Chapter Five - Challenge Accepted

 -Hela are you going to bail out of our bet? - Max sneak from Gryffindor´s table to Slytherin´s.

-The hell I am.I´m going to try it later

-Why later? He can’t scold you now

-Max don’t force it. - Hela laughed as she received a bored sighed from her friends mouth.

After dinner Heather steals Felicity from the friend group to talk, Max asks Hela if she wants to come to the yard with him and some Hufflepuffs.

Hela thanks him saying she’ll stay there for a while.

Hela rests her head on her hand and looks around watching some second years goofing around, her Slytherin colleagues eating and the teachers chatting.

She looks at Dumbledore who’s chatting with her Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher on his left.

On his right side is Professor Snape and Hagrid small talking.She watches as Snape adjusts his posture resting his arms on the table edge.

Professor Snape finishes the conversation with what looked like an “Agreed” lifting his gaze to the remaining students giving them little to none attention. Laying his eyes on Hela he stopped since she was staring first.

Snape semi closes his eyes trying to understand the situation.

Hela gives him a small smile which was practically ignored. Hela seemed slightly offended.

She stared harder as Snape turned to Dumbledore then again towards her. Hela smiled once again staring straight into Snape´s eyes which he rolled once again escaping from her eye contact.

Hela sat looking towards the   teachers' table crossing and legs and resting her head on her hand waiting for Professor Snape to look at her again.

He didn’t seem interested in keeping whatever game Hela was trying to play so he kept on ignoring her until he heard a low cough. Snape sent the source a deadly and now annoyed look. The brunette laughed once the deadly look hit her.

She sat straight and smiled quietly gesturing how to raise the corners of his mouth in a smile.Severus placed his hands in front of his face entangling his fingers only allowing her to see his eyes.

She gave up and turned to the wall resting her head in both her hands.

She still felt someone looking at her so she looked around only to see Professor Snape in the exact same position looking at her ´Very well, lets play then´ Hela sat exactly like Snape except for the hands, she placed them under her chin and gave him an adorable smile.Snape blushed slightly not giving it away. Hela pretended to be mad and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

Snape rested against the chair now with an open posture and Hela felt like he was actually open to try what she wanted.

Hela accepted the challenge and prepared herself.

She pulled her hair up in a pony tail and Snape got amused with her effort towards something so trivial.

Hela put on a serious face confusing the Potion Master who slightly tilted his head. The girl transitioned to a small smile face which had no affect in the target as she expected.The smile grew as the happiness in the girl´s face starting to contagiate the dark haired man.

Hela gave him the most adorable smile she could and he didn’t move.Hela sighed and got up.

Professor Snape noticed Hela had given up and the hope he had on the game vanished.

He turned to the Headmaster who had called him.

Before answering he looked one last time towards Hela that gave him a sincere smile announcing he won.

Snape smiled back. A quick almost untraceable smile.Only the right corner of his mouth moved but Hela saw it.Hela opened her mouth in surprise and that made the dark man widen lightly the smile on his lips.

Hela laughed to herself and nodded towards him turning to leave the Great Hall.

Snape kept looking at her while Dumbledore talked to him.

Hela jumped in the air with her arms up touching her feet on each other as a happy little child.

That little gesture made the feared professor smile sincerely.

'Interesting girl…'
