Herbology with Gryffindors (2)

"You're not supposed to just grab them, otherwise they'll start to flower. So, as Professor Longbottom stated, use the levitation spell to put them in the jar. Don't let them touch the edge of the jar or anything else." Isabella said. "I don't suppose you want to make a fool of yourself like your friends in the back?" She cocked her head at the back of the room.

Nick glanced in the direction of her head. His friends were being reprimanded by the Professor because their seeds had flowers, making a mess of leaves and flowers. There were students snickering around them.

So Nick did as Isabella told him.

She was so much different than he expected. He thought he would be the one to talk first, or that she'd be shy, but he certainly didn't think she'd approach him just to scold him. It certainly was an unexpected turn of events and not to mention that this wasn't the greatest first impression. But he'd had worse first impressions that were best not to be remembered.

"Alright, you did it, pay more attention next time, will you?" She said, not giving him a second glance. "Don't need you making a mess and risk messing me up..." she muttered.

Nick didn't know what to say because he was still surprised. But he wasn't the only one. Other Ravenclaws and Gryffindors glanced at her with surprise. No one really ever reprimanded or messed with Potter. Until her. So Nick stayed quiet the rest of the class, and he occasionally stole glances at her.

Mira passed her a note.

'Did you just scold the famous Nicolas Potter???'

She scribbled something then passed it back.

'Yeah... he was being annoying, he wasn't paying attention and was about to make a mess! What did you expect me to do?'

'Idk.. but not that. Most people just let him get in trouble. Also, he keeps looking at you'

'well then it was time for someone to talk to him and yeah I noticed... it's getting a bit weird'

'Alright, anyways Adam is congratulating you, says that maybe you can stand up to him on the Quidditch field lol.'

'I'm willing to try :)'

Adam took the pen and paper from Mira to see. He excitedly wrote something down.

'Wait wut seriously? We are missing a Seeker...."

'Tell me at lunch or next class, incoming teacher'

Professor Longbottom was heading back to the front of the class so they discarded the note quickly. Adam seemed to be very pleased.

Once every student had safely put their seeds in sealed jars, Professor Longbottom said-

"Alright students, that will conclude today's class, see you all tomorrow."

It was 9:50, their next class started at 10:05. About fifteen minutes to spare.

Just as she was about to walk out, someone stopped her.

Nicolas Potter. Great.

"Wait!" He said.

"What?" Isabella replied, no emotion.

"You're new here, right?"

"Yes. Came from Beauxbatons, parents decision to move, personal reasons, is that all, Potter?"

"Well, I..." he started.

"Potter!" Professor Longbottom was calling him.

"Yes sir?"

"Come in here for a second."

Isabella took the chance to get away from him.

Nicolas was about to call after her, but he decided against it. He barely knew her, but there was something about her that interested him. Perhaps it was the fact that she was the only who messed with him, aside from his friends that is. Or maybe because she didn't swoon at the sight of him like most girls. She was different.

"What'd Potter want?" Mira asked, once Isabella had caught up with her.

"He asked if I was new, that's it. I walked away before he could say anything else." Isabella said.

"Oh ok. Well let's get to class, we can sit in the front again." So they rushed off to Charms.

They had Charms with Slytherins.

The class went by quickly, they were mostly practicing wand movements. The last Twenty minutes of class were just free time. They stopped to chat with Kaylene during that time. Michelle was talking to someone else on the other side of the room. He was tall, with honey colored eyes, and neat brown hair. Kaylene said he was the Slytherin Keeper for their Quidditch team (which explained his athletic build). His name was Samuel.

Michelle seemed to be teasing him about something, they were both laughing.

"I totally ship them." Kaylene said. "We call it 'Samelle'"

Isabella agreed. They seemed to have good chemistry overall.

"You should see them in our common room. They're always teasing each other an arguing. I'm waiting for them to confess their love to each other." Kaylene continued.

"We don't want another incident like last year..." Adam jumped in.

Kaylene started laughing at the thought of it.

"What happened?" Isabella asked
