 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Claudine took a moment to realise that the umbrella was put into her hand. She blinked at it a little stupidly at first and by the time she looked around, Heath had already disappeared. How rude. She was so miserable due to the weather and her cold and then Heath went and left her. Whatever. This was why she never depended on other humans; they were always a let down. The third year just hoped she would remember to return his umbrella later. At least she was seated now on a stump {hopefully her clothes wouldn’t get damp}. And that Star Wars umbrella? Yeah, it was still open and over her head for two reasons: another sneeze might be coming along and she had already forgotten Williamson’s words about putting them away.
The Snakette bit her lower lips as she tried not to laugh at Williamson’s defensiveness. Jarveys, in general, were usually rude. And in any case, they could pick up these phrases from anyone. Merlin knew even students could be foul mouthed too. “I know, Professor. Just a little joke, I promise.’’ Listen, aside from Rainwater and Eris, Williamson was the only other professor she felt truly comfortable with. Then she was shaking her head. “I’ll take a visit to the Healer after the lesson.’’ Just a determined student here to learn all that she could. And Claudine was feeling warm and fuzzy because he cared.
As she tried to focus on the answers to the fresh question, the third year pressed the back of her free hand against her nose as though trying to hold in another sneeze. She didn’t need Williamson forcing her back to the Castle. When she felt her nose had settled down, she raised the same hand. “Jarveys are classified as triple X by the Ministry. That means they should be no headache to witches or wizards who are skilled enough.’’ |
