Penny Haywood one shots

One Who Loves Potions and the One Who Doesn't Part 1

"Ugh, why do we always have potions on Monday, Thursday, and Friday!" I moaned quietly while whispering to Rowan beside me.
"I mean, it's reasonable when Snape's always targeting you." Rowan whispered back while Snape turned away.
"MC, How many days does it take to brew Veritaserum?" Snape asked as he turned around to look at me.
"Your as-I mean, one lunar cycle." I coughed mid-sentense to cover my words.

Snape glared at me.

"...Class dismissed."

As we left, Rowan quietly laughed.

"Oh, shut up, Rowan." I rolled my eyes but I also smiled.

"Why's MC so mean to Snape? Although I know that Snape isn't the nicest person, he's a great teacher. And why do they hate Potions so much?"

I pondered for a bit before Talbott called.

"Penny, why are you standing there for? We have Flying lessons next, and I wouldn't want Madam Hooch to get mad at us for being late."
"Oh, let's go then."

Talbott nodded.

I rushed over and barely managed to make it to class before Madam Hooch announced that we were going to learn Broom Surfing, which is a difficult move that could take a few weeks to learn.

As Madam Hooch explained the lesson, I glanced over at MC, and was surprised when I saw them glancing down notes once in a while paying attention to the lesson.

When it was time for us to try practice, almost everyone failed, including me. While I was trying to balance myself on the broom, Talbott nudged me, almost making me fall.

"Hey, you almost made me fall!" I quietly hissed.
"Penny, look over." He pointed behind me and I turned around.

When I turned around, I saw 3 students who were balancing on their brooms perfectly, and their names were "Charlie Weasley, Andres Ewgu, and.....MC."

Everyone around me was amazed, even Madam Hooch was smiling. Charlie, Andres, and MC all got 15 points for their houses.

"Hey-"
"What do you want." MC cut off my words.
"I just wanted to congrat you on perfecting the move on the first try."
"Yeah, yeah. I've heard it about a thousand times already, so why don't you just LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"

I was shocked for a bit, I stood there while they left.

"What did Haywood want?" I muttered while speedwalking to DADA.

I ruffled my hair. As I went inside, the first person I see, is Professor Tejhira(I made that name up), fighting a boggart while a third-year Slytherin was surprisingly sobbing on the ground.

"Hic* Mother, don't. Pleas-sniff* don't hurt me. Not again...." the poor kid sobbed.

"Riddikulus!" I pointed my wand at the boggart, and instead of a sadist mom, what was standing in front of the kid was a silly women with a clown suit, and a giant whoopee cushion that was making farting sounds caused by the women jumping on it before everything disappeared.

"You OK, kid?" I extended my arm, but....
"I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!"

They ran off, leaving me in the classroom, being stared at everyone.
