"come on Lara we're going to be late!"
I heard Ce saying from outside the bathroom,
"alright i'm coming!"
I shouted back, today was our first day of forth year, and i have to say it didn't turn as bad as i thought, this year we would learn how to do wandless spells, i was so excited,
"let's go"
i said walking out of the bathroom with my uniform on, it was a gray silk dress that reached under the knees, toped with a navy blazer that had our house crest which was a moon,
Cecile and i went to the common room where Genevieve or as we call her Gen, we were in the Ombrelune tower which was in the east wing, near the library, we all went out and headed to the grande salle which is the equivalent of the great hall from hogwarts, we entered into the see of colors of boys and girls in green, navy, white you name it,
We sat down at our usual place and chatted as we ate and i ate my favorite dish "Bœuf bourguignon" it was kind of like a stew but it was more complicated with mushrooms and onions and a bit of carrots, it was really delicious, and as we ate a boy came and sat beside Ce, she rolled her eyes and continued stabbing her pasta,
"hello love, i know you would prefer to stay with your friends but i wanted to bless you with my company for a bit"
He winked a smirk stuck on his face, for starters he was a good looking boy, but i knew how arrogant he was, though the way he acted around Cecile was strange, as if she was the only one in the room, like no one mattered but her, i knew he cared for her, a blind man could see it, and i admire his determination to get the girl he wants, but he was doing it the wrong way, Cecile was not the kind of girl to fall for the arrogant bad boy, even when i can clearly see she liked him back she stays stubborn,
"more like a curse if you ask me"
i chuckled under my breath, they both are soo oblivious, i seriously need to start helping them out, but before i can say anything one of his friends came over and pulled him away,
"you know, you would make beautiful babies"
Ce had to cough at least 50 times before she could breathe normally again, swallowing some water she glared at me,
"what's that supposed to mean?"
Genevieve and i couldn't help but laugh at her, we both new about how they feel for each other,
"what lara means is that it doesn't take a Genius to find out you fancy him"
Gen said as she was the first to calm down,
We continued bickering until the bell rang, and everyone went to their classes,
i had my first two classes by myself, and luckily it was wand-less magical use or WMU the professor from last year retired this year so we had a new teacher,
i walked through the bright palace halls and made my way to the classroom,
I walked in and took a seat in the second row, i hated sitting in front and i didn't want to sit in the back with all the slackers, i took out my notebook and my quill and ink, waiting for the professor to come as all the students pilled in, a black haired girl sat next to me and smiled, i smiled back and turned my head at the sound if the back door opening, but i never expected her to walk in,
"hello class, my name is professorAnsel, and i'll be your new wand-less magic use teacher,"
Her. the same woman who taught me DADA in hogwarts, but what is she doing here? this can't be a coincidence, was she following me?
"class please take out your wands, we are just going to briefly go over some spells, i just want to make sure that you all know your incantations well"
Her french was fluent as she spoke to the class, for the entire class i stayed observing her, she was complementing the ones who perfected their spells and helped the ones who struggled with some spells, i was the last person she came to,
she smiled when she saw me, but i kept my neutral face and continued preforming my spells which were perfect and powerful, she just smiled and nodded before retreating to her desk at the beginning of the class,
"thank you, now that i know that all of you have perfected your spell work, tomorrow we will start practicing the levitation spell nonverbally, then we can practice it wandlessly, make sure to practice this spell"
Just as she finished the bell ringed and everyone started to pack their bags, while she went and sat down at her desk,
I waited for the class to empty out before i walked over to her, i stayed standing in front of the desk, she looked up at me
"Hello Elara, it's been some time" she smiled at me,
"i see your still wearing your necklace,good"
she said after a few seconds, i furrowed my eyebrows, i am wearing my necklace but it was tucked inside my dress and blazer, how did she see it?,
"i honestly don't know why i'm still wearing it, but to cut to the chase, are you following me?" i didn't want to come up rude to my teacher, but i needed to know if it was true or i was just overthinking things,
"Elara, you have grown into a beautiful young lady, but i can see that's not the only thing that's grown, you have always been very observant and intelligent ever since you were a baby" she was so calm saying that, 'since i was a baby' what is that supposed to mean?,
"you didn't answer my question" i retorted,
"I told you before Elara, everything will be clear in time, now i suppose you have a class to attend to" she stood up and walked over to me,
"Don't be unsettled child, it will be explained soon" she pushed a strand of my hair behind my ear as she walked me outside of the classroom, and before i turned and walked away i said,
"that's what you said last time"
...........
"i'm telling you he set his hair on fire!"
both Ce and Gen were laughing at the story Elodie was telling us, Elodie was a Papillonlisse she wore a blue silk dress with a purple blazer, her house symbol was a butterfly, and she was perfect for that house, she is what you would call a social butterfly, everyone knew her, and she was kind and very likable, as most of the boys had a crush on her, how could they not? with her blonde short hair black dark eyes, and rosy cheeks, she was in one of the richest french pure-blood families, And you can only guess the joy my parents had when they knew we were friends,
"lara, you alright?" she asked looking worried, "yeah i'm fine, so did any of you take WMU yet?" i said trying to change the subject as fast as possible to avoid any questions,
"i did, the new teacher looks kind but you can never know from a first class, i just hope she knows what's she's doing" Cecile said placing a piece of chicken in her mouth,
"i have her after lunch, i just hope she's not the kind to not care whether we do it right or not.." Genevieve said, while i zoned out looking over to the teachers table,
She was sitting there talking to our Divination Professor, she was smiling as she occasionally took a few bites from her food,
maybe i was being paranoid, maybe it was just a coincidence, but my gut feeling told me otherwise,
i felt a warm feeling on the skin of my chest, i looked down and put my hand to the source of the heat, i felt the necklace vibrating ever so gently, but when i looked back at her she was looking at me with a slightly surprised look on her face,
did she feel it somehow, i mean she was the one that gave me the necklace, i shook my head and tried to pay attention to the conversation my friends were having,
Oh boy this was going to be a long year...
