Delayed Arrival

We both walked into the Halls, stopping as our paths diverged. She had a fifth year class to attend.

Cho Chang kissed me before departing.

The passing Hufflepuff students eyes widening.

"Is he dating her too," they whispered? It was time for my class.

I opened the door.

A few students looked back at me, including one Hermione Granger. Her disappointment told me all I needed to know, it couldn't have been too obvious what I was doing. Who would expect me with Cho Chang?

My eyes noticed badges that many were wearing, with the words Support Cedric Diggory

and Potter Stinks on them.

But as the lady crossed her arms, my attention went elsewhere.

Aurora looked angry. In a terrifying, but somehow really sexy way. Her anger seemed to be completely directed at me.

I was late I guess.

"Idius Halfhwit," said Aurora, "I take truancy very seriously." The professor didn't sound as angry as she looked.

"Your actions can get you in a lot of trouble," said Aurora.

It was probably my turn to speak.
