Another class another annoyance.
Class was the normal boring thing, the professor talked and talked. My hand on my cheek as I tried to focus on class. I watched as the teacher started to speak yet again, my eyes unfocusing and focusing, making everything blurry and then clear as day. Usually I would focus in class but I had a small yet infuriating problem.
"Now to solve this problem, you'll have to..."
Solve that problem? Hah like hell I could do that. I could just go up to the Hufflepuff niffler in the middle of the hallway and say: 'Hey remember when I asked you out? Well actually I wanted to ask your hotter, better and amazing best friend.' if I did that I would've ruined everything. Then Brooke would think I was a player or worse. So here I sat, looking over at my seatmate, Y/N. She was busy writing something down, but it wasn't anything that the teacher was saying or teaching. Merlin, she is nothing like Brooke.
My sight wanted to drift away at Brooke yet it just couldn't. I kept staring at the paper and read every single word she wrote.
"Daylight is like the sun's scream for attention, meanwhile the moon is there too. Alone and paying no mind to the many minds who celebrate it's big brother."
Y/N is a poet, how great. I asked out a damn poet instead of the smart and merlin pretty Brooke. Finally my body wanted to work with my eyes, I looked back at the teacher just for them to look straight at me. Waiting for me to respond to something I didn't even listen to. I was in deep trouble now wasn't I? I sighed and rubbed the back of my hand before someone saved my ass, which shocked me a bit.
"The answer is Alihotsy Draught, sir." The voice came from right beside me, it was none other than Y/N because of course it was! I sighed and mumbled a thanks after the teacher had nodded and turned his back. Though after a bit my shock turned bitter. Did I really just get saved by the Hufflepuff niffler? Was that to piss me off even more? God, when was the lesson over? Tik tok and another tik, it was only twenty minutes into class. The wind was blowing in from the open window beside me, the sun was away as the sky was covered with gray and sad clouds. Qudditich campus was a bit away yet I can tell the tall towers were standing steady. Snow was slowly falling onto the windowsill, the cold and wet snowflakes made me feel a bit of home…
“Uhm… Lorenzo?”
My mind almost felt like it died with that jumpscare, I swear this girl was gonna be the death out of me. As I looked back at the Hufflepuff niffler I saw that she was shaking a bit. My smirk came onto my face even when I tried so desperately to stop it.
“What?” It came out a bit… Okay a ton more cunning than I meant it too.
“Can you close the window?”
She looked at me with a death stare, her eyes staring into mine like I was Gellert Grindelwald or something.
“I didn’t know a niffler like you could stare like that, bloody hell…”
I went to close the window, ignoring how playful my voice suddenly became. It was just my instinct. When the window was closed I sat back down, looking at her hoping it was good enough. Though she looked at me like I was the weird one.
“Hm?”
Immediately she turned her head the other way, ignoring my voice. Her hand on the desk playing with the pencil in her hand, it had this weird heart shape of an eraser at the end, though it wasn’t heart shaped well it was, the thing is… It was in the shape of a REAL heart. How peculiar. The teacher hadn’t seemed to notice whispering since he was still on about learning us some weird potion or something. Usually I would listen to class but today I just couldn’t muster up my thoughts.
Time went slower than usual too, had someone poisoned my luck? I definitely needed a few Butterbeers after this. My attention slowly went back to her as she wrote down something on a paper, making it so I couldn’t read it, which somehow annoyed me even more than her just existing. With all my pride I leaned over to look at what she was writing, our shoulders touching as I did so.
“What are you hiding, niffler?” I whispered into her ear as I still tried to read whatever she had written on the paper, my curiosity taking over my pride.
“Sod off.”
Well that was unexpected, I didn’t expect that from how she had been acting in the past what? 23 minutes of this class?
“Come on, is it something like ‘Ohh I just wanna Snog you Mr. Berkshire please oh please!’ or maybe-”
She cut my annoying yet playful voice off with pinching my ring finger, I tried pulling away but bloody hell she had a good grip on my skin. My voice almost escaped my lips with how bad she was pinching me.
“Sorry, sorry just.. Merlin.”
When she finally had let go of my skin, I could feel and see my skin was a bit yellow before turning red. I then stopped leaning against her, not wanting to deal with an angry hamster.
…
The bell rang after an hour and immediately I stood up and left, not even looking back at my Yule Ball date. Hoping I could find someone in my friend group, so I could go off about what happened in class. Thankfully I saw people within the five minutes of searching, Draco, Blaise and Pansy. When I came up to them they all looked at one another before looking back at me. They knew that I was gonna complain about that Hufflepuff niffler more than anything.
