The Potions Master

τωεитутшо: a date

I woke up panting, my eyes slightly watery, and Cassidy was shaking me. "Why is it that every time I tell you to have a good dream for me you don't?" She said sighing, I sat up and rubbed my eyes, smiling faintly. "Sorry I can't control it". I said and slowly got up, the light shining in faintly, it may be very early in the morning. "Today's Monday right?" I questioned. She nodded, grabbing my hand and handing me my robes. "Let's get dressed quickly! We could have first dibs on breakfast, maybe this time the strawberries will still be there". She smiled. Everyone liked the strawberries. I nodded and smiled back, I'm glad to have her back. I held the clothes and walked off to our bathroom so I could change in there and she could change in here.

When I was done I opened the door confused. "Wait, but breakfast is after second period?" I questioned. "Well, I suppose you wouldn't know, breakfast has been changed for us because a lot of students were complaining they wanted it earlier, and I guess they didn't tell the champions because you're all so busy". She explained and walked up to me. She noticed I didn't do my tie quite right and began undoing it. She silently laughed at me as I bashfully smiled. "Stop laughing". I mumbled smiling and she only nodded trying to hold it back, fixing it for me. "Let's go". I said after she finished, grabbing my wand. I dismissed the idea of holding all my books, I would just not take them today. I'd make up an excuse I was letting someone borrow them, I didn't feel like carrying them.

Cassidy and I rushed down the halls, sprinting. "Last one there is the troll in the dungeon!" I yelled, the halls dark and the windows still not letting in too much light since it was so early. I raced her, uncontrollably laughing, until a particular person stopped us, standing in the way. "What's your hurry L/n, and, hm, you". He said, hardly acknowledging Cassidy. He talked about her like she was a disease making my skin burn. "We just want some breakfast if you don't mind Professor". I muttered and began walking around him, Cassidy hesitantly following. I could hear him mutter something. I ignored. I had no reason to wanna hear what he has to say. Cassidy catching up to me as I hugged my robes around me annoyed. "What was that about? I thought you liked him". She whispered quietly to me getting close. "He's a jerk Cassidy. And I could want nothing more to do with him!" I yelled the last bit just loud enough, hoping he heard, hoping he knew we were talking about him. "Now I am not gonna be the troll in the dungeon!" I started and began to sprint again, Cassidy seemed to catch on fast because she started running miles ahead of me.

I ended up being the troll. "No fair! You play quidditch". I mumbled and crossed my arms, acting pouty, pursing my lip. She only laughed at me and pulled me along. "There's still enough strawberries for a troll, now come on let's eat".

Once we made our plates we sat down we're we usually always sat. "So have you heard about the ball?" I asked and put a mouthful of pancake in my mouth. She gasped. "YES! I almost forgot! I'm so excited!" She began raising her hands excitedly. "I can't wait, my mums already orders me a gown, and what about you?"

"Eh, I haven't really thought about it, I really don't know if I'm going". I said in between chewing. "No, you're going, Y/n L/n is going to the ball! Date or no date! You HAVE to come!" She said taking a bite of the strawberries. I giggled. "Well I'll have to get my mum to buy me a dress then huh?" I said. "Alright I'll go I guess". I said. She did a little victory dancе, she knew I was easily lead. "I suck at dancing though". I said quietly. "Oh well I do too, but luckily, we get training!" Cassidy said making me spit out my morning orange juice. "What? From who?" I asked, hoping for the best. "Each head house staff member will teach us today, and tomorrow, and then after and so on".

"Head of Each House?" I asked still unsure. "Well you know, Mcgonagoll for Gryffindor since she's the head, Flitwick for the ravenclaws and Promona Sprout for the Hufflepuffs". She explained casually. "What about us? I mean?" I asked furrowing my brow. She began to look away and bite her lip. "You won't like it". She said. "Who's our head house?" I asked again, scared for the answer. "Professor Snape". I sighed and aggressively put my drink down. "When does it start?" I sighed, a bored tone. "Well classes have been even cut short for the week, for the purpose of learning how to dance, everyday after lessons we go to the dungeons study hall and practice for about 40 minutes". She said. I groaned. "We have to?" I asked. "Yes". I began fake crying. "Don't be so dramatic". She giggled.
