-You have one week Hel-Max warned.

-But she already made him smile-Felicity protested.

-So she says..

-Max you don't believe her?

-Come on we all know a bet is a bet and she needs to prove it.

-Yeah I'd like to see it too - Heather smirked.

-Fine I'll try again in class.

-In class?

-Yeah Max I've made him smile more times than that one but he won't show it to other people.So either it won't work or you have to be discreet when he does it.

-We'll be discreet but if you cannot make him smile in our presence in a week you'll finish may papers next year.

-Fine I'll do it when its quiet.No one will be looking.

-Alright but warn us first.

In Potion Class

As per usual the class was chatting before Professor Snape's dramatic entrance.

The room got quiet faster than a gun being triggered.

The class started and Max was pressuring Hela to do it - This guy doesn't believe me - Hela pretended to be offended causing Heather to laugh.A hand slapped Heather in the back of her head making her look down. Once Professor Snape was far enough she punched Hela's ribs 'Sorry' she mouthed holding her rib and muffling a chuckle trying to focus.

The sound of potion bubbling and vials clicking was echoing through the silent room-I'm gonna try-Hela tells Heather.

Heather gestures to Felicity and she touches Max's shoulder gesturing for him to look at Hela.

'Are you gonna do it?' he mouthed and she nodded.

Hela puts her hand up catching the Potion Master's attention - Are you done?- he asked not looking at the caldron.

-Yes.

Snape gestures for Hela to get out of his way and she steps aside letting him evaluate her work.

He nods and tells her to sit and wait to the end of class.

Severus sighed and rested against his desk embracing himself in his cloak carefully supervising his students.

Hela gathers her stuff resting on top of her books. The strict professor scolds her with one look making her sit up.He clenches his jaw obviously bored and Hela decides to try cheer him up and complete her part of the bet.

The group is waiting so she coughed softly not disturbing the class but enough to catch Snape's attention.

Hela smiles to him receiving an eye roll in return making Max laugh silently still bothering Professor Snape, who sent him a demanding look, which made Hela laugh.

Snape sighed definitely tired and glanced towards Hela who once again offered him a comforting smile which affected Severus making him sighed and smile.

Max's jaw drops and Felicity shut it for him making him look at his book now that Hela's part of the deal was completed.

Snape walked towards Hela's desk which made her look up so she could look him in the eyes, he looked her in the eyes profoundly and so did she.

Max got confused, no one could look him that long in the eyes without feeling the need to look away.

The now less bored professor looked around only to verify everyone was working.He walked past Hela, who was looking at his cloak, he caressed her, resting his hand on her head, quickly taking it away as he stepped away walking towards the end of the room.

Hela smiled proud of her accomplishment.
