Beauty and the Beast (Remus Lupin)

3.

"I still can't believe Trelawney predicted that you'd fall in love." Ron teased Rose as they all walked to Defense Against the Dark Arts.

"You think I'm incapable of falling in love, do you?" Rose rolled her eyes.

"I mean, you did hit someone across the head with a book." Ron shrugged.

"Oh please! She was begging for it." They walked in to the classroom.

Harry sat alone as Ron and Rose went to sit to the table right next to him when they noticed Pansy and the loud Slytherin girl was sitting in front of them.

Rose tried to leave but Ron pulled her back too soon.

"We sure do luck out with our teachers. A big bafoon, a witch whose hat is bigger than her head, someone who calls palm readings magic, and now a person with a monstrous is scar across his face." Pansy laughed.

Rose stood up and slammed her hands on the desk which caused the two girls to jump around, "The fact that out of all people, you decide to speak on someone's appearance is pathetic! You don't even know the man yet and already judging him by something so little as a scar?! I take what I said back, you're the pathetic one!" Rose said.

"Ro...." Ron nudged her.

Rose looked up and saw Professor Lupin in front of the class smiling, "good afternoon ladies..."

Rose went to sit down but nearly missed the chair and when she caught herself, her bag fell down causing everything to fall out.

She then had to get back up and kneeled down and started picking things up not noticing her bottles of ink rolled over to the front of class until she sat back down and Professor Lupin had walked over to set them down in front of her, "...thank you..." she said putting the back in with her cheeks flushed from embarrassment.

Though she was normally alright when she would drop something or fall, she couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed doing it in front of Lupin.

"Now, you can all put your books away back in your bags. Today will be a practical lesson." Lupin said.

"Better for Ms. Clumsy back here..." Pansy whispered.

"Speak out of turn once more Miss Parkinson and points will be taken away. Or surly it's too important to wait until later?" Lupin looked down at Pansy and she put her head down.

"Alright then," he smiled to the class, "out the doors you go."

Everyone stood up and started to walk outside. Ron, Harry, and Rose left last with the professor behind them.

"Maybe she needs another good wack in her head..." Ron said.

"Oh, shut it Ron!" Rose whispered before tripping over her own feet but to her luck, the two boys were in front of her to catch herself on.

"Blimey woman, you're going to kill us." Ron said.

"That must be why I've got the grim." Harry joked.

Professor Lupin walked in front of the class, "now follow me!" He lead the way.

He didn't look like he did on the train. He had rested eyes and didn't look so ghostly anymore and his hair was well maintained. His robes were still patched up and old but still, he wore a smile on his face.

They eventually arrived in the teachers lounge with a wardrobe out in front wobbling around, "what do you suppose that is?" Harry wondered.

"It's Hogwarts, we'll never really know..." Rose said.
