chapter four

third person's pov

"Miss Teach , could you stay back for a minute?"

Eve cringed and turned around, a smile on her face " yes sir?"

It seemed stupid for her to call teachers "sir", but by the look in his eyes he liked it, even more than he was proud to admit.

"I wanted to make sure you're fitting in at school, with your classmates and everything". liar. he only wanted to have time with her alone, but he convinced himself that was the reason.

"uhhh yeah. yeah I'm fitting perfectly well, I've made some friends and everything um so everything's cool" okay and now she was ranting. she hoped he would stop her, because it really wasn't her fault, it was his.

he smirked slightly when he realised she was nervous and red. "well, just remember that I'm always here for anything, I am your teacher after all" she nodded quickly and made her way to the door, but stopped suddenly and turned around.

"actually, I may have a problem. I have potions class and I don't know where it is, could you help me..?" Alex's face lit up " yes of course let me get my papers" and walked with her out of class.

now, it was really tempting to take her through the long walk to class, so that's what he did. It's not like he wasn't taking her, he was just taking a longer route.

" so um you studied at Hogwarts?" Eve asked timidly. she normally wasn't like this, she was straightforward and honest, but something about him made her wiggly and uncertain. and of course he realised he had this effect on her

"yeah, I studied here, 15 years ago? I finished about 7 years ago so yeah. I was in Slytherin if that's what you're wondering " he smirked at the last comment since she seemed to blush even more.

"also, quick question. why's everyone so against slytherin? I mean maybe it's just because I have friends in gryffindor and they've had past fights but..." " no, you're right. lots of people don't like Slytherin because they think that everyone who goes there turns out evil"

Eve scrunched her nose at this. evil? what a big word for a small thing a talking hat screams. and that's probably one of the most racist things she ever heard.

as they were getting closer to the potions classroom, they ran into Malfoy, Blaise and Theo. not that Eve even knew who they were.

"ah, and talking of Slytherin, here you have! these are Draco Malfoy, Theodore  Nott and Blaise Zabini. I trust that you're all late to potions?" as much as he was enjoying spending time with her, he couldn't spend too much or students or teachers would notice.

"perfect, you'll walk Eve here to class, and treat her well" he emphasized the last word, because as much as he had spoken so well about Slytherins, he didn't precisely trust these three as the best kids ever

they nodded at the teacher and Eve smiled brightly at Alex ( mrTurner if you may) "thanks, I'll see you around?" rhetoric question. of course they'd see each other around.

and with that, Alex turned the smile back and turned around to go to another class, while Eve went along with the three boys hoping they would be nice

eve's pov

they were actually pretty good looking, though in a different way than Fred and George for example. or Mr Turner. (stop thinking about him!) these guys looked snobbish, cocky.

"so do you talk, mystery girl?" Blaise asked "no I'm actually mute" I rolled my eyes at him. his friend Theo smiled lightly and Draco turned towards me "so, friends with Potter yet?" I was a bit confused now " you mean Harry? yeah, why?" I don't know about you guys, but I've never seen anyone spit someone's name like that, hatred and admiration?

"nothing nothing " I rolled my eyes at him " then if it's nothing why are you making it a big deal?" he sneered at me and suddenly something lit up in me "oh my god! do you have a crush on him or something! I mean he does give me very much bi vibes, so I'll ask him later if he listens to sweater weather or boy in blu-" Draco stopped walking, turned around and pointed his wand at me

meanwhile Blaise and Theo were laughing their asses of. now I was really confused. didn't they know he was gay? oh my god! maybe i just outed him to his friends! " don't you ever talk that way to me, do you understand? don't you dare say-" "she's right you know mate, and she's only known you for two minutes " Blaise said.

Draco turned red and stormed to what I suppose is the potions classroom. Theo had stopped laughing now and they both composed themselves. " just, don't say what you just told us to  anyone. please " he asked and I nodded.

"don't worry, I'm not gonna out someone, I just though it was obvious" Theo grinned  "i like her" and with that we went into the potions classroom.

okay so when I say I hate Snape and I've only known him for less than 30 minutes, I meant it. he was a dick to me from the beginning of the class to the last second, even though I came as late as the other three Slytherins and he wasn't mad a them. favoritism showing 🙄😐

anyways this meant that he gave me fucking detention. on my first day. for being late. when I had already told him that I had no idea where the classes where.

so now my Friday afternoon was gonna be ruined. I quickly walked to the great hall to eat lunch because I was dying of hunger (being mad at others takes up a lot of energy)

I ate lunch with Hermione and then we both went to the library to read a bit since we had free period. meanwhile she was doing our homework in two weeks advance, I was thinking about the one and only.

okay so yeah, I did have a crush on him. and it was never going to happen, but with his low voice and his sexy accent and hair and..

" hello? Earth calling to Eve?" I quickly shook my head " yeah what?" Hermione chuckled at me "a boy got into your head?"

I blushed and this seemed to confirm her suspicions "yessss! so who is it!?" she whispered excitedly "I'm not gonna tell you, you'll make fun of me " I told her, next thing I need is someone teasing me when he's nearby.

I was saved by the bell as I say. or by forge as I would soon start saying.

"hello wonderful Hermione, would you mind if I took Eve for one second?" fred teased and took me outside and started running which I took as my cue to quickly follow him.

"where are we going?!?"
