he likes you.  Sinistra isn't saying much. Vector well you know she loves your work." Remus smiled

"I just do what I'm supposed to do.  Granted I do get my homework done faster than most when it's not the moon." I shrugged trying not to smile

"Well I do know this I checked in on Neville a week ago. He's doing pretty well in everything but potions." Remus told me.

"He's never been good with potions." I shook my head

"I'd help him but Snape won't like that." Remus sighed

"I know. He'll be able to get out of potions in his sixth year." I sighed "then he can go nuts in herboblogy."

"He does have an aptitude for plants doesn't he?" Remus smiled

"Yes. He knows what he's doing when it comes to plants." I smiled

"Must make you proud that he's found what he's good at." Remus said

"It does yes. It makes Gran proud. She just wants him to be like Dad so badly." I sighed

"She'll be proud of the grandson she's got. He'll do great things once he's able."
