Early in the morning, I sat next to Hagrid and McGonagall during breakfast.

Severus was not there, which had raised suspicion amongst the teachers. To me, however, we was sulking because he has gotten in trouble. He would probably be alright later today.

It was nice not seeing his face for once.

I sat next to Hagrid and Mgnongall, who seemed delighted to have me.

"You look better today. Very radiant as if something new has happened," Mgongall had said, smiling. Hagrid also seemed to smile.

Had Hagrid known what happened last night?

"Almost like a woman in love," she whispered.

I jumped up and glared at Hagrid. He looked away, pretending not to notice. For a half-giant, I was not that small to avoid.

Through the mist of breakfast, Dumbldor had stood up and had notified that the six years would not be having classes with me, which I found both upsetting and sad.

They sighed and groaned.

"Instead, you are given a free period until the next class."

The children soon cheered with happiness and continued to eat their meals.

To my dismay, I knew this would be better for the kids and me.

After I had finished my breakfast, I had made my way to my classroom. The classroom was quickly fixed, and everything seemed to be back to normal. As if nothing had ever happened.

(Outfit Of The Day)

I heard a slight knock at my door.

Turning, I find Severus in front of me. His eyes seemed to drop, and his face was pale. I could tell he did not sleep well last night. His hair was somewhat disheveled, and small strands fell in front of his face.

Again I thought. Are we going to do the same song and dance?

I was about to speak, but he had spoken over me.

"I wanted to apologize for my rude behavior yesterday," he said, his voice somewhat hoarse. "I do not know what came over me, but I learn that it was unforgivable what I had said and done." He now seemed to get all mushy, which had started to freak me out.

He pulled out from his back a blue liquid in a potion jar.

"What is that," I asked. My face scrunched up, not wanting to receive whatever he wanted to give me.
